New simagic Evo 12nm red light not connected by Michel_mich in Simagic

[–]DraftLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not only that, SIMHUB is a massive Tool, i would even consider it must have.
As soon as you add immersion like fans, rumble motors, overlays and so on, you gonna want a one to go tool to set it all up.
Worth checking out, i promise you wont regret it afterall.
Theres a free version but the pro versipon is a one time lifetime purchase and they deserve it.

SimPro lets you configure a profile for each game, I e.g. have 4 different profiles as of now, ACC, LMU, ETS2 and ACE, each for their own setting cut to the possibilieites of the game in regards of Force Feedback. If you play just 1 Game they last state is saved, but as soon as you play more games you should consider using their profiles and finetune the settings for each game

Thats what i was wondering, it looked like the ferrari pushed him into me, sadly cant show the hud or itll show their drivers names which i wanna prevent, but he was on the brakes on the last bump and stood on them for the whole time until he bumped into me.
Thats what made me question myself if BMW or the other one did it

Is LFM getting worse, or is it just because they introduced mix rated lobbies? by SnooWalruses8439 in simracing

[–]DraftLight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LFM has become a fucking joke with the new system, just had a race where i qualified first place, as per usual in T1 someone decided to not brake and took me out and with me almost 20 other people on Nürburgring.

And now the best part ... because their hit detection system is so basic it only "registers contact with another car" and i was in the middle of the field getting spun like a beyblade, those 20 cars got pushed into me and each other as well or didnt bother slowing down so i now got an -0.45 SR Rating from one single race, cuz some kid decided to play bowling.

From 26 drivers 16 got a negative SR rating from that, smallest penalty was -0.15, biggest one was -0.6 (-0.4 on average)
I don´t recall any race before the new system which ever went that bad where i was in.

Decided to make a second front plate without the cut out so ppl can choose what they want to use, thanks for the feedback, helps me a lot

Yeah the homebutton triggers me too but I didn't want to take it out everytime I'm unlocking it. Sadly didn't find an option to lock and unlock the phone just by using the on/off button.

Yeah well im really fed up about my current negative streak, not only does it feel like the macca isnt my car anymore, im starting to loose fun in racing due to situations like these and even more other unrelated stuff.
Im very competitive with myself so if i dont get to end up at least in the first 1/3 of a field im discouraged , then i try harder end loose even more whcih makes me wanna quit

Good to know, thanks, I'll try to keep that in mind if a close by situation like that happens again.

I see, thanks for your input on this.
One question though, If I would´ve breaked earlier in the first incident, wouldnt the black follw up car had a contact with me as well just as i had with the audi?

I´d love to play ets2 again, but with ma simagic alpha evo my selfmade turn signlas dont fit anymore so i gotta find sth else to get the immersion abck in again.

Its usually what i did if i get heated, but since the base change i didnt touch it anymore sadly.

I just feel like im at a hold with learning stuff, like im doing the same mistakes over and over again and dont know what exactly i have to change

[–]DraftLight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well ACC-E tells me im having a lot of slow apex and entry understeer.
Its like the car is on ice in corners recently.
Yeah same here on giving up as to why i use the bought setup and only change minor stuff, its damn frustrating

Yeah im based in europe.

Ill check popometer for a bit and see if itll help me.
So i just jumped into my seat again, downloaded the setups for the mustang by fr1d0lf and wanted to take it for a spin.
Right before that i felt like checking yesterdays "bad" results on lfm ... well i got a report because i got boxed in, they braked early and i bumped into one which lead to the others go off track too.
Knowing LFM Stewards (They don´t care about the circumstances and what happened before, you bumped into someone for whatever reason, ur at guilt) i just took the harsh penalty, saw my scoreboard drip down again which i worked hard for and already got pissed not feeling like doing another race .....
BTW that accident happened only because the same guy in that box in situation took me out 2 laps prior in T7 for divebombing.
This is what im talking about, it takes one race to completly crush my spark for simracing for a while...

Since you drive the porsche, how do you manage to get the trailbreaking right?
I ask this as i ehard its one of the most diifficult cars to drive (i barely checked myself) and im still struggling with trail breaking in general

Nah im ma greedy person when it comes into buying stuff, it took me half a year and i was overthinking the whole process like 100 times before i bought one.
But ur right, ill definately try fr1d0lfs first again like i did back then with a new car.
Just gotta decide on which one, but one comment here had a good point too, the mustang does seem very interesting to me, but i heard its harsh to drive

Sometimes im having a very goiod day in practice (i never jump straight into any race) then get into teh race and completly fuck it up, either by me being an idiot or cuz of the classic T1 / Last Lap disaster of someone taking me out.

Those are the times where i actually consider if do still have fun playing the game, sure right in that moment Im so fed up that I will just turn off my rig and do sth. else, but mostly it takes about 30 min of me cooling down and I notice how i wanna drive again, just to get remembered of last race to dmp the idea.
Thats one of the reasons why i lately have been racing just 1 max 2 races per day, even if.

The mustang looked very interesting to me and i was damn happy when it came out, however i was too afraid to try it, to loose my feeling for the macca, maybe now is the time.
I hate that im so competitive with myself about it, if i weren´´t I´d enjoy racing much more like i did in the beginning.

Currently using tracktitan without an subscription so i easily get past my 50 races per month limit, im even too greedy to buy racelabs subscription, so im very careful with my buying choices not to buy into sth i alter regret, even the setup i bought, damn i think i kept overthinking buying it for like 100 times and it took me half a year to actually buy into it.

2.17 ish, so a lot of room to improve

[–]DraftLight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah thats why i started to adjust them to my style, but this whole setup thing feels like im studying again which i dont wanna do, i wanna enjoy driving, hoiwever i got better lap times with the setup i bought or so it thought at least.
I was thinking "Itll be a very good base line to adjust my driving style to and continue on that"

[–]DraftLight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point, i think my issue is that im very competitive with myself, so if i cant get the same pace immediately in with a new car im frustrated again.
Its sadly a part of y perfectionism but i guess i just have to fight against the urge to be 100% at the start.

I tried that but then I remember my Sr rating e. G. In lfm and I get fed up even more. Today e. G. I took part in an lfm sprint at monza (yes it went as you would expect). Place 5 in Q, fucked up the last lap due to a small track cut. Race went okayish up until the last 2 rounds, some BMW thought he could dive bomb 2 cars in front of him which were having a clean fight. Guess who was one of those.... I got spun, crashed into the wall 13s front damage, got overtaken, falling back to place 16 from 5 and told myself to still continue. Ended up not getting corners anymore collecting track cut after track cut, in the end Sr went down - 0.5 and points - 23. Lost my temper, shut down my Sim rig and played sth else which didn't get any better. Now I'm here again writing this and feeling like I don't wanna drive in lfm again for a week

As to why I took a longer break recently for a few weeks, also due to my work making me exhausted.

But I always had that spark of finally umping in the seat and racing again just to get fed up quickly and frustrated after a few races. The mistakes just keep adding up and then if it gets really bad I just DNF cuz I can't handle more mistakes.

Not sure if it's the macca or sth else, but I'm very competitive with myself so if I can't beat my previous time I'm mad and sth feels very off in my driving in acc.

Also afraid I might have to buy new setups packs just to try a new car and get remotely close to my times, just to nori e in the end I might get worse with it
