That could be a struggle with the gpu you have, but this question has so many follow up questions, can I suggest you ask it on my discord channel - discord.gg/tn774r43 A lot of very helpful and knowledgeable people there to help you.

Thank you so much ​@@OlderGamersPerspective

For an answer to this question, can I suggest you visit my discord channel where you will find a great deal of helpful input on these issues - discord.gg/tn774r43

Hi, thank you for the comment. This issue has been discussed before and it's down to the optimal cooperation of the T300 vs the maximum power it can output. At.3.9 the T300 has given user issues and it has been thought that 2.9 is the better optimal value for sustained reliability. So I'm both right and wrong :)

I did look into this , but found the graphical improvements were minimal. What's your feeling on hdr?

Yes, that can help. I think I reset that a while back for the settings menu, because it had defaulted to a very low setting.

Hi, glad the settings worked for you. I felt the same when I found the right combination, suddenly it was looking at a different sim.

My settings for Debug tend to be fluid, depending on what I am using and in what conditions. If the sim is not stressing my system in VR I usually just have Encode Bitrate set to 450 (higher than this on my system causes audio glitches, which impacts visual performance - but that's just my system) and I have Spacewarp disabled. If I am having issues with performance, I do also use the FOV tangent multiplier and for this I have another video, which you can find here - ua-cam.com/video/ZO9A39eypbQ/v-deo.htmlsi=Tiqo_MNRkYiOUrLN

Yes, those types of cockpits are ideal for this type of haptic feedback system. Might even improve comfort. Let me know how you get on.

I'll try my best :)

I did cover a lot.of those settings in a previous video on optimising the 4070super with iracing in VR. Check that one out if you have time. But mostly, the settings on the far left, at the top, clouds and other stuff like that, can be altered with out rebooting the software, but the stuff in the middle and far right should be adjusted with consideration to a reboot of the sim. I guess the rule of thumb should be, is it you later a.setting and it has minimal or zero.effect on FPS, try a reboot of the sim and see what happens. And try to alter only one setting at a.time.

Thank you for the feedback. Much appreciated. I'm not at my computer or rig right now, and can check this when I return, but from memory, iRacing and crew chief should not be a problem when working in combination with the new HF8 software. Don't forget to activate each effect one at.a time, to dial in the settings that work for you, in your rig.

I would first of all check device manager on the PC, and make sure power saving is disabled for all your usb ports. Let me know if this makes a difference or not.

@@OlderGamersPerspective did not work. Thought it did for a little. Ran 2 hosted races with no problems, but on the third i ran a couple laps and reset then it freezes

Also i can run 200 fps on the monitor but on the quest 3 i can only get 70

​@@skylerlopez9157 pop over to my discord channel discord.gg/bnujB5Bc And post the same description there. Easier to chat there and also a lot of very informed people to help you. Look for the VR Help Section

Far as I know, you can only use WRC on the PC and then the Quest 3 connected to the PC.Never used WRC myself, but the reports I've heard about VR performance have been good.

My pleasure

I wasn't aware of this, I hope they sort it out in the 1.6 patch.

Not on.my current rig. The one before it I had both, but this one I bought as I was getting into VR and so haven't yet fitted in to it. But it will.happen in the near future.

Indeed we do :)

It's an either/either situation. You need to do one or the other, but you need to try out which one looks better for you, and which one is best for your system. Personally I would go with the Open XR toolkit solution, as this one is easier to adjust once in the Sim. But either will work, and either one does pretty much the same thing, but with a different approach. Possibly open xr toolkit is the clearer of the two, for understanding what you are changing.

I have seen that patch 1.6 is going to address these issues, so I am more hopeful, but I understand your doubts. More testing is going to be needed, when they release the patch. Hopefully soon. Evo I tried at the Expo, video on my channel about this, and that was cool, but the FFB didn't impress me as much. But the version I was using had Pre-Alpha on the splash screen, so make of that what you will.

I believe that when Meta updated the App a few months back, these settings changed and the maximum that is now available is less than seen in this video. Not sure why this was changed, of if it will be changed back, but at the moment, this is what it is. 30-40% headroom sounds awesome. Happy racing :) for 120Hz, I can run that, if I want to, but it does stress the system a little more, and can cause a lot of issues on a crowded grid, or in the rain.

I can't tell you as I have never used that model, but I can say that it is very comparable with my usual wheel, the Moza R9.

