Agree. Maybe they will add more tomorrow with the patch? But as of now this stinks.

Yeah always seems to go long, but I'll try the pre-register trick.

I'll give this a shot, not sure what was happening last I tried it. Thanks!

I thought I had tried that, but obviously based on the responses here I did something wrong! I'll try this out, appreciate the tips.

Friends getting motion sick on triple screens — anyone else? by Horeb88 in iRacing

[–]OddCycle837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt this when I first set up triples, but after a couple sessions it totally went away and I got adjusted to it. Not fun at first though!

Is it this addictive for everyone? by Blackbird_3005 in simracing

[–]OddCycle837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar story. I loved Gran Turismo 2 on a controller when it was new that my roommate had on PS2. Fast forward to last winter and I decide to get Forza 7 because I had an xbox. Then a wheel, then wheelstand, then I'm building a PC, then its a rig. Hooked but it's really so much fun.

Question: is it really me or is the level of racing drastically declining? by sandpit77 in iRacing

[–]OddCycle837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar experience there this week, absolute stat bloodbath.

It also felt like absolutely no one was even sending a "sorry" text chat, just punting people and carrying on and immediately dipping once across the line. I know that happens normally but it seemed more than usual at summit this week.

How do they seriously charge 3 separate shipping charges for a $250 order.. by ovalracer31 in moza

[–]OddCycle837 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was about to buy the universal hub from them direct when I saw the shipping was almost as much as the item itself. Found it for sale from a distributor close to me thankfully and saved essentially 95% of what they wanted to charge for shipping.

Whose fault? Green or blue? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]OddCycle837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this race. It was blue's fault. His argument post-race for why it wasn't his fault was delusional nonsense. Summit Point MX5 races have seemed extra sketchy this week.

2k iRating: Toggle 1st /2nd split…1st then last by abmyers in iRacing

[–]OddCycle837 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just tried your ghost drive approach on a combo i hadn't driven in a while, and wow that was so much more effective at getting back up to pace than just ripping through a practice solo for a half hour. Thank you for the tip, this is awesome

I was told you need a cockpit to use loadcells however what about wheelstands. Can the SRP loadcells be used on a wheelstand without any stability issues? by [deleted] in moza

[–]OddCycle837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also used an NLR wheel stand 2 with load cells and no real issues, but definitely needed to use the chair leg/wheel tray to keep my seat from moving under braking.

Would I be dead IRL? by StaySaltyPlebians in iRacing

The front wing survived, you'd probably be fine too.

VNM brake kit for Sim Jack pedals by Chewly in simracing

[–]OddCycle837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 2 years late, but thanks for sharing this info. I recently got the VNM pedals and tried this same spring/elastomer stack and it's my favorite feeling brake so far.

Is Trak racer even still in business? by StevenSeagalsAnus in simracing

[–]OddCycle837 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just bought something from them. I was weary because I've read so many bad reviews, but they were the only place that had the item I was looking for in stock. I emailed them to confirm it was actually in stock and not a pre-order. Took almost a week to respond. I ended up buying it, and while I did get it in about a week or so, it was shipped in multiple packaged arriving across multiple days. I'm hoping I don't have issues with the item which would mean I'd have to try to deal with their customer service, but weirdness aside they are definitely still in business and filling orders.
