I just sent out an email to

[email protected]

They should probably prepare for the greatest shitstorm they have ever experienced if no one can log in lol.

Can everyone else log in ok?

It says my email does not exist in the system.

I am not in the mood for this shit right now.

So why exactly did you just get $350 worth of iracing stuff?

Also, Spa is coming to iracing.

I have the drivers using application settings for AF. Maybe I'll try and crank the AF if it will let me make a setting just for iracing.

I would do if had Silverstone.
edit: nice picture spanks, i was pleasantly surprised at how good iR looks at full graphics.

Thanks. I can run close to these graphics while racing, but not quite.

They made it so you can have different graphic settings during replays than when you're racing. These are max.

The main problem I still have with the graphics is that when you get to a big angle or large distance from the car, even on max settings, the texture goes super low res. As soon as you look at it square or get closer its nice and sharp.

First I've used trading paints for anything. Pretty spiffy once I removed the author's signatures and stuff

How come no one is talking about the mustang?

Its fun.

It is the perfect lime rock car.

Looks like a fun place.

The mustang got taken away because it had an open differential. The sim needs software updates for it to have the torsen diff.

I'm being dramatic to try and get a big thread going.

What do we think fellas? I think its time to stop the hand holding.

ive never driven it. it just doesnt look tempting because im not a open wheel fan. but yet the star maza looks yummy. ill buy a year membership this week and then get whatever car i need first week of july

You can't rank up from D to C without driving a D level car.

Also, since it doesn't sound like you drive open wheelers much, you will have much more success in the mazda if you start in the skippy. They're totally different, but the techniques definitely carry over.

The rookie solstice is one of my favorite cars lol.

I would still rather be driving an mx5

Because the solstice is heavy, big, and ugly?

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

Have you had an eye test lately? Maybe it's your eyes that are at fault?

Rofl maybe stop bagging on him?

The graphic artists have expressed many times that there are a lot of things missing from the sim, and it really needs an overhaul.

The mid ohio shots look really pretty nice though...not sure what your problem is with those.

bahaha

found this on the iracing forum

Wow is anyone even making a point anymore? What the hell are you all even talking about.

Dude if you run out of bullets with a musket you can just like shoot rocks! Way superior

I am so happy I almost pooped a little

This car is amazing. Possibly another best sim car ever to come from iracing.

I know its stupid but its fun to drive with the clutch and H shifter. 1st gear feels maybe slightly sluggish on the baseline setup...clutch and grab 2nd gear and you just blast through it.

I almost get the feeling like I'm driving a really high powered street car...and its an awesome feeling.

just got my code for the $6 rebate on philip island and the v8

The release notes look good. I'm most curious about the live axle part...how do you screw up the torque distribution of a locked rear axle...? Or rather, what can you change about it?

Also....THEYRE FIXING THE MAZDA WOOOOOOOOOO

They ruined that car so much with the last big change they did. Used to be one of my favorite cars in the sim, and right now it is near undrivable. Maybe you'll actually be able to catch slides again!?

Also the fuel part is huge. Probably an oversight from beta...like someone quickly implemented the weight of gas and they never went back to actually place it where its supposed to be.

Quote from UncleBenny :

My only guess would be that people were doing this at Daytona/Talladega after pit stops to get some kind of advantage. I'm not sure where else you'd be able to stay on top of each other for that long.

I once drove half a lap at road atlanta with 2 other cars inside mine. It was awesome. We were going rather slowly lol, about half speed.

I love all the blue noses running the skippy

Its so much damn fun

Quote from MadCat360 :

Man, I am getting smoked at Mosport in the Skippy. I'm about 2 seconds off the lead pace but I either keep getting tagged or spinning in the hairpin.

Oh well. Good track to learn the car though! You really learn the subtleties of how it grips in those high speed flowing corners, especially turn 2. I kinda sorta hope they don't update the tire model next week after working so much on the current one. I just wish I could get over my "can't feel it in my butt so I end up pushing too hard" issue that I've had in sim racing since the beginning of time. I'm just not that fast in the virtual world. :\

I ran about 10-20 laps and got down to like a 34.0 I think

32.6 is the pole right? My optimal is like a 33.7. I thought I could easily whittle some time away since almost instantly I was at a 34.0 but I seem to be very stuck :P

It is a fun combo but a little more beans would be nice out of the skippy.

I loveeee hosted sessions

I join up for the start and the first few laps and then either crash on accident or just quit lol. Had a race last night..legends at laguna. I went from 17 to 3rd on the start driving through the gravel and everything haha. I ran up and passed the leader and got bored and spun

I'm the 22 car lol. The 2nd pic is me passing the black car while we both pass the inside car...pretty scary through there 3 wide

First V8 @ PI teaser is out.

Sound is weird, not so rough and kinda like LFS sounds...but the track looks awesome. Come on, can't wait.

That video has 3 different sound sources all mixed together. It can be set up to be very loose as well..don't judge the car totally from the video, although it will like to understeer with its puny front tires and massive weight on the nose.

Phil, you and BBT both make points that I can agree with. I'm actually in a very similar situation. My 2nd year runs out in August or something. I hardly ever race in iracing. I enjoy testing and open practice. I can't even remember the $100 I paid to get access 8 months ago so it really doesn't bother me that much...I quite enjoy having the option of loading up iracing and blasting around some of my favorite tracks. The variety is what I enjoy...some people like new content.

Also, in case no one has noticed, the new cars that have been coming out have been progressively better every time. Sometimes those advances spill over to other cars, sometimes they don't. Eventually the old stuff will get updates. For now, it is all very raceable (on the road side) The oval stuff does seem to be missing on quite a bit of factors.

Ant, you act like you, and everyone else in iracing, is being ripped off. You can't be a victim if you volunteer. You also don't get to fly the plane just because you bought a ticket.

Quote from anttt69 :

Still a long way to go before anything worthwhile then? Have you ever noticed how iR love to release new content & make a big hoo haa about it but take ages to bring any decent updates to the sim. (multicar being minor)

The money train rolls on. :sleep2:

you're an idiot

you don't have to like iracing, but you hate it for really lame reasons lol
