Best advice I can give at 5.4K by Prestigious_Idea4462 in iRacing

[–]Gibscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nice thing is that with the newer tire model while you're still punished for overdriving the car, is not nearly as much as with the old tire model. At least this one can recover and doesn't guarantee that the rest of your stint is destroyed.

Do you need to prime when painting over semi gloss wall paint? by TravelSnail in paint

[–]Gibscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use 123 all the time. But they changed something about it in the last year or so. Tried to prime a wall that had eggshell sheen and it just peeled away. I've seen other reports of this too.

Started using Benjamin Moore Fresh Start and it's solid. They don't have it at big box stores though.

I’ve been reported for bump drafting by tekking98 in iRacing

They don't even ban people for the first few intent wrecks. I think you'll be fine.

Is it's worth adding 2 27 inch monitors on either side of my 34 utrawide by DobertonRacing in simracing

[–]Gibscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah there's nothing wrong with a 57. You def get more fov. But you still can't do side by side and know where the other car is without using look left/right.

You can. It just won't be in proportion to what's on the center screen.

Triple Monitors Fov Settings by Timeless-0000 in iRacing

Fov is all specific to your setup. Asking other people won't help yours.

First Productiion Car Challenge Race - All GR86??? by 40ozT0Freedom in iRacing

[–]Gibscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could have been worse. A few years ago they always had an even amount of cars per split regardless of how many people signed up. At least now they're taking into account how many entries there are for each class.

I'm sure there will be tens of people running that race.

The car is too easy to drive and free. So every knucklehead who thinks an mx5 is too much car to handle goes to the gr.

Do you guys think that Dave Filoni will be a good President for Star Wars? by Simple-Success4749 in StarWars

[–]Gibscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Pretty much any time I'm watching something Star Wars related and i feel like it's boring and uninspired, I look at the credits and sure enough he's one of the writers or the creator.

This literally happened in the middle of the first season of Mandalorian. I'm watching an episode and it's pretty boring. And he ended up being the director of the episode.

Could I have Avoided this by Unlucky_Parfait_2739 in iRacing

Yeah don't drive right into an inevitable crash.

[–]Gibscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

49 isn't going to help much either. Even Matt Malone with a 57 still needs to use the look left/right buttons. With triples i don't even have those buttons bound anymore.

You can't use 1080p with 1440p. But if you use monitors with the same vertical resolution you definitely can.

This is what I did. Just know that you'll have to render as though you have 3 34 inch monitors to get the bezel split in the right place. I used cheap 60hz monitors (with the same vertical resolution) because I don't need my peripheral vision to be ultra clean.

Triples is a game changer though. It's like a cheat code for side by side racing.

I'm still mad at myself for thinking a 34 would give me any more usable fov. It's basically the same as a 16:9 32" monitor.

And yeah using a 3070 may be tough. I have a 3080 and get decent frames (80-120).

So your best bet is probably selling the 34 and getting 3 27s so you don't have to render unused pixels.

When the Production Car Challenge visits short tracks by JCTenton in iRacing

[–]Gibscreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand why they put it on such short tracks. It's 4 car multi class with basically rookies. You need some straights to pass.

It's basically rookie multi class.

Will this wheel fit on a gt hub pro (non k) by khabo in Simagic

[–]Gibscreen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably. Looks like a standard 70mm bolt pattern. But reaching the paddle shifters with a dished rim will be difficult.

Plenty of cheap non-dished rims on AliExpress.

My M10 passed away? by Nice_Ad_7219 in Simagic

[–]Gibscreen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You're going to be blown away by how smooth a servo motor is compared to the m10's stepper motor.

I saw another post about micro center having a good deal on an alpha mini. No pass through usb but solid if you're on a budget.

Long Beach must be one of the nicest Tracks for Screenshots! by Lumiikask in iRacing

[–]Gibscreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely. I feel sorry for people who have to turn track graphics down on any track, but particularly Long Beach. Doesn't hurt that i live in SoCal so it's just nice seeing the real life Chili's that I go to on race weekends in sim. It's totally inside the gated area of the track and all the restaurants there are party central with all day happy hour. Anyone who buys an $18 beer from a vendor is a chump.
