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 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

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.

DD

Hi guys

So just installed new driver and when I set GPB to 4k it has 1920 x 1080 in red letters not seen this before and cant get it to read as it should for 4k?

Any ideas

DD

OKAY I get it you use Discord for everyone BUT for me and the database it is making my life hell to keep upto date.

PLEASE ALL MODDERS send me DIRECT links for downloading so I know when you update or make a new mod.

Discord is a pain in the arse for me to keep track of and I dont have time I am VERY BUSY.

I do this for the whole community but need some help so...............SEND ME DIRECT LINKS PLEASE

Just PM me a link so I can be upto date on the databases and yes I have 2 with 100GB of mods..........Help me help you

Thanks DD

Is GPBikes able to use a Buttkicker as it seems KRP is compatible with Simhub and Simvibe?

Thanks for any info

DD

Hi to all

Ok its a bit different from most posts but its about how GP Bikes is the ONLY simulation that can be used to not just having fun but also to learn.

I think it is ok to show this and the University to use GPB in this way as it is not for the public but for study. I have asked the Uni to include that they use GP Bikes by Piboso when they update the page and they will but for now I just wanted to share that GP Bikes is so much more than just what most use it for,

I must thank Piboso for making this possible, it may help many people if used correctly, who knows?

This is just the start page of the Uni study:

Technische Universität Darmstadt



This is Otilia a very inteligent young lady that is studying the effects of riding a bike on people and needs to learn herself the stress of riding a bike, the Uni uses real riding of real bikes and the riding of a simulator together so not just on my system and gpb but they set up the system to match the real bike then do tests that could be a problem with safety on a real bike without the danger.

I am at present building the BMW S1000RR sit-on for them as the desktop set was just to get things started.

This is a WIP of the Sit-on





This is only the start of the uses for GP Bikes and I hope Piboso realises what he has made and continues to work on it.

I am trying my best to get to the point of FFB and motion but costs are a bummer right now. All the systems I make for Universities and other reasons (spoiler alert) are to be able to eventually be able to get the system where it needs to go.

As for FFB, working on Direct Drive sit-on with a cool dude outta Germany so things may change soon and that makes things like the studies for Universities and YOU guys even better.

So.......know its not ya norm thing but wanted you all to know that GP Bikes is so much more thatn you think, thank Piboso for a brilliant product and all the modders for the brilliant content that makes GP Bikes what it is for us all.

FYY My system in the Malaysian Uni using GPB got Best of Best in Asia and that was back in 2016.......GP Bikes needs to get more publicity and I cant do it alone.
