Scratch the last couple posts. I remembered that I had a Saris Bones 2 that I had not tried properly. Here's hoping they let me return the hitch.

It's black powder coated.

Just ordered mine in silver and the hitch is going in next week (installer was crazy busy).

Happy belated birthday!

Going to get my car setup like this. Looking forward to taking my bike to work again. You can't see it in that picture but the hitch is super hidden:

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!

It is a rare time when I am the less geeky side of any disagreement. Thanks for this aura if relative coolness Brent.

You really think they'll kill Flickr?

Luckily Dirt Rally has online events...

Anyone up for playing Project Cars tonight?

Nope, says he's too cool

Jeff nerding out playing Dirt Rally.

I had planned on getting the external mic adapter and a small external mic to put in the cabin after my last session autocrossing but I forgot. Not planning to do another session for a while (my wife was supportive but not happy) so there's no rush I guess.

I let instructors drive the car on both courses and as expected they beat my "average" run but I actually managed to beat their times by a few seconds in both cases. I am sure with more time for them to get familiar that would not have held but it felt pretty good.

Had some fun today. Too much time/money compared to just playing on the computer with the rig I'll be honest. Definitely makes me know how to handle this car though.

Room EQ Wizard is free and good for room measurements.

Thanks everyone. I got to the doctor a bit ago and the hole is small. Should be back to normal in 2 weeks or so. Fingers crossed. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

After a night of hell with an ear ache I woke up around 5am with a ruptured ear drum. Here's hoping it heals OK. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Yup I should never trust Nvidia to optimize shit. This was all due to their geforce experience turning on that setting. I reset it to defaults by deleting the setting xml files and everything appears to be fine. Anyway I can now play without being annoyed but I hope that they fix it.

Interesting. I figured mine out and I need to set shadow details to off and all is well. Not sure what the fuck the problem is but apparently others suffer too.

You should try it out. Much better than Project Cars graphics optimization wise. I spent about 30 min trying to get Project Cars to not have a lot of artifacts for me but it does. In particular sometimes surface textures go wonky and shadows do really weird things.Do you notice anything?

I am home dealing with some car issues and I just tried Dirt Rally out in VR. It is incredible and the graphics are insane. I have been having a lot of shadow artifacts and distracting other crap with Project Cars but this looks amazing. On a side note Assetto Corsa also looks better than Project Cars in VR but is not "just play" friendly with how the setups have to be done etc.

Good luck with that. That is a metric fuck ton of pixels to render.

The Dirt Rally Oculus CV1 update is scheduled for release Monday. This feels like Christmas.
