Generic Weekly Hotlap Challenge #232

I started with ps4 and my t500w/ T3PA on a wheelstand in front of my tv. Bought a computer and build my own wood rig. Still haven't gotten around to getting a load cell set of pedals yet...

I say get the computer first! Then get a VR headset. Your times will improve much more from being able to turn your head and actually being able to see the apex, then any difference you will notice in the slight differences of lag time between tv's, or even a load cell brake pedal upgrade - I'd be willing to bet you a beer on that

What a beast of a car. I spent a bit time trying to come up with a good setup. I had the tc off and the best I could do was a 2.05.1. I decided to try it with tc set to 4 and I set my new pb without any other changes to the setup.

 

Congrats - great headphones! I am currently running the T1 2. gen and I also love em. The shape is nice and sound is excellent. Paired with Creative AE-9.

 

Great mate!
After several updates to my rig the first thing I would upgrade know if I had to choose between wheel, pedals, tv etc. would be the rig! Honestly. Once you have experienced a sturdy and rigid rig you would not want to go back. And I think it is really an underrated upgrade. If you got a high end wheel but your rig moves under all the inputs, lots of the great feedbacs from the wheel is lost. And I feel so much more focused using an actual rig as compared to a chair etc.

 

How does the Ae-9 drive them? Are they 600ohm?

Im totally new to this so i just wanted an affordable amp for now to power them. Ill probably get a Schiit DAC at some point as well. To pair with the amp.

My z490 tomahawk mobo drives them ok, but i have the PC volume at 80 and in game at 100. So they definitely need the juice from an amp.

I found a torrent for boom 3d so i have Virtual surround and some good equalizer options now as well.

Still haven’t put a complete lap together - it’s that pesky last chicane! But now it’s F1 and then family time so probably my last attempt.

 

Is there VR on ACC?

 

Yes

 

Hmm… interested in the pc change now, really fancy the vr experience. The new pedals turn up Wednesday, looking forward to trying them out.

 

Thanks for all your inputs, I'll be considering everything for my upgrade. I forgot to mention, but a proper, rigid, rig is on the way. no more stowable rig in the coming weeks.

Now it's about chequered flag for this whc, jumping into the Abarth.

When i went from ps4 to pc i improved about 1 sec a lap i think it was on ACC. Not sure how scientific my test was but the smoothness (TV is 60hz so im locked at that fps) helps so much. I know AC runs 60 fps on ps4 but ACC did not. It was pacing terribly and was 30-45 fps up and down like a yoyo. So they change was much greater for me since i primarily play that.

And since my T-LCM pedals can now operate jn they're full 16 bits that definitely doesnt hurt either.

 

I only used them with the AE-9 so far and usually I turn volume down a lot or they are too loud. The T1 are 600 ohm. I liked that with the AE-9 as I could plug my boxes and good heaphones into them, but yeah, not many PC audio cards on the market - would recommend them if you do not want to use two different DAC.

 

The Schiit Heresy shows up Monday, cables to hook it to the mobo shows up Tuesday. So ill have some waiting to do. Im probably gonna pick up a Schiit DAC soon. I just need see how everything works first and if the Volume level is satisfactory. Im hoping i wont need my volume at 80%+ like i do now. But hopefully clarity is fine.

I contemplated an internal sound card but my mobos pcie slots are crowded due to the 3070 suprim x taking up 3 slots. Im using one for my wifi card and the last one is super close to the gpu so i dont really wanna use it.

I'll definitely update once it shows up.

What a great turn out this week! Seems everyone was inspired to have a turn driving @TinPeach's car!

Quite a battle this week in the mid field with 2.07 being the most popular time, with the star of the show @TinPeach coming in with the fastest 2.07 laptime. Usual players on the podium this week but there was a new entry from @White Tusk who managed to eek out a laptime a little quicker than some of our regulars. Congrats! Hope to see you again.


On the ACC side things @local_man1234 managed to claim the win this week over a determined @SlowGrayAudi (who's not really slow btw). @mike reynolds was quick enough for third place. @Tin Peach managed to relax himself before attempting his stint - who's to say how much is too much? Only the clock, I guess lol.

 

Fun Challenge this past week!

You're too kind
