Joining the thread. Ordered the components for my rig a few days ago. Now, I just need to redo a room in my basement to serve as my simulator space. Will hopefully be up and running by the end of the month.

Simulator sickness
Was wondering if anyone could help. I have a simxperience rig. Had a really bad experience setting it up. They sent the wrong assembly instructions several times, parts missing, etc. but finally have it up and running. I have put in a few hours seat time at least and I am getting sick every time I use the darn thing, especially when I crash. To the point that I cant eat for an hour later. Does this get easier with more seat time or are there people who just cant get used to this? Im using the oculus VR goggles which may be worse than monitors?

If its that bad for you, I wouldnt expect it to get much better. VR is cool, but its still in its infancy, like watching and old TV vs current 4K, etc.

I have dismantled my sim for a while to make a room for a new baby that is expected in March... so if anyone else wants to take the reins for the league for the next little while, I'm happy to add more admins to the group. That would be awesome if you guys can keep it going for the next little while.

I have not heard it gets better sadly. It's like motion sickness... Dramamine may help?.
Definitely try it without the VR goggles. Some have issues with triple monitors (the peripheral stuff makes them dizzy) but can handle a single monitor.

Ive tried all of the big motion platforms. The top end SimXperience, the Force Dynamics, the CXC. The hardware just cant react fast enough.
If you put enough time in, youll eventually grow accustomed.
Me personally, having tried both... Id disable the motion and just use VR. Far more immersive in VR with no motion than screens with motion.

Perhaps I'm blind but there appears to be no "sticky" info on the first page letting people know where / when / what ....
I personally would have joined you guys more often but couldn't easily find the info.

It became a mega thread. Couldn't hurt to just start a whole new thread, and ask the mods to sticky it (and lock this one).
We used to meet every Weds night. I think the practice started at like 6:30 central, and the race started around 8:00 central.
It was a fun group and at one point we had over 20 regulars. Life gets in the way though and after a while it dwindled. I added a bunch of guys in our last season from another group (which has its own league) who said they all wanted to participate and I think of the 30+ guys I added, 1 or 2 actually showed up once. I'll go through and clean up the roster for the next guy so it's just RL guys again.
Otherwise running it is pretty self-explanatory. Create a "season" in the league, schedule a race via the League interface, tell everyone when it is... and voila.
