I just had to reconnect and they all came back....

Quote from BlueFlame :

Trento Bondone track is a joke, so many areas of that track spit you into orbit.

Ha. Stay on the track.

Trento Bondone is the best $20 I've spent in a looong time.

All the paintings are gone from the art gallery? Server issues or more vandals?

A load cell made a world of difference as well. It's so much easier to modulate pressure than it is distance. A day or two on the load cell and I was going in deeper than I ever had, with incredibly predictable lock-up.

Quote from Zay :

Ok, so like I said about the paypal thing. It comes up to that credit card screen. I have a debit card, and I dont see anywhere to type in a debit card number? Anyone know how to do this?

Debit card = credit card, usually. As long as it has 16 digits and starts with a 4 (Visa) 5 (Mastercard) 6 (Discover) or 37 (Amex) it should work just the same as an actual credit card.

Yep, it was my own fault. The thing that bugs me is this... I went out in the woods and tested the fireplace first this time. I built a test model and planted trees all around it. The leaves grew to within 1 block of the flame and still didn't catch fire. As soon as I build the same thing up in my house it burns the whole thing down...

nycska back on the list please!

I'll probably start rebuilding my tree house in the same spot, I'm just glad the recovery effort went well last night and I was able to get up there and get my diamonds, etc.

Thanks everyone for collecting the paintings.

Yep. Whoever did this also stole all my paintings from the art gallery and put them everywhere....

Paintings are no big deal, but what a dick to screw up the whole town. Damn kids and their music...

I had an accident...





That was my tree house. Don't play with matches kids.

Thanks Boosted

Could you whitelist my friend "nightmayer" please?

Also, listening to the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack while playing Minecraft makes everything you do completely epic.

Quote from Flame CZE :

By the way, I have a question. In LFS, my steering wheel input lag is OK unless I set VSync to on but in iRacing, it seems to have quite an annoying lag all the time, no matter if I set VSync to on or off. Anyone knows where's the problem?

Try going into your graphics card control panel and reducing your pre-rendered frames from 3 to 0.

I'd like to check out what everyone has been building, whitelist nycska please?

Perhaps it really was just a case of bad luck. My experiences with iRacing customer support have been nothing short of exceptional, on a number of instances.

So, playing Minecraft for extended periods seems to be giving me vertigo. Not while I'm actually playing, but at random times throughout the day. As soon as I stop playing for a few days, the vertigo attacks (mild as they are) stop completely... my girlfriend is pleased.

Sometimes you just need to go into Control Panel>Game Controllers>Properties>Settings... you don't even have to change anything, just close it all out and hit ok. That might free the wheel up to spin the full 900.

Quote from TexasLTU :

52.5 here. And I have no idea how to do uphill properly.

Turn in earlier than you think, rotate the car around the apex with the throttle, and keep it straight over the top so you don't have to lift. Some preemptive steering correction in the air usually helps you stay straight on the landing as well. My optimal is only 51.8, but those last tenths come from really keeping the rear tires slipping and pushing the car through the apex with the gas.

Lime Rock is my favorite track, but it is kind of annoying to have to float the rear end so much to be fast here...

Quote from adamlfs :

After speaking and hearing from a number of people I really want to try the Lotus 79, but would it be best to wait for the next season to buy the content for it?

Will the track schedule be the same?

Many of the track schedules seem to have settled, so it's usually only a track or two that get switched around when something new is released. You're probably safe buying most of the tracks now.

Quote from The Moose :

The Lotus is superb now, and I have no idea how so many people are blowing engines.

Did 40 laps at Mid Ohio yesterday. Blew my engine once, first time leaving the pits. After that I didn't miss a gear or blow my engine once.

Turn off auto cluch/auto blip, lift and shift at 11,000rpm, blip on downshifts. Simple.

Love the transmission model. Love the fact that so many previously fast guys are having problems with it as well

Just fyi, the guy that coded the Lotus (Eric Hudec) said the power runs out at about 10,500. But yeah, much over 11k and it will "explodify" itself...

At any rate, yeah, this car is great with the new trans model.

I'll second the MX-5 suggestion. I don't own one, but it does seem to fit your needs pretty well.

Quote from mcintyrej :

Don't worry though, I had a fiddle around and converted it into a fisheye.

Win.

I'm sort of excited about a build for the first time in a while. Mixed class @ Lime Rock is going to be a blast. Split times should be nice. Still no seat adjustment...

The Lotus isn't as popular as the Dallara, but there is a great core group of guys running it in the official races.

edit: and +1 to this thread.

Quote from anttt69 :

I agree 100% the stock content needs to be a better package. Also whilst its nice of them to offer payed up members 20% off Aussie content, its still extortion.
LFS cost me £24 i have owned full content for 5 years & i will get another car & updated physics for free (when its ready). In comparison iRacing cost me $150, all i got was 6 months of membership & a portion of the content. The biggest thorn in my side is despite spending 4x as much on iRacing i cant just go load up the software i paid big bucks for & have a play because of their restrictions.

Its just not a fair deal, i hate renting, it just means constant spending for virtually nothing & every time they release more content iRacing becomes more expensive & so on & so on. Just out of interest how much would full content & two years membership cost? (incl of aussie cont)

+1 to more stock content in iRacing.

However, LFS could be god's gift to sim racing and it still won't matter when you get nailed in T1 every race, and that is my experience since CTRA went down. The quality of racing in iRacing is what counts, and it is well worth the price imo. And yes I've heard the league argument, I'm not interested. It doesn't fit how I want to use the software, so I have to pay iRacing for clean public pick-up racing.
