My PC has been due an upgrade for a while now, and is finally giving up, resulting in me wanting to go with a high end vr capable machine.
As a result I was wondering what VR headsets are compatible with GPB, and which ones are best? Was going to go with a Vive, but the oculus seems to be the most common one for GPB?

A quick livery of Jonas Folgers yamaha in the end of season test at Valencia.
With the release of the yamaha official test suit, and the HJC helmets being available, The only part missing was the bike and its a fairly simple design to make.

Where do I get a sky-dome from, and how do I integrate this Into 3DS max?
Also, when I export a track and load it into trackED, the track itself is tiny, like in-order to make a corner with the center-line it has to be something like 0.001 length, and 0.75r. Is this normal or do I need to change the 3DS track scaling before the export?

Any help would be appreciated as I've finished the track editing now and am close to actually doing something meaningful with it in GPB. (I hope LOL)

When Installing some rider paints I couldn't help but notice there was an 'Animations' Folder, with all the riding styles in it, and was wondering if this is a hint to the riding styles becoming adjustable, or if they already are to some degree?

I am attempting to convert a track, and there are so many individual objects that have to be renamed, I was just wondering what happens if they don't get renamed? Do they bug out or just not show up in game eventually?

Just curious as to people's fav bikes/tracks to ride in GPB, and if people would be interested in a championship with the most popular bike and tracks?
personally I like the British tracks and a decent 600, but that's not to everyone's taste and it'll be interesting to see what people actually want to ride for others to see

Proper penalties for jumping the start, such as a ride through would also be a lovely addition, rather than instant DQ, as it kills the immersion and just wouldn't happen IRL. This has to be my biggest gripe.
I can recall the last SRC 600 race at Jerez, I was in N, with the brake pressed, and apparently I jumped the start as I clicked it into first, despite the brake being held and the clutch fully in, and didn't move at all. A ride through would have been reasonably acceptable, rather than a DQ and missing the entire race :/

Most club race series race with numbers up to around 999, and maybe more. (There's someone at my local track who uses something like 1691)
I personally would like to see the option to have more numbers officially in GPB, sure you can put whatever number you want on your bike skin, but adding the ability to have this supported in game menus and on result sheets would be awesome.
I'm also aware that modern GP's don't use this format, so can understand the reluctance to put it in, but it would be a nice touch and shouldn't be to hard to do?

I've recently started using first person in GPB, and to get it to where I'm relatively comfortable I've hooked up my TrackIR with a custom sensitivity/movement profile for GPB, and it works really well for the most part. However I have noticed a few 'oddities' here and there and was wondering if there was any way to overcome them or more fidelity in the camera controls in the files somewhere?

The main issue I have is the automatic camera movement, for instance when I tuck my rider forward or back, the first person camera moves up and down automatically, which often puts me inside the fuel tank, or miles in the air, which is a slight issue when it comes to seeing where I'm going. I was wondering if there's any way to turn it off, as I can't see any in the menus?

To combat this, I use the second-first person view (if that makes sense), which works a treat with TrackIR, and is actually really immersive. Well as immersive as I can get without VR and one of those fancy handlebar controllers. The issue I have with this view is that there seems to be a vertical limit on movement, (I think the view is supposed to be a static camera w/out TrackIR?), and the result is I can't sit out of the screen on most sporty/racing bikes. Again I was wondering if there was any way to edit this, as again I couldn't see any in the in-game menus?

The only solution I've found so far is to use the 'rider tracking' option, which uses the TrackIR (or other Tracking software) to control rider lean. I'm not a big fan of using this as I struggle to set it up, as the rider only seems to respond to very extreme head movements.

Any tips would be appreciated

Conversion Issues:

I am tyring to convert a track from rfactor to GPB, and after I do the export from 3dsimed and load it into blender/3ds max it removes all the textures completely, and 3ds max crashes upon loading the dae file, so i had to use the 3ds file just to get it to load.

Ive been attempting to follow this tutorial, however Idk if its a difference in software or what, but it doesnt seem to like anything I do.

Suggestions are always helpful.

I get a connection timeout whenever I try to click the button to load the 'world' servers. It was fine yesterday, so I was wondering if anyone has this issue or if the master server is down etc etc. any solutions would be nice

I was reading the Isle of Man TT thread in the Track mods, and sort of got onto a train of thought about attempting to port over the tracks from the Jester Interactive games into GPB.
I have managed to extract the files from the ISO I downloaded, and think I have narrowed it down as to which files are for which tracks.

I have entered the 'LUMPS' folder, which is an acronym for LMP files, which are 3d CAD files from what I can see, and require opening using a 3d modeling software, the recommended one being 'ARCHICAD'. This seems to be the format for the models and tracks in the Jester Game.

I was wondering if there is an extension for 3ds Max or Blender to use those instead, as I have even less of an Idea about ARCHICAD.
Should this be possible surely it wouldn't be that difficult to add in some extra alterations to allow it to function in GPB?

The jester version, while it is old, lacks some of the tiny details that the modern game has, which should help with compatibility and FPS?

If someone can get this to open in either 3ds Max or blender it could open up the entire Jester games for both Bikes and tracks, completing a reborn nostalgia trip, and giving some relatively well done road race tracks into GPB.

Any advice or offers to look into it for me would be absolutely Lovely 

Until then, I'll keep looking into it a little more.

I was wondering if there's a sound mod for the stock gp1000 bike to make it into the v5 configuration?

Just wondering when creating a track in race track builder, do I select the target as 'Assetto Corsa', 'Rfactor 2', or 'None'. Would I need to convert it from Assetto Corsa or RF2 and if so how does one do that as well?
Thanks 

I have been wanting my local track in any game for a while now, and gpbikes seems the best option, as I prefer bikes over cars. I started to make the track, but after several wrubbish squiggles in race track builder on Steam I got absolutely nowhere. I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to make the track, or at least a tutorial as to making a track, which I can follow along to. It's only a small track, less than a mile, so I should imagine the work needed to be still significant, but not as large as many of the GP circuits. The track is three sisters in Wigan if any one is interested 😁 like I said I would do it myself but I'm not very good at this whole doodle track thing

I have been having issues loading Donnington NDS and Oulton Park NDS with a core crash on any layout. i have tried both with the stock bikes and riders, so it is definitely the track mods that are causing the issue. I have had this issue since beta 11, and was hoping it was going to be fixed with the new update. I have no idea if certain files need adding/editing/moving, and really want these tracks to work as I love them. I have re-downloaded the latest versions from the track MOD database several times and this doesnt seem to fix it. Any advice would be welcome. 
Thanks in advance

I have been having issues loading into the sim, after selecting any modded bike. The bike doesn't appear to load in the background of the menus, and then when I click start I get a Core Crash. I don't know what would be causing it, and am looking for any suggestions, or should I just do a clean install of all the bikes?
Thanks in advance

I painted my own skins for the leathers and helmet. I then saved them as a TGA file and converted them to a PNT file as is required with PaintEd, however, when I put the file in the relevant paints folder, they are selectable in the menus, but the paint doesn't show up on the rider, just keeping the last selected skin or the default one. I'm really confused as to what is wrong, as I had already tested them in game, and they were working fine before this, and I've not changed my method.
