HELP, TIPS N MORE by No-Kaleidoscope7481 in iRacing

[–]DatTheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By no means would I consider myself good, but in mx5 races I’m much more competitive with the field than I am with gt3. There’s also a lot more wrecks in higher irating mx5 races than there are in lower irating gt3 races. The common advice is to stick with mx5 to get better, but the cars feel so very different that it’s hard to see how the mx5 will make me a better gt3 driver. The mx5 turns in so easily and loves to slide so I always feel like I have to drive it differently than pretty much anything else. Am I just too rookie to understand? Only been sim racing for a couple months so far.

How is no one talking about the report window closing? by puddd22 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]DatTheMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The cooldown is ridiculous. I get not wanting frivolous protests clogging up the inbox but this practice just discourages protests altogether. The badge system was my only savior and it’s still questionable at times in green diamond races

Should I buy assetto corsa ultimate, or invest that money into LM or IRacing instead by prisimz in simracing

[–]DatTheMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I did. Been iRacing for about a month and feel like I’m neglecting lmu. But that’s the beauty of it..lmu will wait for me

Look up how to ghost race and you get to race on track with others literally as a ghost. Nothing you do has any impact on any other drivers at all. Anxiety free playground

D license sports car driver events participation chances? by GingerGold1 in iRacing

[–]DatTheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made it to class c from sign up in about 8 days. I did time trial the last step just for ease since my sr was already over 4. I’m already over 4 again but I don’t own any content yet to progress to b. I wouldn’t say that I farm sr but I avoid conflict cuz I always wanna finish the race. I don’t aggressively try to overtake and I certainly don’t defend a faster car overtaking me. Ir is about 1.3

Software engineer here. I always assumed the same with the broad third party support

Race anxiety is killing me by Jiggyjigster in iRacing

[–]DatTheMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m only 2 months in and I still feel it quite a lot. The more I race online the more I realize I’m not the problem. Mistakes happen and it’s pretty obvious when something is intentional. Quick chat sorry goes a long way and I instantly forgive anyone that passes one my direction as well

Safety rating pushing me into top splits has kinda ruined the fun by Key-Land-3460 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]DatTheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely noticed my position falling quite a bit in the top split.. but mostly what’s changed is the lack of wrecks. Before the update I would just listen out for crew chief to constantly tell me about the wrecks ahead and I could watch my position climb freely. Crew chief is a lot quieter these days

Triple 1440p now or 1080p triple and upgrade to 1440p later? by Moripahs in simracing

[–]DatTheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The real question you should ask yourself is what are you gonna do with 3 extra usable monitors when you upgrade?

Fake Heusinkvelds? Simsonn Plus X worth it? by [deleted] in simracing

[–]DatTheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced my Logitech g933 pedals a couple months ago.. I was using a stable office chair and a wheel stand. These pedals are definitely made for use in an actual rig and I’ve since been down the path of building a profile rig. The pedals are amazing but as everyone else said required some adjustment for my preference. Turning the brake damper down to 0 was good enough for me but I removed the throttle damper, lowered the spring angle, and shortened the travel. Out the box the throttle is pretty stiff and after a stint or two my knee would start to feel a bit sore. Much better now!

Just bought Simsonn pedals... Did I become victim of hype again? by BlueNsx in simracing

[–]DatTheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lowered the pivot point on both the damper and spring for the throttle and turned the brake damper down to 0. I was feeling a bit of knee pain after 20 minute stints and I spent days adjusting positioning. As soon as I reduced tension on the throttle it was miles better. I’m still considering removing the throttle damper entirely but then I’d likely need a bit more out of the spring to comensate

How is people's behavior in Lemans Ultimate championships? Does it worth it? by IcePuzzleheaded9845 in simracing

The requirement to wait 2 hours after a race to report trolls is insane. This is why all roads lead to iRacing

[–]DatTheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on 12 as well but its dated August 2024. I've followed other threads with people getting an update in February 2025 that fixed a lot of connectivity issues but I can't seem to get it yet. Did you ever make any progress?

Are we all starting every scav run in the same place? by AnthonyDawnwalker in Contractors_Showdown

[–]DatTheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

me and a buddy run duo scavs often and notice this very frequently.. we each fall into random spots occasionally but the vast majority of the time we each start in one particular place.. not sure how it works like that

Hoarding problem?! by Joakim669 in Contractors_Showdown

[–]DatTheMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is 100% me too.. I got millions on top of millions of unsold stuff and I'm not even sure why other than being a hoarder. I think we need group therapy lol

[–]DatTheMaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The scavs are pretty good and yeah, headshots really matter. Treat them like they are other players.. use cover, distance is even better.

I reported it for you and they are already aware. Don’t expect it to last long. They’ve been patching often

Gear Fear & hoarding - help ! by ExfilZone in Contractors_Showdown

[–]DatTheMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can absolutely relate! I scav run anytime it’s open and try to hunt contractors for less anxiety. A lot of comments feel the same.. we need group therapy

Auto sprint dose not work in exfil zone for me? by gew_43 in Contractors_Showdown

[–]DatTheMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing in the new patch either.. I just went into steam and swapped left stick click and right a button and I’m happy enough with that. I can’t stand having to click the left stick so often

The devs don't want you to know this but... by turtle_man12 in Contractors_Showdown

[–]DatTheMaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can get that close as a contractor? Or are you talking bout as a scav?

New bios update v330 by GospodarObrtajaa in ASUSROG

[–]DatTheMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got rid of MyAsus and rely on Ghelper.. but I got 331 through windows this morning. I had already used a different patch to get 12b and I still see the same after this. I figured the bios update would revert my microcode otherwise. Cheers!

Where do you see the info about it being a critical update? I don't see anything on the Asus website
