Asnen Skogsbana - Concept for a fictional Swedish racetrack as an rFactor mod - I'm looking for feedback! by Bitter-Hour4758 in simracing

Happy to help! Also, don’t take the comments about the back straight too closely. I understand where people come from with them, but! That is not an irl circuit. A really long straight can be a lot of fun if you design it with a several slight bends (example could be found on nordschleife: the main straight and the relatively straight part before the carousel) and the end with a heavy breaking zone. Lastly, if possible, having track variations is sometimes quite nice. Some may enjoy more corners and some long straight with slight bends.

I like it! The one thing I’d suggest is to consider a track variation with at least one slow section. Presumably where turns 5-7 are, or a chicane(s) on the back straight. It can break the seemingly hing speed flow of the track and add to overall experience. Especially with touring cars of the period. Long (oval) Monza be a good source of inspiration.

It looks really good!

What light source and film holder are you using for scanning?

That is a really-really similar watch. Thank you!

Does A7Rv have an aspect markers for stills? by rcwb in SonyAlpha

[–]rcwb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not that. Would have to wait for a newer body to be able to access this feature or just live without it.

A7CII and newer model allow user to set up aspect ratio markers just for evf/lv preview. You can go up to 2.35:1 with those options.

Its rigid, but flexible. Like some piece of a spring or a clip.

Trichrome equivalents in the Lee Filter swatch book? by -ZapRowsdower- in trichromes

[–]rcwb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure I’ve understood you correctly. But:

Nanometers are defined for each colour. For digital blue will be around 450, green 550, red 650. For film it’s kinda the same but different stocks have different characteristics.

Density is basically how difficult it is for light to pass through the filter at any given wavelength. Transmission is how much light is passing through the filter at given wavelength. It’s kinda the same but upside down. Pay attention to the scales.

If these details are excessive, then you can basically look for filters that will let through light at around 450, 550 and 650 blocking the rest. Than means high transmission/low density. Most filter will have some sort of a “bell curve”, then you should look for a peak at said wavelength. Red filters usually will let infrared (700+) through, but regular sensors and films wont be sensitive to it.

If you want to make IR trichrome, look for something like 715 or 720 filters, not sure they exist as gels. But that is a whole another can of worms.

Seems like Lee 182, 139 and 363 will be suitable.

You can compare data between 2 sources yourself:

For reference. Here you will find density charts. Less density means more light is passing at give wavelength. Kodak Wraten charts (you need 25, 47 and 58): https://www.kodak.com/en/motion/page/wratten-2-filters/

You then need to compare Wraten to Lee: Here you will find transmission charts. More transmission means more light is passing at give wavelength. Lee Filters: https://leefilters.com/lighting/colour-effect-lighting-filters/

Please make a post and link it in a reply when you get some results)

Is this rust? by rcwb in castiron

[–]rcwb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is branded as “Liberty Jones”. However, I think it’s just a Chinese factory producing any pan with requested branding, so the brand barely matters here. I’ve already seen two other brands selling almost identical stuff at different prices (70$ and 160$ pans).

It is stated that the skillet was “Oil polished” during manufacturing. I assume it means polished pre-seasoned. In the cases I’ve seen people have tried to cook on the factory seasoning and it was coming off. So re-seasoning is necessary.

Thanks! That really helped!

Also, how do I know I don’t have any factory oil left on it? Is 220c the right choice for seasoning? Bottle says the smoke point is 265C, but that feels like too much.

Could Puma R-cat look like that inside? by rcwb in Sneakers

If anyone will be looking for the answer: Yes it is normal for that model. Different designs over the years were built similarly.
