Rfactor2 The VR thread -settings & tips

With VR you should be in cockpit anyway so just using the dash is plenty for me and preferable as that's what the real cars have . If i was driving my 200SX with custom gauges well then it would make sense but since there is no 200SX's in rF2 it doesn't bother me at all ;)

Yes I hear what you're saying but I spent a cart load of cash on the peripherals so get a bit sad seeing them in the corner with the empty bank book. :( :oops:
:p

i7-7700k (5GHz), 1080GTX, VR (Rift)

Can someone help me with settings and optimization. The pics in the first page are still missing and i can only hold 90FPS right now if I run 1.0 PPD and the following settings:

Everything on low except:
16x anisotropic filtering
player detail: medium
HMD only
Windowed mode
10 cars displayed

I'm mostly testing at twilight using the GT3 pack cars on Road Atlanta. Forget about rain for now. That transition to night seems to really cause issues. Is this normal behavior or should I expect more?

Some 3rd party tracks are very unoptimised , best Test & set based on isi/397 dx11 content with official cars
No or low post process,
No AA ( or level 1 )
Track detail low
Shadows off or low ( med if you can)

Other settings med
Including textures med
Road reflection off
Rain low

Viewable cats max 12

See how you get on with this settings

Obviously you could go but higher if your completely rock solid with above settings , but be sure to keep some decent headroom

Send them here and I can give you occasional updates (with photos!) on how they're being used :cool:​

Yet another example of S397 pandering to the masses with non-sim stuff... :D

Cheeky monkey. :p
Viewable Cats!! is that a mod? Sign me up :D
 
I've just bought an oculus and think none of my sims look good. Probably not setup properly though.
rF2 looks better than AC to me but I'm blown away that they could charge so much for something that looks that poor.
Being in the car is nice but I expected more tbh.
Maybe in a few days time I might change my mind once I've learnt more about it.

New tech is always massively overpriced, prices drop when that tech becomes more mainstream with a wider variety of manufacturers, I mean I paid £200 for a 64MB mp3 player when they first came out...now I can get a 32GB one for next to nothing!

As for personal choice well VR is worse visually than a monitor, but for me it's the immersion that overrides the poor visuals and that immersion cannot be beaten for me :)

I have had the rift for about 9 months. Mine just broke and is likely going back to oculus for repair. I tried to go back to 2D racing and I simply cant. I had a triple monitor setup prior to the rift and ended up giving one of the monitors to my nephew... so now I have a single 22 inch monitor. It's not enough.

You will be shocked at how quickly you adapt to the lower resolution and become dependant on the 3D vision.

Yeah it's almost like dont go VR because it just ruins anything thats not VR , lol its pretty awesome and the lower res is only an issue if you let it .
I tried AMS for the first time is ages and as good as it felt and to be honest, looked, I just simply couldnt enjoy it without my HMD on !
 
The more I drive the more I like it. I was running in 4k on a 43" Sony so you can imagine the shock of the lower quality.
My main reason for buying an oculus is for the spacial awareness. I don't have room for 3 screens so opted for VR.
Your right about getting used to it quickly once you start concentrating on the driving.
Thanks for the replies.

One week of use and you will be past the point of return to screens. So be aware....;):)

I just dropped mine last night - after several drops, this is the one that broke it. Tried a race with my monitors, and am going out to purchase a new rift the minute the stores open today.

I don't have that kind of coin, so I have to wait for mine to be fixed. I have been working with Oculus on how best to do that. Hopefully, it will be resolved quickly.

Hi everyone..... I hope this can serve someone. Finally I was able to solve the problems of stuttering that afflicted me since the last update v1110. I simply deactivated the custom hud I used through the workshop, as soon as it was removed, everything went back to the solid 90fps.

My spec:
i7-4790k
32GB ddr3
GTX 1080 8GB
SSD

All video settings are to low with my Oculus rift :)
 
I had to quit using VR with rF2 when I got my OSW a couple months ago. Since the wheel rotation changes with each car, when using SimuCUBE I have to alt+tab out each time I change cars to change the wheel rotation. I hope that gets fixed soon so it will work like my G27 did.
 
Does anyone know how to stop the rain from coming through the cockpit in VR? Also looking to reduce the brightness as it's really too bright in my CV1.
