Wow South City by night is b*d*ss!

I do like it a lot!

Well the global experience is very impressive in 90Hz. No dizziness whatsoever (but I am not prone to it). I can play long session. I can run "fast" (Compared to me which is not impressive) the feeling is so great sideways (I had some quick pb on rallycross blackwood) ! Looking in the cockpit is awesome except in old stuff like Rb4 where it is horrible. I mean you really notice the radio texture...
Pixels can be noticed although it feels like no big deal. Looking far away or at the apex is smooth enough. There are some texture like wall or fence that don't feel right with some moiré. No screen door effect.
On the bad side I can't run it with the latest Nvidia drivers as there is some snafu with msi laptops. I tried to play 120Hz but could not.
As I don't have time to mess around too much, I well send it back, and wait. I might take it again later or take a cheaper 90Hz or wait more.

Edit: valve support told me that 100Hz is a hardware issue. I can't verify that but that could be true.

I really believe it is a software issue. There are ways to setup the vr differently but I failed miserably.
To run at 90Hz I have cheaper option. Resolution is great though.
Rb4 interior is damn ugly. Can't wait for the big update!

I have played more and at the end I have found how to set it a 120Hz... But there is no 100Hz preset.

Hello, I might be late but you can input /vr reset to ctrl+f8 (for example) and assign a button to it.

I have just tried on a valve index. I feel that there is an fps cap at 90Hz.i don't know how to unleash 100fps... As the index is 120Hz capable.

May be I don't have to map F8 but something like /vrreset but I don't know the syntax...

OK I can bind /vr reset to a button by using ctrl fx function...

Space can be directly mapped to a button easy.

I have just setup a Valve Index and drove 3 laps.
That is insane! I am impressed.

Anyway I am feeling lfs is capping it at 90fps. The index is 120Hz capable. What to do to set it at 100Hz? Currently I think it is sad as it was my buying trigger.


The menu are usually workable but sometimes tricky. May be a support for the valve/vive controller would be a plus to select by moving hand and not the head. I need more time to evaluate to be honest.

As a side note latest Nvidia driver plus msi laptop are currently crashing after 10 to 20s... I had to revert an older driver. Problem with sound are expected with these driver. It is a shame. This is not lfs related.

Hi there,
How can I map F8 (and space) to a button?
It might even be interesting to map a button to switch from 2D to 3D and vice versa.
I am noob at vr with 3 laps... So it might be stupid question.

I wish you the best! I hope you manage to fill it up. Good advertising will be the key!

OK quick test here, stable as usual.
FFB feels much better crispier and more detailed at low force and high force setting. I usually run at 20 or 25% in LFS to avoid breacking my wrists...
My wheel is custom with simucube not yet patched to the latest software by granite it stills run MMOS and shows, hardware is MIge 10015 with encoder 2500/rotation (I have gear to change to 5000):
MMos ForceFeedback2014 I went to 100Hz 10000 directly.

So far so very good.

Edit: Are some kerbs very different in Blackwood? Some inner kerbs are feeling ultra smooth maybe too much like the inner on the last right corner of BL1. On other I really feel all the little steps!

But we don't need it for lfs. 100Hz is the lfs grail.

I have been reading that the index works at 90Hz or 120Hz.I really hope it does 100Hz to sync perfectly with lfs!

I have been to lfspro.net makes me want to puke.

Keep up. You are doing well!

Great! Thanks

Hi there,

I try to setup my screen with fps info and no lfs logo. I am currently double failing at this. Not sure what to tick or untick. Every move without successes so far...

Great you nailed it on the joystick look! Thanks!

It is about 3 years withoit a working so maybe some stuff has moved...
With inside view I see a screen like a 2 screen configuration, left screen. I see half of my car and my viewing axis is 22.5° twisted. Outside view is centered. I don't like to use outside view... I have only a HD1080 monitor, no hdmi plugged.
Other than that I can get to calibrate properly my old fanatec pedals without manually setting them. I remember some auto settings working well in the past...

It works and it is nice!

Nice improvement!

Quote from MagicFr :

Just tried LFS in VR.
Instant Motion sickness. Can't even drive 1 lap.
A simple option would solved this instantly.
Lock To horizon option ( like Assetto Corsa )
Having the camera transform in the world coordinate instead of car coordinate will solve this problem.
Here a little article I wrote explaining where motion sickness come from in Sim racing, It's not only in VR. It's happens when the view is fully immersed in the game, so happens also with big screens.

Off-topic. Hey Magic you may want to correct a typo on your website. Engineer not enginior or maybe if you to make some joke like in "la folie des grandeurs"- "il est l'or monseignor"

Thanks for the feedback! Well I run a 1080 + decent cpu. So I guess it is ok for pimax 8k but maybe only for lfs...

Side question what hardware do you run and how many fps in lfs? The 8k looks crazy on the paper (except for the lower refresh rate) and the 5k not bad either.
