This is what my laps should have looked like, had I not been a noob and binned it in the 1st sector

@Cluck is that the same FOV as on a flat screen? The sense of speed is so much bigger than with my settings...

Big improvement Cluck!

Yay TT challenge

The last sector isn't perfect but the first two were really good. 8:04.941

The monitor output always looks different to the view you get in the rift

Cheers @Cluck . Way OT here...but what do you see in the rift when you just look forward? Is the left side mirror and rear view mirror completely visible for you? Did you adjust the seat position? According to FOV calculators I should set mine to 50 with my setup, but that just feels wrong. Cannot even see the dashboard then, and the immersion is far away from sensational, so I was running 70-ish up to now.

 

[Cluck]

I run whatever the game sets it up as. I've never adjusted anything . As for what I see, I'll be honest, I'm not really looking so I'll try and make a mental note next time

Just took 1.3s off my previous time but was actually 2s up going into the Karussel. Still some way off Puff's time but I don't know if the Ferrari (or I, more importantly) have enough in the bag to beat his 8m04 lap. That is simply brilliant.

 

[Puffpirat]

Cheers for bringing that community challenge up, so awesome

@Shepard I guess it’s best described as what you would see in your or any car with a helmet on. The lenses take a bit of the viewing field away, but it’s where your vision gets fuzzy without focusing there anyway.

When you look straight ahead you see all the way down to the steering wheel (bit further than as it looks in my video) and you can make out the left hand and central mirror. For the right one you need to turn your head. The rift video only takes the left eye, so you can see more to the right than what the video shows

You can try my highly suphisticated Ferrari setup for Nords. I'll upload it the next few days.

Pushing in a RSR TT Challenge on Combined Nordschleife to make the most out of the extensive preparation this event demanded sounds like a good idea.

 

[Cluck]

I'll happily look at your setup miagi

I just made a hash of the final sector in my latest run, otherwise I would have beaten Puff's time by a tenth. Had I not messed up a bunch of other corners, I would have been close to 8m03. I'm not finished yet

 

[Michael]

Thanks for your input @Cluck and @Puffpirat, I will fiddle with the settings to get what you described.

Since @Hujkis asked and I’m not really sure how to: is there an easy way to show throttle/brake input without running the telemetry HUD in pCARS? I’m recording my desktop with shadowplay as the game isn’t being picked up in VR somehow.

Shadowplay for me also record only Desktop mirror of VR.

I even tried to in Dirt Rally record Oculus display output, because monitor mirror has funny view angle, but there were no option (in OBS and Shadowplay).

 

[Puffpirat]

Nah I mean I know it can only pick up the mirror, but shadowplay isn’t even picking up the mirrored desktop window. I only have two options, windowed borderless or complete desktop recording.

Anyway back to my original question, input recording

I've moved all the Nords time-trial and Rift discussion posts from the 'Cold Day in Hell' thread to this new thread

When you have the speedometer on the HUD you can see throttle (green bar) and brake input (red bar). Don't know how its in VR though.

Unless a 3rd-party app will also show the output in the mirrored monitor display, it's not going to be possible without something that records the info and can overlay it post-recording.

 

[fab. ICEMAN]

I'm using something called Wheeler for my stream. That shows your steering input and the clutch/brake/throttle input, if that is what you're looking for. But works only in combination with OBS I guess. (Which is still pretty good for recording) @Puffpirat

@Cluck Is this PC2 community contest or RSR? Official TT settings or...?

All HUD elements regarding Throttle brake and wheel, are only useful for someone to watch stream, or video of driving. I don't see any advantage for driver from that. Or am I wrong?
I like nothing to have on my screen - pure immersion
