Quote from atledreier :

Got Rift support in the last update.

Excellent cheers, can't wait to get home now.

Anyone know if Rift support is in this? Got a rift sitting here dying to get used for something like this.

Getting a Rift tomorrow off my boss, he hits a whitey every time he puts it on so it's no use to him, I can't wait to try it with iR with proper support. Might even get me back to racing again.

Quote from BlueFlame :

And that just shows the race where I had the issue? It's a bug when you start from pitlane it seems that the car handles more like junk than usual.

The times I was doing offline before jumping into that were 1.14's on race fuel.

I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. I would like to think that it's cold tyres having the desired effect, having sat so long. At least, that's what happened to one of the DWC guys, after a few laps temps came back up and the car started handling again. Or, it's a show-stopping bug, which is more likely.

Quote from The Very End :

What you mean by mechanical grip?

Grip generated by the tyres and the chassis/suspension etc. The opposite of aerodynamic grip.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Broken? What's wrong with it?

Feels more like a hovercraft than an F1 car, has no mechanical grip and aero isn't great either. Drifts everywhere but is so twitchy that slides are almost impossible to catch. Has so little grip that 200 km/h 1st gears are needed just to get a little traction, and the Lotus 49 literally has more grip under traction and more mechanical grip.

Quote from R3DMAN :

He has a point tho.

Really? No-one is denying that Fog is an easy thing to add, and we all know it doesn't affect the weather conditions yet. What exactly is his point? Proper weather will come in time, this latest build with variable weather is a step towards that. It picks a time of day (bigger deal than people think, first step to 24 hour cycles) and sky randomly based on the conditions, which then affects the track and grip. Wind also plays a factor, and it also gusts. They are getting there slowly but surely.

Quote from boothy :

they mad

Doesn't sound like you to not leave a gap Boothy, even though leaving a gap to C6 in the GTC is pointless.

I have some hope, it's nowhere near the first time that they've said "L49 will be out in a week", but it would be suicide if they delayed it again. Hopefully the FW31 gets NTM5 too.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

I find it hard to believe that anyone in iRacing isn't a half-wit. After all, they are paying gross sums of money for an arcade game, then proceed to call it a sim.

Gross sums, I earn a months subscription in less than half an hours work, that's a really ridiculous amount of money.

Imagine the insane amount of heat that you would get from being surrounded by 3 Plasma TVs? Better you than me in that hell.

Your same old shit iracing jokes are getting better and better, should definitely be a stand-up comic. You spend more time crying like a spoiled bitch on these forums about it than I ever have waiting 4 hours for a race, as you love to point out.

Here's a 10 second replay of me sitting at Centripetal in the Gen 6. Just pause it, and call the file my ID "56939.tga" to see it in game, and Ctrl-R to reload. You will need to download the optional update for the Chevy SS if you haven't already. Turn off trading paints also or it will keep updating my paint to my red lowes.

Quote from Mustangman759 :

and the fact you have to own the car. I mean why should I have to buy that ugly gen6 chevy :P

The G6 is a beautiful car, it's just a shame it drives like a truck.

Quote from CheerioDM :

What are you talking about? And who are you talking to?

He's trying to be a smart arse, and he's talking to me. Just let him get on with it, he's mentally ill. He likes to call and compare iRacing to Mario Kart, but if Mario Kart had iRacings online system I would be a player for life.

"Mario Kart" was starting to struggle (by struggle I mean dip below 100fps) at somewhere with 40+ Gen6 cars or 3 different classes of cars in front of me. BF3 was killing me though, 40FPS on low.

Finally upgrading from my Q6600. Took me long enough, had it for at least 6 years. What a legend of a chip, doubt the new one will last me as long. GTX460 and 4GB of DDR2 is getting too long in the tooth, performance is pretty bad these days.

Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor
MSI HD 7870 Black Knight 2048MB GDDR5
Gigabyte Z87-D3HP Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

Keeping my Zalman Z9 case, power supply, hard drives and disc drives, £500 for the lot. Should be a significant performance boost. Like an idiot though, I ordered all this then realised that OEM CPUs don't come with a stock cooler. 212 Evo was out of stock where I ordered the rest, so I thought the stock cooler will keep me going for a couple of days. Ordered the cooler to get delivered on Friday, while all the rest of the stuff gets delivered thursday. Gonna be a bit of a **** having all the kit sitting there without being able to use it (except for the graphics card, will use that to benchmark Q6600 speed to compare to i5 the next day).

