Chill out Moose your not on the endangered list yet.
I know what will cheer you up "i got slaughtered in the nkpro comp", although i did set some new pbs.

nKPro comp? I know nothing about it ...well done on the PB's though Why you would think that you getting slaughtered in it would cheer me up though i have no idea.


Fair enough on the "you have said some positive things about iRacing" though .. All i noticed (here and in other forums..I've just been reading a thread at RD ) is you moaning about the price...constantly. The positive stuff must have got lost in the tide of negativity about money. Let it go

It's not even that expensive any more, and if you plan your purchases well you hardly notice it. Subscription prices are far better than when i first tried it a year ago, and whilst paying for your first full season can be a bit pricey, after that it's a pretty cheap hobby.

I can totally understand if you think it's not value for money for you, but stop banging on about it.

Opeth - The Night and the Silent Water (live)

Opeth - Bleak

Brutal and beautiful....

Have you got anything positive to say in this thread?

He's not mad. If he can afford it what business is it of yours?

At least from now on he'll get a 25% discount on everything..gotta be worth it if you're in it for the long run.

Quote from Intrepid :

hehe I don't even count 1966 as a win. Home advantage nullifies any achievement

I've heard some shit in my time, but this takes prize.

Let's put it in perspective though..

It's a friendly..no one ever plays that well in meaningless friendlies. Only three weeks until the world cup, so no one bothers closing down and tackling hard as they want to avoid any risk of injury.

Our defence looked poor, but we'll have Terry and Ashley Cole back for the real thing... Baines was so out of his depth..than god he's only our backup. We should definitely be stronger there for the real thing.

Lampard will be back, so that should boost the midfield. Hopefully Carrick wont even make the final squad as he is indeed absolutely shite.

Play Lennon from the start instead of "all pace but no clue what to do with the ball" Walcott.

Job done... We'll go out in the semi's then


Nice generalisation on the "football fans are all pricks" though fella.

I think you mean "the stereotypical England supporter is a prick". I know loads of football fans that are just normal people from all walks of life..not a moron amongst them. My old mum will be livid you called her a prick

Quote from danthebangerboy :

You lot are making me feel old, i finished secondary school 10 years ago!

meh, now you're making me feel old

School is but a very distant nightmare for me luckily.

Quote from boothy :

I bought the V8 and Skippy but can't race them

Any half competent driver can be racing the V8's in a day or two from rookie status.

\o/

Go Bulls!

Quote from anttt69 :

The racing @ rookie/standard content level is very limited.

Unlimited means the amount of racing you can do.

You can go from one race to another 24/7 with the demo content. I'd hardly call that limited.

Quote from mrodgers :

You forgot to add, "and a hell of a computer...."

Not true.

I run it with good settings and a nice framerate on a E7400, 4gig ram, an old 8800 GTS and a £30 motherboard. It cost way less than £300 to assemble.

FSX is a beast with some of the more complex big passenger jets, but it runs just fine with most GA aircraft, and I find I get better FPS with ORBX scenery than default.

With a well tuned machine and the right config tweaks FSX isn't a problem on any Dual Core machine (@3+Ghz) or better, as long as your not flying complex jets into major airports with masses of AI.

For GA lovers flying out of/into smaller strips and regional airports you really can get away with a very average machine and have a very nice experience indeed.

Quote from matseracer :

The Moose - I'd love to get all of those, but i can't afford those amazing payware planes,

Aye, It's not a cheap hobby if you want good stuff for FSX. Still, it makes me feel iRacing is cheap now

Default FSX is far from a masterpiece.

FSX with ORBX scenery, Real Environment Xtreme and Active Sky Extreme and some quality addon planes.... well that's a different story

The Spice Girls were the most successful band of their time... they were still terrible

Just because the mindless majority like something doesn't make it good.

Cheers Moose

.. the England section of the iRacing forums is a good place to get setups. It's also the sanest place in the iRacing forums, and a great place for venting your frustrations at the Italians and French

(sorry to our Italian and French friends... but if you didn't all drive like maniacs we'd have no need to talk about you :schwitz

Quote from adamlfs :

Anyone got a good setup for brands? *hint, hint Mr Moose*

I used the one in the setup pack from this thread http://members.iracing.com/ifo ... readID=80986&tstart=0

Got me the third fastest qual time of the week, so i guess they are ok

Quote from tinvek :

oh and enjoy yourself, quite possible the most fun "road" car there is in iracing

....and quite possibly got the biggest bunch of idiots driving it of any car in the sim.

Yup, coming back this season and having a decent choice of series to run has made thing more tricky there's just not enough time in the week (or money in the bank ) to race all the ones I want to.

I've decided to skip the V8's. I'm just not getting on with it.. It's a constant fight with the car.. i cant be arsed with that for a full season. I've always been more of a SS guy anyway, so I'll stick to the Skippy and Mazda this season, and move on to the Lotus,Indycar or Williams F1 next season.

I might go back to the V8 in a build or two when it's had the inevitable physics tweaks. I'll probably race it on England Club night's though.

Anyone here running the Mazdas this season? I bought it last night and am amazed how much better it is now compared to when I tried it a few seasons ago.

Mazda@Brands is a combo made in heaven...

Just to clarify, each new weeks schedule starts at midnight on Tuesday (Monday night, Tuesday morning)

You can qualy when you like and as many times as you like (SR is counted in qual) then you have till the following week to race as many times as you like.

Just take the first races you do pretty easy, concentrate on just getting clean races,get your SR up and get out of those shitty Solstice's asap.

Quote from GFresh :

I still cannot work out how to enter a race though..........

Just click on the red 'RACE' button, select ' iRacing Solstice challenge' (as that's all your eligible to drive if you haven't raced yet) from the drop down menu on the top left.
Then click select sessions. Any sessions you can run are highlighted in red.

Qualy and Races sessions remain greyed out until 30 mins before the sessions start (I think it's 30 mins anyway)

You can race any sessions in the cars you're eligible for, which as a rookie with less than a 4.0 safety rating is only the Solstice on road and and Legends on Oval. Soon as you have a 3.0 SR you can race the Spec Racer.

My Skippy set for everywhere is

Pressures: 23 front, 22 rear
Spring perch 10
ARB 7

That's one thing i love about this car..less time tweaking, more time driving



Dave, you out there? any chance of a V8 set for Silverstone?

Quote from adamlfs :

I guess the standard of racing hasn't improved

Got hit twice with the skippy @ VIR. I think I will stick to timetrial and quali runs.

Easy solution... qualify in first and run away from everyone. That seems to be working for me


Gotta remember the Skippys are full of rookies. There's bound to some problems. I wish there was a 'C' and above only competition for the Skips... They are still one of the best cars in the sim, but racing with rookies is always going to be a gamble.

Quote from adamlfs :

Ok picked up VIR, brands and Sebring.

Loving the way VIR feels, think im gonna be playing iRacing for along time now :P

Let me know if your going to do some practice and i'll join you

Aye, well there's three days left of the VIR round so that might be worth a purchase. The next track you'll need to buy for the Skippy series is Brands.
