There's now a dedicated discussion channel for this series on the Live for Speed Discord server: #buggyra-zm-gt-cup: https://discord.gg/EZeqASS

Last day to register and set a hotlap for round 1: https://buggyra301.games/

I don't understand this. Your PC specs are more than capable of running LFS in VR flawlessly... It could just be that the Index just asks too much. Have you tried it with other games on your PC? Edit: I noticed you said you tried it with AC and it worked fine in 80Hz mode... Hmm...

@Scawen: Just FYI, with worse specs than Drifteris (GTX 1070, Ryzen 5 1600X), I have used the Valve Index with LFS and it ran just fine with a decent number of cars. That wasn't on the current round of test patches though. Edit again: It might have been on the current round of test patches actually...

Quote from Drifteris :

Using valve index it seems that only 80Hz option is stable and kinda keeps 80fps on LFS. 90Hz seems to drop to 45fps, 120hz to 60fps and 144hz to 72. Not sure why this half the frame things happen.

Also i'm not sure whether i've used 144hz monitor too much and now 80hz VR looks laggy or it's just not optimized as good. I do understand that physics run at 100fps but the game seems smoother on higher frames even if there is some sort of frames ghosting going on or not.

Super Sampling doesn't seem to change much aswell in my case so i just set it to 225%

There are a number of possible reasons that you only get stability at 80Hz. Your super sampling value is too high. Set it to 115% at the very most for best results in LFS. You're right that the LFS physics engine is out of sync with your headset so you will get some noticeable stutter when cornering. The halving of your perceived frame-rate is an effect called asynchronous time-warp (Oculus term), where frames are being interpolated every other frame to try and reduce any effects of cyber sickness.

Drop your super-sampling value and try again.

I'm in love with that.

Rest in Peace MVH!

Maybe don't post that here either...

While your ping is usually high Nova, it's also normally very stable. Problems arise from unstable pings. I've had terrible races with people with relatively low pings because their ping fluctuated a lot.

Sent you a PM.

That. Is. Dope.

I recently upgraded to the GT Omega PRO cockpit. I run a rift but you can probably see why I want to get on the Ultra-wide bandwagon (images attached).

This thread came at a good time. I'm also considering getting a 49" monitor because I would like the option to use a monitor setup from time to time, rather than having to use VR, even for casual racing sessions. I do not get on well with traditional multi-monotor setups, so I'm interested in trying an extra-wide. It's a big expense so I'm interested to get opinions from people who have used them. Rony, nacim, how do you get on with yours?

It's not overthinking, rather the vast majority of people overlooking these missing details. You raised some good points.

I actually forgot about Y being the other direction, fair point Dave. Maybe we need Z

Quote from racer autov8 :

Maybe someone suggested something similar already but here's an idea:
Have the extra items on X configurations and don't have them on Y configurations.

This.

The point of 0.5F2 is that the LX8 exists in this version already though, without needing to shoehorn it into a 'more stable patch'.

Probably the latter. The car is fairly unrefined but it's good to have a version of the game available with older layout versions, and the ability to use them online from time to time.

Sorted, thanks!

Still not working for me either.

Coincidentally, I also fancied trying the old Kyoto in 0.5F2 2 days ago and wasn't able to connect to the master server. I thought the master server had been turned off intentionally, so paid it no mind.

I wish you'd have hidden the UI (SHIFT+F) in that last video and sat a bit higher in the grandstand! Kinda funny though.

Quote from Flotch :

Wait for Fern Bay progress report

I was about to say. Plenty of rock faces there currently.

Quote from nikopdr :

you won, congratulations

I wish. Boxing day is always busy for me these days.

Did Kappowww win again?

Assumedly those objects only appear on open configurations.

Well then, anyone up for reenacting the multistorey car chase in Tomorrow never Dies when this gets released?

Looks like there's lots still to do but it looks promising!

Merry Christmas Rocky!
