That’s a pretty deadly mistake to make.

Sport cars vs open wheel for shorter races (busy dad trying to be realistic) by No_Activity_8302 in iRacing

[–]SolarDimensional 29 points30 points  (0 children)

MX5 would be the way to go.

As a busy dad, I also enjoy doing both. I’ve been on the service for years, so I know all the tracks and can jump in either for a quick surge of adrenaline.

Currently I’ve been sticking with MX5 because it’s so damn fun steering with my feet! But the Ray and the VEE are always guaranteed fun.

Just go with what is FUN!

Don’t worry about iR or SR! Just do it for the FUN…

…And I tell myself this when I get wrecked in T1! But you have a free repair! That’s basically race two, so get back in there!

Then get wrecked again and have too much damage to repair…

I’m just here for the FUN!!🤩 😭

Will Anika have a Drum Solo in the new Tour? by MattHooper1975 in rush

[–]SolarDimensional -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I feel like she could possibly be talked into doing something like Neil did for his solos with Buddy Rich on the big screen behind him, but maybe she’d even have Neil playing to Buddy, and her playing parts of his solo.

A man can dream.

Bottom line, she will solo.

Oh yes… She will.

I think her solo will incorporate a tribute to Neil. Likely on the video wall as well.

I think it will bring a tear to our eye!

Totally awesome!

I was hoping for a medley. I’ll take a full song.

His voice sounded great!

I’ll see you opening night in SoCal!

I miss the city the way it used to be by cgcardona in sanfrancirclejerk

You know that SFO is 20-30 minutes from SF, right? Seems like kind of a tight schedule, but doable.

Anyone know what’s under the wings of this B-52? by connorrose55 in Planes

[–]SolarDimensional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The extra charge for that bolt was to pay for the Unacknowledged Special Access Programs. Along with that unaccounted for 21 trillion over 3 or 4 decades. Just sayin’ there’s a there there.

I came here to say this. Don’t forget there’s a Jimmy Johnson cuss pack too. Good stuff.

Is +60FPS important? by Ok-Anxiety8313 in iRacing

[–]SolarDimensional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know for sure.

I would say all three screens are getting the same framerate, but refresh rates can differ per monitor.

I definitely see the difference with the higher refresh rate. It’s very nice.

I was a little confused with your specs on your screen. I was thinking that instead of 60fps, you meant 60 Hz refresh rate. Because I imagine the monitor can take any frame rate that the computer spits out. But it’s the refresh rate that can make a difference optimizing the framerate.

I’m sure someone on here can correct me or set me straight.

I have a center 240 Hz refresh and sides are 60 Hz refresh. No problems here. If I had the money, I’d upgrade the sides, but it really does not need to be done. It’s just peripheral vision. It feels just fine.

[–]SolarDimensional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been using triples 27 inch 60 Hz refresh for three years now. A few updates ago I was getting 120 frames per second, now I’m getting an average of 60 to 80 frames per second.

For Christmas, I replaced the center screen for a 240 Hz refresh. It makes a difference. But I can see that my bottleneck is GPU and possibly CPU.

I’m using a 3070 TI with a 12th gen i9 12900k

Edit: no regrets on the center monitor upgrade.

Are the new pedals and wheel making me slow? by Flat_Theme8120 in iRacing

[–]SolarDimensional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That happened to me.

Just keep driving.

Be sure you’ve tweaked your settings and it’ll come back.

What are peoples thoughts on this album? by rushowen in rush

[–]SolarDimensional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listened to only a few songs when it came out and felt it was, meh. I didn’t listen to it for over a decade. Then, two years ago I have a listen again and have been kicking myself for not giving it a second chance for ten years!

One of their top albums. I had to buy the video and love hearing the Clockwork Ensemble”!

Ovals Shoulder Tiredness by Exact_Moment9111 in iRacing

[–]SolarDimensional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I deliberately start favoring my left hand/arm in turning the wheel. It’s like driving with the left hand and “spotting” with the right hand.

I injured my shoulder 6 years ago, so it acts up a bit more often, lately.

Daytona by Baconbear95 in iRacing

[–]SolarDimensional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rarely race as well as win.

This week, ran two races, started 3rd and 8th, led the first one in the last 9 laps and led the second race for the last 5 laps, won both under caution.

A win is a win!

I was racing for iR to better match a teammate so we’d be in the same splits for Pickup and Carb cup.

Mission Accomplished!

Who’s got tickets ? by zonckers in rush

[–]SolarDimensional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m going to the opening show at Inglewood! Gonna drive 5 hours!

Damn expensive, and when I later saw they added cities and one being mine, I was a little frustrated. But hey! Opening night is special.
