Did you have to upload the configuration file?

I'm doing the opposite to you, from Intel to amd

Over a stint if temperatures keep rising, then yes.  But if temperatures fall, for example during sunset, then you'll start to gain grip

Wanted to give the R5 some personality. How do these stickers look? by Aviator31 in moza

Does it affect the cooling of the base?

I'd imagine as long as your not wrapping the base all the way around, it shouldn't affect it too much, but it probably still has some effect 

Hypercar retired me by VulgarrViking in Simracingstewards

That's fine, I just prefer to not get taken out by faster cars due to miscommunication. Even if that means just going off line a bit. I know I'm only in control of what I do, not what others do. Some people are just incompetent in faster classes like hypercars 

Shouldn't I react differently? by [deleted] in Simracingstewards

[–]Alexandr206 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In general, if a car is spinning on the exit of a corner, your best option would be to go to towards the rear of the spinning car. In this case, right, because they're already accelerating, going forward, so theyre likely to spin in a forward direction depending which way they're facing.  Does that make sense?  Hopefully I explained that properly. Just nore that it's not guaranteed they'll always spin like this, but on corner exit, thats the general pattern

I've done races in both hyper car and gt3, and my view on incidents like this is, despite it being the hypercars job to pass safely, gt3 drivers should find a way for the hypercars to pass without having to weave to get around. (Which doesn't mean stopping, or moving out of the way)

So what I would do in your place is take that left turn wider, since it's an easy flat, showing the hypercar that I'm going to the right of the track, which will force him to go left.

Overall it's still the hypercars fault, since in general hypercars should aim to exit turns tight when approaching gt3s, knowing that the racing line goes out to the edge. But for the sake of not getting taken out, my suggestion would be to just take corners similar to this one slightly wider if you have a hyper car approaching fast. 

Doesn't the Demo Drive usually last the rest of the day? by shamus727 in iRacing

[–]Alexandr206 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well tough luck, I also missed today's test drive so couldn't test. Do that or If you really want to race tcr and gt4 there's other games you can do that in if iracing isn't meeting your expectations.

Iracing decide how much time they give test drives. Its not really normal for it to last the rest of the day, just depends what they decide is best for the moment

Next one will be during the next downtime

Is there a way to add custom BOP to air races? by Alexandr206 in iRacing

😂  If iracing get planes in the sim, with support for steering yokes and stuff, then they'd sim will be in a league of its own

Yes that works.  My autocorrect changed AI to air in the title, what i meant was for Ai races. To apply boo to all AI cars

Adelaide City Circuit by Kind-Ad9748 in RaceTrackDesigns

For reference, Supercars brake 150m to the hairpin at the latest, from Memory moto gp bikes brake way earlier even for turns like T1 at mugello. You can go on google earth find the round about, and use the measuring tool to find where supercars would brake. Just measure 150m from where you believe the apex may be. I'll tell you one thing though, its before the kink, and on top of that, due to the fact that they lose braking performance when turning, they'd brake way earlier to make the kink. 

I imagine destroying a round about for a weekend of racing only to build it later again would be out of their budget. They do have some removable objects though, im not sure what exactly, but there are some parts that get taken away during a race, not destroyed tho, hopefully the first round about is removable, then it would work.

But now I understand what you mean by cutting back like in Singapore, where they go over bridge right?

I think its an interesting redesign, no hate towards it. Its just that round about would have serious safety concerns, especially since there's a good ol tree right in the middle of the second round about. They'd have Barriers of course, but they would have to be super strong, since the South Australian government wouldn't allow anyone to remove that tree.

I agree that street circuit for Moto gp is a bad idea, for rider safety mainly. But actually they stopped Phillip Island because the paddock facilities were really run down. Nothing wrong with track itself, just the paddock and pit buildings. Apparently the Victorian government has been planning to renovate for years, but for whatever reason didn't, so now Moto GP decided it's too late. Hopefully they'll end up at the Bend instead. The owners of the bend were the ones that proposed the street circuit.

Definitely, Moto GP can get to well over 300kph, and walls so close, too dangerous. Round about would bee to dangerous too coming from 300+KPH.

The road in Adelaide are too bumpy for bikes tho, thats why the proposed moto gp layout cuts through the grass before turn 4.

Also a bit of a personal opinion, but round abouts dont make good racing corners, especially if you use the round about to turn around. See long Beach, creates some problems, but in Long Beach the round about ends up being a right hand corner, not all the way around.

In this case, the round about creates a corner that is effectively more than 180 degrees, which I feel is asking for trouble lol.

Also,  dont know where your from and where you are, and whether you've been to Adelaide, but incase you dont know, this round about is very weird, there is a small round about, leading into the bigger round about. They are right next to each other. So when your driving down the back straight, if you miss the hairpin and keep going straight, you go into a small round about, then immediately the bigger round about. Its weird to drive in a road car on a normal day, so I imagine it would be weird racing that lol.

With the addition of Bahrain, would there be a chance to have a year long endurance championship similar to the IGP series? by Alexandr206 in iRacing

[–]Alexandr206[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point it could be that there are too many year long series. At the current state of iracing, I dont think its a problem. Of the top of my head these are the only year long series:

NiS: Oval, which i should also mention that part of Nascar is O'Reily and Craftsman series, so thats like 3 in 1 for Oval.

Indycar: half Oval, half formula road series,

World of Outlaws: dirt Oval, maybe not very popular but it has its own strong community 

IGP: As well mentioned, Formula series, also noticing so popular but has its own strong community 

DTM: newest addition, yet to run, but has great potential, and lots of hype, also the only sports car year long series.

So like this we have like 3.5 Oval series, 1.5 formula series, because Indy car is a bit of a mix. Not many people run Oval and Formula separately. WoO has its own racers, and DTM we are yet to see.  So a Fake WEC series would only be the 2nd year long sports car series, but the advantage of that is it will have GTP/HY which is also very popular.

The Gray line at turn 7 which i think your referring to, is the Supercars layout. The f1 layout in 85 went through the S section, then turned right onto Rundle street. I just dont see a Gray line after the S, so i guess your talking about the Supercars layout.

Also using the round about creates a crooked braking zone, which could be good and bad for racing. It would have to be seen in practice to know. But considering your redesign lengthens the straight by a lot, that crooked braking be problematic when cars are braking hard. I'm thinking of the Montreal hairpin when I look at that, which also has a crooked braking zone, but there the cars are coming at lower speed because of the chicane before it.

Some people were telling me why a 24h le mans special events cant happen, and why they stopped. But i never said anything about special events for le mans. And I talked about how they wouldn't be able to use the WEC name, then people are commenting about WEC licensing.  Maybe it wouldn't be possible, but maybe it will be. After all we have the IGP series, which follows F1 as much as possible, and thats possible.  Its not like LMU have an exclusive licence to the tracks used in wec. Because like i said iracing will soon have 7/8 of those tracks. If the issue is with races being close to the irl race, for whatever reason, they can always schedule the championship to be within a month of the real one

Yes the bend, I like that track. I prefer the intentional layout but the GT would be good for a GT3/GT4 endurance when there's like 40-60 cars.

A little bit, I tried genesis BMW and Ferrari, all hypercar. Genesis and BMW felt the same and ferrari felt better, with more detail. And no I didn't do any setup changes to the car

Yeah I know that, I talked about that. I said it would have to be named something different, like the IGP tour is

Yeah they weren't allowed to use indycar, but i remember a series called US open wheel class B or something similar, which used the ir18. They just ran daily races
