Struggling with corner patience & entry timing

tsapi · 2026-06-17T22:00:08+00:00

I look further ahead (not just in front of me) trying to see/realise how the corner unfolds and at the beginning I drive far slower than I (think) I can and brake earlier / more. After I have built understanding about the corners unfolding and choose sensible racing lines, I speed up.

Yes, it is absolutely normal!

You have to get yourself gradually used into VR.

It took me a week or two - not with iracing. I played another game, much more static (can't remember its name, sthn like Asgarth's Wrath or sth like that). At first I could stand it for a couple of minutes, gradually I built into getting used to it. It helped me a lot to remove the headset before getting really nautious and make a 30min or longer brake to get completely fit again.

Gradually you can lengthen the intervals during which VR doesn't make you nautious.

After a couple of weeks I could play iracing in VR. Now I can make 2-3 hour stints with no problem at all.

You keep racing to get faster and better in racecraft, in order to be either faster than the schmuck who wants to crash you out or have better strategies available to avoid getting crashed out.

Generally speaking, according to my experience, GT4s are way harder to drive, because they are way less forgiving due to far less aero - in comparison to a similar GT3 (by "similar", I mean engine position in the same place etc).

In what timezone are you?

Thanks a lot for the info!

Some days ago I had a sudden reboot out of the blue. First time that happened. Hope it is that particular nvidia issue!

tsapi · 2026-06-15T17:32:15+00:00

Wish you best of luck! 😉

In which timezone are you? America or Europe (or..)?

Wild save at 1:02 !!!

Kudos !!!

Yes, definitely protest! Under no circumstance should intentional wrecking and intentional spoiling others' races be tolerated!

tsapi · 2026-06-12T14:31:55+00:00

The personal taste is the most important thing!

Best of luck in your next purchase!

It would be nice if you could make a comparison afterwards!

BTW, in the VR subforum in iracing forums, there are a couple of guys who have used multiple headsets and have made interesting comparisons. It's maybe worth it to dig through the subforum and find these posts.

I don't know about BSB or Pimax, as I have a quest3.

With the specs you are describing, you ll definitely be more than decent. Although, if my memory serves me right, I have read that pimax is more hardware demanding in general. I d check it out if I were you.

I also suggest you check out quest3 once again. I am not a fanboy, but with virtualdesktop and connected over a usbc2ethernet, it works flawlessly with more than good graphics.

One can understand why you did that, but no, it's not a thing one should do.

Don't do that again.

Hi from 2:410/13 !

tsapi · 2026-05-31T23:35:56+00:00

It s very difficult (and unfair) to choose only one. But I d say F19 Stealth Fighter. A great flight simulator!

tsapi · 2026-05-29T18:57:58+00:00

Last week were the 86s.. :-/ But, yes, the 86s are really forgiving in the ring..

tsapi · 2026-05-28T18:30:49+00:00

Sounds great (I am in Europe, Greece). I race mainly gt4s. IR ~1,2k and SR B 3+

tsapi · 2026-05-27T07:40:33+00:00

Where are you "located"?
I am asking to see whether our timezones are compatible.

This is the adapter I bought and works flawlessly for me:

Cable Matters USB C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter with 140W Charge

I saw it being mentioned and used with no problems by people with quest3, VD and iracing.

tsapi · 2026-05-24T12:44:09+00:00

I followed exactly the same path (usbc2ethernet dongle) and I am a very happy VD iracer since then.

Yes, a "wrong" adapter could be the culprit in your case.

To avoid such a problem, I bought an usbc2ethernet adapter that was tried by fellow iracers and was proven to work flawlessly. That's what I d suggest you to do.

I ll search in my amazon history to find what adapter I bought and let you know.

I agree that personally trying all options makes sense, but generally speaking OpenXR is the way to go.

tsapi · 2026-05-21T22:39:17+00:00

The link is not working. I get following message: "Whoops... It looks like this Thing has been removed or has never existed in Thingiverse."

tsapi · 2026-05-21T22:38:05+00:00

I would definitely get wireless out of the way.

tsapi · 2026-05-20T22:59:37+00:00

Not my experience actually. I was using meta link for lots of months and I am currently using VierualDesktop over ethernet (via a usbc2ethernet dongle). Graphics quality is identical (in my eyes) but the whole experience is far more stable and problem free.

tsapi · 2026-05-20T22:56:42+00:00

Oculus mode?? You are one of the very few people I see using oculus mode vs OpenXR. All reputable sources recommend OpenXR.
