    Sparks are still broken for everyone in VR

    What the difference between camera near clip plane 0.01 and 0.1?
    What the difference between full and chroma sun flare?

    Near clip plane changes how close you have to be to a 3D object for you to start clipping into it. It's best you leave it at 0.01.

    Sun flare I recommend you try out each setting and see what you like. It's this thing.

    Full means you get the full effect. Chroma you only get the lens flare and chromatic aberration I believe, no sun rays or sun disc. Minimal and subtle take out some of the elements each.

    Personally I'd say to turn it off as sun flare is a visual artifact of cameras, not human eyes. But I recommend you try each setting and see what you like.

    Tip: set interior and exterior to different settings if you want to see the differences easily. Just switch between cockpit and chase camera in-game and look at the sun, you'll easily see the difference between each setting.

    Does anybody know if hiddenMeshVerticalScale setting of OpenComposite works with Pimax Crystal in AMS2?

    Anyone else having problems with the side mirrors in VR?
    I first noticed this when they introduced the vintage F-JR. The side mirrors on that car are all messed up, at the time other car classes worked well.

    Now i am noticing this with about every car i try and drive. The right mirror is all out of wack and can not get it lined up.

    I tried that a couple months ago with the Fjr and could not get the right one in place. I have not tried again recently so i'll give it another shot.

    Although many cars have wonky mirrors in VR, I've never had a problem (eventually) getting the mirrors right.

    But for some you need some extreme values, like +- 50 horizontal tilt.

    Hey everyone, ive noticed that on the Quest 3 the pit crew only appear when you're right on top of them and they pretty much invisible woth just the wheels and stop sign floating by themselves until you're 10 meters away. Then they suddenly render...has anyone else experienced this and is there a work around?

    I had this with the 1.5 upgrade a while back.
    Wild guess, you are using steam vr ? Try to recenter in SteamVR AND ingame in the pitlane/on track. Next go in cockpit config, click reset and adjust seating and mirrors. That should line up your view with the seating location etc. It happens sometime with HMD's that use basestations for tracking. Mine got crazy from the EMI the CSL DD produces... The Reverb G2 never had this issue (for me).

    I am using the Quest 3 through the link cable so no SteamVR or basestations. That is still a interesting bit of information about the EMI though.

    I will still go through the process you mentioned but on the oculus side of things and see if it helps, thanks

    I don't know much about the Quest and how it works regarding location inside your playspace and what if seated etc. It being an inside-out HMD with camera's, EMI shouldn't interfere ( :cool: ) with optical tracking. So, your orientation should never change once set in the software afaik.

    Did you have another HMD before the Q3 ? how did it compare ? I'm still searching for the ultimate HMD for racing/flying without paying thousands of $/€ :rolleyes:
    (nvm just read a few posts back you had a Quest 2 ;))

    For those interested, the ferrite core rings can be bought online for 10-15$ and it REALLY works VERY well.

    Yeah, its ok. Not worth the upgrade from q2. I will refund this probably. The increase in FoV is noticeable and nice, the sweetspot is much larger for clarity but not many people talk about the sweetspot for optimal colors. If its not set on your face just right, you lose a lot of brightness.

    I need a pure PCVR headset that uses DP instead of USB. Battery life sucks, so yeah not really happy with the cost vs what i had b4. I just got the q3 very recently so i think i can return it

    If I may provide advice

    I started BR with a 2nd Q2 like 18months ago
    It was ok but I dislike the graphical artefact or compression due to Link and this was after hours of tweaking and with a decent rtx3080 GPU

    i looked around and decided to try a pico neo3 link headset
    Video through DP port and same resolution than the Q2
    It completely blew the meta device out of the water
    Bought it for like $180 and that’s one of best purchase for my Simracing Ned’s to date

    good wifi with virtual desktop improved the washed out colors for me a ton. Now I also have infinite battery life if I needed, because I can have the headset connected to the charger

    Ohh right, i forgot that thing has a DP connection. How is the comfort and weight distribution?

    I'm thinking about Pimax because i want a large FoV but that thing is massive. I heard it has a good strap that distributes the weight good though.

    I have not had much luck with that. I have pretty good wifi i think. I made sure it was the only device on the 5g band, set all my other stuff to use 2.4g. The router is plugged into the PC with eithernet. I stay within 10 ft of the router.
    I always noticed the added latency and it was never a good experience for me. I am curious to try it again

    The neo3 link comfort is not the best out of the box I have to be honest

    I have missed mine with an halo strap designed for the pico4 and it worked wonder

    i also replaced the facial interface with a more simple cushion type that had the side benefit to increase the FOV

    so for like 40bucks of mod goats it was a no brainer

    and as the battery is at the back now it’s super comfy overall I can play for hours without issue

    I am also looking at the upgrade path

    pimax crystal
    Big screen beyond
    PSVR2 if easily compatible to PC
    MEGANEX super light once launched as I am in Japan

    this hobby is costing me too much money money lol
