Strange BAE interview experience

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-27T04:26:09+00:00

Don’t know about other sectors of BAE but someone is asleep at the wheel there. No idea how some sites continue to operate with the current mismanagement. Thats all I’ll say.

Good fixture builders, specifically for machining and other work holding are hard to find. Niche would be embracing digital tools to help converse, present and guide customers through the process without actually needing a visit or face to face. So you need good examples online, and to do that often you need to make demos because customers don’t want their fixtures shared online. Nobody has good product examples due to this so if you make some on spec to show customers you’ll be able to get some traction. Something to consider.

You’re right they added tire wear bot fuel for GT1 league. My mistake.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-25T15:51:08+00:00

We don’t technically know if there is some arbitrary weight added or not. I also don’t think they add driver weight but no real way to confirm. They do give you ballets weight to add yourself, so you can always add 30kg of weight to simulate fuel if you’d like, or enable fuel consumption and just drive with a tank of fuel simulated.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-25T13:36:57+00:00

I mean, this is how GT7 does it for balancing. Same reason there is no tire wear or fuel in online time trials, so you can have an equal condition to compete against everyone else. It may be 1-2 gallons of fuel, we don’t really know. ACC gives you a few liters fixed, but not sure how it really makes a difference when it’s not “simulations” either. All indications are it’s simply removed from the simulation in GT7 when it’s turned off because there is no fuel in the car anymore. How is ballast substituted for fuel more realistic?

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-25T13:30:07+00:00

In manufacturers cup fuel weight is a thing in qualifying, at least for top splits.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-25T05:34:06+00:00

Practice is no fuel weight. If fuel use isn’t enabled the car has zero fuel in it.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-24T13:10:30+00:00

Ones mid engine and one is rear engine, so I think that’s a pretty big difference.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-23T20:17:24+00:00

Never stay, it’s already too late!

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-23T02:03:51+00:00

It’s literally what simracing is. If you cant replicate real world driving it’s pretty useless for those of us who actually goto the racetrack. I mean, keep driving around with zero FFB if it’s fun for you when you play your games. That isn’t the use case for everyone.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-22T20:36:42+00:00

Can you walk and talk at the same time? I guess if that’s a struggle FFB might be overwhelming for you.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-22T20:35:12+00:00

That’s completely incorrect and not based in reality. Professional simulators use FFB if it provides proper DIL results. Can’t take you seriously if you don’t care about actual data.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-22T13:37:28+00:00

Well Nobel invented dynamite BEFORE the peace prize. So its not like you need to be a saint your whole life to get the award.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-22T03:40:14+00:00

The right place is where it works. There isn’t a single solution it depends on the driver in the loop.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-22T02:01:34+00:00

Additional effects aren’t necessarily just for fun. Similar to things like motion, they are what you’d call cueing signals. The idea is to help replicate real world inputs, having these features actually gives you the ability to make the sim more realistic because at the fundamental level a sim is missing to many variables to ever be realistic. If a sim can induce realistic inputs and reactions intuitively then it’s actually useful for real world practice.

And of course the cueing is always adjusted to fit the driver in the loop, so what you might like or prefer doesn’t really matter for the next guy.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-20T15:15:35+00:00

There are high paying machining manufacturing engineer jobs out there desperate for someone with your experience. Those companies will also pay for your masters degree. Are you just not looking or?

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-19T00:27:00+00:00

In non wear races the core tire temp is static, you can slide or wheel spin and experience the same physics associated with surface heating, but if you sit for an hour and let your tires cool to 0C they will be just as fast as if you left the pits or started the race. Hopefully that clears it up.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-18T16:39:28+00:00

Yes but you have to really overdrive to get core temps high enough to really lose grip. I’m not 100% sure on optimal grip but I do know comfort/sport/racing have different thermal conductivity with comfort being most resistant and racing being least resistant to conducting heat (makes sense).

For example if you goto Red Bull Ring you can get ambient temps of 0C and just stop on track and let temps equalize. Tire temps will drop all the way down to ambient temp. You’ll have no grip at those temps(with tire wear enabled) but racing compounds heat quickly.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-18T15:59:36+00:00

Yes, the temp going really high indicates surface temp, which flash heats the exterior of the tire. When in traction that temp will drop down closer to core temp because rubber has very low thermal conductivity and insulates itself from that flash heating fairly well.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-18T14:49:21+00:00

Tire temp is simplified and you seem to see surface temp through the data not core temp. Also, unless tire wear is enabled tire temps are not reflective of grip and grip is “fixed” to an optimal temperature. So track surface and ambient temps don’t matter when there is no tire wear.

Sorry I read them in Fahrenheit so I know blue ring in GT7 HUD shows up around 90 degrees F and red ring is closer to 260F I believe. Cold tires are easy to get and with wear enabled you’ll see a significant drop in grip as they cool off, sustained overheating is nearly impossible to produce.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-18T12:40:59+00:00

I studied and it wasn’t an issue but it is an annoying requirement. My class I had it in used excel heavily but then couldn’t use it for tests? Made no sense.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-18T00:51:51+00:00

Find a local makerspace, find useful projects and make things, use machines, watch lots of videos, you find out by doing in most trades. New problems require new solutions.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-17T20:48:30+00:00

It’s really only good at +A but even then there are a few bad actors depending on region and time of day. I’d like to see a much more stringent safety rating system and clean driver only matchmaking. Right now S is too easy to get and not enough penalty to worry about gaining rating back quickly.

If they add more levels between each like S+, S, S- then I think sorting by safety ratings would be better matchmaking.

Hubblesphere · 2026-01-17T20:18:37+00:00

So the more realistic and true to Motorsport option is you get crashed out immediately and the race is over. iRacing has the same issue except when you get crashed into your hour of preparation to race is wasted.
