No, it's punishing wreckers and idiots that have no interest in serious racing, and letting the rest of us who are passionate about it, spend a bit of cash to get some quality on-line racing.
Also, back to the OP - why does it exist? We're not all 18 years old without a care in the world - some people have families, and aren't willing to risk their health in a real racing car. Or how about people who don't want to spend the night being driven into barriers by a bunch of kids trying to win a race in the first corner? Time is money at our age
Id' just like to say, that I did my updates and was playing ALL last night with no issues. What a fantastic service that I paid for! It did exactly what they promised it would do, because I followed the instructions perfectly, and I was racing again within half an hour. In fact, I'm so happy with my service, I think I might pay my sub twice this month
As a rookie, I can't change any of the car setup, which I suppose I would expect. Using the normal Solstice, I can just alter suspension settings. Is this a limitation of the car, and do setups become more advanced when I'm in a more advanced car?
Spare tenner, I asked this at work, with the following responses:
"a tenners worth of donkey porn" "a hand job from a mysterious woman in a box"
"10 quids worth of any currency that is getting stronger than the pound currently" "a tenners worth of flying saucers"
"a tenners worth of boot licking from the queen"
personally, i'd go 50/50 on hand job and flying saucers.
As I've just started driving this simulator, I'm still using the rookie Solstice. Now official week 13 has just started there is two circuits to race. However, I only ever have the option to drive one circuit, regardless of which date I select the session from. Anybody know what this is all about? Do I need to race at least one circuit before I can race the other, or what?
iRacing.com is a nice system, but damn either the information is really hard to find, or it just doesn't exist.
Thanks. I'm not kown for possessing the vocabulary that's sometimes required to make the point that I want to. In fact, most of my posts are written, and rewritten until I can justify my comments with factual representation, in a language and tone that mostly agreeable.
People might call Hamilton fans blinkered, but when those same people are presented with facts (that can be dug up quite easily on the internet), they choose to ignore them completely. And so, the merry-go-round of insults and controversy spins longer and longer.
As such, I'm pretty tired of the discussion, as it's long since run it's course as an actual discussion. I'd hope that some people can agree to disagree, and move on with their lives, instead of letting such disagreements rule their forum existence
Not seen this before, had to look it up. For a while, I was thinking "what does this have to do with GTK?"
Just signed myself up for iRacing, and had a blast in the rookie Solstice for a couple of hours last night. Was surprised at how real this simulator feels, probably more so than any other sim that I've played. Well impressed
I'm sure that drivers would stop much more frequently in future, if they got a firm guarantee from the FIA that they won't get penalised in the next race for it
Let's be honest, Senna was indeed a gentleman and a genius, but he was also of his rocker
Basically, if you have a prang in your motor, the insurance company will take a report on your car. If there is any single thing in the report that they would class as a modification that needed declaring that you didn't declare (tires don't make any difference, so long as you have at least four of them!), they will try to nullify your insurance.
It's one of the multitude of ways the thieving bastages make money from you, so for the sake of your pocket in the long run, declare every thing, regardless of how trivial it might be
What gets my back up, is some of these people that claim to be religious, spend Sunday morning praying in church / mosque / garden shed, then the rest of the week breaking all of the so called rules that their bible has laid down for them. But that's OK, because they then claim that "oh, you aren't supposed to take it LITERALLY". Until of course it suits them. Most religion is so full of hypocrisy, it's no wonder so many people have a distaste for it.
Personally, I don't understand how someone can base their life around a book that provides no evidence for it's source and that was written x thousand years ago, and assume that it's relevant in today's society.
