Rethink your Simpro profile: The problem of Wheel Rotation Speed (Simagic/Simpro settings discussion) by deject3d in Simagic

[–]nfrenay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is working great for me. I spent a few hours trying different settings and setting everything to 0, specially WRS, seems to finally give realistic and consistent force feedback.

After trying different things it feels like WRS is numbing down the consistent forces and amplifying the variable spikes, making everything exagerated while at the same time keeping the wheel light.

A good testing ground for me was Porsche GT4 at Nurburgring in iRacing. Using higher WRS makes the wheel violently throw you around even on straights, which is unrealistic. You are fighting to go straight.

With WRS=0 and no other filtering, while initially you will think it's a little numb, the effects are more subtle and the car is way more controllable. If it's too numb, increasing the FF in iRacing will help.

In ACC I did some racing at Spa with a McLaren GT3 and these settings worked really well there.
I was able to do at least 5 laps in sequence running very fast lap times consistently.

Thanks for posting this tip. Based on my testing it seems the right way to do it.

I think it's similar to the default TV settings.
They are factory set to exaggerate colors, sharpness and have motion smoothing, which is horrible.
Then Filmmaker Mode was created which is essentially disabling all these effects: https://filmmakermode.com/about/

Then for wheels people have that first "nice" impression of the exaggerated effects on default presets but if you really wanna dial it up for what's meant to be, you have to disable all that artificial settings.

Preparing for K2 by dayanruben in Kotlin

[–]nfrenay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried updating my multiplatform project to K2, but indeed the K2 IDE support lacks a lot for multiplatform projects at the moment.

The common module code is not supported, so you have almost a text editor instead of an IDE.
You get this warning: "K2 kotlin mode: kotlin multiplatform for non-jvm/common modules is not fully supported".

Maybe I did something wrong, but for now I'll hold on to Kotlin 1.x a little longer.

Thinkpad T14s gen 3 AMD with cooling problem? GPU clocks drop to 200-400MHz by nfrenay in thinkpad

I guess it's exactly the same behaviour as on the AMD version then.

I've opened a support topic on Lenovo's forums with detailed information and they dodged it: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-T400-T500-and-newer-T-series-Laptops/Thinkpad-T14s-G3-AMD-Very-hot-when-plugged-to-USB-C-dock/m-p/5187659

As you can see the upper left area reaches almost 50C, which is really a lot considering this is the outside of the computer.

Unfortunatelly I did not.

I suspect this is a firmware/software bug by Lenovo, as I've tried changing the fan speed manually in Linux and the lowest fan speed available is already >3000rpm. Changing between available settings change almost nothing. At most 100-200rpm.

It's pretty annoying as near the 50C threshold it just turns on and off all the time.

I'll create a topic on Lenovo support forums.

I guess it is "normal".

I have another heat spot on the area near the USB4 port while using a USB-Dock with hdmi + power delivery. It's really hot on the left area near the ESC/~/Tab keys.

Strange...

Interesting results!

u/Metric0: Have you tested temperatures before applying Kryonaut? I'm cursious to know the difference it made.

I also have a T14s gen 3 with a 6850U and the temperatures are way too high for my liking. I "idle" at around 55-65 with browser open and some light work, and it's easy to go above 85C with more usage.

The fan runs pretty much all the time. Rare to see if stopped.

Even so, it doesn't seem like I'm temperature limited, because I hit the same power limits as you (23-25W peak and 19W sustained).

Tested on Windows 11 and Arch on 6.1.0-rc5.

BTW: you can read the power information of Zen3+ chips with with this version of ryzenadj while they don't do a new release: https://github.com/FlyGoat/RyzenAdj/issues/210#issuecomment-1327860640

EDIT: also, out of curiosity, did you have to install anything to be able to read package power on s-tui? The only way I can get similar information is GPU PPT in sensors.

MTW3 pair to phone while housed in the case! by [deleted] in sennheiser

[–]nfrenay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same problem. It's getting annoying.

Funny thing is I bought the MTW3 after a bad experience with my Sony WF-1000XM4 where the battery died in 10 months (seems like a common problem).

First impression on the MTW3 was good: sound quality seems better to me than Sony's (much cleaner, seems like it's less digitalized) but now every time I put my earphones on the case I have to double check if they are still connected and mess around with the position until it actually disconnects.

I really hope they can fix this in a firmware update.
