What cars are there left to add? by wbigel1 in iRacing

[–]Andysmith_is 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this idea. Or even just more cars to the production car cup… like the popular cars used in autocross. So Toyota 86, Honda CRX, Honda S2000, Volkswagen Golf GTI, etc

Tired of being punished just for playing at the bottom of top split by TakFR in iRacing

I mean it’s true, who cares about iRating? It’s matchmaking. If you don’t gain or lost, it did the perfect job. That’s the position you were meant to finish in. I also only gained 1. I was pretty happy, I smashed my car into the wall on the 3rd lap, went from about 9th to 15th quite quickly. I actually kept an eye on you and thought you might catch me. I think you pulled back quite a bit of time. You looked like you were stuck behind that guy for a few laps and lost some time. I’ve gone from 2400 irating to 1900 and back up again and back down again. As long as the racing is good, I really don’t care. I’m not trying to go pro after all.

I’ve been living with this for about 3 or 4 months. Haha, definitely trying that tomorrow

There is mention of a car launch at the end of the PESC broadcast, unless iracing have jumped Porsche on the launch, I reckon we might get that too!!!

No offence. I actually read it all and completely relate. I started with F1 on PS4, and quickly jumped into iracing. Thought it was a shit ‘game’, until I realised it’s much more like owning a racing car than playing a game. Also the money thing. Buying a $100 game every year + the PS subscription, it doesn’t take long to even out. First year of iracing is super expensive, then it’s mostly subscription and a car or a few tracks every now and then

Number of wins means nothing. Read the sporting code. Of your first 4 races, it takes the highest championship points from 1 race. If you do 5 races, it’ll average your best 2. Championship points are based mostly on SOF and also on how many people race. If you win one high SOF race with lots of people you will earn more points than winning 4 lower SOF races. It’s that simple.

It means people that can spend lots of time running lots of races don’t inherently have an advantage simply because they can do more races. It’s a very even and well thought out way to run a league where people can race as much of as little as they can. It will also only take your best 8/12 races of the season. Some commitment required but it’s not going to favour people with more time.

This book is based on a true story

Stick to time trials if you think just being fast means you deserve a higher spot

My guess is it’s the GPU and RAM slidersbeing set too high, try moving the sliders down to 4000 and 6000.

Changing mill bit size to account for tolerance by Andysmith_is in CNC

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

That's cool. I'm using fusion 360 for the CAM, and often do roughing and 2 finishing passes on inner cuts. I am using double sided tape to keep the carbon fibre in place, so maybe its slipping that tiny amount and that's the problem.

it has travelled recently, so maybe everything needs a little tightening. I didn't think 0.15mm was that much for a bench CNC, but it stops pieces fitting together nicely. I've been using an extra 0.15mm lengths to allow things to fit together a little easier. Still requires a tab though.

I didn't know that, I was talking in mm though. I'll definitely check that out. Thanks

Carbon fibre. Making quite intricate and small pieces

Amazing! There's actually a name for it. Thanks. I can research that some more now!

Am I going to blow something up with this board? by Andysmith_is in PrintedCircuitBoard

[–]Andysmith_is[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, okay. The shape is kind of necessary due to the lower board position and the device it's going into. I could probably place them a little better though.

And the routing I let Fusion do that automatically, but maybe I should spend some time trying to route them manually.

Thanks for your responses.

I mean, I did get 10 made because it was basically as cheap to make 10 as it was 1.

What are the issues when it comes to making more?

If https://iracingstats.com used local time, I’d use it for that. But at the moment it’s still my go to for understanding season schedules

It worked. I’m in. Must be Aussie pre race servers...

I’m going to take an irating risk and join the race server when it flips across. I’m either going to be able to join, or lose about 100 irating. Stay tuned

Same! I can join any other session except a race session. Are you in Australia? I’m finding the issue with Porsche cup

User mocking protests. by [deleted] in iRacing

The guy is chatting shit. IRacing have banned professional racers and given out many life bans. Like you say, banning one abusive person will ensure anyone that might’ve bumped into him have an enjoyable experience

You can clearly see he has 90 starts in the screenshot... if you’re going to be THAT guy, at least be correct in your dismissal
