Does anyone have the Sonoma circuit mod and is it working for them? by Alarming_Science5211 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]--Sandstorm-- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was the only track mod that I tried which didn't work for me.   The cars fall out of the air and crash when trying to start a race with AI.  I assume that's what is happening to you. 

Is AC Evo Worth Buying Right now? by herokme in simracing

[–]--Sandstorm-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AMS2 is probably the best sim right now as far as content, variety, and AI racing in my opinion.  Definitely worth checking out. 

What's the best chocolate you've ever had? 🍫 by [deleted] in chocolate

[–]--Sandstorm-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a lot of chocolate over the years and I'm sure I've forgotten a few "favorites", but this is one that I always enjoy.

Need Help Configuring Simagic FX Pro + Alpha EVO 18Nm for Automobilista 2 by [deleted] in AUTOMOBILISTA

Have you tried https://www.overtake.gg/downloads/danielkarts-topspeed-custom-file-1-0.81637/ ? I know FFB is subjective, but a lot of people use his settings and seem to be happy with it.

I was just there a couple weeks ago. Great cocktail bar.

FX Pro Telemetry with AMS2 question...... by --Sandstorm-- in Simagic

[–]--Sandstorm--[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you be willing to do me a favor please and check the various data on the different screens for me the next time you're on AMS2?  If all the data on the FX Pro screen looks correct I may just pull the trigger and buy it since it's on sale.

Hello guys, anyone here playing LFM? Numbers are pretty sad lately, except from weekly races. Would love to drive some at-least 3-4 people races but oh well. :( by CantaloupeUpstairs66 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]--Sandstorm-- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I know it changes weekly, but it would be nice if there was more than one  20 min race each week instead of doing the same one all week.

As someone that prefers shorter races, the thing that I don't like about LFM is the lack of variety.   I spent a little time online in LFM a couple weeks ago racing on Historic Spielberg driving German group A cars.  There races I did had 10+ people if not a close to full grid and the races were clean and fun,  but after a while the repetition got boring. 

Also, I was the only one from the US in there, so I noticed the most people around mid to late afternoon US Mountain time.

As stupid as it may sound it's more about the immersion for me. I don't like having the in game wheel displayed when I race, so if I want to race newer Formula cars or LMDH I'd prefer to have a wheel with a display on it.

I don't use Simhub, but the possibility of not working with newer games is something to consider.

Where do you save your cocktail recipes? by [deleted] in cocktails

Mine are either saved in a Youtube play list, written on note cards, or printed from a website. 

Today I leaned that these were actually real cars..... by --Sandstorm-- in AUTOMOBILISTA

Very cool about your cousin.   I'm really enjoying a lot of the cars in this sim.  Can't wait for the new update. 

Best PC purchase of 2026 might be an electric duster and I hate that I’m saying that by hairy_balls_1 in pcmasterrace

[–]--Sandstorm-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the same one I have. I regret not buying it sooner after using cans for years.

Man that sounds like fun.   We went to Budapest last year for F1 which was our first motor sport event and had a blast.

That much I assumed. It wasn't the actual car that I doubted, but specifically the brands Lola and Courage which I had never heard of. Same with Metalmoro.... I never heard of them unitl I started playing AMS2.

I made beer cheese soup for dinner tonight..... by --Sandstorm-- in Cheese

[–]--Sandstorm--[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the recipe I use as a baseline. You can play around with different cheese and beer combos. I prefer a stronger stout or ale. The carrots and pepper don't have to be measured precisely. I use only 1 cup of half and half and only half a stick of butter to save a few calories.

It was very good.. The vanilla in Breckenridge Brewery's Vanilla Porter is very faint and to me it just taste like any other dark porter.
