so at spa, i now get 80 frames solid all around the track (i have a limiter on) but when i go to a night race.... all fps is lost. such a shame i swear. it wasnt like this before the update. i could race IRL on night tracks and run solid 80 fps in races. so wierd.

If I recall correctly, the new dynamic shadow maps kill FPS at night tracks. Check the release notes for more info to see if this is true.
 
Had a to of the Kia today, such a fun car to drive and in my opinion it has the best ffb of any front wheel drive car in any game I've tried.

Except for the ABS FFB (same problem as the MX5). But yeah, its awesome to feel the tug of the front-wheel drive!

It has always been a good car, my only hope is that the Global Challenge series is kept as an open setups one!

I hope so. The caddy fixed setup were terrible but when I spent 5 minutes on making a setup it felt better.
 
Just posted my two new McLaren paints for S2. There's 2 versions and I can't decide which is best. Please head over to the link here to see photos. Feedback on which is better would be much appreciated :)
 
Some of them practice sessions with Vettes are lethal lol. The races are even worse. I had a race yesterday where half the field crashed at Eau Rouge. :sick:

Edit: needing a setup for the Vette at Laguna. Looked on the forums, downloaded a setup but the file is a .rpy file, as opposed to a .sto file which usually works for me. Is there a way to convert it to a .sto?

.rpy files are replay files. .sto files are setups. So what you downloaded would've been a replay file.

the dynamic shadows dont work on night races, maybe their is a bug and they still do. its very odd to me.

i prefer the pink with orange just fun yet classy to me.
 
...two days in a row... this double post stuff will not happen again... sorry. wish it was easier to quote people than clicking the quote box under their message
 
i was ranked 2nd for a while. drive a white red and vette :) i dont think it is you. the vette has alot more "rolling through the center". this is what has changed my love for this car. it just clicks for me now everywhere.
Black and blue vette, I only saw you in the Relative box. I still need time in that car

The Caddy feels great now, I might have to start racing it again..

I second that motion:tup:👍! Its got a nice controllable oversteer to it now, it's actually fun! I'm using a setup that some guy posted as a decent baseline for S1 it's still decent:) I very rarely race because I don't have the time to practice but I may race the caddy this weekend 💡

the people in practice were 60% mature 40% immature, most huge wrecks were on the top Eau Rouge between pit exit and the first turn from that point. I approached one where the guy on the right deliberately cut 2 guys on the left and smoke and cartwheels ensued, but they were on the left in the grass so I went full throttle through completely ignoring it, but the mclaren in front of me panicked and brake checked me but I made a no lift chicane out of him and went on my merry way :crazy:.

to add to the immaturity of the week, I was messing around with the Gyro cam last night and placed it in the cockpit seat and turned both pitch and roll gyro on via CTRL + F12 menu and went to the last chicane at spa and cut it, jumping the curb and seeing every surface in the cockpit flash by in about .5 seconds... that was my immature moment of WK13

Well I'm probably about to get a suspension, some guy was getting all butthurt over something that happened at the start of one of the 24 hours of fun races at spa just now, and he started making fun of me and saying I suck and all that stuff. Then I crash and go into the pits and guess what? He's waiting for me to leave. So I leave and he's right behind me, but I still have loads of damage so I spin out. He's still making fun of me so I decide to just wreck into him. Now he's going to file a protest against me and he has the replay in his favor. I'm screwed aren't I?
 
Right got a question.... I was driving the mclaren before the new build the gear indication wasn't pixilated but now after the update it is really pixelated this happend to anyone else?

I'm finding some in car shadows are pixelated too

Was this via voice chat? Just state your version, bullying someone is as much of an offense as wrecking someone.
Voice logs are always kept, so Nim will be able to hear exactly what the guy was saying.

I wouldnt think you would get a suspension its in the fun week. If you do its stupid
 
Any UK&I driver want to team up with me in te Kia touring cup at the iracing forums? It's in the UK&I section.
 
That the Sunday night one? I'd love to but I can't guarantee making it to more than about 3 rounds.

Depends what time the races are and whether you can cope with having somebody who isn't ultra fast.

I think it starts from 7:30pm. Finishes around 10, practice, quali, sprint and feature races. And I don't consider myself fast by any stretch.

:dunce: ahah. Thanks Mad. I got the impression he was giving a setup file for the lap time he quoted as opposed to a replay file.
 
Woah that seat height trick that Shinya told me is class. In the formula cars your very low down and can only see the top of the tyres. It's a great seat position for the Lotus 79.

I hope i wont. Honestly looking back i could have handled it better but at the same time, i'm not the type of person who will just sit back and take that. My only wish is that i will meet him again and beat him, and say "WHO SUCKS NOW!!!!!!! YYYYYEEEeeeAAAAHHHHH!!!":p

But really though, these fun races are really fun aside from that one incident. Now that i got my new computer everything looks amazing and im so much better now that i dont play at 15-20fps :)
 
Just got a year’s membership today.
Tried the Caddy in the 24 hour du fun and it sounds great. The Kia looks a lot of fun too.
 
Rules are rules though regardless of what session you should drive fairly and not abuse anyone.

Btw Charlotte legends in street stocks. No. Don't want.

May be too low for the 79 then. Or, does the 79 have super small tires? Can't remember as I don't own it. Generally when you make a seat for a Formula Car, you should be able to see half of the distance from the top of the tire to the top of the Wheel rim on the inside sidewall.
 
So... how do you do it? I can't find anything on the iRacing forums about it..