@@OlderGamersPerspective no problem buddy thanks for getting back to me I do appreciate the reply I am going to buy it when it comes in stock In uk

@@Isa-t6v3v Did you see my show video? I have a very brief overview on there of my first impressions. I would say the only down side I can see is the relatively cheap looking wheel, but this can be replaced, and the fact that the body of the wheel housing is taller than a standard DD wheel.

@@OlderGamersPerspective Il check it out now mate and I agree I don’t like the look of the wheel I really like the tgt 2 wheel I hope that works with it

@@Isa-t6v3v The T598 seemed to use most of the thrustmaster wheels, but I don't know if it can use the TGT2 wheel.

Glad you found it helpful :)

March 7-15, 2025 in Austin, TX

Also, not sure if you need tickets but Badges range from $1695-$730 and the game industry events seem to be open to all badges. Some events at sxsw are free but there’s nothing indicating the integration of Sim Racing Expo yet, from what I can find

To clarify: SXSW 2025 is March 7-15 but the "game industry" events are March 9-11. I'm guessing the sim expo stuff will be integrated into that programming

Sounds like a cool event. Thank you for the extra information.

As a last point of clarity(sorry I'm learning new information as I go)... ADAC posted on their bio in Instagram that it will be March 13-15th. I'm trying to go, so I've just been digging for information but it's not as clear as you'd think. They haven't made many formal announcements. That's how I even came across this video! 😂

@@cheekyheinz0010 thank you. Hope you found this video useful

Rain is an issue in the rain in VR. Have you tried lowering MSAA to X2…? And also, try the headset at 72hz. Both of these can help keep a stable frame rate in VR.

I was very impressed during a session with GT7 and then ACC. I will post a more in an ADAC Sim racing video to be posted soon Also talking to Thrustmaster and hoping to get a review unit. Although I can't promise the second, but I hope it happens. My initial impressions are that the T598, at this price point, could be a game changer for the direct drive market.

It was a cool experience

More to come when I post the full show video early next week

You're welcome! Glad you found the video helpful

How do you manage with black flag messages and that sort of thing?

Ignoring the price and battery, I would say the CMQ3 has the edge over the S3 in terms of comfort. Let's put it this way, after I made that review, I left the CMQ3 on my quest 3 and it is in fact still there. I think the padded head strap is slightly more comfortable for seated VR experiences than the S3. Not much in it, but enough for me to stick with the CMQ3. For standing VR experiences such as fitness and the like, I am less convinced by this head strap, but that was the same for the S3. Halo straps are king for seated VR, but for standing I think you really need the elite style

I will do my best, but I fear my English accent will always butcher such place names.

Yes indeed, the HUD needs placement and scalable options, something similar to the Content Manager mod in AC, which is just brilliant for that sort of thing, in fact I don't know why all Sims just don't find a way to do exactly what Content Manager in AC does. The mirrors... Yes, I noticed that a fair bit, although the car I was in used the Rear Camera setup, so I was more focused on that, but the mirrors I did use looked very pixelated. FFB is impressive, I am not sure it's as good as AC can be, for cars with good physics models, but it is a pleasure to drive. I did find the GTE a little light on the brake, in that the brakes didn't feel like they were doing enough, but that might just have been me not being used to the GTE. Tracks are also great, very much better than iRacing in my opinion. And yes, I did encounter a few RF2 bugs from yesteryear, which is a bit disappointing. Hopefully they get that sorted before any eventual release date. Crew chief I will try with LMU as soon as I get a chance, for this first impressions video, I wanted to look at LMU Pure. Thank you for the feedback.

Hi, thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. Glad to hear that you are now running smooth. Bare in mind that some tracks, with a heavy grid, or that great nemesis, rain, will cause you to see a performance drop, in which case, drop to 72Hz (if the PSVR can do that, I've not used it), and also consider turning down MSAA to x2, but only for these extreme races where frame rate is consistently hard to obtain, or maintain. Those sort of races you are likely to encounter once you come out of Rookies and go to the D-Class, the Production Car Challenge, for example. Also, some tracks are not very well optimised, so if you see issues, don't always think it's your setup. It could just be that iRacing is pushing it too hard on some of the less well optimised tracks. How are you finding the PSVR2?

