Re: 60 FPS is faster also on traction

@MaegnysWhen they will fix the 60 fps issue with the kerbs they will also almost surely fix all the other issues tied with lowering/rising the fps on the physics' model, since they are all likely correlated. There are clearly some parts of the physics' model (as suspensions) that are still tied to fps instead than running at a constant hz (as the other parts are); they are much probably old remnants of code for when all the physics model ran on fps.

IMO the new patch is taking longer just because they are fixing this issue (along some others) in preparation of the esports championship.

@MaegnysI hope too, since this issue has ampler ramifications than it may seem, since it also, for example, impacts the VR experience because the less refresh rate a headset has and the less fps you will have and the less fps you have the more latency and shaking you will experience given this issue.

One has only to try to run a G2 at 60hz instead of 90hz to notice how huge the impact of fps has on how smooth the experience feels just because of the impact on physics. At 60hz there's so much latency and shaking to make you disoriented in just a couple of minutes; it's almost impossible to play at 60fps in VR because the impact of low fps on physics is even more evident there.

So this issue of part of the physics being tied to fps has ramifications in a lot of things, many of which we probably don't even know and yet they impact the driving experience.

oh my god, that´s is true? i´m always played on 120hz, and have a little difficulties with traction (traction off on mine g27)

I played for few evening using 60fps and then changed back to 200fps+ and frankly, I didn't notice any change with the traction. I'm not top-100 TT player though.

Alex Gillon is though and as noted above he didn't notice a difference either.

This is the law of retaliation for me, I've played at 60 fps for years, as soon as I switched to a better monitor here we are! 🥳

I didn't try a full comparison on my side (playing on PS5 at 120 fps currently), I must admin I 'felt' something 'easier' at 60 fps but I immediately started to 'suffer' the lower refresh, my eyes no longer accepted it (incredible to say because when I went to 120 I didn't feel such a difference improving), so I gave up, even if honestly half a tenth in Time Trial maybe it makes me enter the Top 100 on some tracks, so I hope it will be fix soon.

P.S.: should the leaderboard be wiped after the fix, for example in Monza?

@Ultrasonic_77Has he only just discovered he’s in the top 1% cause he seems to be shoehorning the fact at every opportunity. But the OSD amount off time and effort and detail he puts in his videos. I expect his he’s tried and tested it every game car and sim rig setting and setup to perfection

I was just thinking of the video where Ben Daley was driving on Alex's rig and the TT leaderboard positions they achieved popped up. I've not watched all of Alex's video though so I may have not come across the 'shoehorning' 🙂.

@ScarDuck14I don't actively follow Alex but he is certainly one of the better youtubers in F1 games out there. If I'm not mistaken, he generally favors offline single player modes. There was even a panel on Overtake channel with him and Kiefer way back in June this year and they commented on their preferences.
