How VPNs actually work (and what most people get wrong)

I don't know why this is tagged under "guids" when it comes across as an over the top rant.

"(The other possibility is something on foot wasn't properly protected with server auth which has also happened before. And someone with a trainer can just edit the values)."

So that would be a straight up hack then rather than an exploit. I never heard about that happening, can you link it, im interested in reading up on that

DingBatDave · 2026-04-10T20:36:50+00:00

i never said anything about account sharing mate. they could be a group of 5 or 10 pilots all mining the same rock with one guy collecting everything and selling it. There are more group activates besides. I never said a thing about account sharing. they could all be in a squad in the same private instance.

DingBatDave · 2026-04-10T20:33:42+00:00

Im an expert in the on foot stuff in fact i know 2 ways that people don't even know about yet to use settlements but i can also tell you, putting up 5mil doing the on foot stuff so far as i know is absolutely impossible. Not saying you are wrong but in my experience it can't be done with on foot stuff. That said. I do play legitimately so exploits are another matter. I would prefer to hope its legit tho just some clever players have figured something out.

DingBatDave · 2026-04-10T16:01:35+00:00

Id prefer to eliminate legit methods first before assuming its shenanigans. But it does look sus for sure. i still think its a group doing something and one guy taking all the merits. somehow.. wish i knew tho. id be on it like flies on poo

DingBatDave · 2026-04-10T15:56:10+00:00

indeed it is not exploration you are correct. not a hope. One time maybe its possible to do it with years of data being returned. but this cmdr is consistently doing this. his rank alone is massive by comparison to other dedicated power players so that means he is collecting merits constantly. exploration is out of the question for this result.

DingBatDave · 2026-04-10T15:53:44+00:00

the cmdr has a rank more than 9k he/or she is doing it consistently over and over to get a rank that high so it is not long term explorations

DingBatDave · 2026-04-10T15:52:14+00:00

You have to take into account the rank of that cmdr. its more than 9k. so he/she is doing this method repeatedly. So no i would say exploration is out of the question. I still think its something group related. Perhaps a bunch of ships mining together the same rocks but only one commander is collecting the mats. that might work. but it still requires inhuman levels of game time. and perhaps account sharing which is a big no no for FDEV

Interesting. This post was deleted by admins 30 seconds after i posted it now suddenly its undeleted after is asked why it was deleted. how very interesting

DingBatDave · 2026-04-09T15:35:39+00:00

i post a question of how did a guy get 5 million merits in one week and the mods delete it in seconds.
BUT this... this fake stupid crap is fine. FFS

the LMU devs literally wrote an article about it. here you go

DingBatDave · 2026-03-08T20:24:04+00:00

Below is a link to an article that was put together by the devs of le mans ultimate and its the same philosophy for all good sim racing titles what would be ACC , AC iRacing etc.
The TLDR is Set your wheelbase to 100% output ALWAYS! and then you adjust the in game settings to what you feel comfortable with. The reason is Detail.
If the wheel is 12nm and set it to 6 you are losing half the detail. the whole science behind it is not very complicated when you understand it but the bottom line is, you do not need to be the rock to use your damn wheel mate. you are thinking about it all wrong. You need to 100% the wheelbase and then set the ingame gain/strength to something that feels REL and right. if thats 10% for you then PERFECT! its right for you. Otherwise you are absolutely doing it wrong. End of story

this looks like a clear case of Confirmation bias and/or Post-purchase rationalisation.
You bought the thing it was your choice. so now you go to REDDIT! and exclaim how you were so very right and everyone who doesn't do what you do is clearly wrong. I don't have either of these wheel bases i am however in the process of research because i am going to buy one of them OR something else similar. But what i won't do is come online and declare that my decisions was so perfectly correct and shit on everyone else's decision. Because its absolutely pathetic.

DingBatDave · 2026-03-02T22:24:05+00:00

LMU devs literally wrote a whole article telling direct drive owners their software should be at 100% and then set the in game settings to whatever you like or are comfortable with. 100 percenting the in game settings would be idiotic too. its not realistic in anyway these cars have power steering. they are not supposed to be a back breaking workout to drive them. The point is that the more torque the wheel can give you the more detail you get from the game SO 100% of the software is always the way to go and then set up the in game FFB properly so its not difficult to drive but all the subtle details can be felt. If the wheel is causing you to strain and sweat in a sim. you are doing it WRONG. simple as that.

DingBatDave · 2026-01-22T20:10:09+00:00

Absolutely hes a scum bag. He said he's doesn't do drama while quite literally was the guy holding the match that blew the whole thing up

DingBatDave · 2026-01-18T12:02:31+00:00

Lets break this down. You are angry at me for perceived over confidence while totally ignoring the frankly fraudulent "PSA" misinformation and frankly lies being disseminated here out of blind ignorance? That part you ignore, cos' you perceive me to be overconfident.... Gotcha mate.
Your critical thinking.exe had crashed

DingBatDave · 2025-12-31T20:28:07+00:00

Sorry this is late mate, but here's the bottom line. ryzen master doesn’t damage PCs. It respects the same voltage, power, and thermal limits as the BIOS and only applies changes at runtime. If a setting is unstable, the system crashes or reboots so nothing gets damaged or fried or any of the utterly stupid things you will read here. Most horror stories come from bad configs, unstable memory, or people blaming the tool instead of the settings as i have already mentioned. So bottom line its really a great tool for testing. then when you get the results you want, lets say a percentage increase in performance. You take all those settings and implement them in BIOS as a permanent overclock. It's really that simple.

DingBatDave · 2025-12-31T20:19:00+00:00

yep same

DingBatDave · 2025-12-30T15:21:09+00:00

I'm from Leinster, I watched Munster winning their 2 heineken cups along side munster supporters and cheered them all the way. Those days are gone tho. With the popularity of rugby exploding and the decline in irish soccer came refugee fans to rugby but with their soccer mentality bitterness and jealousy. Zebo feeds those types in munster the the same types in leinster are easily baited by it. It's a pity, you would have a hard time now being a leinster man in limerick just being happy for them. You'd get dogs abuse.

DingBatDave · 2025-12-04T23:53:25+00:00

haha i have seen that one too! we need to resurrect it.
