Hi guys, so, I was surfin the web for enviroments for open world on bike and came accross a load in Assetto Corsa. The bikes physics suck balls in a way but its a blast. Here is my first try in VR with a BMW1000RR, yeah its terrible riding as it seriously aint GPBikes lol. Anywho my point for it is that AC tracks can be converted to GPBikes and its cool to test them before you would and here is the sollution.
I have been having a blast and the fact its great VR and onlinre to or AI makes it something different. I am Hardcore GPBikes but fun is fun and AI and racing cars is a challenge GPBike dont have. Just enjoy the video and laugh at me lol.

Saw this tonight and made me think. All the jokes many used to make about MZ were kinda not fair.

The Missile from the east

Enjoy

Hi guys n gals,

Happy New Year to you all at GPBikes and Mr/Mrs Piboso

Wishing you all a better 2023 and a great future to all.

So just a quick one, but I got asked to make a system for a guy that can now only use his left hand and foot.

There is more to it than you think once you try.

Dang my brain got all mixed up riding with it.

DD

Great news.............

NOW can you sort out that this forum is 99% spam and 1 % posts?

So sorry Piboso but it is a joke as none of the other forums have it and you have not replied to any PMs.

As an old member I am amazed you have allowed it and feel totally neglected.

I am sorry to post it here but you are rarely here and need to fix this please.

I have been patient on this and find it time to act.

PLEASE sort the spam shit out it has destroyed this community

HI guys,

So....for years I wanted to have a simple hall sensor clutch, but because I need a design that is simple, robust and not ugly to start with and then must survive shipping and years of use it has taken a while to get it right. I am looking at making my own helicopter control system and was watchin a video and got an idea..........and it works. I took the principle as I have never really got it right with hall sensor setup but this video gave me an idea.

So, I am having trouble posting pics on the forum for some reason but got a video that shows the basics. I though I would share it so others can use the simple setup with the right cluch lever unit and N50 magnets and a hall sensor.

Leo Bodnar has the best price on the hall sensors and you can find the N50 8mmx5mm round magnets on ebay.

I use a certain design of lever sets and you can find them on ebay too.

Hope this helps someone out.

Hi guys

Hi guys and gals,

So been trying to do videos of my BMU (body motion unit) but having trouble with steam for days, but finally got a better one made. Parts 4 is just to show it but part one really explains it so here is part 4.

Dont judge my riding I am burnt out from the agro I have had with steam and just wanted to get a short video out.

Next one will be on my CBR1000RR sit-on with the buttkicker2 and should be fun.

DD

I Own 2 licence keys but how can I use both if only 1 steam account.

I need to be able to use both so I can have 2 riders in 1 room race each other on my simulator systems.

Steam VR suck massive donkey balls!!! It SUCKS!!!

Since I built a new PC and had to install all new has not been an issue and OpenXR for VR works great but Since I installed GPBikes via Steam I have real agro............Stand alone works fine

1. Simple point, old version would stay fullscreen in VR on my 4K main monitor, now it reduces to a piddly 1080p? So cant record the actual VR view in 4K!!!

2. Steam will just not always load controller, where the stand alone always does

3. SteamVR demands a lower resolution than OpenXR and is still shite

4. SteamVR is so fussy to set up and often while steam decides it needs to update it screws your settings..........start again with the crap setting

5.SteamVR causes WMR users to run 2 programs where openXR you only need the WMR Portal

6. Steam takes control of how you setup your games and anything concerned with them!!! .....Hence VR sucks

7. OpenXR is Heaven

8. Any help to sort it out would make me your best mate...........pretty please

Sorry but Steam is like Milestone, monopilizing the industry and only for themselves not us and they just think about console users and gamepads not real simmers like us..........shame

Plain and simple anyone know how as it has not been posted that it is easy to find and I cant ride online with mods in beta 19b with friends so..............PIBOSO please post a clear and difinitive way to have mods in beta20!!!

