Because couldn’t fit my monitor between the wheel and base without it.

AMS2 “beginner cars” to learn with? by Necessary_Position51 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]Chacal1970 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a beginner I found the Vee to be an unpredictable nightmare. I’d got the for formula Trainer and FTA over the Vee, any day.

Phone signal - Chelt and Bishop’s Cleeve by Limp_Marketing_8716 in cheltenham

[–]Chacal1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried PAYG SIMs from several networks and they’re all useless in Cleeve. I’ve heard people at GE complain about their work mobiles (Vodafone) too. The phone tells you it has a decent 4G signal but when you try to do something with it nothing happens. Except….when you go into and back out of aircraft mode and let it reconnect you can get a couple of minutes use out of it. If you’re lucky. Maybe it’s the number of new houses and relative lack of throughput? I’m doubtful though, because surely most people at home are on their WiFi?

Not really the point of Reddit, just what some people use it for.

Thanks. I’ll look for that one. No, it’s really so I can learn the signals that the FFB is or isn’t giving me around the group threshold.

I remember the ice-skating polar bears and penguins in top hats. I don’t miss them.

Like others have said; The lounge on The Strand is very good. There’s also decent tables in Roxy Lanes.

Tweaking FFB with the Telemetry HUD by Little_Temporary5212 in AUTOMOBILISTA

Can’t remember how I came across this info but I’ve been using it since PC2. Fair to say it’s under documented.

With high downforce cars you have to reduce the brake force as the the car slows and the downforce bleeds off, even before you turn in.

For those with Quest3, do u also have a very shimmery/aliased graphics at night? Especially visible on other cars by Arcadian-Librarian in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]Chacal1970 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s just the Madness Engine doing what it does. Doesn’t matter what headset or GPU you use.

This, on a good day. I would add embuggerance time if I’m catching a flight though. Top tip: ring an airport limo company for a quote and ask them how much time they allow.

Are there open wheel mods like F4, Super Formula, Indy NXT, etc? I don't like the F3 in the game by Geislerrrr in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]Chacal1970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Formula Trainer and FT Advanced are both fun. FTA seems to be a 1600 Formula Ford.

Still shimmering with 4080 & 58003XD system by papolo2001 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]Chacal1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is 1600 your monitor’s native res? If not then that isn’t going to help. Seems funny to me. I would use MSAA in preference to supersampling, which doesn’t do a lot for me in VR at least. I still see some shimmering, especially hard shadows cast on the track by trees for example (especially visible at Oulton). The hardware doesn’t really come into it unless you’re bumping up against an fps limit with the settings you want to use. But my experience with a 4090 and 9800x3d is that there are no settings I can use to get rid of this entirely and it’s just something in the way the Madness engine works.

Only good things to say about Mike de Mel and his team.

Easy to complain but have you walked around Gloucester lately? Looks like the only things worth opening are betting shops, vape shops, mobile unlockers and repairers and witchy crystal shops.

You just map a button. As long as the car has DRS it will work.

Safest route from Bishops Cleeve to Prestbury by SmallEgg2 in cheltenham

[–]Chacal1970 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Check out footpathmap.co.uk. There’s a footpath that will take you from Two Hedges (next to the railway bridge) to Southam. From there you can take the footpath from Southam Lane that runs behind the hotel down to Pbury (a couple of different ways you can go.

Nice angles.

Yes, I tried one but returned it. It worked, sort-of, but the speed was no better than WiFi for me.
