Iracing doesn't simulate anything.

It does a fine job at simulating a shitty subscription system and stuff like that.

But the subscription system isn't a simulation, it's a realization.

Fine. It's good for simulating a bad game then?

No because it doesn't simulate a bad game. It is a bad game.

Touché.

Aww damn.

Ovals on iRacing are nice. Satisfy me quite a lot.

That's because you're from 'murica.

If you turn right, you gots to be one of them dang homersexuals.

Or a Brittish oval driver. Oh wait... same thing.

Actually the mazda felt quite nice in Iracing. Did not do much oval but was close and fun races there.
The slower cars feel ok IMO, but maybe it feels worse on the faster cars?

I think it's Australia that does the clockwise ovals.

No. The V8SC Ford is a beast, hard to drive, the MP4 is easy to drive. Just because driving a car is not easy, it doesn't make it crap.

I hate the Lotus though.

Seems like they've been taking lessons from Scawen

Obviously not because even Scawen has mostly fixed his barrier bugs. iRacing's are just terrible. I've gotten stuck inside a wall more times than a chronic masturbator visits a porn site.

Never subscribing again. Worse physics than the last time I tried it, and I don't have enough gold bullions to buy more content or pay for subscription.

I'd first put money in a can and light it on fire before I re-sub to iRacing again. At least the fire will be entertaining and realistic.

All the money ($320) I've spent and have to show for it.. along with being thoroughly disappointed with how atrocious the "sim" actually is.

I think getting that much in $5 and burning it would have been a lot more fun.

Like 8 years later...

They're still fixed. Think about how many people spend as much (or more) than I have on iRacing.. yet they get simple collision physics wrong (never mind their other physics faults like tyre physics).

Stay on the black stuff and you'll be fine, what's your name on iR?

After 7 years my good old G25 shifter has finally died, and it picked a good time to do it. Got back into racing the HPD the last while, out of 12 races this week at Daytona I've won 9, finished 2nd twice and finished stone dead last in the last race of the week. Shifter started acting up in the 2nd lap, buttons started to hit, pit limiter, mute, black boxes flicking until it finally hit the ignition button and I was out. Hit my fastest lap time of the week also while a lap down after towing (and ripping out the shifter cable) and managed to unlap myself on the very last corner of the race, so it was still fun.

G25 pedals are still going strong though, still used every day after 7 years just with regular cleaning, and the wheel still works perfectly, though it has been in a cupboard for a couple of years. I bet my Fanatec GT3 won't be working in 7 years.

So, what's the best shifter? Thrustmaster TH8 or wait for the new Fanatec? I will really miss the buttons on the G25 shifter though, so used to them. So far I've found out that on the US Logitech site you can buy replacement shifters on their own, have sent a message to Logitech UK, they're usually really good.

I always thought 'Dezza' sounded abit weird,.....

I see you ran a few races in the Ford. Car is brilliant to drive.

Personally I've pretty much totally given up with iracing and after my sub runs out I'll never give them 1 cent more. After 5 years they are still not offering the most basic kind of wheel support. How they are still claiming to be a sim while forcing you to deal with steering unlinearity and speed sensitiveness you can not turn off is just plain ignorant and stupid beyond redonkulous at this point.

Even consoles offer incredibly better support in this regard and if assetto corsa is even nearly as good it looks now when it is released I'll get some 1k€ equipment and totally forget I've spend some comparable sums into this halfassed piece of disappoitment...
