Quote from DeKo :

Anyway, I'm calling bullshit on cancelling accounts for swearing, no chance they will follow through, and if they do, they're a joke. All the exploiting and dodgy behaviour that's been going on (which iRacing have generally been ignoring) should be more of a priority than almost meaningless words.

Spot on

Quote from anttt69 :

Care to expand on that?, for those of us who do not have access to the IR forum. thx

Any more swearing or abusive behaviour on the forums or on track and they will cancel your account. Apparently.

EDIT. Beaten to it again...

Guess I'll end up doing a 3-monther then. Also considering just staying subscribed until the new LFS physics are released.

You might be interested in a 2 year subscription then......

lol. it's ok, Barca would need all the support they can get if we were to play them.

oh, touché

Quote from dadge :

lol. same here. (UTD fan).

You can guarantee if it had been your shower I'd would have been giving it full beans for Barca

Great game. Full respect to Arsenal, they had a cracking second half.

As a Liverpool supporter it's not often I get over excited about other English teams, but I was cheering as much as if it had been Liverpool in that game.

Good luck in the second leg Gooners

Cheers Tristan, always nice to hear your opinion. I trust your judgement more than a certain other person

No, there is no drying line yet. I read somewhere that Kunos intends to introduce a more dynamic weather system in future builds... to the point that it can be raining at one end of the circuit and wet at the other.

Cant remember where I read it I'm afraid so I cant link to it.

Quote from sluggy :

Sorry I'm relatively novice, here.

Dont worry..I was being sarcastic

Intrepid does race Karts though.


I like the wet weather, it's well done and lots of fun, but I'm not entirely convinced about the grip levels either, especially at the front end. I do love the feel of the rear end squirming about in the puddles though.

As a first attempt it's pretty good though. It'll be interesting to see how Kunos develops the weather.

I'm interested to hear what Tristan has to say about the wet weather.

Quote from sluggy :

2. Are you professional racer or do you have any experience with real life racing?

He's the worlds greatest living authority on Karting.....

Quote from BlueFlame :

There's no need to fanboy it, we all know YOU find the game fine.

I'm not "fanboying" it. Just stating the facts.

You whingers will always find something to moan about though, despite the fact that a simple fiddle with the sound sliders will solve the issue. In the time it took to come here and write a post you could have turned the skid slider down. Problem solved.

Quote from BlueFlame :

but then you don't know there the limit is

I didn't say turn it off did I?

Just play with the sounds until you have a nice balance. I have no problem getting all the feedback I need from the sound.

Quote from dadge :

nice video but the skidding sounds would do my head in.

unless of course you turn the skid noise down.....

What are they thinking about!

Steer well clear of rookie races for a while then. It's going to be a wreckfest.

Did they not learn their lesson after the last time they did a free month trial?
All it will do is put people off iRacing.

Fix for online crash to desktop

" In order to stop crashing to desktop ,try this : right click on netKar PRO_NT.exe and then compatibility and choose "run this program in compatibility mode -> windows vista (service pack 2). Also choose the "Disable visual themes" and "Disable dekstop composition".

Works with Win 7 64bit. Don't know about other O/S

Quote from tristancliffe :

NetKar is so realistic that the tyres are changed to wets automatically. You can't even try dry tyres on a damp track. Think of nKP as a very strict race engineer..

To be fair..it doesn't give you wets until you are on the 5th click in the weather settings. You most certainly will have slicks on a damp track

Invisible walls... off the racing surface on the hillclimb I suppose is what you mean? I thought originally that you meant on the track...so I can live with that

Quote from hyntty :

iRacing is the biggest ripoff ever and it's not even a good simulator and a rubbish game and I hate it and I feel cheated by you lot all saying it's awesome which it ****ing isn't.

Thanks for the laugh.

Quote from BlueFlame :

funny, I don't see a bug report forum anywhere, not even on the 'official' netkar forum.

Your not looking hard enough.

Quote from JasonJ :

So add better net code to that list?

Indeed.

I see people moaning about iRacings netcode, but it's by far the best I've come across. I'm more than happy racing very close to 300ms ping guys. As close as I'd race someone on a LAN.

I've also only ever suffered 3 phantom 4x hits in my entire time at iRacing, and they were all in the same race

Quote from sil3ntwar :

Invisible walls make me sad

Invisible walls are back? Not come across any yet myself, but it would help if you said where they are, preferably with a pic, so they can be reported in the bug forum.


Lots of CDT problems online, and no way to turn off auto clutch in the Vintage seem to be the main bugs reported so far.

I'm in love with the Osella. Fantastic car. Sliding around Aviano in the rain is putting a massive grin on my face.

The Hillclimb is awesome. Looks stunning as well.

Hmm, not sure what's going on there DWB, I cant remember the last time I locked the brakes in iRacing

I set my brake curve separately for each car and it's fine. I am using the Nixim mod in my pedals though, so i have to give it some serious force to get near to locking up really.

Quote from anttt69 :

If you can justify a $300 ($600 with oval cont) racing sim whilst comparing to LFS i will eat my hat.

I can justify it because I'd rather spend good money on something I will use every day than spend very little on something that is gathering dust and hasn't been fired up for at least 18 months.


Driver swaps are coming http://members.iracing.com/jfo ... t/50/1452476.page#3120825

Driver animations would be great, but as they are only useful for replays I can live without them for the time being. Hardly a deal breaker (and they don't look that good in LFS anyway.. much prefer them in nkPro)

Brakes overheating... Does LFS have this? Its so long since I fired it up I cant remember.. I certainly don't remember it ever happening to me.

Clutch overheat.. Ok, you got me on this one. That's one plus in LFS' favour

Live tyre temps/wear... Riiight.. like that's realistic No thanks, I prefer it the way iRacing does it.
