PHENOMENAL video bro! Did you drive the track in VR? If so, I can't even imagine how absurdly awesome it must feel.
I've tried it and it's just as crazy as you'd expect it to be🤣 Thanks!
You left out the game completion music, It's on my channel under "Zeusdaz Jaguar XJ220 Full Game".
love the in-car hot lap. could you do this for more tracks? thank you. Do you have a database of IndyCar setups like you did for BTCC cars? I'm particularly interested to see what an oval (WWT or Indy) setup would look like... thank you again.
Thanks! Sadly I've no plans to do any more at this time. I never properly tried the cars on ovals so no set-ups sadly. I have a Laguna Seca hot lap and set-up on my channel somewhere though!
@@rossjmcgregor yes, saw the Laguna Seca video & grabbed the setup... thank you!
@leroyg9353 you're very welcome!
The 5cyl sound, the body lines and tucked rear wheels. Great years for BTCC and a gorgeous car.
Clean run man, the Yaris 2 is such a sick car 🏁👍🏼
Cheers!
this is so slow ! noytra uploaded a video where he is 7 second faster in the wet
Well done to him!
Hey, what GPU / headset was used here and what kind of performance did you get
Hey, check out the links in the description!
Nice video! Is it worth buying if you only play it in VR. What I'm wondering is if the VR mode itself is equivalent to, for example, VR in AMS2? Or are there certain parts of the game that don't work in VR?
I wouldn't buy it just now solely for vr
@@rossjmcgregor Ok, thank you!
It's nowhere near as optimised as AMS 2 in VR currently. I believe it will eventually be as smooth as rf2 but just not now!
What were ur settings in LMU for VR. The post process and graphics?
Post process on low, everything else medium or low
now work online?
Haven't tried it online tbh
Are you using a mod for the bill boards to replace the original?
No
Okay, but it has Vodafone on it and not Philips car sytems?
Interesting
livery link?
It's in the description of one of my other VW RBR vids
One of my favorite RBR stages!
It's great!
Those photographers living on the edge
🤣
Tolle Klasse 1 mit sehr realistischen Sounds der verschiedenen Fahrzeugen! Genau in diese Richtung muss Race Room gehen. Mein Vorschlag wäre die DRM der Anfang der 70er Jahre mit Div.1 und 2 das wäre Porsche RSR, BMW CSL, Ford Capri,was es noch garnicht gibt in anderen Simulation gibt das sind Fahrzeuge der kleinen Klasse BMW 2002,Ford Escort,Alfa GTA. Einen Wetterwechsel mit Tag/Nacht wäre als nächstes sehr angebracht.😊 VG.Wolfgang
Can you please let me know what settings you used to get it working with the Pimax Crystal?
Check out the comments on this video for more info: ua-cam.com/video/UaejnCnMvBM/v-deo.html
So this is their night version but without cars headlights
'sunset'. There's no night in RR!
🔥
nice video
Cheers!
cant wait for the graphics overhaul
how come the windsreen keeps so perfectly clean throughout the whole race on a summer evening?
Magic
Πολύ καλό !
Is this with the update? If so, how did you get access?
Yes, I work for sim racing news website Traxion.GG: traxion.gg/taming-the-beasts-hands-on-with-racerooms-1995-dtm-content/
Wow sound seems almost perfect. Is the gear shift simulated correctly? I mean using clutch and lift like in this video? ua-cam.com/video/PjHWAIcZTfc/v-deo.htmlsi=ypQkGThnRrS0dr28
Gotta love the sound of that Calibra <3 If only it would look like this in the hs ;) It's a singular thing I guess that neither the experience nor the quality of what you see in VR can be transported through a video (which is a simple fact, not a criticism mind you). My 3070 system looks ok-ish in single player but as soon I enter an online race performance gets tanked drastically. Is that to be expected? I'm fairly knew to (PC)-VR you know.
I was able to run a 30+ grid (all visible!) on almost max settings without any issues in single player but didn't try online sadly
@@rossjmcgregor I see. Technically should be the same since the hs is not dependend on internet-connection stuff one would assume. But if I've learned one thing about PCVR: it is fiddly af 😵💫
@MikiLaggard yeah there's definitely a lot to learn!
@@MikiLaggard probably more of a CPU bottleneck than GPU if you're having issues jumping from single player to online
Level IA?
100
Do you know when the DTM 2024 pack will be out?
That will likely be out in a few weeks
Graphics are looking great
What is the lap time?
It still looks like an old game, RBR style. Sound engine isn't good either anymore. I wish it would be the opposite I spend 1300h in RaceRoom but haven't touched it since two years
The sounds still hold up today, better than AC, iRacing and rFactor 2, for example. It looks nicer now but there's only so much they can do I guess.
Can you share your settings for making VR working. I cannot make it work, using Quest 3.
Check out the comments, I posted some helpful settings 👍🏼
Disappointing to see that after effectively a near 20 year evolution of this platform, there is still horrible aliaising.