How do we install mods now???

Not a happy bunny as you have not posted how to do this and I cant use my last beta where I can use mods to race online

Sereously not happy too little info so please post a full way to go from non steam to steam or even non steam with mods or I am stuck using it offline and after paying twice not happy

DD

Edit........... So it seems system reboot and more involved but bikes from beta 19b dont work in 20 as selecting one and thats YOUR GP1000 that worked in b19b dont work now? Sorry but we need solid info not just a bit of it.

Thanks for the update but dude you need to really keep on the ball with this for us that have been here 11 year!!!

OH and defo have to say Happy Christmas and wonderful new year ..............even if I is a bitchin

Hi guys, so my Windows Mixed Reality Portal Mirror is not working and cant find out how to turn it back on. It was working but due to updates it is no longer working so cant record my headset view for youtube anymore.

Any help?

DD

Tried IOM TT2 in VR lastnight and LOVE it but steam is only way to mirror for VR as my WMR portal is not mirroring for some reason so bit of a bummer. Heres a video anyways.

The last Windows update messed a few things up and cuts x360 out once in a while so I end up eating bushes!!!

Hi Guys

So, as we are still in lockdown and all struggling I decided to start a 2021 Developement thread.

This year I will be designing and building a full FFB Directdrive and Realistic and Moderate motion Sit-On system and changing the design of the Desktop system.

I am also updating with the Body Motion Unit (BMU) for rider control and hopefully more.

To Start with here are a few pics of where I work from last week.







And a sneak peek at the Yamaha R1 I am just building




As it has no fender or swingarm I used the stickers to jazz it up a bit as thats what Randall wants.

More to come...........Watch this space lol

DD

Hi Guys

Anyone know how to share pics from Mega on Piboso forum???

I can do it from Mediafile so it shows in the post without clicking on just a link but not with Mega

DD

Hi Guys

So its been a while and am so busy I just forget to do stuff and not posted a video here in a while so thought I need to start again.

First one up is me testing the Yamaha R1/M1 Sit-On Hs3 PRO-HE in VR and trying the great mods from you guys. I yak for the first 8 mins so fast forward it if you want to shut me up a bit lol.

Thanks to all you modders you make GPBikes what it is.

So all riding is in default settings on all bikes and sometimes gets squirly lol

I love the HP Reverb G2 VR unit it frickin rocks and never feel one bit queezy even after a case of beer (found that out new years eve lol)

Hope you enjoy me making a fool of myself, I never said I could ride a bike lol

Hi Guys and Gals...

I have run out of space on both servers for database so just had to start a new PAID account with Mega today. I will be updating links as soon as I figure the best way to do things.

For now the paid account is for the bikes, helmets and paints and I will transfer the 200+ tracks to it a bit at a time so in the end ALL mods will be on ONE database.

Track database will stay up but slowly be put on the same one as the rest of the mods as I am busy and cant just sit here doing it.

I have no income right now and am paying per month so hoping things pick up as short on money.

Sorry but best I can do

DD

HI guys so first big problem is the centering in VR. When I press the button for centering GPBikes brings up a 2D screen and puases the sim and you then have to press continue to get back and it takes forever to get the right position.

Also can we also get it so that we can fine tune using the Shift - C and up/down arrows so we can assign them to a button as in VR its a real pain using key combos.........or did I miss something?

Otherwish............DANG it feels good in VR

Thanks Piboso

DD

Hi, Im sorry but I am now sick and tired that having to run 2 databases and getting bugger all help from modders to keep up to date.

I do this for YOU!!!

All I ask is send me direct links NOT bloody Discord links as it is a problem on my PC and I should not have to search for updates to help you all

I AM BUSY and have a life but try to help keep a place for all mods but it is getting a real pain to do so.

If I cant get help I will just shut the servers down as now they are nearly full at over 100GB and it will cost me money to continue.

Sorry but it needs to be done.
