Quote from dawesdust_12 :There's an iRacing forum if they want to discuss iRacing in an environment where negativity against iRacing = ban.

Fortunately, I'm allowed here to speak my views on iRacing and indicate that I feel it is awful without being banned for saying "iRacing has awful physics."

Nobody is saying you can't say bad things in this topic about iRacing.

The fact that anyone can have a little rant and not get jumped on by a bunch of fan boys is one of the great things about this particular thread.

You, however, are taking it to the extreme and trying to disrupt every conversation with the same old lines we've read from you many times before.

You are not happy, we get it. Now can you please just have a little respect for everyone else and drop it?

Quote from S3ANPukekoh3 :I did them 6 at a time, the 20% discount basically means you get 2 free tracks for each purchase. I found when you get 6 tracks, you can pretty much just choose the best tracks of the season, chances are you'll already have 1 or 2 so you'll be able to do a full season with drop weeks .

Sorry mate but you want to have another look at your maths there because 20% of 6 is 1.2, Even buying 4 tracks at 14.95 and 2 at 11.95, then comparing your saving to only the cheaper tracks, you only save 16.74, which is 1.4 free tracks per purchase

Quote from BlueFlame :Milwaukee and New Hampshire are shit, it's like driving in a car park around two cones.

What you really mean is you don't like them but typically you have to say they are shit rather than saying they are not your cup of tea.

Personally I'm not a short track fan but I understand why others do like them.


But then you hate iRacing so will take every opportunity to attack it. Again, personally, if I don't like something I don't read the threads relating to them. I spend my time doing stuff I do like.

Quote from J@tko :Sorry I should have put a :P at the end of that. I was being semi-sarcastic, I know what actually they are very different, but from the outside they're the same. I actually really enjoy oval racing in iRacing, mainly because I'm surprisingly good at it. Came in the top 30 in the last rookie street stock season (admittedly that's only R + D, but in an R+D road series I'd be nowhere near that good) and SS @ Charlotte is so much fun, because of the strategy of trying to pass someone.

It doesn't help that there's so many oval tracks. I'd be forking out >£100 if I wanted to run even anywhere near a full season in any high up oval series. And as there aren't many of them (and fixed schedule is the same as open), you could easily be in a point where I can't run anything high up for several weeks, unlike road. If I bought let's say the McLaren and the HPD, I'd easily have a choice of >D class road series to run every week. But on oval I wouldn't without spending alot of money

Yeah the :P or a would have helped. I just bit.

I found myself doing more ovals for the same reason as you. Plus the fact that the racing was closer. I find at my level on road you spend so much of a race hot lapping on your own that it gets boring.

Regarding purchasing tracks, I did it a bit at a time (well 3 at a time to be precise) and over a couple of seasons purchased the content. $30 odd dollars per month is not such a big hit as all in one go. Especially as it takes 3 months for a whole season to play out. Also once you have a good amount of content you find you are not looking to spend at all. You just have to resist the urge to buy the latest track etc.

Quote from J@tko :... But why would I buy Texas? It's basically the same as Charlotte?

They are very very different. Why not include Atlanta, Las Vegas, Chicagoland? To name a few other cookie cutters. All very different.

I thought the same as you before I started doing a lot more oval.

Oval also is a lot more about strategy than road. (excluding proper endurance road racing, before someone mentions it)

Quote from John5200 :FYI the funding will most probably be finished this/next moth, so if you want a great package for 10€ you get it quickly

Cashflow must be getting tight again. They seem to say this every now and again and then nothing happens.

Quote from nikopdr :I don't see any logic here.


Devs do a test update = People whine

Devs are silent for a period of time = People whine


I mean seriously?

Different people whine for different reasons. Seriously it's not rocket science.

Mixing it on the fly with give you the same problems unless you can completely isolate yourself from the main sound system.

Your best bet is to record the music and mic seperately then mix them together later.

Either 2 recording devices then mix them together later or 2 inputs into some multitracking device/software.

For this of course you'll need a way of isolating the mic from the main mix. Most big mixers have individual channel outs which will sort it but becomes more difficult if it hasn't.

