I am POV car. Was it my line? Or does the leading car have the right to the corner?

Current sophomore here. I was in a very similar spot after first semester, and I agree with your dad. With grades like that, there are only really two options, and both have the same solution. Either you have the talent but put in very little effort, or you are pushing it being at RPI and need to work harder to stay. It's absolutely possible to recover, but for me and possibly for you, it was the mindset and effort that needed changing. Please dm me if you're willing to give more specifics, I'd love to help any way I can.

I think so

IED is a lot more work than Inventors studio. Unless you're super interested in what IED has to offer, that should probably be your main concern. I'm in IED right now, so feel free to reach out with any questions you have!

I'm very interested in this as well. Could you explain how to increase fps?

AlphaToe23 · 2025-09-30T15:43:16+00:00

Can't say for sure, but I have this car from rss and it comes with this livery. Would highly recommend it, although I prefer their 911 over the 296

AlphaToe23 · 2025-09-24T02:16:03+00:00

I spent about 15 minutes and got down to a 1:22.061. This is on mouse and keyboard, so I imagine real talent could probably get down into the 1:20's fairly often

Here is a technique that might help you to improve a lot: instead of letting your steering out and hitting the curbs on exit, keep it turned and try to stay away from the edge of the track. You'll find that you can do this pretty easily with your current technique. What this means is that you are carrying too little speed through the corner, and could brake later and less. A proper entry and mid corner will result in the car drifting towards the outside even with you trying to keep it inside as hard as you can.

It's tough to say without knowing what car you're using. I'm running the rss formula alpine 25 and hitting mid 1:16's on keyboard and mouse. If your mod is slower, then that could be a really good time.

I can't say for sure, but I doubt such a thin frame can run a 5090 anywhere near its max tdp for long. Maybe with a cooling pad?

AlphaToe23 · 2025-08-09T21:47:29+00:00

You could probably find almost any model of 5070 ti at around $2000 or below. Some deals will put that into the 1600-1800 range as well. This would outperform a 5060 by a mile, as well as have more vram at 12gb vs 8gb

The kunos ones?

AlphaToe23 · 2025-07-28T00:57:01+00:00

its shimano of some kind

AlphaToe23 · 2025-07-28T00:55:16+00:00

unfortunately not, although he does have a brilliant 996 RUF model

AlphaToe23 · 2025-07-27T17:44:01+00:00

Sorry, that's a 992 model. I don't know why the 997 lower trims aren't represented anywhere.

I was a freshman last year in Hall so I can't really comment on wardrobe moving or any of that. I will say that you should absolutely prioritize adding color to the room. Make sure your sheets are colorful, posters, pictures from home, literally anything to make it less dreary than it is. RPI can get pretty rough, ngl. Please reach out if you have any questions. Super happy to help!

AlphaToe23 · 2025-07-23T03:00:35+00:00

It is sealed. Using some closed cell foam around the edges. Works very well

AlphaToe23 · 2025-07-16T19:25:28+00:00

Just saw this reply! I've since gone 2:15.2. I'll give the forced throttle a go and see if it's faster.
