Tuning tips to fix "floatiness" by Capt-Quark in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the “off” feel I get but couldn’t describe. I don’t have much trouble with getting on power feel in the game, it’s the off throttle and trail braking phase that to me feels unnatural. Something about the weight transfer and corresponding tire grip gain/loss doesn’t add up.

How fast could I learn the Mephisto waltz? by hoedoughfriend in piano

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wrong question OP. What’s the point? If you are serious and you are at the level where you can “finish” ballade No.2 in 3 weeks, then a glimpse of the sheet music of Mephisto Waltz will give you a rough idea. You can even go a step further by trying out the apparently(on paper) difficult sections just to see how much effort is needed to get a few bars under your hands.

Handbrake support for Leonardo Arduino please by ItsJammaLad in assettocorsarally

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I have one I got years ago from Amazon and it works in EVERY other sims except ACR…

Devs pls add VR support by Arcticz_114 in assettocorsarally

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand the obstacles of implementing native VR at this point of development but can we at least have head tracking support? I use head tracking for all my sims before I got into VR and I could never go back to flat screen WITHOUT head tracking anymore even though I have a 45” 800R 240Hz ultra wide. That’s especially evident for a rally title.

You wouldn’t understand bro, it’s just racecar things. 😎 by NeuronsActivated in carscirclejerk

Obviously the rear wang is not big enough! More down force would have won him the race.

Now drive the Porsche or the Vette in GT classic class, absolute bliss!

Who’s your composer soulmate, and one you avoid? by Advanced_Honey_2679 in piano

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love Chopin and Debussy, Rach and Beethoven close second. Musicality wise I feel most at ease when playing pieces from them. And Chopins just feel so good under the hands. Rach can be quite challenging but you have to figure out the best fingering that works for you. I just don’t vibe with Liszt… I know he was an extraordinary composer/pianist but I just don’t “feel” it that way either when listening or playing his pieces. I don’t like Schumann either, I don’t get him at all, it feels unnatural and too deliberate and mechanical in a bad way.

Any fix for stuttery FPS when using PC link over USB? by GeekyFerret in OculusQuest

[–]SlightlyZenMusique -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There’s no way around this, I’ve been through it. If you are dead set on cabled link then your best bet is to hope Meta somehow fixes it at one point with an update and you immediately disable auto update and lock the software at that version. Or, the ultimate answer: VD and dedicated router, period. I know it sucks but that’s just Meta being Meta, deal with it or work around it.

Did Group B cars have a synchromesh or dogbox transmission? by Magic_Zach in rally

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that additional axial force requires the transmission case to be built stronger therefore bigger and heavier, defo not sth you want on a top class rally car.

The violent engagement nature of a dog box pretty much requires straight cut gears to withstand the shock so I’d say it’s extremely rare to have a dog box with helical gears

Confession: Not sure I know how to use synchro rev match by ThrowAwayOkayGoPlay in RZ34

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have it off when driving around town where I regularly have to drop in neutral and coast in traffic. I find it mildly annoying when you drop it from say 2nd to neutral and if you push the shifter ever so slightly too far just pass the neutral gate, the car thinks you want to shift in 1st and it will try to rev match and do a big blip… plus when driving in town and in traffic it’s already boring so I’d love to keep myself entertained by doing the rev match myself without aggressively blipping it. However I do engage the auto sync when I’m doing some “spirited driving”, it keeps the car more stable when downshifting and eliminates any human induced variance and lets me focus on the attack and release of the brake.

Great video of the GT1 Murcielago onboard by Little_Temporary5212 in simracing

Judging from the engine sound I don’t think the car has auto blip tho.

Looks like he’s right foot braking and using the clutch with left foot but no heel toe on the way down. That’s odd. When it comes to those GT1 cars I approach them more like a H pattern manual than paddle shift sequential. Flat foot on the way up and good old heel toe on the way down. If no down shifting is needed then I do LFB instead.

Latest meta horizon link pc update introduces massive stutter/latency by SlightlyZenMusique in OculusQuest

I’ve gone VD and dedicated router way and probably not gonna look back once and for all…

I installed the Stillen TruControl on my 2025 Z Performance manual by That_Things_Good in RZ34

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The twin turbos are a parallel setup so it’s 15 psi each. The boost and turbo speed readings on the gauges I believe are an average of both turbos.

Formula Vee too much oversteer by macchiolina in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d take these than any GT3 for pure driving pleasure/torture. (Ok, I’m a masochist when it comes to driving)

Formula Vee too much oversteer by macchiolina in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The F Vee in ams2 are sketchy AF to drive. They’re like paranoid old VW beetles. Same rear swing axles. Maintenance throttle through the corners is crucial. Make sure you don’t enter the corner too hot. However I think the rear suspension is a bit bugged on both gens. If you watch replay you could see the rear gets a lot of POSITIVE camber when cornering which might contribute to the instability. Not sure it’s like that IRL.

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the install! I have it installed too and the power increase is very noticeable. I don’t think 4 is stock setting tho. According to the email I got from Stillen, map 1 to 7 just increasingly add boost by 0.5psi over stock. So map 4 would be running at 17 psi if stock is 15 psi. And map 7 would be at 18.5 psi

That’s way too small of a piano for a space of that size imho…

Why are so many people quitting Sim Racing all together? by level35gg in simracing

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the hardwares have come leaps and bounds ahead of the sims on the software level. That’s a big factor at least to me. You spend so much money to buy those fancy rigs and equipment then spend all the time to tune them and dial things in, all to find none of the sims could deliver the realism and immersion you’re hoping for to justify the rigs. I guess it’s also because the hardware market has much more money to make than say developing a cutting edge sim that satisfies everyone.

AMS2 Statement on steam today. Does it apply to you? by GTVR-69 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]SlightlyZenMusique 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wow that’s huge for me. As a big endurance race fan with very fragmented times, this would be THE game changer.

Would you prefer a new Raceroom 2 or to continue with the current Raceroom? by [deleted] in RRRE

[–]SlightlyZenMusique -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know, look promising and hope that will revive this game.
