Iracing

[MozzMann]

Yes but in it's defence quite some time ago, the BIG crunch was the way they have their hand out for just about everything

[dontyellpl0x]

Fair enough. Surely the more they have to offer the better for us as their customers.

[MozzMann]

Not really because there are far better simulations around than iRacing,

There thousands of people that build stand alone Mods and or Tracks and help convert various Tracks and Vehicles from one Sim to another.
Remember these Mods and Tracks are freely available to the Sim Racing community FREE and they are made with love and passion for accuracy that cannot be matched by mobs like iRacing and SimRaceway where you pay for the content.

[dontyellpl0x]

Is love and passion for accuracy really as accurate as laser scanning?

[zebra]

nope.

[MozzMann]

Laser scanning is only part of the story, there are many different factor's that give you the feel of various race tracks , BUT I concur Laser scanning does not make the track any more accurate, I have driven on some IRL and then in the sim both laser and non laser, and to be honest I could not detect any difference.

Wanting to get into this, is there a SAU league or something? I have the game and put an hour into it last night.. I want to get bathurst / PI is there any packages or have to buy individual? also whats best V8 supercar to buy..? or they all the same? Why is there 2 ford V8s with different costs :s

Sau league - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452253-2015-sau-vic-iracing-championship/

Unfortunately there isn't a v8 package. You will have to buy things individually. There are two falcon v8s because one is pre-cotf and the other cotf. Both the falcon and commodore cotf are identical. I haven't seen the prices of the falcons but I imagine the pre-cotf is cheaper seeing as it has been retired.

[MozzMann]

If your after GT2 GT3 Endurance, V8 Super's Off Road and so much more there are many various mods available for rFactor, Asseto Corsa and Game Stock Car, and after you buy the main sim all other content is freely available.

Have heard that they recently redid the tyre physics model in iRacing, has anyone noticed the slides more controllable and easier to catch in recent updates?

I am thinking about getting back into it and renewing my subscription once I get a new wheel and setup (my g25 died a few weeks ago).

Out of curiosity what hardware are you guys running (wheel, pedals, shifter, button boxes etc)?

[dontyellpl0x]

They redid the tyre physics not too long ago yeah. It's still not amazing, you can slide the cars a little.. But no drifting. Really depends on the car as well.

I've got a fanatec cswv2, cspv1, th8rs shifter, dsd button box

[zebra]

Nice

I run a standard G27 setup

[MozzMann]

But are you using the Profiler and setting the wheel ie controller up to maximise it's usability.

[dontyellpl0x]

As in the Logitech profiler on my fanatec wheel? No

Unless that was to Zeb

Soz and Yes that was for Zeb

I raced quite a bit, but got sidetracked by Assetto Corsa which has a few drift cars and tracks. I'm relatively decent in the Star Mazda - usually like 2 seconds off the aliens, however that's good enough to win the occasional race when better drivers aren't around XD

I'm slow as shit in the V8s though. Just can't get my head around those vehicles. Understeering shitbuckets.

[MozzMann]

The Aussie V8's in Assetto and GSC as well as rFactor WILL go exactly where you point them and it is ALL in the Wheel and the actual setup as it applies to the actual car or Mod.

as long as you're on the gas and the rear wheels are slipping

otherwise it's understeer city

there's a huge learning curve with them

[MozzMann]

No as long as you set both your wheel AND the Simulation up, then you won't suffer the understeer,

Hey guys,

Digging up an old thread here..... but are any of you guys still on iRacing?
