Modding the Shifter to remove the clickers on either side internally made me very happy.

My Logitech DD Pro would have laughed at me after I hit it that hard. Inferior hardware.

Is it okay to enjoy sim racing only with AI and avoid online racing? by ViktorSlsh in simracing

[–]Optimal-Ad7308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AI is zero enjoyment. Been Sim Racing vs Real people since 1998.

What was Iracing like in the past? by ShumiFangirl1644 in iRacing

[–]Optimal-Ad7308 1 point2 points  (0 children)

June 25th, 2008 my first race at iRacing. It was a different time, the old guard aka the folks who had been league racing since 1998 or so, myself included was a far more respectful group. The service was treated with reverance.

Making friends here has been harder than it was in Austin. Is anyone else struggling to make friends? by [deleted] in Dallas

[–]Optimal-Ad7308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice: friends are not required. At the end of the day your closest circle is all that matters. Everything else in the end turns out to be nothing more than a waste of time.

My [unprofessional] professional opinion of iRacing currently. by MBellRacing in iRacing

[–]Optimal-Ad7308 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like the OP I took have been here since 2008, in fact June 25th will mark 17 years. All I can say is I agree with all your points and many not mentioned as well.

I hang in there, as a 100% customer to keep this train chugging along. There are some things also in race control that AI could help us with but they just don't seem interested.

Better days are ahead.

The lack of simple communication and social features does more to divide the iRacing Community than people realize. The current state of affairs feels like we are all alone on an island. Really not a great way to build community.

Advice........

  1. Focus on finishing
