My God, was that a parody video, or is that how much movement is typical? It looked to me like that the guy was riding a bull at the rodeo....
YES haha
I have a VR headset, motion seat, Fanatec pedals, great steering wheel. Four point belts. Everything. Love them all. Know what I can't live without???
My Buttkicker 2. When I drive without it (even with the motion seat), it feels like a game. But with the 'kicker, it's next level. When the RPMs go up, I feel it. When I shift up or down, I feel the BANG. Rumble strips reverb through the seat. It's magic. Can't race without it. Best couple hundred bucks I've spent on sim racing.
Oh Man I remember holding that GP2 box in hand at the store and wishing for a PC back then. Then I got both and spent alot of the time in the bathroom reading the huge manual
I have pretty good rig. Game changer was HTC VIVE. It ended years longin seeking for perfect FOV. Every racing/driving sim/game I had to have correct FOV, which was allways wrong by default, because I liked very low FOV to see it working realisticly. I had to adjust FOV by mods or .inis and that was hell. I used FOV calculators, and even magnifying lenses, loops and narrowing lenses to have that correct feeling to drive a car. I did get close that feeling with lenses, like dentist binoculars or something like that (close range binoculars, like 1m). It gave me perfect feeling to look in distance, when driving a car. It was unbelievible feeling.
When that feeling was there, there was another problem, FOV ironicly. When view was ralistic with lenses and calculated fov, I couldn't see very widely.
VR was the answer. It's not perfect to wide view or to feeling looking to distance, but it ended my years longin adjustments, and gave me 3d vision, which feels natural.
a. HTC VIVE
First. I'm glad to hear that audio is important to you. HTC VIVE uses Steam VR interface. You can use any audio output you like, it is selectable in menu. You can select which audio output is on when VR is on, and you can select which takes over when VR is off. When you have selected these settings, it's working automatically.Here's a dumb question from a noob...
If I ever have VR, how do I use my Sennheiser PC360 headset? ....Would I have to use my desktop speakers? That won't cut it, as the Boss is in here using her computer a lot of the time... So, could I use earbuds?
Every purchase from Extreme Competition Controls. Started with my first wheel/pedal in 1995 and still driving with my Trackstar 7000. All products are all metal and built like a tank.
Software, - the day I decided to buy that "ugly looking game", RF2.. and understood you can feel connected to the road.
(close second being AMS2, the only other game that comes close to RF2 for me)
Hardware, my Vive VR. Once you go VR, you never go back.. maybe triple screens after VR, but VR is the best purchase yet.
