We propose to race this track during day time for 2021 due to the light flickering and issues with shadows at night.

Hi,

Very nice set of tracks available on this site. A great deal of detail has gone into their making.

I did notice however that in VR I am experiencing a lot of dropped frames (visual stutters) yet the FPS is always above 90 which is odd. This makes it difficult to enjoy these tracks in VR. My PC is quite recent and is able to handle all rfactor2 default tracks without any issues (i7 10th gen, RTX3070, 32GB ram). This happens even when setting all graphics options to low/off. It appears to be worse when there are buildings in view.

Is this something the authors are aware of? Is there something that could be done to improve the experience in VR?

Best,

A

Hi Alexandre,

All of the tracks that are published on our website are done by other developer groups that we credit in the download info.

This issue that you are having with VR, is it just for this Bahrain track? I ask because we have other guys racing with VR and haven't heard the same issues you are having

I do know that this track has issues at night, I suspect it has to do with the lighting.

Hi Janos,

Thanks for the quick reply. My issue seems track dependent and mostly affects tracks with a high number of buildings (e.g. Bahrain, Abu Dhabi). Oddly enough, the problem is there even when track details are set to low. However, I found a workaround that helps reduce dropped frames. Windows Mixed Reality (my type of VR headset) has released its own version of Oculus' Asynchronous Space Warp (ASW), a type of image smoothing, which is quite effective. It took me a while to figure out how to enable this feature as you have to mess with config files, but now that it is, the problem is mostly gone.
