Re: Racing Season 2021 (Spoiler Alert)

What a shitty way for the season to end. Lewis drove masterfully all day, but was a sitting duck after Masi decided partial-rule-following was allowed. Credit to Red Bull for making the right tire call, credit to Max for cleanly passing Lewis to win. But that sucked. If you want it to end under gree...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

One other nice update is you can make the halo/aeroscreens transparent (in the chassis setup menu), makes it a lot easier to follow another car.

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Not surprisingly, there are plenty of 2021 IndyCar collections on Trading Paints to make your AI races more immersive. Fittingly I qualified right behind Dalton Kellett in my first race attempt.

Re: Racing Season 2021 (Spoiler Alert)

My prediction: ... Red Bull finds something to b*tch about. This is probably the easiest prediction of all, as an organization they've really shown their *sses lately. I haven't been able to watch any coverage this weekend, Abu Dhabi has been my least favorite track for years so my hopes are low, b...

RIP Big Al, a legend amongst legends. Very thankful IMS was able to get all of the four-time winners together after Helio's win and for Al to get one last celebration of his accomplishments there. The back-end of his career is fascinating to me, he won the championship in two of his final three full...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

I don't touch setups at all, so it could be something that is fixable, but the default setup has so much understeer it's crazy.

Re: Racing Season 2021 (Spoiler Alert)

It’s the same story every f*cking time Hamilton has the audacity to try to mass Max. Max is a menace and his team is too whiny to actually play the role of bad guys. Try on the black hat, you’ve earned it.

I bought Automobilista 2 last week, planned on buying at full price and it was a pleasant surprise to see it half off. The extra content is also on sale, I bought the Racin' USA bundle that includes the upcoming IndyCar content in addition to a previously-released IMSA pack (Cadillac DPi is the high...

Re: Racing Season 2021 (Spoiler Alert)

Last weekend's race goes on the list of "signature Lewis Hamilton drives," right? Controlled, determined, and blistering fast. Now, I'm going to rant a little bit about Max & Red Bull. Anyone else think it is BS that Red Bull has now had to fix their rear wing three weekends in a row in park ferme c...

I did the same thing, haha. I believe the ability to edit character appearance/voice comes with your first house--that's when I made the changes, just not sure if it happens sooner.

Forza Horizon 5

I saw a few familiar faces on the leaderboards when playing over the weekend, who else is planning to pick this up once the regular version unlocks for everyone tomorrow? What a gorgeous game on the Xbox Series X and the quick load times make it easy to pick up for just a couple races if that's all ...

Re: Racing Season 2021 (Spoiler Alert)

Well, I was wrong. Surely in the archives here I have posts saying COTA isn't a good home for F1, the event will eventually fail, or something similar. I've certainly thought it plenty over the years, especially after the rain-soaked year seemingly put the track on financial thin ice. But holy hell,...

I love the McLaren rim, it was a Father's Day present from my sons (I think my youngest was most excited), even though I'm probably only using about 10% of what it is capable of doing. It does make me laugh when using it on American Truck Simulator though, which I've started playing as a nice chill ...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

Getting a proper rig is the first step to really diving down the rabbit hole with this :lol: You aren't kidding, haha. The feedback through the wheel base is so much better with this rig, I'm able to catch the car a lot easier and drive with more confidence. Of course the next thought it "if it's t...

Ha, thanks Terry. I finally finished getting it set up last night and turned a few laps and wow, what a difference from the Playseat. Starting an all-new learning curve with the brakes, in particular. I can finally crank up the force and maybe even stiffen up the loadcell now that everything is lock...

Congratulations to Alex Palou, a very deserving champion and breath of fresh air for IndyCar. Unflappable and relentlessly optimistic, his season would have looked even more dominant were it not for engine problems (that started in pre-season testing) and Rinus unplugging his brain on a restart.

Re: Fifa 22

I said nothing about the visuals. That said, they are garbage. Last years graphics were a lot cleaner. They've introduced some motion blur and shot blur that is REALLY distracting. The player models are also much to short and squatty, especially taller defenders. It's almost distracting how bad the...

Re: Racing Sim Thread, Part II

I'm a big fan of the USF2000, looks like a fun season ahead for it.

Just ordered an Advanced SimRacing rig to replace my Playseat Challenge and am hoping to be back racing in the next couple weeks. Moving sucks, but having a dedicated office where my racing stuff can go is a gamechanger.

Re: Kicking The Tires On A New TV...Advice Needed

Thanks for all the info here, fellas. Comcast has completely botched moving my services so I'm going to shop around once my contract with them is up. My wife loves the Tivo experience though, so that's one thing that could get in the way of switching to YTTV.

Re: Racing Season 2021 (Spoiler Alert)

What a delightful ending and podium celebration—joy is fun in sports! Now, I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a big Lewis fan but dislike Max more: Max is 90%+ to blame for the incident. On lap one Max did his usual “I give you no room, so back out or crash” move to Lewis and Lewis conceded. Lewis ...
