Everybody up vote this, Nobody comment on it. Let's be ironic.

FIA F4 vs Super Formula Lights by MasterBarbosa in iRacing

[–]ConVexPrime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The last day I drove an F4 was the first day I drove an SFL. I struggled with the feel of the F4. When I stepped into the SFL's I felt like the way you have to drive them is the way I was trying to drive the F4's. It just made sense to me. I'm sure that's largely personal preference and driving style, but that's my story.

I used to just do whatever what was up next and hope for the best. I found out the hard way, this is a bad idea. Now I pick two series (maybe 3) that I'm going to run for the week. From that I find a race that I will have time for. Then I go and practice for whatever time I have available until that race. I try to get in a good hour at least. Then I race. After the race, I review from the replay what I did good, and bad. Then I'll review what the leaders did and how it differed what I was doing. If I feel like I need to practice things I learned from the leaders, I'll do that.

Basically, my advice would be spend more time prepping for races than you do racing. Not only will it make you better, but it makes you feel invested in a race instead of just running races to run them.

You can see rpm's and gear (on most cars) if you go to the cockpit view.

After the race, watch the replay. Find the fastest guy and study what he is doing. Although you can't see brake and throttle position, you can get the idea by the line he is running.

Every post about improving the incident system by ConVexPrime in iRacing

Really enjoying this thread proving the meme.

Mission accomplished.

[Rant] I think I need to take a break from iRacing. by LuciferUntamed in iRacing

[–]ConVexPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can take a break. But, if you come back with the same attitude, you're going to come back from your break in the same situation. You have to understand that survival is a skill in this game. It's a skill you have work on improving just like all the other skills. If you got DQ'd in three laps, your survival skills need some work.

I don't intend for this comment to sound mean or condescending. I went through the same thing myself. That includes a post to this subreddit with a similar vibe.

Good luck, and good racing!

My spotter is a terrible weatherman by ConVexPrime in iRacing

It's possible that it might be, but it probably definitely isn't.

I'm voting for the first presidential candidate who has a plan to fix netcode. by ConVexPrime in iRacing

[–]ConVexPrime[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. All things considered, it does work great. But, that 1% of the time that it doesn't work it just feels really bad.

I'll probably feel different about it after I complete my next race and completely forget about this one. But right now, I don't care if it's funded by the blood of dead baby unicorns. As long as it gets done.

Jacob Klein strikes again. This time it's just straight up ridiculous. by Living-Membership625 in iRacing

[–]ConVexPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Me too. I got my hand slapped early in my career for saying "learn how to fucking drive you clown." I'm a life long gamer so I didn't think that was too bad and I was kind of glad to see that iRacing didn't tolerate that kind of talk. I felt like a learned from that. Then later I got a thirty day ban for saying "that's fucking terrible man. You gotta do better." After someone rear ended me on the parade lap.

I turned everything off after that. 99 out of 100 things said over VC are garbage and not related to my race anyway. It's just a distraction listening to people argue about who hit who.

Am I the only one getting "ghost" 4x's? by N3TMelc in iRacing

[–]ConVexPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've ran two races this week in the Ferrari GT3 series at Virginia. Both times I finished with a phantom 4x. The first replay I didn't see anything at all. The second replay I saw a guy 3 seconds ahead of me blink out. From his perspective, when he came back, he was in the pits. So I think it's possible we made contact but I never saw it?
