I'm not trying to be a smart arse or anything and I'm just trying to be helpful, but is it possible you just looked at the thumbnail preview on the forum page you linked?
Just saying 'cause I'm only seeing the aliasing on the fences because they have transparency AA disabled. Also I see a bit of blockiness on the textures and shadows at really really low angles in some of the other pics (low set AF), but the images overall seems like about 4x AA (nV) and looks okayish to me.
Inset pic is the iRacing forum thumbnail preview, main pic is the original pic:
Its mostly the background stuff that makes me cringe. Then there's the overhead view of the few cars with the night.. I dunno if it is JPEG compression that they used, but there's some funky colouring going on there in the shadows.
Not amused with the new oval stuff the street stock as fun as it is to drive twice ive had my race ruined by guys who spin in the middle of the track and just stop me having no where to go, i hit them 4x cant even turn the car race over -.7 or some crap its stupid.
Had a good race going then got spun by a car moving up the track mid corner hits my rear end i get a 4x multiplier then had a crashed car hit my side and i get another 4x for incidents that werent even my fault and out of my control. Im starting to wonder about how its calculated let alone how people cant turn left?
Guess i wont be hitting 3.0 this week if i keep racing time trials here i come.
Just a side question is doing the whole towing thing and starting again even worth it?? Does the safety score go up down or what??
incident points aren't blame dependent, think of them as real world racing damage, doesn't matter who causes a crash, everyone pays for their own damage, there are some inconsistencies though in how hard you have to hit / be hit to get them.
boosting SR though TT doesn't take long at lower licence levels, just don;t stop once you've done the required number of laps for a TT (10?) run clean for the full 30 mins in each session. apart from anything else it's good practice in running a decent race distance
Yeah sorry, the new build isn't out until tomorrow with Sebring Night included
One of the iRacing staff said we should get the Build Notes today, which is nice. It's only right that they delayed the new build until tomorrow, just so they don't **** up the DWC race tonight.
Astroboy, get out of rookie oval, fast! It's not worth it, get into the Late model or the Trucks and the standards improve immensely. Especially don't race during Week 13, I once lost 1.5SR while winning a Street Stock race, simply because of people wrecking for fun.
Ah yes, you appear to have started at the wrong time, week 13 is the end of season races, where due to the fact that there's only really 2 road/oval series, and they are open to everyone, it can become a bit of a wreckfest.
I would make sure you test "offline" the tracks in week 13 before you do them, so you know yourself that you are safe and can keep it on the track. And then just keep your wits about you in the race - assume everyone else is an idiot
Fast tow will repair your car. You get one fast tow per race. Make sure you request the tow outside the pit lane - the commitment cones determine the pits start/exit. It won't repair if you request the tow whilst inside the pit lane. It's best to stop just before the pits entry without causing a crash and request the tow. The further you are way from pits the longer the tow takes. It adds about another minute or so depending on the track if you're half way around. Once the tow is completed the car should be repaired. You don't lose safety score -Safety rating/SR for gettting a tow/repair.
In later classes above D you don't get a fast tow (repair). You only can get a tow back to pits, no repair. One bad smash and your race is over, just like real life.
New feature: Optional damage repair when you come to a pit stop is available in some of the cars; Oval Class C Silverado, Oval Class A Impala, Road Mustang They are adding more to the list. Sometimes damage is so bad they can't fix it. If you leave the pits before the pit repair is done your car might drive worse because some tie rods are not reconnected and bolts are loose ROFL.
I always thought that Jason, but I have now figured out, mainly from hosted racing, that if you pull into your pit box, escape out of the car and then get back in, that gives you a brand new car.
Also, if you are racing in one of those cars mentioned which have damage repair, instead of a quick tow you get a quick repair, just stop in your box and it automatically gives you a brand new car.
I know what you mean 1st paragraph. Sometimes it didn't work for me however so I was reluctant to explain it that way.
The other part, well I was in COT(A) @ Talladega and had a smash, couldn't drive back to pits but engine was okay, just the steering, so thought I'll get a fast tow and hence a quick repair. I hit tow, I waited for the tow timer ~2mins, then repairs started - 5 mins or so of optional repairs that I had to wait for . The repairs timer would "pause" if I went into spectate mode. So I dunno how to get a quick repair using the tow as it seemed to me the repairs still have to run their course. IDK, there's always funky stuff going with the repairs and tows tbh. edit: I'm an idiot. This was class A so no quick tow repair was available, only tow then pit repairs.
Once I got a fast tow from outside the pits, the car didn't repair and had to get another fast tow afterwards to repair the car. Some bugs there I think. Not always is it consistant.
I will try again as you said towing from my pit bay to see if that works.
oh yeh duh.
You don't get the tow repair but you still get the tow and repair... simple!Sometimes you have to have your head in two places at once. Old and new featurettes
The distance and length of time that a driver can drive backwards in a commercial setting before being disqualified for reckless driving has been increased so that the driver has more time to notice and comply with the warning they are being given.
I've seen complaining about that before, if they set up a few computers running iRacing at something like the Nascar Hall of Fame, as soon as someone starts driving backwards that computer is kicked clean out of the server and can't rejoin .
so I have just installed the NIXIM brake mod, and I can MUCH MUCH more happier with the brakes now. I can now brake much later without locking the brakes.
I seriously recommend it if you haven't got it already!
