Correct

Quote from PMD9409 :

So I'm only allowed to praise a company for when it does something good, but not bring up the fact that they have also made mistakes? Why is it so important to you to make me a blind fanboy of iRacing? I guess it could be fun, but I'd rather be honest with myself and others about any sim, not just iRacing.

Plus if I wanted to simply discredit iRacing, they'd be a lot more to my previous post.

You can only be a fanboy or a hater, there is no grey area anymore

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

...Rule 1: Don't talk about iRacing in a negative manner. Scawen seems to love iRacing and will ban you.

You really do believe that don't you. Despite what was actually typed by Scawen at the time. I think you've told yourself this so much that you actually believe it yourself.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Ignorant: lacking knowledge or awareness in general; uneducated or unsophisticated.

Wasn't really going for an insult, just wondering how on Earth you were trying to make that comparison.

The word ignorant seems to have changed meaning over the years. It use to be to ignore.

Quote from wikipedia :

... is often used as an insult to describe individuals who deliberately ignore or disregard important information or facts.

hence my "****" comment.

Anyway it's all good. A misunderstanding


I also understand what you mean from your other 2 paragraphs and maybe I need to change my "Terrible advice" to "Not always the best advice"

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

It's different from person to person though, some make it faster and easier then others, some keeps ending up in wrecks (which seems to be the case with Franky from what I can read), to those the "get out of the rookie races asap" advice is a good advice. Get yourself in to the class C races and then start grinding iRating.

As a last resort I agree. I just get annoyed when I see this first rule bullshit.

After the release of the mx5 I spent 2 seasons racing only in the rookie series and had many great races. It's the lower splits that are a nightmare.

Quote from PMD9409 :

So basically can't tell if trolling or if you are being that ignorant.

So can't tell if I'm being an **** or being an ****?

Neither. (Though maybe ignorant has a different meaning in this context in US.) Admittedly I forgot that fast track didn't exist in 2008.

I was trying to make light of it. Obviously it didn't come across that way. Sorry

I, and many people I know got through rookie since fast track without starting from the pits.

With all that said, I will stand by my opinion that it is bad advice if you are safe and have half a brain.

Quote from menantoll :

If you are a good clean racer just race smart, let the fast idiots go, pull away from the slow idiots.

I've put the important part in bold. Anyone mentioning getting out of rookie in this forum is not going to be new to sim racing.

Somehow I doubted Mr Diaz started from the pits in his rookie races so I took a look.

Remember your first road iRace?

With a half decent iRating you won't face the real idiots in rookie either.

I know a couple of people who took the "start from pits" advice and when they got to D they struggled to get out of the lower splits where things were just as bad.

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

Rule #1, get out of rookies asap, start from pits and just avoid racing anyone.

And then spend weeks trying to get your iRating up so you are not racing with the muppets? I've always said this is terrible advice. It may be the quickest way to get a D licence but it is not the quickest way to get out of the low splits and away from the idiots.

If you are a good clean racer just race smart, let the fast idiots go, pull away from the slow idiots.

Quote from NotAnIllusion :

M3 Gr.A & Trento, but still, MP > more content.

Agreed, but with the sim community not being very forgiving they only have one chance to get it right IMO.

If they have major problems with the net code on first release of MP then some will still be slagging it off years later regardless of later fixes.

As much as I want MP as soon as possible I want them also to get it as right as possible first time.

Having a different opinion to you is not a fail

Quote from BlueFlame :

It's design WORKS. You can't ignore the facts. A 911 is THE best car in the braking zone when comparing to other GT cars and has extremely good traction out of slower speed corners.

How about giving us a source for these "facts" rather than just relying on CAPITAL LETTERS

Quote from CrAZySkyPimp :

Time to unsub from this thread, if I want to see random results boosting I can just go on Nikis blog, adios.

Thanks for letting us know

Quote from Bmxtwins :

So, I heard AC has best tire model ever that you catch air over curbs.

Ray, take this from a friend.

Stop making yourself look a fool.

To mention one physics flaw of AC in the iRacing thread, which has so many physics flaws that it's no longer funny, is foolish in the extreme.

Sorry mate, had to say it.

Sorry g27, and i dont know how tp see if its clipping.

Quote from BlueFlame :

If I cover your eyes with thick black paper. You become blind.

Except your not blind but the result is the same.

The track temp in iRacing is completely undynamic. Meaning it's just a static decrease or increase in grip depending on the numbered value. It's the same coding that gives grass different grip values to tarmac.

It really is not as complicated as YOU think it is.

Like I said it's just a glorified GPL.

I refer you to my bit in bold.

You are trying to have a argue with me about the accuracy of the grip physics. Something I have not expressed an opinion on.

For what it's worth, I think there are some HUGE problems with the physics in iRacing but this is not the point I am trying to make. (that's my first opinion on iRacing physics today, and funny enough they are similar to yours)

You seem to be skirting around my point though as you obviously are not grown up enough to accept that you made an error in your reasoning.

Anyone with an ounce of self respect would have said "Oh yeah, silly me" but not you. Instead you start attacking an opinion I haven't expressed.

Quote from anttt69 :

Thank you

Can you still earn credits by completing 8 races in certain series?

Yes you can.

Quote from BlueFlame :

They never HAD anything before. Do you not understand? The limitations of the game engine PREVENT any of this shit from being implemented properly.

I understand that currently if I get my tyres hot I have less grip. I also understand that currently different weather settings can give me more or less grip. The accuracy of these calculations I have not given an opinion on.

I was picking you up on this assumption

Quote from BlueFlame :

Since when did loss of tread depth soley cause lack of grip?

For your assumption to be true it must also be true that either there is no grip loss at all currently or that they will ditch all other ways of calculating grip with the new build.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Because it's iRacing that's why. It's impossible for them to actually build proper track temp or tyre wear on that particular game engine. It's just a GPL engine with better GFX. That's literally all it is.

Why can't you just grow a pair and admit that you went off on a rant based purely on an assumption you made from a single line of text?

You really thought they would dump all previous grip variables and replace it with just one? The thickness of the tyre?

Edit: They have made some really stupid decisions in the past (imho) but even the Canadian one can't honestly think they are that daft.

Quote from BlueFlame :

Well clearly. I didn't.

Well clearly. You should have thought about it a little more.

We already know that temperature is one of the factors. We also know that track temperature (well whatever the weather is set to anyway) can make a difference to grip levels. Why do you think that they would bin all the other reasons and make tire thickness the sole reason to lose grip?

Quote from BlueFlame :

- Improved/increased the loss of grip that occurs the thinner the tire tread rubber gets.

What the ****. Since when did loss of tread depth soley cause lack of grip?

All other arguments aside. Where do you get the word "solely" from? I read it as becoming an additional reason a tyre will lose grip.

Quote from release notes :

Cars will drive differently as the weather changes. You may find that you need to alter your
setup to get the most out of the car under different weather conditions.

doesn't this mean it's got some physics changes too?

Quote from dawesdust_12 :

BlueFlame, give them a break. It was a lot of work for the iRacing team to add a draw distance slider and call it fog.

Give it a rest you muppet.

Quote from R3DMAN :

Lol.

Going to do a 1hour race at oulton park with 100% fog, cars to pick from are the skippy, star mazda, L49 and L79..

Ive chosen the L49, i can see this ending in disaster! Lol

That race is being streamed
