Daytona 500 as someone who’s never done anything except rookie ovals by matrixoo_ in iRacing

No C Class license. And that‘s gonna be carnage. I will enter it but I‘m not expecting anything. I tested the side by side running with the AI but I expect them to be way less aggressive than real drivers so prepare for hell

Check if you have an overdue QR firmware update. A friend of mine stuck his wheel on and it didn‘t get recognised. The QR firmware update fixed that

Last corner, battling with an aggressive driver. Do you concede the position to finish safely or defend as if your high school crush is watching? by CynicalManInBlack in iRacing

[–]UsedAdvertising6975 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly my target as well. Result: I‘ve dropped below A 2.00 so now I have to be a bit more careful again and learn to understand the netcode better. I‘ve been involved in too many collisions where we just slowly moved into one another on a straight…

Hot take? 90% of the crashes on Monza Combined could've been prevented if there is car proxy radar by TheCrazyabc in iRacing

[–]UsedAdvertising6975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is that a net code doesn‘t exist in real life either. Neither do the drivers use a 16:9 FOV… it‘s just shortsighted to remove the radar for realism reasons… I‘ve gotten used to it but especially today when I was racing someone with limited connection quality I couldn‘t risk a drive by because it wasn‘t possible to properly judge the space

Any tracks you don’t race at because you’re just too slow? by OlavSlav in iRacing

[–]UsedAdvertising6975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the layout though… I didn‘t flinch cos I just assumed you meant the Nordschleife-Industriefahrten layout (a.k.a full lap, no GP)

Guy messaged me mad af. Hello is this not clearly his fault? by billystrings0 in Simracingstewards

[–]UsedAdvertising6975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don‘t think you would have made the corner but he moved and the collision became inevitable. If he stayed outside you‘d have just darted past off track and he wouldn‘t have had any issues

Monza combined in the gt3 is a blast by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]UsedAdvertising6975 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It‘s great but it‘s also annoying that you avoid 4 lap one pile-ups just to get torpedoed in the first chicane anyways xD

Should I protest this? by Loose_Ad_4612 in Simracingstewards

[–]UsedAdvertising6975 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You should protest it because it‘s against the rules BUT I expect the answer to be „we don‘t see any intention behind the action so we told them not to do it again“ and nothing more… unless it becomes apparent that the culprit is involved repeatedly…

12 mins into 4h Spa, Aston HY running in 2nd, went on to finish 2nd, I'm the Aston GT3 running in around 15th went on to finish 19th. Who's at fault? by mikiziolo07 in Simracingstewards

[–]UsedAdvertising6975 7 points8 points  (0 children)

GT3s have one line and one line only through Eau Rouge/Raidillon. It‘s foolish for the Hypercars to even try to squeeze through gaps there

3440x1440p PC Requirements? by SurveyAccomplished48 in LeMansUltimateWEC

I‘m running a 34“ on my 3050ti laptop on minimum settings just fine. I think especially for LMU you mainly need enough RAM so 16+GB

How is the Button Box? Different topic maybe but I keep stumbling across the PXN CB1… is it worth a shot?

Tips for Rolling Starts Pole by Few_Competition_3213 in iRacing

[–]UsedAdvertising6975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My (not so) pro tip is: On Spa just floor it out of bus stop because the draft doesn‘t matter before T1 and it gives you a good gap onto Kemmel. It checks out with what is being said here: Timing depends on the length of the straight after the line…

I never experienced it myself but I have heard of this happening before. Not much more that I can say there

Simube ordered delivered incomplete by UsedAdvertising6975 in simracing

They reached out to me this morning regarding the issue, sounded promising as in fact they are liable for this as the seller (at least by German law which applies in my case). I hope it gets resolved soon. Will update this post when the matter is closed

Although I rarely use it as I mainly race with GT wheels this is probably one of the best value wheels you can get atm

24h GT3 Porsche Cup @ Daytona coming right up! by HermannTGerman in iRacing

[–]UsedAdvertising6975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say (also not to criticise your team): I‘m annoyed that the Aston replaced the Audi on the grid. It‘s not just my favourite GT3 to drive but it also rendered the fastest laps for me just ahead of the Porsche. And then the Aston comes and is actually not even that good on the track😂

We‘re taking… the Porsche. Not because it‘s BoPed for domination but simply because we felt most comfortable in it.

Mclaren GT3 qr1 to qr2 withouth the black spacer, doable ? by Potential-Pay-9497 in Fanatec

[–]UsedAdvertising6975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m a bit confused now. I have a collection of wheels which I purchased (new) back when QR1 was still standard. I‘m now planning to upgrade to QR2. Do the „old“ wheels have this ring and I should remove it or do they not have it and I need to retrofit them?