Dropbox is the site I was trying to remember the name of . Here you go: https://www.dropbox.com/s/j4z1t4hgdo3ul2f/Sonoma%2014.2.rpy

Quote from Mustangman759 :

you would probably win your split too lol

if anyone has done a lap time could you post it? I've done a 16.8 but that was with overunning and losing a second on a single corner.

Got a 14.6 so far, but was in a server with Madison Down who was doing 12's, so I've got a lot to do still. Optimal in the 13's, if I can get down that far I'll be happy. Don't overdrive, slow in fast out all the way, and get all your turning done early, then straighten up as soon as possible and nail the throttle.

Edit: 14.2, here's a replay of the lap. Plenty of time to still find, bit of a scruffy lap.

If you're so bored, why bother replying?

Oh, I guess you haffto do something in your 4 hours between sessions.

Your rants would actually be better if they weren't full of bullshit. But of course, we've told you before that you don't have to wait anywhere near 4 hours, but you just don't listen. Of course, I could ask you if you hate iR so much, why bother replying in this thread at all?

For the record, the last time I raced was last week, but I don't instantly start with the high horse "I'm right, you're all retards" shit that makes you sound like a complete prick. Trying to convince everyone not to enjoy iRacing because you're the most butthurt I've ever seen anybody be (and I've seen some major butthurt) is just pathetic, really.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Or the more likely situation is that I'm not the only one that's noticed how close iRacing is to an arcade game intended for children

Honestly, come up with something original please. Completely bored now.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Obviously I play Mario Kart. It's the most realistic simulator.

Maybe your career as a comedian is going so badly that you can't afford the $7 per month, judging by your shitty sense of humour.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

You're right. I should just let them waste their money and not bother them.

Maybe they'll thank my efforts later on, when they're selling their last pair of pants to rent another piece of iRental content.

Same boring tired arguments, same over-exaggerating bullshit.

I don't even want to ask, but what do you use to get your sim-racing fix? LFS? LFS has many well documented flaws, so much so that a Scirocco broke the tyre model and required a complete overhaul that we've yet to see. RF2 is nice, but still clearly beta and it shows, although some of the newer content is getting there. AC isn't out yet. Nobody is saying iRacing is perfect, not by a longshot, but you keep insisting we all actually are, for some ****ed up reason.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Yeah. That must be the reason. Not that iRacing is a shitty sim that should pay ME to run its crappy software.

It's obviously that I'm too poor, that's why my Jetta has the floor cut out, so I can Flintstones that shit and not pay for gasoline.

I'm obviously too poor to rent iRental. It's definitely not that I haven't suffered enough brain damage to continue to pay for a shit "simulator".

Oh wait, no... I'm not too poor to rent iRental. I'm just not brain damaged enough to think that iRental is even remotely a good simulator.

Well, thats not true. It's good at simulating an overly needy blonde bimbo girlfriend that goes "Hey baby.. can I have money to go shopping" every few days. Sadly that blonde bimbo looks like she got beaten with a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire.

So I guess you guys have iRental as a girlfriend simulator I suppose.

Any original arguments, and not something you've said 1000 times already? Nobody argues that iRacing is the best sim, but I would rather do online multiplayer racing on a semi-sim than not at all. What sim would you suggest I spend my time and money on? We're all clearly waiting on AC and I will happily ditch iRacing if it's good enough. Maybe the physics of iRacing are far and away from perfect, but the online racing infrastructure is fantastic. You just moan that you need to wait a couple of hours instead of having rolling 5 lap races. I know which I prefer.

Your ridiculous over-exaggeration doesn't help your arguments. It costs me $6.50 per month, and every 1 or 2 months I fork out less than 10 dollars for a car or a track. Believe my, my girlfriend takes many multiples of that every single day, and at least iRacing doesn't moan and bitch if I let my sub lapse for a month.

Honestly, I don't even know why I waste these 5 minutes. Clearly, you are unbelievably butt-hurt over something iRacing has done to you in the past, and you feel the need to try and discredit and belittle everyone in this thread who enjoys spending small amounts of their hard earned on a hobby. I pity you, really.

Quote from The Very End :

Dawe, you really hate this game don't you?

Nah, he's just too poor to afford $6.25 per month.

On a 24" single monitor I've been slowly lowering my FOV and finding a fair bit of speed doing it. Started out driving with 70 odd, maybe 80, and have been weaning myself off it. Got myself down to 60 now which is a really nice compromise, I really need trip screens to go further than that. Dropping it in one go is too much of a shock, better to gradually bring it down.
