@@wirklich_niemand that’s exactly what the shift horizon is good for! The proper setting for that will be different for each person, so you do need to find what feels most natural for you on that setting.

@@juccavtr yep still flat, it is still that way.

@@lincoln2230 so glad to hear it helped you!

@@birdseye2239 yep, the solution is to run your center monitor as 1080p to match, otherwise it will never line up right.

@@robclarkracing So I got it to work on all three monitors equally BUT its so zoomed in I cant see the top bar at all. I think I need to get into the 'options' tab but can't click on it

​@@birdseye2239 Close down the sim and go into Documents > iRacing > rendererDX11Monitor.ini and look for the "UIScalePct" line. You can manually change the value to something like 75 or 100, then save and relaunch the sim. If that doesn't solve what you're describing, join my Discord server discord.gg/jDB84JQDKE and send me a DM, I'd be happy to help troubleshoot there!

So I fixed that but now its still messed up. The driver seat is on the left side of the car so my left monitor is the left window but my right monitor is the second half of the dashboard plus the left window. Im going crazy. Is it really supposed to just work after doing the things you said?

@@birdseye2239 What you're describing sounds correct - you'll see half of the dashboard/windshield and the right side window in your right monitor. Does it look roughly like 6:29 in my video? Your center monitor won't show you your entire dashboard/windshield because the true size of it is much larger than the width of a monitor. If your resolution(s) and measurements are correct, yes my guide is all that's necessary to get the FOV set correctly for a real-life sized view.

For triple 43"s, I would recommend 32-38" (81-96 cm) if possible. You can get away with a farther distance if need be, but you won't be able to get near 180* FOV.

The curved option doesn't work quite right, because it doesn't take into account any angle between your curved monitors. You'll have a small amount of distortion with either flat or curved option if you're using curved screens, but I find it best to use the "3 flat screens" option.

Okay thanks for the Feedback. I have 32“ curved 1500r screens from Aoc. And im new to Iracing. Coming from ACC. I will try to set it up.

You can still use the triangle calculation to determine the angle between the monitors! Just measure the width of both the 34 and 27, plus the diagonal. Also side note, you may need to configure your .ini files to treat your setup as a triple 34” in order for the bezels to be placed correctly.

Try pressing Alt+Enter. If that doesn’t work, you can open Taskbar settings and check the box for “automatically hide the taskbar”

Thanks - glad it helped! You want to run it as triple flat, because iRacing doesn't have an option to account for both monitor angles and curvature. "1500R" curvature actually assumes that the radius of all three monitors combined would be 1500R, not that each individual monitor is 1500R. At 27.5" eye distance, 164* sounds pretty spot on.

@@robclarkracing thanks !! Ive been using 160 and love it !!! Great videos!

Thanks! Had to take a bit away in order to get married + the honeymoon, but I'll be back to Twitch streams and starting on more TH-cam content this week!

Your two options would be to lower your wheelbase, or raise your monitors. Since my wheelbase is already at the correct height, I had to compromise with the monitors and place them higher than ideal (which would be vertically centered with your eyes). That's where the horizon adjustment comes into play.

I think both are great wheels but the features and comfort of the XR outperform the Hyper P1, and it's about $300 cheaper if doing an equal comparison with the carbon fiber paddles and 6-paddle options on the P1. Both are phenomenal build quality, and both look great in my opinion. The larger XR screen is nice to have and I definitely use it more than I used the screen on the P1, plus the integration of Soelpec's software with the screen is awesome to have. Overall I do pick the XR as the winner.

Thanks I’ll go for the soelpec then I’ve been contemplating for a while and I needed some comparison somewhere but your video and comment has help me to decide. Thanks again

This is the best solution I’ve heard of for mismatched sizes and a wide center: you’ll want to set iRacing to run as if it were 3x your wide monitor (10320 x 1440 resolution as if it were 3x 34”). It will have to render all of those pixels but crop out the unused pixels from the 27” sides, so while it’s not ideal for performance, it does still display exactly what you’re looking for.

It was exactly 179, believe it or not. Yes it does max at 179 in the calculator, but you can then use the [ and ] keys while in the car to manually set your correct eye distance and extend beyond 179 if needed.

The calculator will max at 179 but if you use the [ and ] keys to set your proper eye distance once in the car, it will extend beyond 179.

Sure but thats irrelevant. My point is if you determine a value using the iracing calc, its possible the fov is incorrect due to its limit of 179. So i was suggesting using a separate fov calc to check your fov and input that number rather than rely on a possibly faulty calc in the sim.@@robclarkracing

@@Zee20Ate using the keys to set the eye distance in the car will properly calculate the FOV beyond 179. I’m not sure why the in-settings calculator doesn’t just do it as it is, because it is capable. But yes, you can always double check it with a third party calculator

I have 3 of the ASUS TUF Gaming VG32VQ1B. They're a few years old, but still nice. If I were to change monitors, I would try to go for IPS flat panels instead of VA curved.

Check to make sure you still have "Render scene using 3 projections" and "Enable SMP/MVP" enabled, and that your measurements (like screen angle) are entered correctly

thanks that helped, didnt have the render checked for 3 projections, @@robclarkracing

I leave the camera settings at default except for a few cars like the LMP3, where it can be helpful to sit in the center of the car instead of the default position.

(Mostly just copying my response from another comment) I think both are great wheels but the features and comfort of the XR outperform the Hyper P1, and it's about $300 cheaper if doing an equal comparison with the carbon fiber paddles and 6-paddle options on the P1. Both are phenomenal build quality, and both look great in my opinion. The larger XR screen is nice to have and I definitely use it more than I used the screen on the P1, plus the integration of Soelpec's software with the screen is awesome to have. The thumb encoders are much easier to use on the XR, especially with gloves - plus the ability to set two functions to them / overall compact design is great. Overall I do pick the XR as the winner.

Thanks mate Rob, appreciate much. I am more leaning towards Soelpec even before watching your vids coz some youtubers did not mention or compare anything between soelpec and P1. I became more curious when you said on your video that soelpec will be your everyday wheel replacing the p1. hehehe Considering that you have both, if you have time mate make a video comparing those two hehehe. thanks mate.

I do! Here you go: th-cam.com/video/pFIIc6CKeL4/w-d-xo.html

The goal of both methods remains the same (to create a perpendicular viewing angle) but the issue is that calculators will often tell you to set an angle too high and causes distortion in your viewing angle. By manually setting the perpendicular angle, you achieve the same sense of rotation and tire flex you’re speaking of. Inputting my measurements into a calculator produces 62° angle and 187° FOV. While this does produce an accurate FOV, if I used the 62° angle given, it ends up with a warping effect near the intersection.

In fact - I just used 3 different FOV calculators and received 58°, 62°, and 67°. Same calculations into each.

@@robclarkracing do you use the bezel free kit? That causes this issue I believe as the bezel free kit when using curved screens doesn't work correctly. I ended up having to set my side screens to 65 degrees anything any less wouldn't work when using the bezel free kit. I tried the FOV calculator without my bezel free kit and it was perfect no warping at all.

@@Simlife101 I do not. The warping is not in the FOV display itself, it’s in the angle you’re viewing the display panel. It’s not to say FOV calculators cannot be correct; rather that they’re inconsistent depending on which you choose to use, and there’s an easier way to accomplish their goal.

Thanks for adding this! That’s a nice quality of life change
