Bouncing horizon

Fairly new to AMS and not really a PC wizzard, not having found a solution on the net, here's my question:

In some cars, (always using cockpit view) the whole view is bouncing/shaking up and down, causing me upcoming nausea.
I'm on triple screen setup, screens pretty close to my eyes (about 55cm). I get that the effect would be less with big screens far from your face.

I don't mind the car/interior moving, but like IRL I would like the view being stable.
I suppose there is a way to fix it in the files, but I have no idea what/where to try.

I don't mean "horizon lock" causing the dash to move up and down when going up/downhill.

Help appreciated !
Anyone please ?

 

There is a setting in the rates I think it is in game that you can disable a lot of that movement.

 

Thanks. All the in-game settings that I think could be involved are tried and set to zero.
But sadly it does not change the "world" bouncing up/down.

 

Try editing

Cockpit Vibration Mult1="0.20000" // Primary vibration multiplier affects eyepoint position (base magnitude is in VEH or cockpit file)
Cockpit Vibration Freq1="42.00000" // Primary rate of vibration affects eyepoint position (higher framerates allow higher rates)
Cockpit Vibration Mult2="0.28000" // Secondary vibration multiplier affects eyepoint orientation (base magnitude is in VEH or cockpit file)
Cockpit Vibration Freq2="56.00000" // Secondary rate of vibration affects eyepoint orientation

in your <playername> .plr file in C:\Users\..........\Documents\Automobilista\USERDATA\<playername>

 

Thanks, found them.
Not sure what values would help.

There is also a cockpitinfo config in the car files, where it says CockpitVibrationMag=0.004 // default is 0.006
Changing that did not help.
Eyepoint settings in this file gave no result either.

Maybe the HeadPhysics config in the car files.
Will try that later, along the ones you showed me...

 

Google real head motion for rF1. Works perfectly with AMS.

 

Thanks.
I did try RHM in AC before, did not like it.
But I wanted to give it a chance in AMS because in some cars it is nearly impossible to drive with all the shaking.
I believe I installed everything right (in the plugin folder), activated it in the XML document when it asked me to, set head motion in menu control settings to 0% (it was there already), edited the .plr and changed the cockpit vibrations to zero.
It does not even work.
And even with these settings to zero, it did not change a thing in my view either. I took the same car, same track, same shaking...

 

Been playing around with these values too. Sadly it did not help either.

 

Hmmm.... Believe me it works as you can see from any of my AMS videos. Here is XML as I have configured it:

Example

 

I tried version 1.3. Maybe that is the reason it is not working. Just read some comments from guys with the same issue, all using 1.3...
Will try an older version tomorrow.
Thanks for the info

 

And that is how I expect my view to be...

 

Of course it works Personally I think Real Head Motion plugin should be "built-in" as a default feature which obviously you would be able to disable - just like DynHUD.

 

Agree, and preferably in the UI, in stead of having to dig into the files.
Btw: which version of RHM are you using ?

 

Real Head Motion for RFactor 1 - MagicFr Dev Site

Version 1.1 is this the right one?

 

I only can find versions with an .ini file, no .xml

Are you using RealHeadMotionRFactor1V1.01.zip?

 

I think any rF1 version will work. I am still using 1.01 (however in .ini it says 1.0 beta )

 

This strikes me though:

From the RHM download site (and mentioned before here):

---------------------------
Installation
Set the Head motion to 0% in the Menu Control settings.
First, edit the file\rFactor\UserData\player\player.PLR
And change those lines like this
Cockpit Vibration Mult1="0.00000" // Primary vibration multiplier affects eyepoint position (base magnitude is in VEH or cockpit file)
Cockpit Vibration Freq1="0.00000" // Primary rate of vibration affects eyepoint position (higher framerates allow higher rates)
Cockpit Vibration Mult2="0.00000" // Secondary vibration multiplier affects eyepoint orientation (base magnitude is in VEH or cockpit file)
Cockpit Vibration Freq2="0.00000" // Secondary rate of vibration affects eyepoint orientation
Car Vibration Mult1="0.00000" // Vibration multiplier affects cameras attached directly to the car

So the internal rFactor camera vibration will not interfere
---------------------------------

I tried these exact settings yesterday, even without installing RHM.
If I understand right these settings would totally disable camera vibration, right ?
But the settings did not change a thing while driving, the bouncing was still as present as before I changed the settings. How can that be ?

 

So we still need to edit the Player.plr file?

 

@Fanapryde My guess is you're changing settings in the wrong .plr file, mate

There you probably have two .plr files
1) C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Automobilista
2) C:\Users\[username]\Documents\Automobilista\userdata\[username]

Try changing those settings in the other one.
