By the way, iRacing uses horizontal FOV (H.FOV) not vertical (V.FOV), so in that calculator just use pCars for your iRacing FOV.

179 H.FOV w/ triple 27" 16:9 monitors means that your eyes are about 20.5" from the centre monitor. When I convert those measurements to V.FOV (rF2, GSC, AC, etc.) I get 36 degrees for your V.FOV games.

^ that is my setup. Thanks again. I think I was using 45 which seemed a bit off.

Now another question. Just tried the 997 Cup car (looks great!) and played around with the in game FFB slider but I still must be clipping a lot as once a certain point is reached mid-corner, it just feels the same. Is there a FFB setup you recommend for the Cup cars? Is there somehow to get FFB clipping meter in GSC?

 

[Spinelli]

I would research this, there a million ways to edit the FFB from the FFB section in the controller INI file and in the Real Feel settings

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

Did you try the Ffb settings I put in the mod?

Try to reduce strenght first.

I did put the realfeel settings in you included. I reduced the in game FFB to 60% on Medium and feels much better. Still a bit uncommunicative at the limit with my CSW V2. Really wish there was a FFB Clipping meter for GSCE...I have no idea how there is not.

I noticed that game stock car mirrors are killing my fps. If i play a custom mod (like f1asr 92 or gt3), i can put a custom low res mirror.bmp in the mod´s vehicle folder and solve the issue... but, since version 1.20, the mirror.bmp trick doesn´t work anymore, due to the encrypt method that Reiza made to their cars and tracks, maybe to protect copyright. Then, since 1.20v, i´ve to disable mirrors to get 60 fps; otherwise, with mirrors enabled, it drops to 35 - 50 fps, what is an annoying issue.

Anyone knows how to put a low res mirror or something else that solve this awful issue?

What is your PC spec that you are running on? It would seem that you have a very low spec PC.
Also include what your video settings are set to in game.

My notebook is a i5 -2520M 2.5Ghz Sandy Bridge, 4gb ddr3, Nvidia Gt540m 1gb ram.
I set resolution on 1600x900 32bits and all display settings on High, except Shadows (medium) and Motion Blur (off). My notebook runs smoothly on High Graphic Setting games that are a lot more "heavier" to CPU and Video card than GSCE, like F1 2013, Max Payne 3 and others. Don´t forget that my problem only occurs when mirrors are on; when i toogle it off or when i can put a lower res mirror (only with any custom mod), the problem is solved. In addiction, turning the display settings to Medium don´t solve my problem. I saw in other forums that more people has the same issue than mine. Please, if you know something that can solve this awful issue, tell me, ´cause its very annoying to play this beatifull game without mirrors on.

Maybe try it at 16bit & medium settings. No shadows & blur off.

Why opening c/ gsc2013/ user data/ there is only controller and there isn't my name. Can you help me?

 

[Jan Mikuž]

Did you create a profile in game ?

yes

 

[Jan Mikuž]

Sorry, i have no clue. Maybe try running GSCsync from the root installation and see if it downloads any missing files. Or it may be the profile name consists of ''weird'' characters...just a guess.
I'm really not familiar enough with this side of the software to know what may be causing this.

Hi
I'm trying to figure out how to change the sounds in Formula Extreme.
If you take a look in the vehicle ini files (e.g. Vehicles\F_Extreme\Banbury FR Team)
The all refers to use: Sounds=F_Extreme.sfx
However there is no F_Extreme.sfx ?

In short terms I then tried to copy a .sfx file from a mod (GPTeam_1998), renamed it to F_Extreme.sfx and pasted the sound libraries into \GameData\Sounds\F_Extreme.

Nothing has changed in the sound - it's not even missing the old one.
How to do stuff like this (help please ) or find info about it?
(Edit) Especially the revs max. sound is awful (sorry) in the original sound.
Alternatively, how can I change/add a "limiter_in" file or similar for the F-Extreme?

Cheers

 

[Chris Hansen]

Hi
(Cut)
However there is no F_Extreme.sfx ?

(Cut)
Cheers

Actually there are no .sfx files at all!?
Only the default.sfx, that refers to a folder called "default" which also not exist.
How to define sound files at all then?

Regards
Chris

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

You have to change the sfx file name in the veh

rfdynhud no longer working for me with my setup after the update to v1.25. Anyone knows how to resolve this? Still have trackmapplugin pointing to the d3d9.dll (ie. d3d9_rfdynhud.dll).

EDIT: working now, required a reinstall.

 

[Mitch Bird]

Hi is there eny way to change the time of day in the dedicated server for the practise session.
Thnx.

 

[Patrick Giranthon]

You have to change the .gdb . But everybody needs the same gdb or you will have mismatch.

Hello, I can't seem to find how to add my own team and have it appear properly in the game. For example, creating an additional Stock Car team, or even creating my own Stock Car series (basically, a league thing) taking the 2014 as a base. Copying the folder - V8_2014 - and changing the name, then trying to change .veh stuff didn't work.

Can someone assist me?
