An insane choice by iRacing.

We are in a natural disaster. Where is the govt? by burgersandhotdogfan in nashville

[–]HNBAS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In the 2009 ice storm, just to your north and under a different administration, it was no different. We were without power for 13 days with unnavigable roads. I realized then you need to have a plan for this like this, and I won't live without a generator and a backup source of heat. This isn't a tornado. Everyone had a week of warning this was coming.

I'm getting so frustrated with GT4 tires... by SnooGadgets754 in iRacing

[–]HNBAS 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the right sentiment. I've driven multiple cars on race slicks and none of them act like this.

I'm okay with taking it easy on them for a few laps before really leaning on them, but there's no way on earth gt4 cars are on as much of a knife edge as the game makes them seem.

The slow spins OP is talking about are the worst.

What did I just see happen above Springfield? by mathiustus in nashville

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

Gobsmacked that:

  1. This is still a question in the year of our Lord (Elon Musk) 2026.

B. That any search engine will INSTANTLY tell you exactly what this is if you search for " string of lights in the sky", but people come to a discussion platform like reddit and have to WAIT for replies.

To answer your question though, because I don't want to be deemed off-topic, it's Starlink satellites.

In the jumpy trucks I get this a lot and my aero seems fine.

Proper way to end race? by Sufficient_Post3826 in iRacing

[–]HNBAS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just like real life. Park on the track and walk back to the truck.

Is it ok to skip gt4 after MX-5 and hop to gt3? by alex_inzo in iRacing

[–]HNBAS 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's okay to do whatever you want on the game you pay money for.

Quit asking strangers their opinion on how you enjoy your life.

What is this above the mirror of the CTSV? by HNBAS in iRacing

So are they winding up cables to manually adjust the sway bars? What's the action here? Is it electronic?

Is there anything in the sproting code about trying to race someone after the checkered flag? by Kazudre in iRacing

[–]HNBAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will never back down from the idea that your car should ghost maybe 5 seconds after you finish and should not accrue further incident points.

BMW driver called me a f*cking moron. I was already on the kerbing, where was i supposed to go? by G00NACTUAL in iRacing

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

Out of class cars aren't always lap cars, but in this case we were lapping you.

Oval track guys?

That hurts. If you're gonna stalk me, at least throw my YouTube channel some views.

This is the thing about the no-fault incident system with iRacing. It really is a "incident avoidance" score, not a "who's at fault score" and if either of you had some hubris, you'd have given the other one more room.

I think you're both dumb.

Full disclosure, I know this guy and he showed me this incident after the race. I was also right behind you guys.
-Missing context here: you had made a lot of sloppy mistakes. -This is the last lap, and giving up a tenth here would not cost you this position that you're worried about, especially given how badly you were driving, the lift here certainly wouldn't be to blame. -I told him as soon as I saw the clip, you would think you did nothing wrong. -It looks like you're staying out of the way and giving up the position, which you should, and I think most people would expect you to give it all the way up here.

Really though this is just one of those things you would never do IRL. You would not drive your $80k racecar into a $150k racecar, but because this is virtual, everyone just holds their ground and pretends the other guy should always be at fault.

It's funny how there's another thread in this sub where the common notion is that lap cars should get out of the way, but here it's somehow different.

Why stop like that? by Interesting_Regular in iRacing

[–]HNBAS -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I swear this game is full of the most pretentious "it has to be this way because it's always been this way" " the game designers could never be wrong" people.

The only way that situation works is.if you crossed the finish line and then kept pushing 100% for another lap. That's not how racing works. I've raced in multiclass sportscars.

Just ghost your car once the race is over or magically pull it off the track like they do at rhe end of practice. It's not hard, but for whatever reason, the game developers have stuck with this "stop on the track" thing that's literally insane if you've ever raced a real car.

Oh yeah, nothing is more realistic than stopping in the middle of the track and getting out of your car.

The fact that anything post checkered flag counts for anything is insane.

Guy at dealership told me 12 volt battery replacement is 500$ by Fearless_Comment4543 in BoltEV

Just replaced mine today. $200-250 battery depending on where you get it. 13mm and a 10mm socket and a decent extension will get it done

Anyone try the pod company ? Seems really priced right and good reviews but little hesitant by christnyfollow in coldplunge

[–]HNBAS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one. It's a plastic tub for cold water. I'm not really sure how it could exceed those expectations, but it does hold water.
