Here are your settings mate... Ok file too large, but in edit assignment all the way down there is keys for triple screen camera edits.. this will tilt your view
Just check that settings name in game , its called "shift display up/down" that is for when your eyes dont line up with the center of the screen and it basically shifts the whole picture up . If i use that i get a bent image because it thinks my eyes dont line up correctly with my displays . I need to tilt the image , not shift it to my eye level , my eyes are already aligned to the center of my screen .
Just give us triple users seat tilt and i will be able to play again ! After all this is a Sim , we should have the sim options ;)

And why not DX12? Didn't ACC show some performance boost in DX12 mode?
My experience with recent titles supporting both renderer is that DX12 has visual and performance edge.

Try it, to me it looks more like a tilt than up and down but I could be wrong

I believe the DX12 performance improvements in ACC are because some of the shaders/processes are not supported by DX12 and so you are effectively disabling some options.

I think the graphics in R3E are pretty good and with an I5-9600K and 1080Ti performance is very good on my Index (forcing reprojection and using 40/80 FPS). Having said that any improvements would be nice but I'd be more keen on more detail in the road meshes rather than anything else. I think R3E FFB matches up to any other sim but most tracks have fairly lifeless smooth surfaces. AMS1 and AMS2 show that you don't need laser scanning to have characterful track surfaces
 
Every game I have that has Vulcan as an option runs better than it does with DX 11/12. Whether it could be shoe-horned into the current R3E engine is a different matter though.
it would be new engine , so unlikely, but you could port/update R3E assets into new engine

but yeha, to really take advantage of new eingine, assets should be done differently, such as using small detail maps, rather then bigger textures, so it's probably not viable for sector3 to do this
 
To be perfectly honest, despite what S3 have bandied about in the past, I think the only realistic option for this kind of overhaul is R3E 2. I just can't see them trying to port everything into a new engine, with all the incompatibilities and other issues that would bring. Better to just start from scratch and play to the engine's individual methods and strengths.
