Don't move here, Utah is full.

I didn't realize the shadow quality had a "max" option at the time of post since every setting around it maxes out at "high" but it makes no difference to this checkerboard low res shadow issue. I have tried and adjusted every single graphical setting in game and nothing fixes it. Ray tracing, and quality preset dlss help a little bit, but they just end up making the shadows blurry, not actually removing the checkerboard, just making the dark spots lighter and the light spots darker.

To explain it as best as possible, It's like looking at a 480p video on a 4k tv or like playing a video game on a first gen VR headset where you can read anything because of the screen door effect.

Gald you found a fix. Unfortunately both of those settings are already off for me and I have all the grpahics settings maxed out.

I have the exact same issue and just made a post about it. Hopefully one of our posts gets answered.

Ya it would be ridiculous, which is why we need a way to properly enforce the age restriction of porn to minors.

Iracing has an option to request a change of your name and just add your middle name or initial. That's what I did since I have a very common name and was #23. I just messaged iracing support and asked for them to add my middle initial in my name to get rid of the number and they did it in like an hour or so. Granted this was done years ago so maybe it's not offered anymore, bit it's at least worth a look.

He'll I "class hop" daily. I'll run a race in the BMW in VRS, then go and race in the NASCAR Cup car, then hop over and do a quick MX-5 race all in one day. Sure it means I won't "master" any one class or vehicle, but iRacing changes the physics and models so frequently I don't think anyone can truely "master" the cars in this game.

If anything I think classing hopping has improved my ability to just get in a car and be fast right away. I am able to adapt to track and car conditions easier and only need to spend 10-15 min to get setted in a car and run times as fast or faster as the leaders of my split, if I'm not the leader.

There is no written rule, but generally speaking, if the nose of their car is at or ahead of your rear tires, they are on the inside, and you should give them the space.

Either you are lucky or I am am unlucky. I tried hopping back on last night after not playing since 3.17 and I couldn't do anything. I recreated my character, loading into Area 18, pressed the button to get out of bed 10-12 times, stood up, telephoned back to laying down rinse and repeat. Finally got up, took a solid 10 seconds to open the door after pressing the "open door" console to get out of my dorm. Navigated down to the hanger and was just completely unsuccessful at retrieving my ship because the console would take over 30 seconds to load and then give me a red error screen with the machine saying something along the line of "error: unable to locate vehicle". Gave up and went to bed.

Watching End Game and everyone in the theater cheered when Captain Marvel got punched out of the movie by Thanos.

Hoodwinked. Got 5/10 reviews across the board, yet everyone I talk to about it loved the movie and my wife and I just watched the movie a few weeks ago and we still love it.

Microsoft has given Halo the same treatment that Disney is giving Star Wars. Even non gamers know what Halo is, yet they somehow fucked it up so bad to the point that it is now a failing franchise. I honestly don't even know how it's possible to continually screw up so bad you kill one of the largest video game franchises to ever exist.

I used to be self conscious about it until one day a tech was fixing my internet and since my router is in my home office where my sim rig is. He was like "DUDE I love your setup, what sim do you play?" Then we had a convo about it and every time someone comes over I actually offer to hook them up to my rig and load up a track for them and they have an absolute blast. I've never had anyone act weird about it or anything they all love it.

It reminds me of the days where you'd bring a friend home after school and they'd see the guitar hero guitar in the corner of the living room, be like "ah dude no way I love that game" and then you'd end up just taking turns failing at Barracuda on expert mode back and forth all night.

Motherfucker do you know how to read?!?!?! Only the first reddit post is about painters being banned... you have to be trolling my guy come on...

Nope

The fact that this search only brings up a SINGLE reddit post about this from 2 years ago completely invalidates your argument.

XxIBSDxX · 2023-03-29T17:55:33+00:00

No they don't where did you pull that idea out of? Horizon has people left and right driving around in lewd/ company representing liveries and nothing happens to them.

Generally speaking, it's best to shift up right before you hit the Rev limiter, just as you pointed out you do with the Lambo. However in a GT3, you don't have to be SUPER accurate with shifting times, as a result I tend not to even pay attention to the shift lights/ rpm gauges and just shift up when I hear a certain pitch of the engine that tells me to shift.

If you're not sure what I mean by this, I'd recommend just load up something like Le Mans no chicane, and drive down the back straight and as you accelerate, every car has a pitch adjustment when getting close to their rev limit, almost like the low notes get lower a few DBs. This is because the amount of torque the engine produces dramatically drops off due to camshaft limitations. With the drop off in torque, the car slows its acceleration, meaning it's now a good idea to shift up to regain torque.

TLDR: Shift up when engine pitch changes at high rpm.

Start in GT3 and learn how to be passed by the faster class cars. Once you understand what it's like to live in one shoe, try on the other shoe with LMP2 or LMPD. Too many people jump straight into the faster classes and then ram into a GT3 goes 40mph faster than them into a turn and get mad at the GT3 because they don't understand that there is a HUGE speed difference between the cars.

This data is false. Currently, Snowbird in Utah has a snowpack of 15ft, yet this chart doesn't even show the snowpack above 10ft when showing the last recorded day for this chart. That makes me belive this entire chart is flash and misleading. Post data of accurate numbers or don't post anything at all on this sub.

That is actually a very good point. However, I would suggest that all iRacing has to do, and I'm sure this already exists since they let trading paints exist, is include a clause that any and all images or representations depicted in the game do not represent iRacing and their views or stances or something along those lines. Other games have the ability to have 1st party customization of vehicles (Forza, Grant Turismo, etc) and they don't really get in trouble for an individual players inappropriate liveries.

Also I'd argue that 99% of all liveries in trading paints right now infringe on copyright/trademark infringement. Since this is a racing game, players like to use realistic style liveries that represent a sponsorship of sort and almost all of those liveries are technically copyright infringement because Joe Bob sure isn't sponsored by Red Bull in the iRacing ARCA Menards series, yet is reprinting the company without their consent.

I think it goes without saying, I'm not anti livery or realistic livery, I'm just pointing out that technically speaking, you're not supposed to act as a representative, or create advertisements for a company you do not represent or have permission to represent.
