The wait is over. Need help from the iracing gods on the beeb..

One of the guys on the PRL forum will post up a highlight reel of the race.

 

We're moving this weekend or I'd give a go at doing an edit up. Seems like it will be pretty tough but we'll see. I won't be at the next race. Heading to Vegas as Pops is having surgery.

 

Any of you guys racing Petit Le Mans next weekend?

 

Good luck with pops.

 

Thanks brother! Pinched nerve in neck so they need to put a bracket on it to relieve the pressure. One of those big but not major surgeries.

 

I was thinking about doing 2 2nd race in the Merc. Big problem is that I suck @ Road Atlanta.

 

One of my favorite tracks.

 

I've raced there several times liked it a lot better before they put the chicane in. I'm not good at blind corners.
Had iRacing not added IR to special events, I would run it solo .

 

Mine as well even though it is the complete opposite of the type of tracks that I prefer to race on. Went over some telemetry with Overbay and Kenny the other night and saw some errors in my driving style along with a huge error in my braking style. Trying to re-learn how to brake is.....interesting.

 

Ok, I got a Samsung Odyssey VR headset and it is awesome. I do have one question, does anyone else with a VR rig get nauseous when driving? I can play for a long time in games that I can stand and move, but driving just messes with me. Anything any of you have done to overcome this?

 

Dramamine...

Also once you start to feel sick stop...don't try to push through it. According to all the guys you will adjust over time.

 

That is good to hear. In all honesty I only started to really feel queasy when I flipped a sprint car a couple of times. Now I’m looking at building a damn seat rig. Ha.

 

You have to pace yourself.

I had the same problem when I first started in VR. I would run for about 15 minutes, take a half hour break. Run another 15-20 minutes and take another break. Eventually your body will adjust. I've run triple stints in an endurance race (almost 3 hours) in VR without any issues.

 

Good to hear. Man, it brings a whole new dimension to Iracing. I ended up getting the Samsung on a whim. It was used twice and only cost me $240. I am glad I got it.

 

Yup, dramamine, and close your eyes when you're crashing and tumbling. That still gets me.

Couple things about this. 1. If you increase SS and it crashes the program, odds are you will need to upgrade the power supply. 2. It taxes both the GPU and the CPU in iRacing. Not sure what hardware you are running. It helps with clarity and screen door effect.

 

I have a Ryzen 5 1600x, a GTX 1080, and 16gb system ram. It isn’t a hardware issue. Iracing runs at over 120fps on my 4K monitor fully maxed. I’ll check into the super sampling deal though. Thanks.

 

Ha, I just read that article and it specifically mentioned the set I have. It already has the highest resolution of the sets, so super sampling may not do much. Ha.

 

It will still help, a lot.

 

Tried it last night, Didn't really notice much of an improvement. I am noticing that I do not feel nauseous as bad now though. I guess I just needed to get used to the whole VR thing. I can say it is awesome though. So much easier to race in traffic when you know exactly where the cars around you are.
