Re: PC Sim Racing What does the weight penalty do? Add weight to faster guys I assume? No interest in VRC here, hell I barely do any real RC anymore. |
Re: PC Sim Racing yes |

Re: PC Sim Racing Lap Time Challenge (better late than never) :mrgreen: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Hx1wXg9LIpU/maxresdefault.jpg Proto GT Corvette @ Spa (this weeks official race) Base Line tune, no Tuning or tweaking Temp 78F, 55% Humidity, 2 mph wind, N, Partly Cloudy Track State 100% Usage Due Monday night at 7pm New! Gonna try a weight penalty system out (top right of tune screen) Tommy +250kg Steve +125kg everyone else 0kg lets see how that pans out, If it swings the lap times too far the other way we can adjust as needed. "thumbsup" Note: with the extra weight you will need to adjust the spring perch height (not rate) because it will be too low and wont pass tech. Good luck everyone! |
Re: PC Sim Racing Caution: Rant to follow. Proceed at your own discretion. I know I'm an iRacing newbie. I really like the game, but it's so overpriced. I got a year for around $50 during the special. Regular price is $100 which I would never pay to license a game for one year that I can't even play after it expires. On top of that often when I want to race I'm required to buy a new car class or a track. $12 a pop is ridiculous and I'm not sure how this business model ever survived. |
Re: PC Sim Racing I felt the same way when I was getting started. You have to keep in mind a few things; one, they laser scan the cars and tracks so they're as accurate as possible. That does NOT come cheap for them to do. In addition to that, the amount of people online racing is second to none. That means backend server and bandwidth costs, both of which are also not cheap. iRacing is $11 a month, that's cheaper than going to a movie for me, and I get a whole month of entertainment from it. I only have about six months in it so far, and I've probably spent around $400. Some of it because I had to in order to progress, some of it because I wanted it. There is simply no other online race sim experience that rivals it IMO, but YMMV. |
Re: PC Sim Racing Just bought iracing a few days ago. Any recommendations for starting up? And for what its worth, I do have some "sim" experience from playing Gran Turismo... |

Re: PC Sim Racing I was never interested in VR until I realized it could be used for simulation racing. Don't make me want a VR headset! :lmao: I kind of think it would give me motion sickness though. I don't know. I've always gotten motion sickness, but after about two handfuls of concussions I'm even more sensitive to it. |
Re: PC Sim Racing nice! im anxious to do some more RR, i want to see what the new Challenge combos are and try more cars"thumbsup" |
Re: PC Sim Racing CF race recap. did the practice race with the guys monday night and did really well. all the fast guys were complaining and struggleing. i ended up finished 2nd:shock: Tuesday night was the official race and i was feeling good. recap: ironically even though all the fast guys were complaining, i actually felt really comfortable at Zolder. Had high hopes of a decent finish due to attrition. I was really quick under braking and in the 2nd gear tight stuff. not so much on the sweepers and exits. unfortunatly i got a alignment adjustment on the first cornerhttp://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...ies/frown5.gif. The "recreated" iracing replays dont show the severity of the hit or damage, but my wheel was cocked 20* and i couldnt turn right. could hardly see over the dog house in the fender. was gonna pit, but i missed the entrance/spaced out on lap 2, so i decided the repairs would cost me way more time than the 1-2 seconds per lap. so i stayed out. ran a perfect race after that loved the combo though, maybe next year my "alignment adjustment" in the red snap on Merc on Turn 1, Lap 1 :cry: <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pNXBo6ixvsU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Re: PC Sim Racing my best run (3:27) from the group lap challenge last night Commentary by Tommy and Randy:mrgreen: and Tommy check out what tires are on it...pretty cool. <iframe width="1280" height="720" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/oCo0piXyOyA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> as you can see from the mistakes, it was far from perfect, and you can tell from the exhaust how timid i was being.:oops: |
Re: PC Sim Racing I did notice the tires!! "thumbsup" And I still say you were cheating. :flipoff: |
Re: PC Sim Racing duh! |
Re: PC Sim Racing I wasn't aware my hillbilly ass was being recorded. :mrgreen: So who's got the top time so far? I had a 3:25.8 at one point, but I think Cory had a lower 3:25.something. Oh yeah, I'll just leave this here... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MIyDdeZfPH0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
Re: PC Sim Racing i think your in the lead, i believe my best was a 3:27. i wonder if dirt 4 will be arcady like all the other Dirts? i gotta say i dont care for the cars shown, except the old red evo. i dont like any of the modern rally cars. the buggys look cool, and im always a fan of pro2/4 trucks although they didnt show any. for some reason im not excited about it. the night time graphics did look amazing though. but could be cutscene, not gameplay? |