I didn't have MSAA turned up for this to be fair, will try it on full gfx settings in VR next time
Cars look and sound great. Also visually, can really see the enhanced graphics in the sky.
tough looking track
Is AI improved? I played it last time couple of years ago, AI was a complete mess, at least in series I was testing.
Unfortunately I haven't played enough of RaceRoom over the years to judge, but the DTM 1995 class seemed quite challenging to race on 100% difficulty, so that's a good sign!
@@rossjmcgregor Thanks.
CAN. NOT. WAIT. ! ! !
It's good fun!
Cool. How did you get the update early? Is it available on beta? Thanks
I work for sim racing website Traxion.GG, so have early access. Check us out, we made a video on the subject on our YT channel! It's not available publicly yet
@@rossjmcgregor Hi. did you have to do anything tricky to get on track? most of us have to deal with very small unreadable title screen.
Yes - Make sure RaceRoom is installed on the same drive as your main Steam installation folder. Turn off Fixed Foveated Rendering (FFV) in the Pimax Play software. Turn off VSYNC, Bloom, and Depth Of Field Effects
@@rossjmcgregor thanks for the reply. I dont have a pimax crystal but I believe every user has had that small screen/low resolution issue. so you are saying they fixed that problem?
I actually had trouble getting RR to work in VR (including tiny screen as described) but by following the above steps it worked ok. So it sounds like there's still an issue there but I was able to resolve it.
looks great! did u use steam vr or the open composite „hack“? what a your system specs? thank you!
Steam VR
unbelievable. is at really that clear in the goggles as it is in the mirrored stream? looks fantastic. do you mind to share your vr settings? im struggling with blurryness and artifacts at the fenses a lot with my quest 2
@moedah8236 it looks better in-headset!
is this video with the new big graphic uodate that is released on 4. September?
Yes
@@rossjmcgregorHow does the game feel overall in vr now? Better or the same as far as performance and graphics
is it now as good as AMS2 in VR?
I don't think it looks as nice as AMS 2 in VR but it drives better
@@rossjmcgregor OK, at the moment I drive ams2, but I find assetto corsa little bit better in physics and FFB. but graphics are ugly in assetto corsa, that's why I switched to ams2, in VR
AMS 2 is hard to beat in terms of looks and performance. Have you tried installing graphics mods for AC?
@@rossjmcgregor yes I tried out lots of csp, sol, pure mods over months, some few tracks looms ok, but the general look is old and crap. cars look great. but surroundings, tracks very unnatural. you see that the engine is 10 years old, even with all the mods
@@mh7711 You really need to try the custom shaders patch for AC. It'll change your mind about the graphics. There are dozens of vids on UA-cam to show you where to download and how to install the mod.
Did you notice any performance change in regards to VR? HP Reverb user ;})
I don't know RaceRoom well enough to judge, but it worked very well for me once I got my headset up and running
so many wreckers.... This is raceroom! 👎👎👎👎
It's the AI
The Best Simulator aside from Gran Turismo
aside from GT 🤣🤣🤣
GT isn't a sim. Don't get me worng, I'm not hating on it. It's great and worthy of it's fanbase but it's a "Simcade"...as is Forza. Raceroom is an actual simulator in the same category as Asseto, iRacing and Automobilista 2. Of course, many will debate which is best or more realistic.
@@scorchio89 well said
The reflections look greatly improved especially on the car side windows as you get closer to them 👌 have you noticed whether there is better performance in vr ? All in all looking forward to the update. Thanks for sharing this video 👍
I haven't played enough of RaceRoom in VR to say whether it's a big improvement, but the general game does look better definitely. No worries, thanks for reaching out!
@@rossjmcgregor thanks for your response 👍
best DTM era
100%!
Remember this back in the day! The cheat codes on games where so much better than now!
And Tiff Needell's voice! CHEAT MODE ENABLED!
Sound is excellent. Animation is still missing (shaking wiper, gear change etv.)
The Opel has a gear change animation but I believe the Alfa used paddle shift back in the day.
I am so hyped for the update. I did note expect the forward step to be this big. New sky settings, new emmissive light, all that stuff is really nice. Can‘t wait to throw my money at kw studios.
It's a lot of fun. Highly recommended if you're a fan of classic DTM!
Lap invalidated as well as next lap ;) KW/Sector3 really need to address the ridiculous track-limits in RR which don't relate to motorsport at all. Kerbs are part of the track and unless you leave the curbs completely your lap should be valid. Also - and this really gets me and my team-mate upset every time lol - they punish you by taking away your laptime. Don't know why that's not talked about more. Apart from that: RR always has a place in my heart and I'm really excited about the graphics-update! And the DTM 95 pack is a no-brainer for me since I'm german and well, erm ..old. xD
First lap was clean but on the limit, start of second lap was invalidated though! iRacing is also overly harsh with track limits👍🏼
