UI Distance in iRacing with Pimax

Pimax 8K Series
1

Hello Fellow Sim Racers,

For those who runs with iRacing, how do you adjust the UI distance? that meaning the FPS/Lap&section time/track warning etc etc. Those are super tiny and far away in pimax probably due to the large FOV?
I did check out this video here but it’s a bit outdated. iRacing removed some setting for OpenVR like “UIScreenSize” and “UIScreenDistance”. Those two options actually get deleted from setting files as soon as I start the sim. Although locking the file to read-only keep them from getting delete, changing the value for those did nothing for me. Any ways to fix this?

Thanks!

PS, I also use the iRacing beta UI, it’s also superwide and super far. but I change the UI scale to 200% so its actually not as bad…

i didnt play iracing for some time because i dont have my pimax yet, but isnt there a ui scale option in the ingame graphic setting. should be below the resolution

yes! I actually found this setting right after I made the post. and I also found the setting option in the setting file under Graphics Options. And I tried to set it too 300% because even 200% is still too far and get “embedded” in the car. But saddly it seems 200% is the max. set it to 300% doesnt seem to override the setting

weird that no other said something about the ui, only reading that iracing runs great. even watched someone on twitch.
i dont know how the devs respond to requests but maybe you can create a post on the iracing forums and ask to get more scaling options for pimax ;D

FPS is good now that I can actually see it. I have 1080Ti and it’s at 90FPS. But I haven’t try any race with opponents yet.

i just got my pimax and kinda see now what you ment. my problem is not the distance though, its not being able to move the ui boxes. they are all in the middle and you cant move them away theres some invisible wall
