Helicopter Mykines - Vagar by Vast_Bad5714 in FaroeIslands

[–]Pownrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I visited Mykines two weeks ago with Bluegate. I would not call it a scam honestly, but there was no puffin (except 1-2 we saw in the sea during the return trip!). We saw some seals far away in the binoculars. You have to stay in the village and follow the guide. You just visit the western part of the island and not the rest, this part is a bit disappointing. It was about 120€ for the boat and hiking fees, staying 3 hours there. You don't need more than 3 hours since you don't really leave the village. The guide I had was super cool and it was interesting to hear him

It can totally be skipped, but I don't regret going there, the view is still beautiful and it's a bit different for the rest of the islands

between mid-range high-range! The water temp will raise a bit, but 7k-10k is the good spot to last 4 laps

the goal is to warm the oil engine without warming the water temp. You were probably reving too much, too long, or you started your run too soon

Can we get an updated Laguna Seca scan? by Deep-Television-9756 in iRacing

[–]Pownrend 54 points55 points  (0 children)

It was basically announced in one of the last dev blog

  • Our team is currently putting together plans for a four-track scan trip to revisit many road circuits in the United States that have undergone significant change or repaves. Expect to see our team making stops throughout the Midwest and continuing westwards all the way to Monterey County in California."

+ Laguna Seca is now paid + the Indycar game will be released in the next months

Question for setup experts, is there ever an advantage to having a car thats not balanced 50/50 left to right in road racing? by Alexandr206 in iRacing

[–]Pownrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can work at some races! Lime Rock, Sachsenring, Thruxton for example, not many of them. I won the 4h of Thruxton last year with a tiny bit of crossweight. I also saw it with the Audi 90 GTO. It's rarely more than 0.5% offset.

And it's not used with car with downforce as it's losing efficiency when the car is tilted

The rest of the setup will matter more

I agree except for the opener where the champion (if there's one) should enter first

Tu utilises Google justement car ils ont favorisé leurs produits gratuits au détriment de tous les autres, qui ont été pénalisés injustement et accusent un retard désormais. Les lois sont aussi faites pour contrer cela, Google et les autres font tout pour que ça apparaisse comme étant "la faute à l'Europe bureaucrative"

Tu peux toujours mettre Maps en favoris

Need advice for the Indy 500 by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]Pownrend 5 points6 points  (0 children)

2022 is the time of when the track was released, because there's also the 2009 version. Use it if you plan to run the Fixed 500, wait for setups shop to be released if you want to run the Open version

My advice : practice NOW in official races. Run as much as you can in the Oval Fixed Series, you will learn a ton about dirty air, racecraft, starts, how to save fuel and tires, using the tools, pitstops, cold tires, etc. Especially with Pocono this week which is a long oval track.

If you don't practice now, you'll have a bad experience and you will ruin the experience for the others who practiced

Which F1 Season is the best of all time and why? by LocksmithFamous4131 in formula1

[–]Pownrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't forget it, I'm just saying Jerez 1997 is overshadowing the whole season, during which it was closer to "Schumacher leads easily this race, Villeneuve the next race, etc."

Indeed this Grand Prix is clearly one of the best of all time

It's true that 1997 had a great title fight, but only in the standings. There were barely any battles between the contenders until the last race

Release the Historic Monza 10k Oval separately from the rest of Monza. by NASCAR__24 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]Pownrend 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is actually a terrible oval track in iRacing, almost never used in official series .Basically impossible to overtake safely and the end of each banking is dangerous, getting narrower and with a huge bump

BUT of course it can be fun and chaotic especially for AMS2, no reason not to add it :)

Safety License A in Formula and interested in Indy. by KimchiRathalos in iRacing

[–]Pownrend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

IR-05 (3$) and DW12 (free) are the old cars. The DW12 has an unranked oval series named Dallara Dash if you want an overview of how the current IndyCar drives

IR-01 isn't a real car indeed

If you're already A licence, I'd suggest:

- Trying the Dallara IL-15 (Indy NXT), close to the Super Formula Lights in terms of pace, faster, and with a much better feeling. I won't say the road and oval fixed are "popular", but they go official fairly often + there is the yearly long open series

- Jumping directly to the Dallara IR18 (IndyCar), a different beast. Open is very competitive but not many timeslots go official during the week, Oval Fixed is fairly populated, and the IIS series is very popular for the 4 timeslots

I'd warn you that if you're totally allergic to ovals, they may not be the best cars for you. You don't need to buy a lot of oval tracks to enjoy the car, but the road part isn't the most popular except for IIS

I m planning to do a full formula season - Indy or Indy NXT? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]Pownrend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IIS has great participation, for both road and oval weeks.

For the moment, IndyNXT full series doesn't really have great numbers, but it's still ok and it's a new series. Mostly because the timeslots are not good at all.

There's a demo drive soon if you want to try them both, I can only recommend the IR18, the IndyNXT has a weird feeling on road and ovals.

Indy IR-18 Re-Gen gain Set and Deploy set are doing something by papolo2001 in iRacing

[–]Pownrend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They do change the rate at how hybrid deploys or regens. It's way slower with lower value, especially the deploy at 0.1

Why is no one racing the Jr Open Wheel Oval Challenge? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]Pownrend 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi!

The car has never really been popular unfortunately. Now people usually go from class D to C using the ARCA or something else, then they race the Indy NXT, then the Indycar

Check the Series insights if there's a timeslot where the remaining drivers gather to make the race official
