My first timed lap with the Cadillac @ Motegi:

Jan Roman · Apr 24, 2012

I found Motegi to be very difficult. At the moment, I think it will require a lot of drift braking and brake hitting in mid-corner. The C6.R is almost dying in 2nd gear during the slowest corners and the turning radius is too big for this track I think. The setup will be crucial at Twin Ring, I will have to live with more oversteer overall to compensate the understeer as much as possible. Corners in Montegi are simply a bit tight for Corvette I think.

lap around Okayama, just trying to stay alive basically.

Twin Ring Motegi with Corvette:

Is there a way to increse the FPS while uploading to Youtube? The original video seems to have much higher FPS than the uploaded one.

Hampus Andersson · Apr 25, 2012

Youtube only does 30fps Jan.

So the best way is to lock FRAPS at either 60 or 30fps.

Jan Roman · Apr 25, 2012

All right, so I suppose locking it at 30 FPS will reduce the stutter? The original video is beautifully smooth, but with variable FPS I think.

Not sure, lock it and see if it´s better.
At the end of the day it will only be 30 frames per second on youtube

Here's a video i made of a race i was in earlier tonight. Im still trying to figure out how to get rid of the white wash on the monitors. I'm using a Kodak Z8 Camera. I have a GoProHD that i was using for some videos but that camera sucks for recording a monitor.

Short battle at Road America. Just close your eyes and listen to the 4th gear pull on the back straight

Lovet that sound

And can only get better from here on.

Nice battle Hampus. Yesterday I entered my first practice with Corvette and I have to tell I missed it so much. Since I have troubles with my PC (and I have to play on a slow laptop), I can't enter practices very often in order no to make problems, but I am looking forward to racing again so much!

I don't know how you managed to get that video so smooth. When I record my videos with FRAPS, I usually get around 50-60 FPS. Since you told me that Youtube is locked at 30 FPS, I locked my Fraps at 30 FPS and tried to record a footage. It doesn't seem even nearly as smooth as yours, even though there are no FPS drops, stable 30 FPS. Is there trick of some kind?

I experience a stutter from time to time, but that was probably caused by a slow HDD creating a new file (today, a new version of Fraps was released and it makes almost infinitely large files now). Maybe a faster computer would help, but since I locked it to 30 FPS, I'm not so sure.

EDIT: Now something hit me... would it be better with V-Sync enabled? At lesat it should reduce the stuttering.

Hampus Andersson · Apr 29, 2012

I have my FRAPS locked to 30 fps.

I don´t run V-sync either, it will look choppy in iracing because the game is so sensitive to fps but on youtube it will be smooth.

Do you render it or do you put up the whole file to youtube?

Well, I put it into VirtualDub and Export it in XviD. My video above is 5:00 and it is around 250MB. I have no experience in this area though, could you share your Export settings please? It doesn't matter what you use, I will adapt my settings or programs properly. I was thinking about using Sony Vegas instead, but since I don't need any advanced editing right now, I use very simple (but powerful) VirtualDub.

1920x1080 30 fps 6000mbt bitrate i think.

new battle. At Oulton, car feels insanely quick here

Hampus Andersson · May 1, 2012

Pulled off an overtake that was a notch to extreme. Check out the gap (or lack off) between me and the car in the middle.

Jan Roman · May 1, 2012

This. Is. Sick.

Great one Hampus, this is why I drive simulators, because of these amazing moments.

Nathan Robinson · May 2, 2012

I know we have some talented video editors here, is anyone thinking about doing one for the iracing competition? I may give it a shot even though my skills are lacking compared with some of you, it could be fun nonetheless
