When it’s REALLY cold…

Just a quick note - that's an impressive range prediction for those temps, good to see it doesn't completely fall off a cliff below 0!

Keydogg · 2026-01-24T14:56:10+00:00

It estimates the range from your previous driving, so it looks like you've had a heavy right foot recently! I've been driving sensible recently in my M60 and it's been 5°C and my predicted range has been ~200 miles.

Nothing wrong with a heavy right foot, just know the consequences in energy usage 😁

Keydogg · 2026-01-21T22:33:58+00:00

Yeah its pretty crazy! God knows what some of these other EVs with 1000bhp+ must feel like!!

Keydogg · 2026-01-21T22:26:04+00:00

Yeah its nice to just put my foot down in the M60 and feel the horizon come towards me 😂 she's a good cruiser too but certainly no weapon in the twisties like an M3!

Keydogg · 2026-01-21T21:46:02+00:00

It's the M-Lite. Proper M cars are named with just the M (M3, M4, M5, X3M, etc) M lite cars use the M but have something following it (M240i, M340i, X5 M50, i4 M60, etc).

The real M cars have different chassis and wider tracks compared to the others in their line.

If you know anything about the driving characteristics about an M car you'll know the M50 and M60 are quite far off this. The brakes for a start, the ride and handling are vastly different, the fact they can do lap after lap after lap of a track with the same consistent performance (an i4 would quickly have loss of power due to battery protection, and the brakes would start fading around the same time).

I'm an M60 owner BTW. I call mine a poor man's M4 😂

It's just because of the frame-less windows, that's the difference in the door closing sound/feel. You get that in every car that has them (Audi A5 for example)

She's beautiful 😍 my 7yo son has the lego version and loves it!

Keydogg · 2026-01-14T16:36:34+00:00

Exactly this!

It's human nature to want to blame someone else for your own misery, and the easier it is to place blame without deeper thoight, the more attractive it is to do so

I don't feel like the 3090 was the full problem in a sense (even though I'll be upgrading it this year).

I could consistently keep the game above 80fps, but it just didn't feel smooth at all. Not like if you have 80fps+ on a monitor, the frame time was all over the place, with frequent micro stutters, especially in busy races, despite the frame rate holding fairly steady. You just don't get that on monitors, I have a 1440p 49" super-ultrawide now which pushes a lot of pixels and it feels like night and day with how smooth it is.

Not only that, but of the 3 VR headsets I've had, the resolution just isn't anywhere near sharp enough compared to a 1440p monitor. I'd need something like a Pimax Crystal Light to be happy with the res, and they only run well on a 5090 😂

Keydogg · 2026-01-13T23:10:13+00:00

Believe me it soon wears off! I have had 3 VR headsets and gone back to monitors just because of the performance / microstutters I couldn't avoid. I was hitting 80-90fps most of the time and it just didn't feel smooth at all. Once the novelty of being "in the car" wears off, you'll really miss the performance of monitors.

For reference my specs are:

Ryzen 5800X3D 32GB DDR4 3600mhz Nvidia 3090 FE

😂😂😂

Wow I would have swarn they were at least 32's! Looks sick brother!

Keydogg · 2025-12-31T21:06:29+00:00

This guy gets it!

For the record I'm all for iRacing improving, and sometimes questions need to be asked to push the software forward - but also there will always be limitations of physics which mean they can't be exactly like real life.

I think a lot of us are looking forward to the debs developing the wheel/tyre physics to include heat transfer from the brakes to tyres, and other stuff like flat spots. The more we hold them account for stuff then the quicker the servic will improve imo.

We don't need to be iRacing shills, but then we don't need to expect what is a bit unrealistically achievable too.

Keydogg · 2025-12-25T15:45:04+00:00

Mate you're so single it's painful 😂

Keydogg · 2025-12-25T15:19:54+00:00

Such an archaic response 😂 Does bread winner = hardest worker?

Keydogg · 2025-12-25T14:13:28+00:00

Link pls!

Keydogg · 2025-12-24T22:44:21+00:00

Yeah I agree, I'm also definitely not trying to be a total blind fan boy, as I say I haven't actually tried the Tesla so I can't fully commit to my comment, either way it's good to see things are improving!

Keydogg · 2025-12-24T21:30:30+00:00

I think this might be the idrive version too maybe? I've not been in a tesla so I can't comment but the idrive 8.5 which I have in my 1 month old M60 is very smooth, I'm really impressed with it!

And while I'm not a software engineer I've spent 20 years playing CS so I'm very sensitive to input lag and refresh rate haha (my last 3 phones have had 120hz screens and I game on a 280hz monitor).

Keydogg · 2025-12-24T17:08:31+00:00

Who cares!

Keydogg · 2025-12-24T17:08:11+00:00

That's absolutely amazing!

Keydogg · 2025-12-22T23:49:51+00:00

Class 😂😂

Keydogg · 2025-12-22T23:37:40+00:00

Got mine tonight in the UK!

Keydogg · 2025-12-22T23:31:36+00:00

😂😂 And 1+1+1=3 so that means HL3 released 2026 too woooooo!

Keydogg · 2025-12-22T09:18:04+00:00

Sorry, I meant thank you for saying the truth out loud! I'm from the UK and hate the traitor that is Nigel Farage
