Reduce or turn off shaking car

Hello,

I would like to see options to reduce considerably the amount of shaking and vibrating the cars make when driving. I have the driver's head vibration zeroed out, but the cars still shake and vibrate much too much for my tastes. I'd like to suggest that users have the option to reduce the shaking if they wish. Thank you

I want MORE driver head movements according to gforces and the like. Much much more. As it is now it just seems like the drivers head is bolted to the car and doesn't give me a feeling of gforces on my view.

 

Either more or less...I am hoping we have the ability in the future to set it as we like from none to anything.

 

it may feel realistic, but 95% of the time, that will slow you down... and a lot.

 

haha try disabling "lock drivers head to horizon" and see how much it moves then

I see no problem here to be honest. The shaking isn't "canned" from what I can see, but produced by actual bumps on the tracks. I am rather sensitive to blur and stuff in games, it makes me sick. But I have no such issue with AC

 

I enjoy the g-force movements, but I despise how the view shifts down permanently when going up or down hill. When I turn off "lock drivers head to horizon" the whole world outside the car bounces like crazy, which really isn't good on a big TV. Can't see.

 

Yeah, it's kinda like motion cockpit. Been looking for a way to stop or even decrease it some. Nothing yet.

Didn't see your normal thing there Derek, so I'll get it for you....

DSD FTW!

The reason some of are having a problem with it is because of the field of depth being the same of everything on the screen. It has to be this way because of our 2 dimensional screen.
Even if we try to focus on the track ahead, we are still focused on the screen. Even though we do not focus on the dash etc., it is still in our field of focus. In real life it is out of our field of focus, even if it is in our field of vision, we don't notice it because our focus is up the road. To have a bunch of motion on the screen can be distracting.

When we have other cars on the track and I notice some motion I'll be able to react faster, because I'll know it is another car. There is no reason that I should have to learn to ignore the motion of my car. IRL I wouldn't be able to see it unless I "looked" at it.

Just because some think it looks cool, or don't have a problem with it, then good for you. Some of us just see it as distracting. In my opinion, that is the stuff that only helps replays look good. I am a sim racer, not pretty game look ater.

 

Hi, I get 3D sickness and hideous on AC shaking with or without locking onboard to horizon. I cant drive AC more than 10 laps... help and give solutions please?

I am using Eyefinity 3 monitors setup and configured AC with triple screen app.
I usually drive iRacing (and rFn or KRP, etc.) but I have never been such 3D sickness.

 

Derek, where did you change the head shaking? AC is very stressing to the eyes with a triple screen eyefinity setup as I look at the horizon the screen shaking makes my eyes bleed, can't race very long as it gets too tiring for the eyes to try and keep focus. IRL your eyes can easily keep a distant fixed object locked, but in AC that distant object is constantly shaking and that shaking is hard to follow. Looking something similar to iRacing way of rendering the car / world movement.

 

You can change that in camera_onboard.ini.
I have it like this:

Code:

[MODE]
IS_WORLD_ALIGNED=1
FOV=40

[GFORCES]
MIX=-0.001,-0.0003,-0.005
LAG=0.8

[SHAKE]
SCALE=0.0, 0.0, 0.0
FREQ=150,150,100
RANDOM=0.5

[ROTATION]
HEAD_MAX_DEGREES=60
SPEED=20

Reduced Gforces and artificial shake disabled completely.

It would be great if we could set a percentage of horizon movement! That would not only make the view more natural but also reduce the pitching of the car on slopes

 

Thank You.

There are so many trees that I can hardly see the forest.

 

That's the issue is that the car is in our visual field. In a real world we don't see these things as the are not in our visual field, and as such we subconsciously ignore them...Bryan FTW!

Velo's post below yours answers the question. I've set everything to 0.

NB - I'm not arguing the validity or invalidity of the car and head shake. Some folks like it and others do not. My suggestion is to give the user control over it so those who like it can tailor it to their liking and those who do not may turn it off.

 

anyone have the orginal camera_onboard.ini settings ?

 

I agree to have control over it, so each driver can set it up according to their needs.

I personally like the cockpit completely static while the outside world bounces around... my eyes can keep track of the outside world and the virtual cockpit matches my steering wheel controler, wich is fixed, not shaking. This way feels a lot more natural to me... is how I always driven the beloved nkpro...

This and the ability to hide the virtual steering wheel are the only things I really miss to have the immersion I am used to.

 

You *may* like these settings?
I found that editing the file camera_onboard.ini
which will be in C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg
made a nice improvement for me. It just needs more cues to the current g force and road vibration to go with the wheel.
I use trackIR and like a narrower FOV than some.
My file now looks like this:
[MODE]
IS_WORLD_ALIGNED=0
FOV=48

[GFORCES]
MIX=-0.015,-0.015,-0.02
LAG=0.8

[SHAKE]
SCALE=0.008, 0.004, 0.0027
FREQ=100,150,100
RANDOM=1.0

[ROTATION]
HEAD_MAX_DEGREES=80
SPEED=20

 

Dude, you changed my life!!!! Thank u so much!

I had tried to edit that file, but only changed the SHAKE section... when I followed your post and edited the GFORCES as well, the game came alive to me! It is sooooooo much better now!

The cockpit doesn´t move at all, and all G forces reading come trough the horizon moving up and down and sideways.. a lot more natural for me! The only thing missed now is to hide the virtual steering wheel, and it will be perfect!

spot on m8!

 

Does anyone know how to do exactly the opposite? I want to minimize world shake outside the car, and see the movements in the cockpit.
