True, forgot about that
I´ll be in for an hour then it´s F1 time

What an awsome motorsports weekend!
And UFC goes of on Saturday just to top the weekend off

DOH! Just finished signup but then again, I did the 2 months free code. 12 bucks for 3 months ain't bad :/

Glad to see you have signed up! Now we just need to gather the rest of the regulars from GT Academy (I was trying to talk Forced into it)

That's a pretty good time for that track, My personal best is a 1:03.014 and the faster guys are dipping into the 02.xxx, the world record is a 1.01:337.

I think that was me with the WR (for fastest race lap), although I have gone a bit quicker in practice (1:01.25x iirc). It's also worth noting that the Roadster (RHD) is slightly faster around Oakayama Short, which is most likely down to gearing and possibly some difference in suspension and weight distribution.

Now I just need to get out of my lazy mode and start finding some speed in the Skippy

Totally! The UFC fight should be enough entertainment in itself

 

[hampus_dh]

Agreed Dos Santos vs Carwin - Total War. But a short one guaranteed

 

[The Outlaw]

DP...sorry

Yea, it's going to be pretty brutal to watch, as these guys are probably the two hardest hitters in UFC I wouldn't like to be the one on the receiving end of when of their bombs

On other news... Massa is fastest in Practice 1 @Montreal??? What is wrong with the world? Could we see the Aston win at Le Mans?

 

[hampus_dh]

Practice says nothing about the pace really
For all we know Massa could be the person with the least amount of fuel in the car while the other had 5-10 laps of extra fuel.

WTH? I haven´t seen the practice yet and you fool me like that Massa was not the fastest guy on track in FP1.

 

[Rudi Raser]

the fastest WR form a Rookie n00b ever i guess.

Choate's trying to pick up a used pc sometime soon, I'm amazed forced hasn't gotten it, I just figured he had since he'd been offline for so long on psn. We'll get them yet!

You realize now I'm going to have to go and beat that WR time

IM SO LOST!!! Lol there's so much new info I don't understaaaaand :'(

No $$$$

 

[hampus_dh]

Signed up for the Corvette race now (Fixed)
Have only done 20 or so laps and did a .26.2 in practice session.

Tune in if you want to see some mayhem in T1.

Ok go to Rapidshare.com choose upload, then click "select files" or something like that.

Then go into My Documents/iRacing/replay and take the replay file.

When it´s loaded and done post the link here so i can download it.

Ok here's the replay:

[hampus_dh]

Thanks, will be fun to watch someone elses race aswell (as long it lasted anyway)

 

[Rudi Raser]

you want report Tiago?
for what? because he was sometimes offtrack and got mostly bumped from the cars behind him?

 

[RACECAR]

I hear that the New Tire model hasn't been finished and released yet. Does this mean the new Nationwide car that they intended on debuting with it isn't finished yet either?

 

[Rudi Raser]

Ha!
Did you see that! That guy is incredible, and his profile picture is Ayrton Senna, his bio reads "In memory of Ayrto Senna da Silva"...

What a disgrace!

 

[hampus_dh]

Ok Javier here is the cut replay. To me it looks intentional as he´s for sure trying to block you even though you are side by side.

The incident on the second lap though with some other guy where you went off was your own fault and not his. He had no place to go there and you and the other guy changed lines during braking which is a no no.

Anyway back to the replay, here it is.
https://rapidshare.com/files/820416000/Tiago_Carinhato.rpy

Next time you want to protest someone, when you are saving the video you will see a scissor icon. if you press that (for example just before the incident)
You can then press play, fast forward or simply move the slider until after the incident is over and then press save. It will then save the desired part.

Also, you might find this interesting.

Your gas pedal is done. it doesn´t give 100% and sometimes it was around 95% only.
That will give you some time alone with either fixed potentiometer or new pedals.

And, it looks like you are heel´n´toeing right?
Do you have autoclutch on? If yes, turn that off.

And you are hitting the limiter every time you upshift. You lose probably a full second with these things combined over a lap.

Also, after you have calibrated your pedals. Check above where you set FFB strength and you will see a brake slider. Read the text there and set it to the correct value for potentiometer brakes. Everytime you hit the brakes, you lock the wheels.
Be a little smoother with the brakes otherwise in the higher classes you will have alot of punctures.

SOON.

I have a similar problem with my accelerator pedal. It starts twitching at the top between 90 and 100 percent and then it settles, this useually happens when I press it hard but sometimes it's just when it's beig pressed to the bottom, even with light pressure. Wht can I do about it? This has caused me to lose positions sometimes, especially on high speed turns before a straight line. There is no way I can get pedals by themselves, so what can I do?

 

[hampus_dh]

What pedals do you have?

 

[Rudi Raser]

JAV, i´m sure this protest will be not accept. he was driving his way, and what you are calling blocking, he can call it defensing his line.


but i don´t say that was good racing from him.

 

[hampus_dh]

That wasn´t defensive driving by any means. You can´t defend anything if the person is right next to you.
Notice after the incident how he tries to hit Javier 2 times but misses him.

 

[Rudi Raser]

i watched only from his view, and i see it like i said. or better, you can see it like that.

 

[SohnVonStig]

How do I watch the replay?

 

[hampus_dh]

Maybe it´s a good idea to watch it from all angles before making a judgement

Sohn: Put the file in My Documents/iRacing/Replay

Then go to iracing site and click on Events/Replays in the bar above Press Room/Dashboard logo.

 

[motortrend]

What pedals do you have?

I have G25 pedals, They have been used for more than 2 years, maybe even 3

 

[hampus_dh]

search the iracing forum for G25 broken pedals or something.

i think you have two options,
1. all you need to do is clean the potentiometer.
2. the meter is broken and you have to buy a new one. should be relatively cheap i think.

worst case scenario is replacing the pedals but i highly doubt that.

either way, next pedals you buy, MUST be loadcell for brake. it's just a game changer for sure and you can then really start relaxing with the brake and really lean on it during overtaking moves, trailbrake etc.

Thanks New question!

How do I make my steering wheel more than 220 degrees? It calibrates from lock to lock (physically) but then only detects to 110 in each direction

what lock does the wheel have in general?
do you calibrate it properly in the game?
sorry might be stupid questions but i have no idea at the moment

It's a DFGT so 900 degrees. I follow all the instructions properly if that's what you mean. The problem seems to be with the driver... When I'm calibrating in the logitech driver, it has the "x-axis" and "y-axis" and the x-axis maxes out when I've turned the wheel 110 degrees to the left

PS Watched the replay, it looks to me like it was a blatant block on Tiago's part, he did move to the inside before you javier so the first move is not the problem. It looked to me like he went back to the outside to try to block the red/blue car, realized he wasn't a threat and so came back down to block you, thus hitting you in the process.
