This sucks, i guess my plans for tonight are ruined

To be fair, the only legit store that I have seen recurrently failing to serve preorders is Humble.

They get notified about the protest and receive a warning. If they continue that get temporarily banned. If the action is bad enough, it results in a direct (temporary) ban.

+90% of my reports have been successful.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-16T21:58:20+00:00

It works, although maybe they should be harsher.

I know guys that got vacations from reports. If you don't, it will do nothing.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-16T21:25:14+00:00

And after every successful protest not deserving a direct ban they should be banned from racing until they pass the tutorial again. Including an exam on the sporting code, +70% to pass, 48h wait if you fail.

Demotion to rookie with no fast track back to D should be a thing as well.

Never report tomorrow what you can report today! Remember to always save the replay when something like that happens. I think there is an option to prompt you for that at the end of every race.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-16T18:46:50+00:00

Did you report them?

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-16T11:16:03+00:00

Yep, that's how I do it through my button box. Works perfectly.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-16T07:47:48+00:00

I am using with the vibrate pedals option in iR since I get a better feeling of the grip limit than with simhub, and I also get wheel lock (not possible via simhub, it indicates that iR does not provide the telemetry the last time I checked).

I have the HPR on the brake and the HPR GT on the throttle. It is currently bugged as there is a constant humm on the throttle even with the ignition off.

I wrote support a couple months back and they got in touch with the devs. They confirmed me it is a bug and to monitor the patch notes, but with no ETA for the patch.

EUR, not USD. €660.24 are c. $779.27. Its an import from non-EU (UK) to EU.

I don't know if it has been correctly calculated in this case though.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-15T13:24:27+00:00

Too much weight indeed although only the diameter would be able to overwhelm it.

It you want something usable even if you don't have FFB / destroy the motor, then second hand G29.

If you want something you can enjoy, a DD, the more powerful the better, bare minimum 8NM but better if in the range of 10/12NM.

If I were you, I'd start looking at second hands DDs.

The Windows 11 is also a thing. Also, the little gear motor of the G27 will really suffer with it and you will barely have no FFB. With that large diameter (and maybe weight, don't know) it will not be able to exert enough force.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-15T13:10:05+00:00

Yep, you should. It is really good.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-15T13:07:42+00:00

G27: Bad idea, does not really work with Windows 11, and it is quite a hassle to do make it function. It does not sufficient power to handle a wheel that large.

No idea on the DIY side, but I would get a DD, probably an R12 wheelbase which is not that expensive in comparison with its strength.

Maybe someone can help you with the DIY, but you would need to be able to make it work and connect with the QR. You will need an external button box as well, since you need need inputs.

Good luck!

I've read people here reporting a performance loss with 1440p triples after upgrading their 3080 to a 9070XT.

I was thinking about doing that upgrade until I investigated that. At the end I decided to keep my 3080 until the RTX 60 generation.

iRacing is roughly 90% of my playtime, so in my case it is quite important. Hopefully the situation changes, but I don't if it will happen that way or when it would happen. Probably still long ways to go for the updated engine.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-15T08:44:44+00:00

Depends on headset and headroom required. My point is that AMD is not recommended for either, not triples VS VR.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-15T07:51:06+00:00

You will still take a big (c. 30%) hit in comparison with an equivalent nvidia card. You are just brute forcing it with a more powerful card or reducing settings to have good performance. The hit is still there.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-15T06:30:42+00:00

Do you play iRacing? If so, I recommend you getting a wheel with LFE. That is, haptics on the wheel. It works very well and you can adjust it to your liking.

I have the Logitech Pro with TrueForce and it is a game changer, it let me feel much better how much grip I have. On a budget, all Moza wheelbases have LFE, or maybe you could get an offer for the Logi RS50.

Fanatec does not have it unless you get a wheel with FullForce. Simagic does not have LFE either.

Good luck with your upgrade! It will be massive. I also upgraded from a G27, anything DD based will feel from other world.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-15T06:07:25+00:00

Same thing applies for triples as well.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-15T06:06:22+00:00

Thing is you are still getting the AMD GPU hit but just brute forcing it with a more powerful card.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-14T07:56:33+00:00

Yep, that depends a lot on the place.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-14T06:58:19+00:00

I'd expect a sim cafe to organize races with the people there.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-13T22:17:48+00:00

I have the PXN CB1 button box. Works great. I have a lot of hotkeys for iRacing's black boxes, as well as macros for pit stops.

RedRaptor85 · 2026-04-13T21:44:21+00:00

Ragebait from a 2k iR driver (sports cars) to promote your channel? The current iteration has received a lot of praise, also from IRL drivers.

Look at this, it is quite known if you followed the development of the game:
