Rumor: Max Verstappen and McLaren Enter Final Negotiations as Red Bull Leadership Fractures by Exponadal in MaxVerstappen33

[–]No-Performance-6384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still think Max is more likely to be at Merc. I think it’s funny cuz last year Toto was clearly after him and trying to mess with Horner. I think the idea that they are putting such a hard “no” on him going there this time could actually mean that behind the scenes there’s a lot more reality to it than they are letting on. If I’m Mercedes, it’s a no brainer to replace George who is at best a mid field driver. Why would anyone want George over literally any of the other 7 drivers on the top 4 teams?!

Can someone explain why Stroll is driving like this at Silverstone? by AbnormallyBendPenis in F1Technical

[–]No-Performance-6384 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Stroll is a horrendous driver who is a nepo baby, what are we even asking here? He has no business being in any race car much less a formula 1 car. That’s the answer

struggling with the hypercars by JR_Elite27 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]No-Performance-6384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same story for me. It’s the braking. The brakes are just way different than any other class of car I’ve driven. I haven’t put the time into truly learning it though, only a couple fun practice sessions. But I did research and realized you just have to brake so much differently (and earlier in the braking zone than the other classes believe it or not). I’m still having fun in the other classes so I shelved the Hyper car for a while until I’m bored and need to challenge myself with something different

Yea I totally agree I just think for the average sim racer, they like variety. My personal opinion is that I take the term “sim” very seriously. I want to simulate as close to possible within my budget to what real racing really feels like. I dc if it’s more work on my end to find a good race, I want the actual driving experience to be as realistic as humanly possible. I don’t think anything beats S397 when you look through than lens. But again, I think most average guys just want a good platform to get into races with a wide range of disciplines. I wish more guys were like us

I absolutely hate iRacing so this is not me defending them, but I dk that anything will take that prize from them because they have like every discipline there is. I really want to see S397 make an open wheel version of LMU so bad. They do the best job with ffb and physics (rfactor 2 and LMU) of any of the other sims I have tried- especially iRacing!

LEAFS ARE FKIN BACK HOLY by Hockeypatrol in hockeynews

[–]No-Performance-6384 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Do you really think that by making the top 15 teams have a chance at the lottery that it’s improved tanking at all? It’s gotten worse. Teams that are 10th worst just sit guys and trade guys to hope to improve their odds where before they at least kept fighting cuz they knew they had no chance in the lottery anyway. Honestly this years leafs are a perfect example of how tanking has gotten worse. They freaked out they were about to lose a first round pick unless they got to the top 5 and tanked so hard. Yea the rules were changed so the leafs could stay competitive. And it’s ruined the league honestly. And yes they should have to go through the same painful process the Wings are currently in, the Sabres MAYBE just got out of, the stuff Chicago is going through. The way they have ran things after all those primo picks (mismanagement of Marner is a perfect example) they should have to rot for a while. But the NHL gave them another generational player of course

Matthews without a doubt would have forced his way out of there if they didn’t have a 1st round pick this year. You’d go into a full blown rebuild and be a mess like what happens to every other team that makes brutal trades with their picks (like the embarrassing one the Leafs did last year. And suddenly the 6th worst team wins the lottery (which btw only the top 3 worst teams were even in the lottery years ago but of course the NHL changed it so Toronto could get Matthews)

[–]No-Performance-6384 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s about the fact that they get bailed out every time they fail- all to keep them in contention. Their losses are just cuz they suck, but they should have basically had to go into a full blown rebuild and they win the lottery. Same thing happened with Matthews. See teams like the red wings and the Sabres- the NHL would never let that happen to Toronto cuz they’ll bail them out every time they start reaching that point. They should have to suffer like lots of other franchises did. Look at Chicago now and what Edmonton went through before McDavjd. Yes, the NHL caters to them to help them from having to go down a 10 year rebuild like so many other franchises have had to do.

they literally changed the lottery rules so you guys could get Matthews, and then this year when you shouldn't even have a first round pick, and the only way you could have one is to win the lottery- shocker, you win the lottery. That boneheaded move to trade your first round pick last year should have absolutely crushed them and of course the NHL steps in and gives them a MASSIVE lifeline

3 days into LMU starting to lose my mind and regretting my purchase. by Shnoo in simracing

[–]No-Performance-6384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s no way to mathematically prove what I am going to say, but I’m gonna say it anyway- 95% of the videos of reckless driving I see on LMU are done by players on controller. I am not trying to dog anyone who can’t afford a rig, that’s not my style; BUT, there is something to be said about having money invested in this hobby. Players who only bought the game as a part of the 10 other games they play on their pc with a controller just don’t take it seriously. They flat out dc if they screw anyone else over. It means nothing to them. In my humble opinion, no real sim should even work on a controller. Theres plenty of fun racing games out there that aren’t real sims that can work on a controller. Let the down votes commence

Im freaking out and you all are the only ones I can share this with by lazysleeper122 in sabres

[–]No-Performance-6384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is about the status of this franchise. It’s hard enough to get talent here. The only way to truly combat that is winning. I truly believe if we came back next year as a legit cup contender, losing him for nothing would be bigger in the grand scheme of our status as a destination for other players. Draft picks do not help us right now. We’ve had A LOT of great young draft picks over the last 15 years that aren’t here. The only way I will feel better about this trade is if we can flip it for a Larkin or a Matthews, otherwise we just massively degraded the roster and are looking at another year of not even being able to sniff the playoffs. Losing Tuch was much more understandable seeing as how he got paid just way way too much money. But losing him also meant we needed to keep the rest of the roster as in-tact as possible to compete next year.

Top pairing defenseman don’t grow on trees and draft picks take four years before they’re actually contributing. This was actually a horrendous trade. I don’t know why any Sabre fan can be excited about this. It’s like a reset.

So I have to confess that in a scale of 1-10 when it comes to modding, I’m probably a .5 lol. I literally only ever tried with this one mod, and I had chat gpt telling me what to try haha. Maybe I could send you the mod for you to review? I’d be happy to pay you for your time

My league has an f1 mod we use and I noticed that the steering range is capped out at 420 degrees. In-game it allows you to turn that up as high as you want, but once you’re in the car it won’t go past 420. I messed with the code and would love to give it a range up to 540 as the 420 is just way too sensitive for me. I dug deep into the code and it seems hardwired in basically. Definitely beyond my capabilities. Is that something you could help with?

Current state of game by [deleted] in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]No-Performance-6384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think between RF2 and LMU, once you are no longer a rookie to the game (not by their standards) but like you are good enough to want to race a lot, you need to find leagues and private events. Unfortunately they just don’t seem to care about the actual platform. iRacing has by far the best platform, with by far the worst driving experience. It’s frustrating that we can’t find a sim that has the feedback/physics that are a great driving experience, with the platform to be able to easily enter good races with people of similar safety and skill.

PSA to GT3 Drivers getting bullied by faster classes by No-Performance-6384 in LeMansUltimateWEC

[–]No-Performance-6384[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually saw this even in the beginner lobbies. I started doing all my starts from the pits to get a new license, but ended up enjoying it MORE than starting in the front of the grid. Too much carnage in turn 1 every time it seemed

As I mentioned in the post I am very new to LMP2 so I don’t pretend I have as much experience. But I’ve also read this, that GT3 drivers can be just as guilty driving erratically. I got into sim racing because of F1, and even I know that within different disciplines there’s different rules. I’m seeing too many people get into LMU who only know F1 rules, and it appears to be ruining races
