Real Head Motion for ACC is here!

I just got Windows 2004, and something is wrong with both RHM's for me. I'll look into it as soon as I can.

 

THANK YOU

Our saviour has arrived everyone!

Hey guys, try this version 1.05 and see if you think it's better. I didn't find anything that had obviously broken, but somehow internal timings used in the calculations have changed since the Windows update, so I tried to adjust the calculations accordingly.

For those with a technical bent, I found this, which seems to be the root cause of the performance changes:

Hello WallyM. Thanks for your efforts. During a short test, I unfortunately did not notice any improvement. How do you feel when you move RHM back and forth on the Windows desktop with your mouse? My program jerks when I move it. Even if I bind a key in "Look Options", I can see how the values for "Val" follow and are not really synchronous with the key. Or has it always been like this? If I then look left and right with the key binding in ACC, it is also sluggish. Before the Windows Update, looking left-right was a bit nervous. So much more direct. I think the article you mention will be the reason. I also feel it while driving, that the program sometimes doesn't react fast enough while "smoothing the world movement". Nevertheless RHM still smooths better than ACC itself, only Microsoft continues to annoy us. At least on my PC. That's also the only thing that bothers my "old" eyes at ACC, this camera shaking. Or that the cockpit moves so far up and down with "Lock to Horizon". Even if all this should be realistic. My eyes are much smoother in the real world than what the racing simulators do. ACC is not alone in this. Maybe that's also because you get older and your brain doesn't follow you with all those shaky things anymore.

 

My finding is that there IS some improvement but it's just that. Just an improvement. It's nowhere near the pre-2004 rhm but it's noticeably better than 1.04, The camera re-centers itself much faster now (not as fast as pre-2004)

Also, no @MABR the sync issue wasn't always there, it appeared with 2004 and it's also one of the places where you can see the improvement @WallyM did with 1.05. Try pressing a button with 1.04 and try it again with 1.05. 1.05 reacts quite faster. But again, not as instant as pre-2004 was.

I hope we can one day fully achieve pre-2004 quickness again.

 

I will also test again more exactly.

Yes, what SunBro describes, I have now also noticed. The camera centres itself faster. With 1.05 there is an improvement in this respect.

 

Thanks for the feedback. It shows I'm on the right track. I will see if I can make further improvements.

 

Try this 1.06. It should provide consistent timing (and hence consistent camera movement), whether you're on Windows 10 2004 or not. The sliders in the settings are always going to be a bit more jerky now, but I'm sure we can live with that.

 

Hi.

Do the latest version 1.06 works in VR? If not, will it work the next ones?

Thanks.

 

No, I don't think it will ever work in VR.

 

What a pitty... Really RHM were a bit improvement for VR users in AC1.

 

How can it be, though? RHM works by moving your eye camera. How does that make sense in VR without physically moving your head?

 

Yup. We're back in business. This is pre-2004 levels of responsiveness. Thanks a bunch man!

 

I don't know, but I can ensure you that works.

Due in AC you are not able to set a level of "look on board to horizon" (you can set it to 0 or 100), it supusse a great improvement.

I ussually play PCars2 and ACC, both with look to horizon setting and it has not comparison, cause of the filters,
which make the ascents and descents and especially the slopes produce more natural and comfortable sensations.

In fact, the oval circuits cannot be played in VR with the option to fix the camera to the horizon; only with RHM is possible thanks to its filters.

 

Flawless, it works great, Thanks Wally._

 

Yes, also works on my side with Win10 2004. Great work and support, WallyM!

 

In AC, it is possible to apply 2 head movements at the same time : VR and RHM. So that it is possible to smooth the bumps and the LTH while moving the head in VR. And to be honest RHM makes the difference even in VR.

And unfortunately in ACC, it seems that Track IR API is deactivated in VR

@pankykapus : I am calling if you can help or confirm this? Thanks.

 

Hello, just trying to make it work, done all that is writen in first post, but it is not working at all

You are doing something wrong because the app works well.

It could be that you have another headshot app that is causing conflict.
