    Is that the Mod bently ? I Tried it after their last update and cant say I liked it very much, Pretty sure there's a few quirks in the Physics/suspension setup they need to figure out.

    Nice Choice on the HUD app, That Tire app in particular is the only one i actually trust, some of the "ac apps" for tires seem wonky.

    Nope, they're "stock" AC cars: Ferrari 458 GT2 in pics and Mercedes SLS AMG GT3 in video.
    That HUD app is the only one I use and trust, sometimes it faults on intermediate/gap times, but it's pretty good overall.

    It's nicer to see and easier to clean; before I had to use vacuum, now a swiffer and I'm done.
    Also, it lacks on the motors side, so I tried to compensate on the aesthetic one.

    My Neice @ 3 likes to "Drive" when ever she hears me racing. she burst in the room and says "My turn to drive" Then proceeds to Crush my junk while standing there jerking the wheel back and forth running the Armco barriers and finding the Roughest parts of track to torture her uncle with. Ahh good times. :grin

    I had an old gamepad I didn't use anymore so I decided to make a buttonbox out of it.
    I bought a plastic box, some buttons, used some wires, a welder...

    Here it is

    Yesterday I got my Oculus Rift DK2.

    A pain in the å$$, since I got Windows 10, but finally I've been able to use it with Assetto Corsa.
    I think I won't be anymore able to go close to my previews lap times, mainly cause I can't clearly see the track in the distance, but that's not a problem: the new experience is worth it. Till now I used to go hot lapping tweaking setups to gain some cents, I'll now enjoy the car with its 3o fuel liters and default setup. Well, at least until Kunos will release an appropriate GUI for OR (let's hope for when CV1 is released).

    I wanted to ask the skilled VR guys here in the forum @noorbeast @SilentChill @Wanegain if they have any tips/suggestions about settings for more enjoying the Rift. I had problems with DirtRally which looked too fake, and pCars & War Thunder that I wasn't even able to make it start...
