FOV discussions crack me up, I didn’t even know this was a thing until I joined this group.

Don’t get me wrong it makes total sense!

However, I don’t have the resources to update the 19” monitor I use to play the game on....with a squeaky race wheel bolted to a rubbish office desk...in my garage! Haha!

I’m always very envious when I see other people’s home setups!

And there I was thinking my setup was meh and I must have a DD wheel!

Well, objectively, the Playseat I have is not very comfortable. And the T3PA throttle pedal started squeaking only after a short while. I don't use this rig all that often really. FFB is toned down (like 50% reduction) only after a couple of laps. So, yeah, much room for improvement!

Thanks buddy! I'll give it a shot this evening.

@joedakiss, and while I'm at it, I can look up and share my FOV values if you're interested.

Unfortunately, this didn't make a noticeable difference.

 

[ILIV]

Hey, @Sick Cylinder. I'm surprised I got 4 points for coming in last. How does this system work?

 

[Sick Cylinder]

Points are scored from 1st (20) to 15th (1).

20, 17, 15, 13, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

You finished 12th so get 4 points. @IfAndOr retired to the pits so gets 3 points. @rj5992 disconnected so gets the points for one place below the last person in the room - he therefore gets 2 points.

Disconnection points were developed to reward people for making the effort to attend the meeting (the reason for the disconnection does not matter - it might be rage, frustration, receiving a phone call or an angry wife returning from work! - or just a disconnection!).

No disconnection points were awarded for Wednesday's meeting because everyone disconnected - that meeting was therefore void and no points were awarded.

 

[IfAndOr]

IfAndOr retired to the pits

everyone disconnected

I really like Brno. One of these days I'll get to have a race there.

I like circuits that are not too long with nice elevation changes and fast flowing corners but dislike tight hairpins/chicanes.

There's a few contenders but I'd say my top 3 real world in game tracks are. (Subject to change!)
1\ Brno
2\ Watkins Glen
3\ Mugello

Bannockbrae gets a mention as a fictional track.

Unfortunately, this didn't make a noticeable difference.

That's a shame. You must have quite a narrow FOV?
You could try increasing the 2nd figure to the maximum of 120 and perhaps lowering the 3rd one to 100kph. Worth a try.

Don't forget you also like Watkins Glen @IfAndOr - we will be using the shorter version of that next year.

Ah damn. I got my wrong W track there. Corrected.

Results from Dubai

@John Wells waiting for the stills! Thanks!

 

[John Wells]

@John Wells waiting for the stills! Thanks!

Thanks here they are ILIV.

 

[ILIV]

Great work @John Wells! I enjoy these stills more than video replays

 

[slthree]

Sad Renault ☹️ all warmed up and ready to race while its owner is washing his hands!

The still photos are beautiful, as always. Love the two Ferraris rubbing

@John Wells Do you have an affinity for photography outside this game?

 

[Sick Cylinder]

 

[John Wells]

Thanks ILIV, Slthree, it's a bit easier, doing them in game, real life, I like the lighting in PC2.
I like taking photos, but haven't got really big lens, but no really special, be putting some, on from Croft Retro Weekend.

 

[ILIV]

@John Wells may I suggest uploading full resolution stills to imgur.com as a gallery, album/gallery per race, and then sharing a link here?

 

[WiSchmo]

I won't be able to make it for this and next Monday's races due to a birthday party and vacation.

I'm still racing Wednesdays, though

That's a shame. I suppose we can't compete with a cake and a break.

I'm still racing Wednesdays, though

I'll bring some doughnuts.

ILIV are they not all ready in HD?
Been watching this baseline set up video, when want to save changes, it goes to another, file. Its quite good this.

 

[IfAndOr]

ILIV are they not all ready in HD?

No John. Pictures that are posted directly to threads are automatically resized to a lower resolution. They never used to be but it was done to improve page loading speeds and save space.

You can upload full size pictures to your personal media section on GTP and then add link them to the threads.

Like this... Click on it, then click on the magnifier. (Sorry it's GTS )

Or you could, like Iliv says, post them on a external photo hosting site and link them to here.

Thanks Paul were do I find that?

 

[ILIV]

Yeah, I couldn't find that either.

 

[John Wells]

Sorry can't race tonight, be there on Wednesday.

 

[ILIV]

Oh noes!

 

[IfAndOr]

Thanks Paul were do I find that?

Yeah, I couldn't find that either.

You can add pictures (media) HERE.

In John's case it would be probably be best to create a new folder (Album) for each set of race pictures, eg. GT3 Spa 12\8\19 - otherwise there'd be to many in one folder and you'd never find anything.

When you've added the pictures you could post a link to the album like THIS
Or like this - https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/media/albums/gts-pictures.1241/

You eventually have multiple albums such as THIS . (ok I've not got many )

Individual pictures can be added (linked) to the thread, if needed, by clicking on the camera icon in the toolbar on the message window. It's what I used in my previous post.


It's all a little trickier to do initially but once you've done it a couple of times it becomes much easier - for both the user and the viewers. The actual selection and uploading is actually quicker I find.
It would result in higher resolution shots and would also tidy the threads up I suppose - we'd also be able to go back and look at previous race pictures much easier. They'd all be in one media area.

Thanks Paul have look at later, might be little hard, at first, but how it goes.👍

where does lights under the fence come's from?

 

[IfAndOr]

where does lights under the fence come's from?

It's one of those Scapes thingys. I think it's a couple of spotlights that I diffused to hide them and then added a bit of star effect.

It's not my livery on the GT86 it's one I downloaded.

 

[Sick Cylinder]

Apologies, but I won't be able to attend the race tonight. @IfAndOr

@IfAndOr Please invite @Don Mejillone

Thanks
