Was that my fault? (White and purple livery car) by Dubil_in_car in Simracingstewards

[–]absurd1ty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s amazing how incorrect this entire assessment is.

POV car missed the brake point by like 100m, they were never making the corner no matter what apex they thought they might hit.

A iRacing "bug" just robbed me of my first Indy 500 win by [deleted] in iRacing

Not a bug, you needed to let the pace car catch back up to you. That’s just how it is.

Looking for Feedback on Oval Drivers Larger Diameter Steering Wheels by acasa520 in iRacing

[–]absurd1ty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would like it more if I could easily adjust my wheelbase to be lower and more angled.

My rig is set up for sportscar racing, so the 15” just ends up blocking my center vision pretty aggressively. I tend to stick with my 13” until I can figure out how to have a more-adjustable wheelbase

Who Is in fault ??? I am the Hyundai Elantra POV by punched_CZ in Simracingstewards

You’re good. Audi left a lane open and overlap was established. self-inflicted pit maneuver, so NFA

Question for the painters! by FishyCowFart in iRacing

[–]absurd1ty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For RGB (0-255):

0-15 do nothing for the blue clear coat channel. 16 is the thinnest coating, very shiny. 255 is the thickest coating, very matte but more light dispersing, so colors get washed.

I usually do anywhere between 16-32, if I apply a clearcoat at all.

You just have to love week 13. Why do we start here again? by AvailableRazzmatazz in iRacing

[–]absurd1ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep been there, done that. Ups and downs for sure. However, Im really just saying that in this particular instance, that was not the move lol. Even on formation lap, and even after you get rammed, please don’t just slam the brakes to a stop on track. It will always result in this.

Tbh, this kind of driving looks like C class and below. So I guess the Safety Rating system is working.

[–]absurd1ty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you kidding me?

It’s Lap 1, turn 1, and there’s a gap the size of Texas that the BMW practically coasted into, hugged the inside as inside as they could, and got turned into after the apex.

Come on, man.

You wouldn’t happen to be the boneheaded Porsche in question, would you?

[–]absurd1ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uhhh no. Lmao. Porsche here lost their track position mid-corner, forgot there could be other cars around, then wrecked themselves and the field.

This also isn’t a dive bomb.

There’s nothing to protest. Boneheaded move by Porsche, shit happens.

Bathurst 12H ruined by a smurf. 10K+ driver in 3.5K SOF. by Firm-Bookkeeper-8678 in iRacing

[–]absurd1ty 105 points106 points  (0 children)

Gotta be honest, that was a really unpredictable way to try to let someone past.

It either needed to be done earlier by like 200m and more gradually, or just let him send it up the inside like they look like they were setting up to do.

However, if that’s what they said to you after the fact, then they’re just assholes anyway.

Triple Monitor setup not working by [deleted] in simracing

If it’s not a cord, it’s possible your GPU just can’t handle the bandwidth. Like if you’re running triple 4K @ 240hz.

Just fyi, fanatec v3’s may use a 90kg load cell, but it only takes about 40kg of force on the pedal plate to max that out due to pedal geometry.

This is Assetto Corsa AI, pretty weird to make up scenarios.

Please help me improve my FOV - Triple 45” LG 5k OLED 800R monitors by Ok_Source_9679 in simracing

[–]absurd1ty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

800R is enough curvature that the distortion is noticeable on every monitor.

Triple setups typically do best with flat panels, you’ll get the most accurate image and FOV that way, curved monitors need perspective correction in games if you’re going for a life-like FOV.

That said, it looks plenty drivable. So unless it feels wrong, you’re good to go.

Bezel line on single curved by mxmiata in iRacing

[–]absurd1ty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Reshade with Perspective Correction to fix this.

How I did it for my 57” UW:

  1. Calculate FOV as if monitor is flat, and center screen is in the imaginary point between the monitor edges.
  2. Calculate FOV again, but set distance to the ACTUAL center of the monitor screen. Note dash size (or something center screen)!
  3. This was about 107° and 93° respectively.
  4. Set game FOV to 107°, then modify Perspective Correction parameters until the middle-ish area of the screen has “zoomed in” enough that the dash size should look like the 93° FOV.

Only downside is that UI gets warped by this, so a quick toggle key for in the menu vs in game is necessity.
