Weird how the glitch happened to everyone, haven't seen that until now. I've only started like this once, and that was due to really sketchy connection that led to me getting DC'd halfway through lap 1. I imagine my car appeared to teleport around on everyone else's screens.Lucky me was allowed to play today I am back at DR B. First race was bad because of a weird start glitch. Anyone ever had this happend? (vid)
I always rev the engine at the start because thats just what I do but I did not expect there not being a count down. Standing starts in daily races confirmed?
Me too, slow down to scrub a penalty before crossing the line only to realize there is another lap left lol, I’ve done that a couple of times.
Sounds like a missed some fun last night, hopefully tonight will be just as good.
Oh right, I noticed last night that if you rev the engine up in the Mustang before the rolling start begins you get a little boost it seems when it kicks into gear for the rolling start to begin, I wasn’t redlining it, just feathering it at around half rpm. Maybe I just smoked one too many Lefties but I’m pretty sure it was working.
I just thought of something. I have a flight simulator that is probably 15 years old, and it has an option to use real-time weather. That would be pretty cool in this game. I can picture people waiting for temperature and humidity to be just right before doing their Q laps. Everyone would turn into amateur meteorologists.
I would imagine that this time of year, we'd be equipping snow tires to race at Nordschleife.

Or messing with other settings
I've always used that trick when I first started off in GT Sport. Rev up to near the power band of the engine to give it a little kick across the start.Oh right, I noticed last night that if you rev the engine up in the Mustang before the rolling start begins you get a little boost it seems when it kicks into gear for the rolling start to begin, I wasn’t redlining it, just feathering it at around half rpm.

I had fun toying with the settings. With the right wind, you can stay airborne in a Cessna, while going backwards. Of course, I flew a 747 under the Golden Gate bridge, and tried to land it on the smallest runways I could find, etc. Too bad they quit making them.I loved MS Flight Simulator, a shame they stopped after FSX, I've played all of them since FS4. Toying with the wind was fun, get the windspeed fast enough and do a standing start take off with a Boeing 747
Can't beat that in your jumping Mustang
PD could at least change the time of day for the tracks, although that might get annoying for those that can only race at night. Real time weather would be awesome though. Or any weather, what's taking so long.
Tons of fun. 👍 I logged way more hours on that flight sim, than GT.It was a lot of fun. I flew one of those through the London tower bridge.
The space underneath looked a little too cramped lol.
There were some tricky landing fields, also due to a bug some landing strips in South America were on a 1000 feet high dirt pad sticking out of the landscape. Can't fail that landing! The hardest part was turning around and take off again, although just driving off the edge would do the trick.
FSX was great. I 'discovered' there were great lakes in Africa I never knew about. Himalayas, Alps, Grand Canyon were my favorite spots. Flying from Grand Canyon Ntl Park through the canyon in a Cessna to arrive in Las Vegas at dusk, so relaxing. Landing a helicopter on mount rainier, or oil platform, or hopping around the lakes in Northern Canada in a De Havilland Beaver.
Maybe one day we'll get a driving sim tied to Google street data, go anywhere you want in the world. FS' procedural terrain generation was great at the time. That game did wonders for my world geography. It would be so awesome with VR integration.
Anyway Gran Turismo took over my life after FS burned itself down with Microsoft Flight.
