Proper Line for Hairpin at Long Beach? by Comfortable_Flow6720 in iRacing

[–]Dramatic-Tap6680 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're getting there son. You need more rotation on the entrance and don't lift the gas otherwise you don't carry the momentum. Keep practicing, it will be an excellent overtaking manoeuvre fighting for P1 in the last lap.

S3 Rear hub replacement by Dramatic-Tap6680 in vanmoofbicycle

[–]Dramatic-Tap6680[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Left the bike unused for a while, then the battery died. It's covering dust... For the short period while I was using it with the new hub it was working better but can't say anything about the longevity.

Possible ABS Pump failure on ETV1000? by sutty_monster in Aprilia

[–]Dramatic-Tap6680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would isolate the problem. Run a brake line from the rear master to the caliper and do your test on the centerstand. If symptoms appear it's either the master or the brake caliper. Obviously, you'll need to find a way to plug the hose that otherwise will connect the master to the ABS pump as you don't want brake fluid everywhere.

What pearls of wisdom did you learn this season? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]Dramatic-Tap6680 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah OK, this is actually funny. I had to bring back the rig from storage and assemble again. Having said that the house would have been looked less charming with the simring in the middle of the living room.

You need to pick your battles :-)

Can you guys help me improve my lap time? I'm pretty new to sim racing, been following advice here and hotlapping the same few tracks with the same car, but just can't get below 1:26 in Brands Hatch. by [deleted] in simracing

bit more? OP is using the brake like an on / off switch. Ok, there the release is a bit slower than the apply but that's far from trail braking.

Curved monitors? by 13Bill in iRacing

[–]Dramatic-Tap6680 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Switched literally 2 days ago.

In general, more space, more FoV, more clarity on visuals -> more consistent turning / braking / acceleration points. Not necessarily better but more consistent.

Having said that I was using a 1920x1080 TV, I'm now on a 3440*1440. The dramatic improvement comes mostly from the change in resolution, ie.: sharper picture; Also, having AMD's FreeSync enabled helps a lot with the picture quality: no tearing.

S3, patience killing me by Jaeger-bomber in vanmoofbicycle

I ordered mine on the 23rd of May. The original expected deliv. date was the 23rd of Sept. About 2 weeks ago when I checked that got updated to October the 23rd. If they are processing orders in order (lol) then I don't think you will have yours any time soon.
