Tucker Says What Mike Thinks about Large Monitors
David Tucker Posts:
There is some evidence from the professional simulation world that larger screens set farther back are better for immersion, even when you have everything setup so you see the same FOV and have the same degrees per pixel density (pixels per degree?). Mostly this has to do with your eyes being more relaxed and relying less on parallax so they loose a sense of distance. But I also think it is less sensitive to head movement and that makes it feel more real. I don’t think it is a huge difference, but it is better.

Results
NASCAR iRacing Series
Friday Open – New Hampshire
- Mike – P7- pretty good race, uneventful for me stayed in the top 10 basically by the end I was in the top three or four for the green white checkers, but didn’t do very good on those and fell the seventh.
- Tony -Pscrew New Hampshire. I stayed away from this awful track. Can anyone name a good NH race that wasn’t wet?
- David- parked it early cause I took out a teammate. It was unintentional, I turned sooner than Justin, but I can only guess I didn’t brake at the right time because I was beside him when I didn’t want to be and he came down not expecting me to be there. Worst I’ve probably ever felt in iRacing.
- Justin-wrecked out early
- John -P 10
- Brad – P17 after starting p6. Race was good for the first half and then it was a wreck fest. Was caught up in everyone else’s mess. Finished with 22x. Race craft is gone.
Sunday Open – New Hampshire
- David – P 22
- Brad – P18 after starting p14. Ran in the top 10 virtually all the race until getting pushed up off of T4 into the wall with about 27 to go that resulted in damage and poor finish. Was in top split and looking to gain a ton of points. Super frustrated to run an hour and a half clean to end up wrecked again.
Wednesday Open – Nashville
- Mike- dq’d out actually no damage never ran higher than 19th
- Justin – P up!
- Brad W – P10, started p9. Ran around the top 10-12 all night. Had the race ran green till the end I think I was good for a p8. Had a couple late yellows and the car did not have enough fire off speed to hold positions. Happy with a top 10 but felt like I left some on the table.
- Tony P17 just was slow and couldn’t get the car loose enough fast enough. Only 2 cautions and 130 laps green in the end.
- Chris W – P16. Screen froze around lap 1 that sent me to the back with no damage. Road around the back trying to figure Nashville out. A few cautions late in the race and hard driving got me to 16th. .
Thursday Open – Nashville
- Mike- P wrecked out in the First caution some guy came up across my nose, too much damage to drive it
- David – P20, Fell to back early avoiding, flipped track position to get back to the middle. Top split. Annoyed with 4x’s coming on minimal touches on restarts. It’s supposed to be heavy contact.
Official Series
IndyCar IRacing Series –
- Ellis– P wrecked out. Just started my third set of tires from P9 and got wrecked on my out lap and then as I lifted it to Pitt Road some guy intentionally drove it in there and wrecked me real bad.
FIA F4
- Ellis – mid Ohio was in a battle for the lead and got my winging taken off. Had to pit for repairs, P6 finished P5.
- Qualified second-place winner, chicken dinner! 101st career win
- Top split qualified 11th got wrecked on the first lap fitted for repair and worked my way back up to 11th
- Qualify third. Got to the lead, but spun myself out, ended up with a slowdown and another spin out and fell back to P6.
- Qualified 14th finish 14th spun a couple times on my own. I got to quit doing that.
A Open
- Brad W – P5 (Nashville) started p3 and was in top 5 all race. Really tried to take care of the car and was able to keep leaders in sight. Had a 65 lap run to the finish and struggled towards the end. Was clean the entire race until getting doored coming to the checkered. SR has been on a slide the last two weeks.
IMSA
- Brad – P14 (GTD Algarve) This track is a challenge with the amount of elevation changes and double apex corners. Had made it into top 10 until miss judging a passing GTP turn in point for a corner. Got yelled at as usual even though I apologized. Committed to run this entire season every week a I want to continue to get better at sports cars and road racing.
