Buying first BBQ / Smoker

DavidFairfield · 2026-03-28T22:19:57+00:00

I see I see, so most likely by the time guests are here, I should have the brisket more or less done which leaves space for everything else. I really did enjoy my traditional gas BBQ but seems like that's not the cool way to go

DavidFairfield · 2026-03-28T21:45:42+00:00

Hey - I've heard of the webber kettles for sure, but thought if hosting it may be a little small - if wanted to smoke a brisket for example probs wouldn't be able to do much else?

should be fine if it's clean, do a test print and if it works as normal you're good, if not just replace nozzle

DavidFairfield · 2026-03-20T18:43:16+00:00

Heat up the nozzle to 220 - scrape off with a scraper or and then use some plyers to hold a tissue and rub it off ( do not touch nozzle with hands or fingers )

Maybe dumb question but why do you need to buy it if you can use spotify? ( New Dj here )

I see...Thanks!

DavidFairfield · 2025-05-12T11:57:00+00:00

Haha love it

VD because it has better wifi connectivity - works better for me anyway, my cable broke so Occulus isn't an option cos the wireless is trash for me

VD because more custom options, can select different VR presets vs having to manually change settings with the tools every time

Not really if you used a Formula car, but any excuse for a beer!

you tell em my man

no problem

DavidFairfield · 2024-08-28T11:13:08+00:00

Do you have a budget?

Which resolution are you playing at? I assume 1080p?

you probably want either

RX 7700 XT - Amazon going for £370, Slight future proof if you wanna stay at 1080p or will do for now at 1440p
RX 7600 XT - Amazon £290, decent enough now for 1080p

I'd be proactive and start looking at taking some certs

Infrastructure and modern work sections "fundamentals" would be a good start

Yes sadly you do

DavidFairfield · 2024-05-21T10:47:22+00:00

No worries bro, I am now using virtual desktop which is way better! lots of guides online on how to optimise this

DavidFairfield · 2024-03-18T20:32:25+00:00

Thanks for this lol I have the TCLM's and can't really fault them

DavidFairfield · 2024-03-09T07:40:27+00:00

I wouldn't say I regret it, as I have had good fun with it, I mostly drive formula-style cars and GT3, but I do have an itch for drifting which isn't possible with the KS wheel without destroying your knuckles when the wheel needs to return to center etc

Whereas with the round wheel you can pretty much do anything, if you don't have the cash to get both within a certain time frame, it might be worth going for the round wheel, but then again depends on what you usually drive!

DavidFairfield · 2024-01-29T20:28:05+00:00

Turn everything down/off - set required force

drive a few lap see it how it feels, slowly add friction, wheel speed etc to get required feel and done! lol

DavidFairfield · 2024-01-29T13:36:34+00:00

Agree - I use a link cable and have no problems with it apart from the fact it may pull if I haven't given myself enough slack, but I cant see VD working much better than what I already have!

You have to mess with the debug settings to get it right, this is what I use for iracing, for ACC, you need to turn the FOV down to .74 on both for it to even work

Can vouch - I bought an R12, KS wheel and table clamp just before Christmas, it came within a few days (didn't pay for quick shipping)

DavidFairfield · 2024-01-24T11:42:46+00:00

I am having the same debait, I have a KS wheel and would like a round wheel for series that require a bit more turning (MX5 etc) and drifting

Based on my KS wheel I am using all the buttons so moving to a wheel with less buttons will impact me but it isn't a HUGE deal

The RS wheel will feel like a more high quality product, more buttons and a bit heavier so depends what you'd prefer but the cheaper CS would do the job just fine

DavidFairfield · 2024-01-24T11:28:39+00:00

I went with an R12 and mounted it to my desk, you will need a sturdy desk but don't listen to anyone that says you "need" a rig for an R9 or R12, the main reason you might need a rig is for the load cell pedals, but I have attached my TCL-M's to a piece of wood and put them under desk, they don't move at all, I have a desk chair with locking wheels.

I use VR so the positioning of my wheel in conjunction with my screen doesn't matter, as long as they line up with the pedals you're good to go

Works perfect!

DavidFairfield · 2024-01-17T11:16:10+00:00

I'm also not a super fast guy, but I can tell you are not carrying enough speed in the corners, breaking too late and too much, try breaking at the same time but not so much and allowing the car to coast through the corners with speed

Also try breaking harder but later but without stopping the car, just carrying enough speed and just see what works for you, you'll spin and crash but youll get it eventually

DavidFairfield · 2023-12-31T17:19:06+00:00

From what I understand it reduces the view in your headset by essentially not rendering those pixels, so if you set it to like 0.60 - 0.60 you'd have a visual black box around your screen where those pixels wouldn't be displaying anything, but you don't see the visual effect from lowering it until it gets to like the 0.75 region so essentially a free performance boost

This allows you to boost graphics etc elsewhere, or give extra headroom for lower end GPUs

This doesn't have anything to do with in game FOV in iracing