Quote from Crashgate3 :Hopefully this will be playable on the PC.

I couldn't do more than a couple of races on the previous game due to the ridiculous half-second delay between turning the wheel and the car responding (which LOADS of people seem to have found)

I found that was a graphics issue. While it seemed to run smoothly on high graphics I had the same input lag issues. When I wound the graphics back the input lag disappeared.

Quote from oscarhardwick :Then why is it that you seem to think you have an opinion on the subject of sim racing...

You may not agree with his opinion but that doesn't mean he can't have one. You can argue that his opinion is baseless but to say he can't have one is making you look a fool.

Quote from Funnybear :As for the click track, I know cubase can generate a basic drum pattern, I just ain't worked out how too. But most of my tunes are piano based, so I use a rough guide with good timing to then lay all the right components over the top and then get shot of the guide . . . . . It works for me.

I'm not talking about a basic drum pattern I mean a click that it will play to every beat (with a slight change for the first beat of a bar) normally switched on via a button on the transport bar.

Saying all that, if it works for you then it's all good.

Sorry if I'm too late on this but...

Quote from Funnybear :Is there any way that you guys know of that I can run a monitor straight out cubase without the delay? It's starting to bug me somewhat.

You want to hardware monitor your inputs not soft. In XP it was as simple as unmuting the microphone/Line in within the recording mixer. On Win 7, find the input you want to hear, choose properties, then "listen to this device". Make sure you can hear your inputs through headphones before running cubase then they should work fine within cubase too. Your card may have it's own mixer but the principal is the same, make sure you can hear it outside of cubase first. Then turn off the cubase monitoring of inputs else you'll hear the real one and the soft one milliseconds later.

Regarding the click track there should be one somewhere.

Quote from PMD9409 :Wonder what else is coming. Surely it hasn't just been this.

Of course not there will at least be another fudge to the ntm making all oval sets useless again and depending on what side the coin falls the skippy will be barely drivable/nearly drivable.

Quote from S3ANPukekoh3 :the thing is, as soon as you get past the rookie classes, say goodbye to pretty much all of your spare money for the first couple of seasons, especially if you are doing oval racing as well

Edit for truth.

When people make statements like this they tend to forget that you only have to buy the content once. Yes they release new content through the year but nothing like the initial purchase required if you want to run a full 12 week season(s).

Quote from PMD9409 :Wish all their posts went to one area so we could read them in order.

One of the things that really annoys me about them. Unless you are reading all threads on the forum or have all staff on your watch list you are likely to miss a fair few posts which can contain important information to you.

Quote from tinvek :no idea but apparently it all went wrong for england, never heard that about a world cup before

and before you say it yes i know we don't even get there

haha nice.

I think we'd have still struggled to beat the germans even with out the iRacing cock ups.

Long story short they didn't double check their config files again, just like they don't seem to double check anything or have any sort of QA processes, which meant only 5 from each team were allowed into the finals instead of 9.

There is no way I'd have been racing had we known it was 5 and not 9!

It seems to me the only thing iRacing are really good at and put any real effort into is bigging themselves up. Everything else is just poorly thought out and badly executed.

Quote from PMD9409 :Don't you be no Steve Myers!

"We know the World Cup failed miserably, but don't worry, the new build is coming out!"

That comment pissed me and many club England members off more than the actual cockup that was the world cup finals.

"We cocked up and are going to ignore it from here on. Oh look a squirrel!"

I just watched the broadcast of that race of champions thing.

Is it just me or are their broadcasts really so full of fail?

Do they not see how bad they are? Is US Motorsport coverage that bad that they think there broadcasts are OK in comparison?

Sod all this iRacing 2.0 stuff they came out with 6 months ago. This was their best marketing opportunity yet and they blew it big style with such an amateur broadcast.

The Kingsbury (Chuckle) brothers could do a better job (sorry Matt and Ray).

Quote from anttt69 :OK own up, who reported me to iRacing?

You don't think iRacing staff may read this thread?

It doesn't take much brain power to work out your iRacing account name.

Also referring yourself could have triggered it. Accounts on same IP etc?

Or have they told you someone reported you?