@@OlderGamersPerspective I‘ve yet to encounter rain but my hope is that dropping MSAA to 2x will help maintain framerate. Unfortunately the PSVR2 only offers 90Hz and 120Hz refresh rates. A 72Hz option would surely be nice to have, if only as an emergency option. Who knows, it might be added in the future. That said, I might experiment with 60fps reprojected to 120fps as it never bothered me much in GT7. The overall polish and ease of use in GT7 is exceptional in VR of course, but I’m having much more fun with iRacing as it is just better racing and simulation. I still might get a (used) Quest 3 at some point but I’m in no hurry. Keep up the great work :)

@@racingsuspicion9011 Thank you for the information, very helpful :) Have fun with your setup and hope to see you on track. BTW - if you want to join a group of like minded Sim racers, I have a discord channel where we discuss such technical stuff until the sun goes down :) discord.gg/FMJ5R9JW

@@racingsuspicion9011ghosting in gt7 sucks… Cant comfortably watch a vr replay

@@lopatovich yeah GT7 is _much_ less crisp than iRacing on my pc. Might not be able to do reprojection anymore after all lol

Hi, good to meet another older gamer, and one that goes back as far as the R8 debate of last century (just ;) ) Glad the settings helped, probably be outdated when the actual V1.0 is released (or whatever number it will have), but I will bring out an update when that happens. I was also having a lot of issues with LMU, and one thing that I didn't mention is I found it helpful to delete the Config_DX11_VR.ini file found in the LMU game folder/UserData folder. This did seem to help in my case, and seemed to be something I needed to do after an update. Needed to setup all the graphics settings again, but this didn't seem to effect the wheel binding, which is a relief. Anyway, if you want to chat with other sim racers, often of an older persuasion, I also have a Discord channel that you are welcome to join, if you do the Discord thing. discord.gg/vrYag8HF

Have you installed the OpenXR Toolkit?

I have used the FOV TM before, but I find it a little intrusive. But you are right, with it on, performance is likely to be better. I will take another look at ACC, although I have trouble warming to it as I see some odd rendering issues while racing, which I am told is to do with the Unreal engine. but I can give it another go.

Have you tried the openVR toolkit to improve performance? I think for VR you need to have at least a consistent 90fps for a pleasant experience.

Yep, I can understand that. I was tempted to wait myself, but was sucked in eventually, by the HUD update.

Everyone who waits, contributes to this sim possibly never reaching V1.0... Support simracing development.

@@EricW6800 It would be cool if we all had enough money to do this, but times are tight, and not everyone can afford to jump into a sim that may never, as you say, reach V1.0. I think the decision by 397 to release DLC that needs to be paid for has also caused problems. In early access, people shouldn't be asked to risk more money on a product that may never reach a full release. There are lots of sim titles and lots of DLC packs for them, an only so much money in peoples pockets. That being said, I do hope that this sim gets a full release and thrives as it drives really nicely.

@@OlderGamersPerspective I can agree to some extent but many simracing enthusiasts who are on the fence have a Iracing subscription, or a decent PC to play on, other hardware like steering wheels or pedals, etc.etc. I was not pointing to people who play simracing titles on a old laptop and a second hand game controller. It probably won't even run LMU. The being on the fence is often coming from a group who have the resources. By not buying in that case you are basically contributing to the loss of available platforms, or having less simracing platforms in the future.

@@EricW6800 Yes, you are right. And it would be a bleak sim racing world if only iRacing were left. Although these days, it sometimes feels like that. Hopefully 397 can find some funding to finish the job and give us another cool title to use.

Cool. I am glad you found this video helpful, and have fun :)

Epic. Really glad it worked out for you, and congrats on the super system. I am sure you will enjoy racing on it :)

I think what happened is, Meta updates the PC app, and when they did that, some of the resolutions were changed. It has upset a number of people.

@@OlderGamersPerspective Thanks Mate... love the content.

I have tried both Methods, and my testing is still in the early days, but I've personally not seen a huge improvement in performance when using the Nvidia settings option for AA. But like I say, I am still experimenting with it.

I would say that 72 is probably the better bet if your system is struggling. 80hz always feels like an oddity to me, and I have seen some unexpected performance issues when using it on my system.

Thank you for the tip, I have not heard about this product, and have reached out to Razer for a review copy.

I use this with all combat, flying, and racing games. If you like Tank games, try this with World of Tanks. First time I fired this up on WoT, it was truly startling, and I'm a WoT veteran(7years). It was, and still is incredible to actually feel the explosions going off all around you. Very cool.
