Hahaha that’s awesome. I went to bed shortly after the kiddo last night. I would have been absolutely no fun if I would’ve gotten on lol

I found another solution to my brake pedal calibration issue. I basically need to quit being a wuss and use the pedal lol. I found that since I can’t change the game calibration I just need to change my own personal calibration. In the pits before entering the track I just press the brakes as hard as I can/as hard as I’ll ever use them. This sets the benchmark calibration in the game. Now, when I go out to practice I’m forced to use up all of the brake pedal throw from the beginning instead of chasing it throughout a race. I’ve had to change up my technique a bit but it’s actually starting to grow on me. The biggest thing is lifting my heel off of the base when using the brakes. Different than what I’ve been doing but I think it adds a level of realism to it. We’ll see how this weekend goes. :cheers:

I will be looking into a load cell pedal in the future though.

Who’s the resident computer guru of the gang?
Is this a good build for iracing and other sims?
No vr, no need for 4K, maybe 3 screens down the road but for now either off 1 monitor and or hook it up to my 60” which isn’t 4K.

You will want a better video card. Let me see what I can find for you. Mind PMing me your budget and I’ll take a look.
 
I recommend a tower we did alot of research on this and nate confirmed that a laptop can't really handle iracing even if it is a gaming laptop.

Exactly I had all the guys help me do research and we found alot of pcs that are good quality and wont break the bank either. This is the tower I got it runs well most people say upgrade the ram which isn't a bad idea but it will run just fine with the 8gb

I know it’s killing me. I log on hoping that everything will be magically working better and it’s not. It’s decent if I’m practicing by myself but when I race online it’s like playing NASCAR ‘99 on Nintendo 64 or worse. IRacing should really update their minimum requirements page. Even though my laptop is well above the minimum it’s still terrible. I guess if I had any advice for anybody getting into iracing it would be to aim wayyy above the minimum requirements.

I needed a laptop and at the same time wanted to go iracing. It seemed like a logical and economical way to have my cake and eat it too considering the laptop I bought exceeded all of iracing’s minimal requirements. I’m also not that computer savvy and learning as I go.

Indeed, and for anybody else who is kind of new to the computer spec-ing. Minimum requirements usually means the bare minimum to be able to run the game. Which means allllllllll of the graphics turned either down to lowest setting or some things turned off. THen you are limited on how much can be processed at a given time which means servers with not a lot of people in them.

THat's why a games minimum requirements are misleading. If they offer a maximum requirements, go for that! Lol

I've only been on 3 weeks dont steal the thunder. I'm stuck in d6 till the end of the season because I got out of rookies right at week one. Right now with my sr I'll be promoted to c at the end of the season. So this is my only chance to even run the ss

Have you tried the ty majesky trick? A bowl of ice covered with saran wrap under the laptop and a fan blowing on it. Seems the big problem with laptops is heat bogging things down.
 
Those on iracing feel free to add me on there. John Gifford. Once the “rona bug” stimulus hits the bank I’ll be getting a pc setup to get back on there.

Lol I have not tried that but it doesn’t seem to get hot when I play. But I have no idea what “hot” really is.
