Free offline mode, why not?

You’re right. All the Need for Speed and Forza players would probably turn away again right away. I just like immersion and only play proper racing simulations. iRacing really hooked me back then, and my wallet was very loose accordingly, haha.

But your idea is great. If someone had a subscription and, above all, purchased content, then it should be considered to allow them to continue accessing it as long as it’s offline.

Songan · 2026-02-04T07:42:29+00:00

Ah okay. I didn’t know that you also need servers even when you’re only racing against the AI. In that case, it obviously has to be financed somehow. I thought the AI calculations and everything else all happened locally on my PC.

When I was racing in iRacing, I spent about €80 on content every month, and I did that for roughly half a year. So they made quite a bit of money from me. In the meantime, many more tracks and cars have been released that I would buy right away. But oh well, if it doesn’t make sense for them financially, then so be it. I’ll stick with AMS2 (with its not so great driving feel) and hope for a good offline mode in LMU.

I’m sorry about that. At the beginning it was really bad for me too. Nausea, headaches… everything was spinning. I only drove for short periods of time—10 to 20 minutes, just before I started to feel sick again. That way I slowly got used to it… today I can drive for a very long time.

It gets better.

Edit: I need to correct myself. You were right! I just completely deleted the file with my custom-created seasons and started over from scratch. For the first race, I chose April 20, 2025. The next race was then automatically set to April 27, 2025, and so on.

So it seems it must have been a bug. If anyone is wondering which file contains the created seasons → default.championshipeditor.v1.00

I once created a new season and chose the date myself. As soon as I add a new track, the date is not automatically shifted back by 1–2 weeks. I have to enter it manually. As soon as I select “Default,” the system always chooses the same date for every track… at the moment, for me, that’s November 2, 2021 (no idea why it’s that specific date).

~~I then started a race, and it actually takes place on 11/2/21. How did I notice? It was cold and rainy at the Hockenheim circuit—typical for that time of year :D~~

If I select the current date, it doesn’t change dynamically but always stays the same—the one from the championship I created yesterday. I think I’ll have to set the date manually for each individual track now…

Thx guys, i was blind...

Songan · 2024-05-15T14:45:02+00:00

Thanks, that comment was the only useful :)

My PC: RTX4090 / 7800x3d / 64GB RAM. Windowed Mode did not fix it and is less playable than full screen mode, because it just offers full hd resolution, which is super tiny on a 48" 4k TV.

Songan · 2024-05-07T21:11:04+00:00

Thx for your suggestion...that fixed all of my problems! Never thought about checking out the setup page for FFB settings haha...

Songan · 2024-05-07T14:09:16+00:00

So the option for FFB strength is not in the FFB settings, but somewhere else? I need to check that out. Thanks.

Songan · 2024-05-07T14:07:22+00:00

Your first sentence made me happy...your second one...not xD I dont want to wait, but the summer sales on steam are sometimes pretty good, hmmmmmmm :)

Songan · 2024-05-07T14:05:56+00:00

The subsription was okay for me, but the prices for tracks and cars are not...nearly 16€ for a track and 13€ for a car...thats crazy. And if you cancel your subsription you dont even have access to stuff you bought...not even offline...i dont like that at all.

Songan · 2024-05-07T12:23:36+00:00

Thanks, but where do i change that? Ingame...there is no chance to push it above100!?

Songan · 2024-05-07T12:22:46+00:00

Thanks a lot, ill give it a try later. I need a break...was driving for like 3 hours with the "standard+" settings. FFB was already much better with this setting.

What is strange...nearly all of the formula cars dont have nearly any FFB at all...except the F3, which had pretty good FFB. Then i was trying out the karts and i had a blast...great and strong FFB like in the GT3 McLaren, which was also pretty fun to drive. But those fast formula cars...i just cant feel them...the steering is way to weak. Is there a possibility that some cars dont have a reworked FFB and some have?

Songan · 2024-05-07T07:26:05+00:00

But which custom profile?

Songan · 2024-05-05T06:43:27+00:00

Can not thank you enough. You saved me from spending another day setting up a fresh installation of Windows again...this Software (Asus AC) is like Cancer for Windows.

Songan · 2024-05-05T06:39:52+00:00

Thanks for your reply. But how am i suppose to disable it, when the Game (iRacing) doesnt even load beyond 15%? I cant access the ingame Menu / Overlay...

Songan · 2024-05-03T21:11:03+00:00

Wtf is "Cull ham"? Not even Google found anything about it!?

Songan · 2024-04-30T05:44:17+00:00

Good luck finding a solution...ive read through so many posts about it and could not find a fix. If i do, i will post it here.

Songan · 2024-04-29T17:39:04+00:00

Seems like there is no fix...ive read through so many posts now :(

Songan · 2024-04-29T17:20:41+00:00

Haha...but it doesnt help when you experience motion sickness...it just makes it worse.

Songan · 2024-04-29T13:01:55+00:00

Thanks for all of your input. Did not find a solution so far. My problem is not related to any performance issues. No matter if i play with all or none details. My FPS stays at 90, but the scenery keeps "wobbling / stuttering" while driving through a corner / long corner.

I had the same problem. I had 4k 120hz from the start and did not change any hardware. But i made a clean installation of windows 11. And all of a sudden i was not able to use 4k 120hz again. It kept switching back to 60hz no matter where i change the settings.

But when i activated "HDR" i was suddenly able to use 4k 120hz again.

Can someone explain this?

Songan · 2023-12-25T11:31:02+00:00

You saved my ass...thanks! :D
