Post #878 shows this quite well.

Except being a complete performance hog... Seriously eats fps, but apparantly there is a workaround to alleviate this?(Somewhere on the Youtubes) I'd almost pay money for this to be "fixed", or if we could have the "helmet cam audio" optional in cockpit cam? Thing is, you can have the helmet cam, with the helmet option turned off, I'd like that WITH the "helmet" audio...(All bassy and muffled...)

 

I’m not a beta backer so can’t access that page. I’ll have a Google instead.

 

Which touches on something else I don’t get, I know my settings show helmet cam as on but it isn’t actually on - I’m not sure what I’ve turned off or left on.

I’m not doing myself any favours tonight regarding my technical abilities! I think I just in game and start driving a bit too much.

 

This one shows holes in different places and the visor doesn't even go all the way to the edges of triple screens. Some cars you can see the mirrors clipping right through the lower brim of the helmet.


This shows transparency issue with rain showing through the edge and the visor doesn't align at the edge either.

 

There is a cockpit cam and a helmet cam, just make sure you are on the helmet cam and that should now show up. Otherwise they look the same unless you have different FOV for each.

 

You mean to say, you're not seeing much of the helmet in VR? Because neither do I...
It's a FOV thing maybe? Likely a Pimax would reveal more.
But for me it's the audio side of it... I would be happy to just have that.
With the Rift S and chunky Sennheisers on, the helmet thing is pretty much already there.
Edit: Pay attention GearNazi, 2ndLastJedi already got it...

 

While everyone's touch on the issues are perfectly valid, I believe this release is one of the best (if not the best) so far!

Multiplayer, netcode-wise, is quite good at the moment, as long as the host has a decent internet connection.

Still, though, I've run into a random disconnect while qualifying in an SRS event today, so not quite there yet. Besides, major essential host features are nowhere to be seen.

 

That’s just horrible. I’m glad I hadn’t ever seen that before. Disappointing.

 

Just been trying out the Group A's which feel better with the changed COG. Couple of things though.

Still can't race these with a standing start (been this way since they appeared), as you can simply outrun the whole pack off the line, so always have to use rolling with these. Please fix!

Also, like the Procar these have a LSD, but you cannot adjust the numbers on these or the Procar, why is this?

 

All I really noticed was the, iirc, bottom of the helmet mostly - which then covered most of the instrumentation. I’ll have to give it another go because that was when I was using a Samsung Odyssey with built in earphones, now I’ve got the G2 and use Astro A50 headphones so may pick up far more of the audio subtleties.

 

I'd love to know what the reason is behind this. You don't have to use a rolling start - you can just take off in 3rd gear like I do

 

Agree, the second image is what has been here since pC2 days (same visor) and the first one is the new visor that seems to be completely misaligned and has holes at the top and bottom of the actual helmet.

It's sad because this has been reported and still let out to the public builds and really looks poor from a development pov.

The helmet audio is good but also a bit weird in that it muffles and amplifies at the same time. Opponents engine sounds are louder and we to resonate but are muffles somehow.

 

The beta forum has a topic for everything and many discussions per thread, still things get missed, overlooked or simply not high enough for the current timeline. I guess its a matter of "more time" is needed. Sadly that isn't something the community has a easy time dealing with. Things that seem easy to me and you, feel important but in the end its Reiza's dream and baby to do it how they see fit, we can offer our input but they will do it in a way that works for them.
Frustrating AF sometimes....but what can we do....just be patient, go drive AC road cars for a while and come back next update in the hope it was fixed

 

Perhaps their brazilian endurance championship?
