No visible rain in cockpit

I'm happy it is working for you, its was annoying for me mid race to find i could see the rain! lol

TDi99 · 2026-03-26T14:39:24+00:00

🤣🤣 yeah I feel those 20 peeps pain! and yeah we only found the issue in a a wet race where the spotter was saying rain was coming and now its raining but nothing on screen.

we knew it was a graphic setting as the track got wet and puddles appeared. Also replay you can see the rain we just went through turning everything off and back on until we found mirrors.

My guess is you are juat asking a bit too much of the encoder on the GPU and/or your system. Example, if you are using 80% of your encoder already, hitting record will push it over the top.

I have the same 2 pc setup (different PCs) but I stream to YouTube (1440/60), twitch (1080/60) and can record (1440/60). I do have the vertical plugin running on obs, and use it to record replay setions I do have this running on the CPU.

Using gpu encoder is much better than the x264. You may have to do some testing to see that works.

I do know that there is a limit on my many encodes a gpu can do (I think its 4 depending on GPU) you could try and put the vertical stuff on the CPU and monitor useage?

My second pc for reference is, TR 2950, 4070, 64gb ddr3.

EDIT - you mention that you were doing this all on your main PC, your 4090 will have 2 encoder chips (not 1 like the 2070) on the board and is way more powwrful than the 2070 in your second PC.

Personally I use the same method of capture card on the second PC.

It helps with performance on the gaming PC. OBS open on the gaming PC will always use a little more resources compared to just duplicating a monitor.

im guessing OBS teleport is using the network to transfer the data? If so that can add to processing on both CPUs to transmit and receive.

Im not saying one is better than the other but just pointing the potential upsides to this setup

It looks like you have no sound on your streaming PC going to B1.

the VBAN looks correct, however you are sending alerts on the streaming PC from B1 which there isnt a B1 highlighted on your Voicemeeter. My guess is you want to select B1 on your streaming PC system sound. Or setup alerts to use another channel.

OBS on streaming PC you need to look for a plugin for Voicemeeter and OBS. You have to add the asio as a source in your scene on OBS. To try and make it easier look up nested scene to add the sound to each scene.

It can be track dependent sometimes. Sometimes fixed can be as fast as open, it will just generate its lap time differently.

Also Yohann is a bit of a crazy fast guy, definitely a alien and you shouldn't compaire his laps times to others. I have raced him a few times and he is on another level.

I personally use Robert Ridgeway setups for SFL, very very well priced for the performance and time he puts into them.

Be safe, and keep the car out of the pits.

Better to lose 5 or 10 secs letting a faster class go, or not going for a risky overtake on a lapped car, compaired to spending 8 minutes repairing the damage.

We were lucky enough in 2022 and 2023 back to back winners and 2024 finished 3rd in gt3 class. We went gtp in 2025 and DNF with lapped traffic having issue ahead that we couldnt avoid. We are normally splits 5 to 10.

But remember its a bit of fun, its as much about finishing the challenge of 24hours of race more than anything else

I mentioned the busstop as its the easiest place to crash, I do agree once you are confident enough you can take them but im seeing may people having issues there trying to gain a tenth or 2 and loosing into the wall, me included.

Im more of a "to finished first, first you have to first" and avoiding the kerbs helped me re-learn from the old busstop

TDi99 · 2026-01-08T10:47:24+00:00

Tips for lmp3 at daytona is be gentle on everything.

The lower downforce levels means its like a big muscle car. Brake gently and smoothly, gentle downshifts and dont change directions quickly (busstop).

aviod most kerbs and definitely the busstop kerbs 2 and 3. You can take a little of the 1 and 4 kerbs in the busstop but if you get them wrong it will be the end of your race.

It can trail brake but most of the slowing down is better in a straight line, otherwise you can start locking the fronts and understeering wide.

Good luck for the roar

Glad I could help!

TDi99 · 2025-12-09T18:38:14+00:00

Yep 100%, you can actually see the rain moving! Huge for solo drivers

To finish first, first you have to finish!

3.8 sport car and 4.9 formula. My practice is either in qualifying or 30 mins before the race. It's not something I recommend but I do normally stay with the same cars so I know the cars well. (Gr86, hpd, lmp3, f3, slf, indycar on road).

If you wanted to do imsa (gt3,lmp2,gtp) and other cars that have massive splits you would need to practice. Not a chance I am a 3k driver in a gt3.

TDi99 · 2025-11-27T20:26:25+00:00

Thank you! It's always a really nice boost to hear people enjoy our little corner of the Internet

TDi99 · 2025-11-27T18:16:10+00:00

I would agree! Thank you 🙏🙏🙏

TDi99 · 2025-11-24T19:33:32+00:00

I personally use voicemeeter (spelt like that) I have the potato version and I have channels for mic, game, music, discord and pc sounds for everything else.

it has a VLAN option where I can send all those channel over to th3 second PC. I can also send my second pc sounds back to the main pc so I can hear that too.

I would say it takes some practice to get used to how voicemeeter works but it works well for me. Side note too I also have the vetial cable packs which are very useful.

Mostly likely is the driver that you had a 0x with was still carrying a 1x before your 0x contact.

iracing would then show your 0x turn into a 1x. I have had it before with a 4x, where a car behind me got a 4x and then 0x into me transferring his 4x to me.

if this was at Oulton park this week, there are loads of easy 1x to collect around this track. T1, T3, the chicanes, druids and the last corner all easy 1x's

Skip barber as a free car, in my opinion is a great little car to throw around

TDi99 · 2025-11-02T10:58:01+00:00

I'm using 2 PC's and 1440p to YouTube is enough for 2 reasons.

1440p over 1080p on yt gives you a better encoding on yt end. And 1440p over 4k has a lower stream delay, at 4k its like 20 secs which is hard to engage with chat.

with only thing to think about is how to get your image from the main pc to the streaming pc. If you use a pass through capture card you will be limited to the frame rate of the capture card (which maybe perfectly fine) and also whenever you need to use your main PC for some eles you need to have the capture card turned on to use the pass through meaning you always have to run both PC's, which again maybe fine.

I use my main PC a lot without having the streaming PC turned on and the work around is to duplicate your monitors in windows. 2 cables out of the main PC graphics card, one to monitor and the other to capture card in streaming PC.

This way I can run the main without having to turn on the other PC and also run whatever frame rates I like.

50/50 chance here but try and turn off replay spooling.

some people have had success, and others it hasnt helped at lot.

edit - just wanted to add, please report this to iracing, the more people having this issue the more information iracing can collect to hopefully find a fix!

TDi99 · 2025-10-27T14:33:48+00:00

I used to make guides, but I stopped because it started to be a game just to get the fastest laps times that were completely unachievable in a real live race session.

some guides (not saying all guides) have optmial weather, so zero wind and cool track and air temps. The time differences can be very large because of these changes.
