What's everybody getting down to?

I did a bunch of 29's on Sunday, and then later scratched a 28.7 in a private test session with default weather. My laps aren't very consistent though, which is odd, because usually consistency is my strong suit and the laps don't feel any different.

I only ran that one session so I dont know if the track was fast or slow but I did 28.8. Ran a ton of 28.9-29.3s for about 10 gallons straight.

Wait I ran on Sunday too but I don't recall my time, I think it was a 29.2.

You're welcome guys.

30.3 was my best, but that was my first session on OKY in the Ruf.

I'll be working on it more tonight/tomorrow.

I won't be on until later if at all... The old man's coming into town and I have to give my bachelor pad a once-over. Clean up beer cans and such.

I could come in at around 9pm. That would still be good for me.

In transit during my journey. Had the hearing in Tyler and now sitting in Houston. One thing that is nice on this trip, I have consistently been upgraded to first on the longer legs. Good for my complete lack of sleep. Looks like you guys are having fun ;(.

I've got a meeting tonight so I'm out. It's going to be a big uphill climb for me in the championship points this season.

I should make it tonight but your hopes are not completely dashed, Justin... unless I pack my PC, wheel/pedals, and Rift, when I go to Parade in June, I'm going to miss the last 3 weeks of the season.

Could someone post a picture of what it looks like on your setup when your sitting in the RUF? I'm wondering if my setup is wrong. In my case the A pillar hides a good part center monitor and it's very annoying. I'll check what my FOV is set at tonight.

The best image I have is this one, you can see the A pillar is huge !

I think your FOV is too wide. I also really struggle with high angles on the side monitors. Straight lines that bend when they cross monitors really boggle my mind. I'd start with a really shallow angle between your monitors and a much lower FOV and then move from there. The monitors should ideally be perpendicular to your sight line, right now they look like they are aimed at a point that is really close to the wheel instead of where your head is when you're driving.

When sitting in front of it the lines a pretty straight, last night I mesured the angle of my monitors and they are between 75 to 80 degrees, so that's what I set in the graphics tab in iRacing and it made a good difference, but that A pillar drives me nuts.

When you say my FOV is too wide, do you mean I should see more of the dash or less? I can move the view forward and backward, up or down with the [ and ] keys, is this the same thing as changing the FOV parameter in the options?
