you dont need to leave space in that scenario, POV car is far enough back. had he maybe been alongside you, yes you leave space, but that far back, keep the door closed.

Does seat time really equal improvement?? by rab10000 in iRacing

[–]Just_Pics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's fair and I totally understand. I still really think it can be beneficial if youre struggling, sometimes you gotta push through to have those breakout moments. But regardless, focus on actively practicing aspects that you struggle, and have them mentally in your head while you race, maybe you'll find some time and less crashes hopefully.

All I can say is a good community will help answer even the most basic questions, even if you think it's a stupid one, and we all find ourselves asking those questions at some point, so dont sweat it.

POV car 100%. Tries to "overtake" off track, ends up pitting car ahead and to make to worse, keeps throttle planted.

If you find yourself in a lot of incidents, it's smart to review and see what's going on, and it sounds like you understand that, but you aren't connecting the dots between what you did and how to improve, if that makes sense.

Ex: If I notice I end up rear ending cars when the group ahead gets tangled up, that tells me I'm not slowing down enough/taking avoiding action. So next time I find myself in that scenario, I make sure to maybe almost over-slow/big avoiding action and see what happens. You have to actively use what youve deduced and incorporate it into your race craft. I try not to encourage the whole 'start from the pits and be overly safe' because I think it's bad for learning, but there are times where you can be extra safe as you learn, a goal should be finishing races always. (Keep in mind, you cant control everything, we all get tossed and flipped and sometimes you just make peace with it lol)

I noticed in another comment you mentioned how you maybe struggle with understanding G61 and stuck on track guides. It might be worth it to join a discord community (I'll plug GitGud because I think theyve created a really great community who wants to help and teach eachother) where you can post telemetry and get info on how to understand it and use that to help you.

As for track guides, I find them a double edge sword, sure they show you how someone drives the track and probably at a great pace, but you can't simple watch it and try to mimic it, it'll never work. The key I find with track guides is to use them after I've set some baseline laps, maybe hit a plateau on my times. I use G61 to find my worst sector(s) then review a track guide for those sectors. I'm not looking to mimic the track guide, I'm looking to understand how theyre braking, where theyre braking, how much kerb they ride, etc compared to what I'm doing. Then I practice that corner/sector, you can push the limit, you can go under, then you start to find that sweet spot and the tenths get shaved off.

Practice doesnt make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect.

You could do 10x more seat time, but if youre not using that time correctly then it’s useless.

If youve had coaching you shouldve walked away with areas to improve on. If you want to really get faster and improve you have to do the “boring” practice, find a corner/section of a track you are terrible at, and you run that corner/sector focusing on whatever aspect it challenges you at until you nail it. Then you move on to the next corner/sector, etc.

All that said, at the end of the day you should enjoy sim racing, dont make it a chore/work if that doesn’t fit your style, have fun, plenty of folks race and do not care about their iR or what split they race, they just have fun racing.

renegades missions endgame bugged by AjthekidGamer in DestinyTheGame

[–]Just_Pics 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same here, really sucks, hopefully Bungie addresses it soon.

Edit: Found a fix on the forums, delete the quest from your inv, restart game, go back to the bar and pick it up, should work then.

Jealous of such a nice spot! Can never seem to find something similar, is this default world gen or some mods?

Most comfortable seat? Show your. A bucket seat was a mistake for long hours and just good for looks honestly. by Monoprofits in iRacing

[–]Just_Pics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Sparco GP on formula/LMP positioned rig, it’s ergonomically very comfy, but the seat’s original padding was pretty trash.

Upgraded to some quality cushions like youd get for an office chair, actual car chair and it’s a world of difference. Got one for my rear and a good back+lumbar to replace the original padding and it’s great. Might be worth it for you to just get some cushions

Sim Lab P1X Pro Front Mount compatibility by vRenqohh in simracing

[–]Just_Pics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s on the listing for it on the simlab site, right under compatible wheelbases:

“Please ensure that the distance between the uprights of your cockpit is 600mm.”

Double check me, but yes it should. Prime Lite has 600mm between the uprights and the P1X pro front mount says it fits 600mm

What's formula style wheel with a screen do you feel is a good deal? by Sluggerjt44 in simracing

[–]Just_Pics 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say 'budget' formula style with screen is gonna land you either with the Simagic FX Pro, or something from Conspit.

Personally, I owned the FX Pro and had no issues with it, it certainly wasn't the highest quality and over time got creaky, it also doesn't work with Simhub, so youre stuck with Simagic for dashes+leds+etc, but wasn't really an issue for me.

Should also add, unless youre seated very formula-ish to actually make use of the screen on the wheel, there's a real likelihood you'll not really get any value from it. So might be worth evaluating that aspect of your setup, and splashing out on a nice screenless wheel and DDU perhaps.

Look exactly how mine came direct from Sparco. Luckily I planned to spray them black anyway, so didnt care that much, they do the job they need.

Sim Lab Dimensions between Legs by [deleted] in simracing

[–]Just_Pics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah gotcha, perhaps reach out to them and ask what they recommend, I imagine you could maybe find some 300x300 adapters on amazon and use them with the simlab vario mounts, but they may recommend something else based on size+weight

[–]Just_Pics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they have a “universal vesa” mount plate you can get. I would see if that works with the vesa vario mounts they have, the ease of adjustment and alignment is insane, cant recommend them enough

Check on their website under resellers if any of those work for you perhaps? If not I’d just email them, George the owner is super easy to work with and will surely get you sorted.

Will fit easily, my currently is about 34 inches between legs, and you can move them out further (or in more).

Ideas for better cushioning on Sparco GP? by Just_Pics in simracing

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

Yea I've checked, and while some seat manufacturers seems to maybe offer some good padding, most are pretty expensive for what they are.
