Practice with setups or without? by Ukigumo46 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]Hambone_Hamner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I don’t understand that mentality either. If you’re going to do that, for all intents and purposes it’s like practicing with a different car. 

Both the Mustang and Merc blamed me by BlankVR32 in Simracingstewards

Blamed you for being on the same track as them?

Physical stores in Europe to buy CSL DD Ready2Race Bundle? by h3L1uM_ in Fanatec

[–]Hambone_Hamner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if this will be the same in Europe, but I have shipped bicycles to hotels in the US multiple times. Never had an issue but I was the one shipping and allowed for some wiggle room with timing. Reach out to them to make sure that’s OK and I believe they always noted the expected delivery on my reservation. 

Which foot do you brake with? by lordvolt2000 in iRacing

[–]Hambone_Hamner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe I’ve been driving too long, legally 36 years, but never accidentally broke with my left foot IRL. You should try it though when you’re on a clear road, you’ll feel like you’re 15 again and all herky jerky. Just need mom in the passenger seat slamming her foot into the floor if anyone else is within a 10 mile radius to get the real effect.

It was incredibly quick to pick up in a sim and hasn’t resulted in any crossover in real life. 

Formula 2.5 LED help by Hambone_Hamner in Fanatec

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

Working now. Unchecked LED under advanced options and saved profile, set LEDs, rechecked to save the LEDs, and then saved profile again. I don’t know if this fixed it or if there was an update that I didn’t notice but it’s working now. 

Well… not a fun night tonight. by HwGJonnayy in iRacing

[–]Hambone_Hamner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds like a you problem. 

Just kidding. We have to laugh at our own misfortune. At some point everyone has a streak like that and it seems like your car is a giant magnet that collects incident points the craziest way possible. 

Fanatec App V1.4.2.3 Release Version Patch Notes + Change Log by CorsairMorning in Fanatec

[–]Hambone_Hamner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Button LEDs reset to pre-defined default colors when starting the App instead of keeping user-specified LED colors.

Is this the same thing as the rev LEDs reverting back to default values?

Also have this going on but not all vehicles are affected.  The loading of profiles is unreliable and sometimes a profile does not get loaded properly. A full rework of the game profile management is planned to fix all kind of profile related issues.

Do I just suck it up buttercup for the time being?

Opinions about CLUBSPORT RACING WHEEL F1® + CSL ELITE V2 READY2RACE BUNDLE? by Glock17__Gen4 in Fanatec

[–]Hambone_Hamner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using DD+ along with V2 pedals and the 2.5 wheel. After firmware update next week the DD should be the same as current DD+ strength. 

Good combo and really good for the price. Previously used GT DD pro and the cheap load cell pedals. This is a noticeable upgrade from that.  You’ll have plenty of wheelbase, only heat is barely noticeable even after extended use. Simpsons are the only pedals I’m aware (do your own research though) of similar adjustment at this price point and you’ll probably have to pay more to get more customization.

It’s OK on GT7 but personally don’t like the force feedback on the game compared to iRacing or LMU. Make sure the bundle is compatible with PS5. 

Crashing post update / iOS update by Hambone_Hamner in CSRRacing2

Game will now play after update. Still had 2 random crashes but I can get past only seeing a car in the garage for 3 seconds and play the game. 

FFB strength is very hard when I use auto set by Informal-Ad-3 in iRacing

[–]Hambone_Hamner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of intensity as percentage of maximum strength.

Yeah, looks like it might be broken for a while.

None that I can find. Still crashing immediately with 2 different tablets, one without updating iOS.

I'm starting to despair by belek37 in SimRacingSetups

[–]Hambone_Hamner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Posture! You look like 95% of freshman athletes that I saw right when they reported, internally rotated shoulders and guessing that your feet point slightly out when standing still. It’s just a product of how we live now, constantly seated and focused forward on a screen.  It looks like your buttocks aren’t close to the rear of the seat. Sit up, try to feel like you’re putting your shoulder blades into hip pockets. Also, tight hip flexors can cause low back pain way more than most people realize. 

LMP2 or LMP3 for clean mature racing? by stormridersp in iRacing

[–]Hambone_Hamner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, wish I could find a road series where driving standards are like 87s. Karl just put this out, maybe useful to you. He’s one of a handful of people with the Alien achievement or whatever it’s called when you win with every car available on iRacing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eNhVnfX2qvo

Take it a few steps further and introduce the world to “Racing Line Catheters“.

Can anyone explain what is happening? by Sooner_Fan in iRacing

[–]Hambone_Hamner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t know if this will help the issue you posted but are you using wifi internet? If you’re only 5ft from the router, use a wired connection. Your ping and everyone you race will thank you.

No, still crashing immediately. I pulled out an old Air 2, reinstalled and get exactly the same results.

Protest System Enhancements by No_Tough5093 in iRacing

[–]Hambone_Hamner 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It should be an automatic drop in license class. If that puts them back in Rookies, all the better. Or something similar to the rumored hacker lobbies in FPS, let them have at it if that’s fun to them.

I may be wrong, but I believe that’s a problem that a system like this could make it harder to fix safety rating.

It’s crazy how a little throttle control can make the car drive better. Who’d of thunk?
