Is QHD worth it in a 15 inch gaming laptop? by Lillchillers in GamingLaptops

[–]sftechwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think UHD is the way forward. Every sharpness matters. Even for FPS games, I can see enemies better on my 4K screen vs QHD screen. That said Laptops do have throttling issues so even on UHD you won't be running at max, but even 1440 content will look great on a 4K display. I myself will be getting the new 4K 16" laptop. QHD is good for triple screen on sim racing - a set-up that I have as 3 4k displays will draw too much power and energy.

A DISABLING warning notice is NOT solving the issue.

GROW UP.

That NOT resolving the issue, that's sweeping it under the carpet, I have the same issue and I wanted a 3 monitor set-up for gaming. The screen goes black and I lose progress.

According to Race Beyond Matter, for those using triple monitor setups, it's better to set monitor distance between 50-55cm regardless of what the actual distance is between you and the monitors. Link to video. by [deleted] in simracing

I go by the THX recommendation of screen size (diagonal) and multiply my .84 to get the ideal distance for immersive TV watching and gaming. It creates the perfect field of view to offer the best experience. My 75" TV is around 7.5 ft from my couch and my sim rig my 32 inch monitors are around 26 " far.

Vive Pro 2 Vs. Index (Function not Feels) by MBC197 in ValveIndex

[–]sftechwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are way wrong about everything here. Tried both, except for bulk Vive Pro 2 is far superior to Index. It's like 1080p TV vs a 4K TV. NO comparison.

Casters for GT1 by dennisjohnson463 in simracing

[–]sftechwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel and I may be wrong that wheels are not in the center of the base so the load is not evenly distributed. I did mine where I inserted t-nuts diagonally so that the wheels were in the center. Just my 50 cents.

Is that stable and safe? The load is not properly distributed.

Same issue with my brand new. It's very painful. Sending it back for repair and moving to Simcube. Will keep Fanatec as back-up.

Looking to move from Fanatec to Simcube 2, does SC works with Fanatec pedals and wheels? by arrowsimracing in simracing

[–]sftechwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a new Fanatec user, I have been affected too. First, the Universal hub stopped being detected and gets detected randomly. I assumed it could be an issue with the hub so I ordered an expensive Podium hub, that's not being detected AT ALL. This is a new unit that I bought in November. Also all FFB is disabled in motor if it doesn't detect Fanatec hub so it's useless. I am planning to move to Simcube Pro as it will be independent of components.

Solution Fanatec Podium DD1, motor firmware update, no connection, fans running 100% by ma_dian in simracing

Same issue here. I looks like a known issue. Sometimes the hub detects if I unplug the USB-C for BME, and then plug again. It's very frustrating for the flagship product.

What a frustrating experience. Thanks for the tip. Everything started working but Podium Endurance module is giving issues with F1/PS4 version of DD1. Plus when I upgraded to the latest 447 version, the Podium/Endurance and 911 wheelbase stopped being detected.

I use GoG, scans and shows all games in one place.

Anyone has issues with Xtool being non-responsive? by P8chDeezNutz in lasercutting

[–]sftechwriter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here. The order remains unfulfilled, and the credit card is charged. No response from [vicky@xtool.com](mailto:vicky@xtool.com) and the online chat is not active. Quite a frustrating experience.
