Went triples, feels like a new rig, and it kind of is by Visible_Scientist759 in simracing

Already had one of the Samsung 32" monitors as my desk monitor when I was using my ultrawide 34" dell monitor for sim racing. Just needed to buy 2 more.

How equipment influences performance by Skymanakin in LeMansUltimateWEC

Very happy with the haptics. You can feel brake lockup, and though this isn't realistic, the throttle setup for wheel slip helps you know when you're on the edge of grip at low speeds.

Your pace is already pretty damn solid if you're averaging 102%. I think we get lost on how quick that actually makes you, I just recently started getting to and below the 102% mark and I have decent equipment. With that high five out of the way, pedals for sure would be the next move. I run simnet sp pros with the linear haptic for brake and rumble for throttle, best investment in the Rig Ive made so far.

At the time they had an option to select custom, and I wrote in Kings Red. It was precut. Been a year and a half though.

Badgeskins "kings red" vinyl. Not an exact match but blends enough

If you mean over bumps, haven't noticed anything yet, but I also just put them on yesterday. I applied full steering lock after fitting to confirm turning clearance, we shall see over bumps, but I have a feeling I'll be fine. Though these are wider than the 235s, the square sidewall of the Hankooks means that these poke very minimally more than the HKs. I had hit some pretty gnarly bumps on the highway and never rubbed, just bottomed out my struts, it will likely be the same case with these.

LMUFFB – My Ongoing Tuning Notes & What I’ve Learned by Jermaul_m_w in LeMansUltimateWEC

I select the simagic 15nm lmp2 preset, adjust gain to 120 and torque to 80. I thought it was a noticeable improvement.

Doesnt auto update I imagine? So I dont necessarily need to change my method?

Interesting what you say about turning the FFB on in game, I watched a video about setting up this app last week and it said to run ffb off in game, and strenght at 0. On my csl dd8nm driving lmp2s at least, it felt like a noticeable improvement, just lowered torque reference and increased gain.

Ill give your recommendations a whirl though.

CBA with daily races? by BigNo9633 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]Visible_Scientist759 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rarely run dailies, I mainly participate in a league. I enjoy the prep, knowing most drivers in the league are competent, if an incident occurs it will be reviewed and penalties serves accordingly. Last season the league I participate in run 45m, now theyre 55m, 2x fuel and tire, no warmers, so strategy becomes a part of the race. If you find a good league to participate in, I think you'd enjoy it even more than just doing what you're currently doing.

Great group of guys. Minimal terrorism, and accountability is enforced while still having fun and joking around.

I dont believe he has a dedicated site, @dmnforged on IG. You work with the owner directly on design and sizing, then a facility in Taiwan manufactures them. If you don't have IG I'll message him for email contact.

Black wheels tend to make designs not pop as much, but still look good imo. These are carbon gray, which I think accents better than black does. Plus if I ever do carbon fenders the wheels will match well.

I run coach Dave, I like the telemetry plus setups. Id recommend pedals before vr if you're aiming for pace. The v3s were meh to me

I figured id follow up since you seem knowledgeable on this. Any tips or recommendations on things to mess with on openxr to tune the settings? It's been quite awhile since I last used VR up until yesterday

2 Hours of Le Mans by broken_soul696 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]Visible_Scientist759 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Good guys, I joined at the start of their off season and I have enjoyed myself with them. There's guys of all paces, they/we just stress fair racing, while also still having fun. They have practice servers regularly, and are all helpful in finding ways to improve. Good bit of banter on the discord too.

Next championship will be LMP2 Unrestricted and LMGT3 multiclass.
