It does cause input lag but it's there to stop screen tearing when you have an FPS higher than the refresh rate of your monitor. By capping your FPS with VSync it's just slowing down the amount of information sent to your PC because before the frame can be drawn it has to know all the information from your controller etc and it can only check for changes in position or for button presses every 60th of a second (if it's capped to 60 FPS). This is from what I've heard it could be wrong though.

There is an option though in iRacing to cap your FPS without VSync.

Its not like this was going to be a surprise. However im definitely not going to buy it though seeing as my computer probably wont be able to run it assuming its the Nordschliefe aswell since the recent tracks i dont get very good FPS.

It'll be death to computer more than likely but I'll give it a go

 

[Roush_fan_99]

Isn't that VSync? I'm not sure if iRacing has that but I do know that in the video options iRacing allows you to lock the FPS you're playing at. Mine was locked at 203 but I realised that I could take it off and now I get like 300 FPS...

That's not what I said, I said the ability to assign a frame rate lock to each individual track. Vsync causes input lag as mentioned.

Hey all,

just watched a video from "the simpit" and I saw that Shaun Cole was using an ingame RPM gauge for iracing.
Now i know that I can move the ingame HUD by pressing ALT+K but how do I get that RPM gauge that he has ?

Thanks

 

[richidoo]

It might be a plug in. I have never seen that before.

I've searched through the iRacing forums aswell, but simply couldn't find anything.

I do remember reading though, that with the latest iRacing update, one was able to add and remove HUD items ... I just cant figure out, or find how to ...

many thanks !

I believe Ctrl K will highlight all hud items , which you can then drag around the screen to your preferred positions. Ctrl K again to lock the positions.

I didn't realize Shaun was doing his own thing, good for him. He's got quite the stage there too.

I was really glad when he did it, I really really dislike Gangi. Here's his latest tantrum for those of you who haven't seen it:

Yeah, I saw that, that's just ridiculous and childish. That's the fourth public episode against a community member that comes to mind, not that I'm keeping track or anything.

I've just recently started watching empty box's videos and they're pretty good. Usually it's tough for me to watch whole race videos but his commentaries are good enough to make me watch the whole video.

I'm a little confused, is Shaun still in Spokane, WA or did he move back to California?

The last ISRTV video I tried watching was the video he did about iracing driver swaps I think it was. I only made about 1 min. of the video and had to turn it off. He had the thrustmaster logo in 5 different places on the screen. Logo on shirt. logo on back of seat. logo on 2 monitors and TH8A box beside him, in a video about driver swaps. From that point on I decided Im done watching Inside Commercial TV. We already know the outcome of his review anyway, 8/10.

Yeah, I unsubscribed back when the whole Daytona 2.4 thing happened, after that I haven't watched one episode. Just can't stand it anymore.

He went back to California after whatever happened with Gangi happened.

Do any of you guys plan on running NEO endurance series? It looks like a great one to join

Some of the northwest guys are going to, I don't feel comfortable running as a team because I'd hate to be that guy who ruins it for everyone else

Who has a wheel, pc, subscription to iracing and an itch to get back behind the wheel.


THIS GUY!!!

Ready to start racing again. Layed around on GT6 tonight. All good fun until the ZR1 at Silverstone. Man the frame rate and choppy screen game me a headache with in like 4 laps. I says. Yea, iRacing is where it's at for me.

So, anything a person on a 4-6 month hiatus needs to know?

Tried to keep up with all that's going on.

Look forward to seeing some of you on track again.

Driver swaps and monza are in the next build, the ring is coming in 2015, other than that not much

I'll run if people here want to make a team.

V8 Supercars are also getting updated to current spec and the new Holden is coming too...or atleast i think it is.

 

[richidoo]

Monza has been delayed until 2015 S1 probably. This build will be Gateway Oval, Holden V8SC and Driver Swaps.

Whats people thoughts on the c6.r, worth getting? popular race series?

Thinking of making my first purchases. Gonna get Watkins Glen and Spa and a car but not sure which one yet

I love the car, but the series is all but dead. Checked on Wed. of last week and not 1 race had went official.


Edit: Just checked for this week and no official races yet this week either.

 

[Silver-Sylph]

As of right now based on popularity i would pass on it.

 

[richidoo]

The Ford is making a comeback. It's an awesome car. So is the Ruf because you can run 3 series with it.

 

[velly]

Always an interesting subject when it comes to what to buy.
I agree with @richidoo The RUF is the best but as it will run in the RUF Challenge (C Class) and GT3 and World Sport Car Series (Both B Class)

Even if you only hold a D Class license you can still take part in the practice sessions.

Tracks, have a look for common tracks that turn up in a few series. Bathurst, Philip Island, Brands Hatch, Donington are a few what are used in the Global Challenge/SFR/RUF/GT3/Grand Touring/Mx5 Advanced

This way you can user the Free cars (Caddy, Spec Ford etc) and the RUF in many different series.

For my first buy I get all the tracks I required for the Spec Ford Racer so I can run the wholes series this season.
I did buy Bathurst,Brands Hatch and Philip Island too. I also bought the RUF.
It did cost me about 120 bucks to buy this all but I now have a massive scope of what I can race. I will be looking to take part in the Skippy next season so I will get what ever I need for that.

Make sure you buy in bulk, get the money off I think you get 20% off when you buy 6 things.

Hope this helps

Just in time my good friend! Did they mention we are getting 5 or 4 Aston Martins?? We are also getting the New Gen V8 Super Cars, Holden and Ford in time for the Bathurst 1000 in a couple of weeks? DX11 before 2015 is over and a possible GT-LM BMW Z4?
And finally, I need a co-driver for the CMS Spa 2hrs coming up in November, you up for it?

Awesome awesome car, done thousands of miles and hundreds of races on it. I would hold that purchase till we get the Aston Martin DBR-9 GT1...

It was 4 but i think i read on the forums that only the Holden will be the new gen, i guess they didnt have time to get the Ford updated.

 

[velly]

Both the Falcon and the Holden V8's will be based on the COTF (this was comfirmed by the iracing staff)
The falcon will not get a new body up date but the under pinnings will be the same as the holden (so handling/performace will be the same)

Its not like the Ford's appearance changed much anyway lol.
