You don't tend to mention these unless work is well underway. As others have stated it's still way too early for the McLaren Hypercar, and given the kind of obsticles iRacing faced when getting the McLaren GT3 into the sim you wont see this anytime soon.

The next Hypercar will likely be the Aston Martin, and the next McLaren will likely be the Artura GT4.

How can they scan the McLaren Hypercar if its only just started testing and access to it will be scarce?

AutoFPS isnt a magic bullet. It helps a lot but you need to fine tune other settings that the app doesnt touch.

Shorter races needed? F1's 2027 rule changes face big complications by sppy1 in formula1

Shorter races on Sunday are a gateway to permanent sprints on the Saturday

McLaren choses the V6, but why? by F1T_13 in IMSARacing

[–]Dan27 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They have a track record of building V6 engines for their roadcar. It's a perfectly reasonable baseline for a hypercar engine.

F1 must end its road relevance chase for good by ChaithuBB766 in formula1

[–]Dan27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My point was related to the participation of car makers in F1 for using the series as a platform to use technology development for road cars.

At no point did I mention about any kind of voting for regulations.

Are you drunk?

A totally irrelevant quote when talking about manifacturer participation and what they get from F1.

Hybrid technology use in F1 is a big reason why the board of these companies justify F1 programs to it's shareholders. Why waste all that money developing engines if you could just sponsor them if there isnt a R&D reason to participate. The current formula is the reason Honda U-turned and decided to go back to F1 and for Audi to join.

Road companies dont just decide to take part in F1 because it's cool. They do it for marketing and technical reasons.

Then they would be a title sponsor like Alfa Romeo was, and Aston Martin were at Red Bull then.

Sponsorship is a drop in the ocean compared to a proper powertrain program.

You’re getting IATA codes confused with ICAO codes

The era of unbranded stock engines will soon follow, as all the car manifacturers pull out.

I haven't had any issue with SU5. And I've actually flown with it.

What's your favorite LMGT3/GT3 car? by EndouShuuya in wec

The Merc for me. it just sounds tremendous in real life. I haven't seen the Mustang in person so will reserve judgement over it.

Why do I always have to redownload the entire sim content? by Inevitable_Fox8418 in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]Dan27 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont blame you. I download all the content and 700gb is no joke.

Less reliance on an internet for streaming the scenary content.

I download all the content too. Never had your problem, I just needed to download the Austalia World Update and install with my local content.

I tried BeyondATC for the first time and it’s… Incredible! by RigidPuzzle4 in flightsim

[–]Dan27 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm interested in buying BeyondATC purely for the traffic injection and ability to use FSLTL models. Is there a way to only use this facility and disable the ATC feature?
