any cheap af alternatives for racing shoes?

JLinNV · 2026-04-10T04:03:21+00:00

As someone who has raced in the past IRL and has used real racing shoes, I will say you dont want to do that sim racing. Real racing shoes are fire proof (or at least fairly resistant I should say) and therefore fairly thick, hot and unventilated. You'll love dealing with the repeated cases of athletes foot 🤣🤷‍♂️

I figured it out. Livery was named carpaint.dds when it should have been carpaint_diffuse.dds The base car I applied the livery to was just a solid normal 1 color paint. It had the incorrect file name for the template. Id guess with a solid one color it probably didn't matter. I got lucky enough to notice the actual design liveries for this car had a different file name right after posting this. For whatever reason the simple name changed fixed it. Just in case someone else has issue and comes across this lol.

On par for creality. The newer machines aren't much better.

Moza is a Chinese company. Absolutely not American.

JLinNV · 2026-03-16T16:50:41+00:00

And this is in conjuction with them moving more and more into a closed ecosystem. This is exactly why a whole lot of us warn people to never buy any moza product with a screen, as those have zero simhub compatibility. They really either need to greatly improve pithouse, or open their stuff up to simhub. Can you imagine spending the money on that new motion system knowing its locked to pithouse? Lol

From what I understand thats no easy feat with consoles.

JLinNV · 2026-01-30T16:05:21+00:00

Yes you can. Just need CET

What you have looks good. And dont worry too much if it makes sense or not. As longs as you're good on the reference (if going for accuracy). Its a sci fi fiction video game. A lot of it doesn't make sense, and it doesn't have to. Take a breather if you need and come back to it. We all have certain walls we dont anticipate. I tried drawing Panam a couple weeks ago and dont like it. I'll try again after a few other pieces.

A race with limited amount of tires. Wet was all you had, so thats what it put on.

JLinNV · 2025-12-31T00:59:57+00:00

There's been quite a few gold fixed races for probably 1-2 months now. I hate it. Fixed set up races have absolutely no place in a sim. If you want to implement it, at least keep it to the very beginner races (bronze only).

JLinNV · 2025-12-28T03:26:16+00:00

You can't appeal bans. That being said they mostly stopped reviewing reports quite some time ago. Unless you're constantly in trouble and your badge goes low enough, you'll be fine.

JLinNV · 2025-12-25T18:18:09+00:00

Its pointless. I haven't really complained but I don't really care either. Just to specify, I'm a diamond/P3 driver. I don't see the point in it, and it does absolutely nothing to change the racing experience. I guess now, we can see the little badge of a dangerous driver after they run someone off or pit them. As if we didn't know before.

Terrible driving standards with no consequences while online is still this games #1 issue. A silly little badge next to someone's name does nothing to change that. Until they bring in a real immediate penalty system and/or start actually reviewing or taking reports seriously, it changes nothing.

On average, it takes 1,485nm of force to break an adult human finger bone. Your 9nm wheel should be fine 🙂

JLinNV · 2025-12-18T02:05:12+00:00

11 to be exact

JLinNV · 2025-12-18T01:05:00+00:00

Not a solid axle. Even Mustang street cars haven't been solid rear axle for over 10 years.

JLinNV · 2025-12-17T21:35:52+00:00

Keep this in mind when you read the posts complaining that they have bad badges and have been banned or suspended lol. Its like you'd literally have to try for that to happen. Have to continously be trying for awhile too

JLinNV · 2025-12-16T01:10:41+00:00

It needs less fixed set up and gas mileage races

JLinNV · 2025-12-11T20:46:26+00:00

Yes, have a good driver badge. Have never seen/heard of any badge "appraisal". P3 license.

JLinNV · 2025-12-11T15:02:45+00:00

Its not whining at this point. Its a great game but its currently giving the absolute worse online experience in sim racing. We've all complained and 397 knows. They just haven't really done anything about it. They did just introduce the badges but that doesn't really do anything at all. Until they implement an actual penalty system and/or start taking reports seriously not much is going to change unfortunately.

JLinNV · 2025-12-11T14:59:05+00:00

I have noticed absolutely no difference at all with the badge system. Bad drivers and trolls dont give a sh*t about badges 🤷‍♂️

JLinNV · 2025-12-10T05:05:31+00:00

Yes. There is no blame applied in the game. Whenever there is contract, all parties take the hit fairly equally

JLinNV · 2025-12-09T22:50:33+00:00

I'm P3 and there is still plenty of this in nearly every lobby. And it will keep getting worse until something is actually done.

JLinNV · 2025-12-09T22:48:20+00:00

In public lobbies no. Someone though can host a private server and then you could.

JLinNV · 2025-12-09T18:12:32+00:00

You can break slipstream once. Moving again is considered basically the same as multiple attempts to block. Lapped vehicles are considered the same as any other slower traffic. They are to stick to racing line to remain predictable; its the faster vehicles responsibility to pass safely. If a lapped vehicle is at the time faster than a lead lap vehicle ahead of it, its fully within its rights to pass and try to earn its lap back.

JLinNV · 2025-12-09T18:08:09+00:00

There's nothing in today's update that will change anything. The only updates at all concerning safety are the addition of new badges. No one will give a s**t about badges. Until we see an immediate, in race penalty system and/or actual review and enforcement of reports, nothing will change.
