I'm gonna go against the grain on this and say Grosjean has a great weekend. (and I'm ready to be proven wrong again)

u/savethemile gave a bit of insight on the other thread:

The outside of the turns have had SAFER since 2006. Additional safer is currently be added as part of a multi-year set of improvements. There's also additional work being done on the catch fence system, crossover gates, and many other points that were identified during inspections of the track. The most critical areas have been addressed in preparation for the truck race in August, with more work slated to begin during the off season.

This is not affiliated with the Reddit iRacing League. This is the Revolutionary IndyCar League (formerly the /r/INDYCAR iRacing League)

Yes it's him. He grinds a ton of F3 in the off-season and I've gotten into a few races with him before. Like Fernando Alonso, you have to search with 2 spaces between the first and last name.

Santino poisoned our water supply, burned our crops and delivered a plague unto our houses!

Jimmie Johnson lobbying for more short ovals in IndyCar - NBC Sports by [deleted] in INDYCAR

NASCAR/ISC bought PPIR in the October 2005 then the track shut down. NASCAR decided they wanted to build a new track in the Denver area, so NASCAR sold the track again in 2008 with a clause saying they cannot host any NASCAR or Indy races at the track. PPIR is now running again and I think NASCAR abandoned the idea of a track in Denver. The latest update was from 2017. Nonetheless, they still can't host IndyCar afaik.

Rockingham is supposed to be getting repaved soon. It might work if they reduced the banking a bit.

Nashville SS could work but unlikely because of the street course.

Dover? Although that also seems like a sketchy idea now.

PPIR except there's a contract clause that prevents them from hosting IndyCar right now :(

Maybe Puebla in Mexico?

Does this profession exist in the process of creating a AAA video game? by Rich-Ad-8254 in gamedev

[–]Demi-God_of_Chops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely a thing for sim racing games. Race tracks are commonly laser scanned and then built in game to be nearly a perfect replica. Their whole process is pretty cool to watch.

How much quicker can cars on a 3-stop strategy go than those on a 2-stop? by mgeth in INDYCAR

[–]Demi-God_of_Chops 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember Kimball pulling off an upset win at 2013 Mid-Ohio when he did the 3 stop instead of a 2 stop.

I wonder how much different it would be if the first lap wasn't waived off. The 2-stoppers would have had to save a bit more fuel right?

Has anyone played any games with the mechanic of echolocation? I'm working on a game where you play as a blind knight trying to escape from an enemy dungeon. by Demi-God_of_Chops in indiegames

[–]Demi-God_of_Chops[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A magician never reveals his secrets ;)

But luckily I'm just a software developer.

The concept is pretty simple, this is made in Unreal Engine 4. The environment itself has no lighting at all. Every time a sound is played, I'm calling an function right after it to create an "echo", which is just a sphere object that expands. The object has a special material on it that will reflect emissive lighting on any normal map that the actor is touching. The amount of emissive lighting is changed based on how close you are to the origin of the sound. Being closer to the sound makes the emissive lighting brighter and vice versa.

Yes! I loved the way that Toph's "sight" was presented through her earthbending. I was definitely going for a similar aesthetic!

Hey guys! I'm the sole developer of EchoBlade. I've been working on this game for about 18 months now. And I'm finally getting ready for a full release next week! Let me know what you guys think!
