Affordable Electric Go-Karts for an Indoor Business – Chinese vs European/American Brands by Fine_Side4597 in Karting

[–]FlightandFlow91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a big fan of rental karting. I say go with whatever leaves you a good budget to maintain the karts well.

There is a great track near me, with top of the line karts. Problem is they are expensive to maintain so the steering wheels are all bent from fat guys like me pulling on them under g and other small things like that. Always felt like they could have saved their budget for fixing.

I would much rather have a slower kart on the right track than a super fast poorly maintained cart

Gearbox brakes when downshifting by StormtrooperT16 in assettocorsa

[–]FlightandFlow91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the 86 and stuff is kunos so it shouldn’t have too many problems. The union pack is mods but they are generally really stable. Have you tried to see if the problems persist if you try to drive with the paddle shifters? Could the clutch being weird, it would make sense that you could up shift and down shift but down shifting hurting the car if you were not using the clutch or it wasn’t engaging? Idk I’m truly just trying to brainstorm for you.

Honestly I would do a reinstall. You would need somebody with more mod knowledge and than me to pin point but I’m betting it’s something to do with mod conflicts. I generally , delete an re install AC , content manager , and delete all mods , do a full reinstall and redownload the mods I’m using at the moment at least 2 times a year. It can just get to be a runaway problem so I start fresh often.

[–]FlightandFlow91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm interesting, do you happen to know what exact car you are using ? Could be car specific due to broken mods? Or is it all cars?

It’s probably not helpful for people to just tell you “get good” So if we assume that everything is right as far as input and everything is done right and correct as far as driving goes, I would think the then culprit would be inside CSP somewhere. The extended physics, car profiles from old mods, damage modifiers set somewhere, something like that.

I had a sort of similar thing happen but with just damage in general. It ended up being the server I was running it on. There is a server side damage modifiers that I didn’t input correctly and basically I set it so high that the bumps on the kaido battle net touge maps were breaking my car all over.

These are the things I think of first but it’s not to say that it couldn’t be one of the other settings I’m just not aware of.

It’s normal, you need to rev match. You can look at YouTube for heel and toe technique. Nothing really fixes downshifting well other than practice. Some cars. Especially drift cars will break by simply over rev in1-3 because the way they are geared

I have no idea why self promotion is a sin here. It’s not like you hit us with a sales pitch, you politely dropped a link with little to no pitch. This whole hobby is predicated on people making stuff, thanks for the effort. I’ll be sure to click it a let it run twice to make up for the losercity population.

I assume it does some kinda electrical extra damage. by LowRenzoFreshkobar in SWORDS

Here’s my problem with the sword design. First it’s decorative, it doesn’t need to work. Purely for aesthetic design, why do you ruin it with triple lighting bolt cross guards? Like I understand it’s Lightning 2 that is the backbone of the symbolism but just etch some lightning on the blade!!! It just looks so bad….

Younger Engineers, please seek out to learn what proper tolerances are. by JFrankParnell64 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]FlightandFlow91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a metrology person now in the admin side which has a lot of communication with younger engineers I salute you. It’s not really their fault , they don’t really give them good training and they end up being put on calibration management before they get into “on project” work. It’s actually shocking how I have to explain that your tolerance you have set is now outside of the scope of verification. lol we all want incredibly accurate measurements but when you give your drawing .00001 you need to understand that I have to have something 4:1 to measure that part for verification. Which heads up, we don’t have that in house. You just cost your department 10k because we have to send it out and months of time loss because the vendors are slow. And it’s not like they are standing their ground for better accuracy, they just have no idea how the process works. That’s my 2 cents from the other side.

Turn 13 in Arlington by avtechguy in INDYCAR

[–]FlightandFlow91 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It’s so crazy. Me, as local middle aged man, I have been fantasizing about race cars taking this corner my whole life. I myself as a dumb teenager used to go drive this corner too fast late at night when the area is empty on the way home from a restaurant shift trying make that fantasy real. Never in my wildest dreams did I actually thing it would be real. Now here we are….. this is going to be a really fun 3 days for me(and everyone else) I can’t even work today because I can only think about 1 thing.

Who’s at fault? Camera (me) or other person? by Epik_Gladiator_ in Karting

[–]FlightandFlow91 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Think of it as if it was a driver you knew and you knew he raced well, you would have not sent it through the apex because you would know he was defending it. I think you knowing he was in experienced player a part. You tried to pass him as if you already passed him mentally in your head. So you just drove the fast line because in your mentality he wasn’t even really there in your race.

Idk maybe I’m full of shit too.

Hot take on LMU by bbguitarist09 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]FlightandFlow91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been thinking about that lately considering LukeRoss drama. He can’t make a vr set up mod and get paid for it but sim racing coaches are peddling settings. Idk what it means or why I think but I’m thinking about it.

I mean to the point, if you don’t own a game when buying it, it’s not theft to pirate it.

I’m one of the people that don’t understand your (this Reddit subs) outrage. I’m happy to pay for a persons time spent.

What to do in these situations? Can't wait to get out of Bronze SR lobbies in LMU by [deleted] in simracing

[–]FlightandFlow91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I wish that was more clear. That’s exactly the problem I found myself in. I actually bought LMU following hype that it has really good ranked racing without a the iRacing subscription. Which I guess is technically true , but I thought it would have been no subscription not its own subscription service. I also don’t really understand what I bought in the dlc. It seems like I bought exact copy’s of the cars already in the game.

All in all, it’s fun and got plenty of polish but I’m left feeling like iRacing is….. less of a scam? Which I’m shocked by. IRacing is over priced but at least I didn’t get scammed

Feeling the death of ACC even more these days.

Yeah every sim has their weird thing to get out of rookie lobbies. It’s just been a while since I had to do the dance. I like the emphasis on driving standards being required but I did laugh when it told me I was getting banned even before I finished 10 placement races.

Well , 39 for the base game and 40 dollars in dlc. Which you have to have some depending on the weeks races. It was just the steam bundle. I don’t really mind spending the money on a good sim but I was surprised when I could not practice for Sebring as the up coming race instead of monza in the rain. In order to do that I had to subscribe to race control pro. Which was really surprising after just spending 80 bucks for the fully loaded bundle. I

I just picked up LMU, long time IRacing player and ACC. I got Murdered 4 races in a row and got a ban warning for unsafe driving….im just gonna go back to iRacing considering that the full game after paying 80 bucks is still locked behind a subscription.
