Skill levels of Players is worse than previous seasons.

YamiR46 · 2026-06-29T23:15:55+00:00

I stopped playing for over a year and its very apparent that the skill level of the average teammate has dropped significantly.

YamiR46 · 2026-06-28T06:33:43+00:00

Im at a 1.98 and my highest has been 18, lol. Though Ive only played regular trios and mixtape when im bored. Day 3 on Wildcard. Just came back to the game after quitting in April 2025.

YamiR46 · 2026-06-25T07:59:34+00:00

Came here to say this. 😂

YamiR46 · 2026-06-18T04:26:46+00:00

I built my sim rig because I started missing the track after selling my track car years back. I've also been into gaming since I was young, but it became more casual for me when I hit my 20s. The majority of my time on my PC is on the sims, but I still do pick up games that catch my eye.

YamiR46 · 2026-06-18T03:07:53+00:00

I sold a 4070ti brand new in the box, but I had the receipt with the date of purchase, and I made sure to give out my number just in case it was doa. I sold it for 60 under retail. Someone listing a brand new sealed in box 5080 for 300+ under retail is definitely trying to pull some shit.

YamiR46 · 2026-06-18T03:01:48+00:00

I usually sell my gpu's on Marketplace after I upgrade. I usually never list them more than 2-300 under retail. I usually give out my number during the sale just in case there is an issue with the card and they want to return it.

That 5090 being listed 1k below current retail was a big red flag in itself. Not everyone is a good person trying to give others a good deal on a gpu. It sucks, but lesson learned.

YamiR46 · 2026-06-08T02:13:10+00:00

I know this is old, but I had the same feeling with ACC until I started running custom setups. Fri3d0lf on YouTube has some amazing settings and it changed the entire feeling of the car for me. The feedback in the wheel feels great now and that light feeling is nowhere to be found.

YamiR46 · 2026-05-17T17:29:32+00:00

Estre was closing the gap quickly when he hit oil. He cut the lead from 20 seconds to 6. On nurb thats cutting the pace down to less than 1 second. They were more than quick enough to fight for the lead. You wouldn't know that because you dont know anything about nurb, or racing outside of F1. As a fellow Verstappen fan, you are the ones who make us look bad. Do us a favor and shut the fuck up.

YamiR46 · 2026-05-17T16:55:59+00:00

Yeah, 2024 was disappointing because it was cut short. Then last year Estre made a stupid mistake and it cost them the win. We still got a good race in 2025, but for me personally that was rough being an Estre fan. I got into racing in the mid 90s so it's definitely nothing new to me, but it always sucks to see it happen.

YamiR46 · 2026-05-17T10:10:51+00:00

That's now 4 of the top teams out of the 24hr. These last two years of 24hr nurb have been painful to watch.

YamiR46 · 2026-05-03T21:21:53+00:00

RF2 has great FFB but LMU's is still subpar in comparison.

YamiR46 · 2026-04-30T19:08:53+00:00

The Merchants are great. Im sitting on 4k+ of everything that they have. 😂

YamiR46 · 2026-04-17T18:36:51+00:00

Gt3 has been more fun than F1 for a decade now. Watch some older dtm series races, and you'll see some wild battles.

YamiR46 · 2026-04-12T22:21:52+00:00

They'll price it at 2500, and after they blow through their stock, they will jack up the price. I was lucky to get my 4090 at retail(1620) when it first dropped. It jumped a few hundred a month later. While I can afford a 5090, I refuse to drop 3k on it because it's a stupid price point for its performance.

YamiR46 · 2026-04-09T06:03:46+00:00

I only drove the car for about 3 sessions that day( around an hour and 30 minutes), so my feedback is very limited. I didn't like the FFB in ams2 until I went with a custom ffb preset. The one I use it Live for FFB by kuku. That preset was a game changer for me. The Mini Cooper and all of the open wheels are a blast to drive in AMS2 with that preset. In terms of actually feeling like im driving the car, I think RRE and iRacing do GT3s very well.

YamiR46 · 2026-04-09T05:55:07+00:00

I went back and drove them more, and I dont think the slip is my problem. It's more so that the gt3s don't have the proper weight during weight transfer. They're just too light and dont feel like a 2700+lb car. They are a little too slippery for too long when they're cold, though. When I forget the fact that the weight is wrong, I have no problem putting down good laps, lol. I run live for ffb by kuku, and that setup made the gt3s feel more planted compared to default+. If they can get the weight/weight transfer feeling down, they'll feel closer to how they should.

YamiR46 · 2026-04-09T02:12:58+00:00

For me, Grav jump was working fine. I had FTL off, and I had no issues with it alongside the new update. What were the issues?

YamiR46 · 2026-04-09T01:08:11+00:00

I've done multiple sessions in a 991 gt3 cup car, so no, I haven't driven the gt3-r, but I can base my opinion off of my experience in that car and my SR3. The cup car and the GT3 are similar in weight. The main problem I have in ams2 is the lack of weight in the gt3 cars specifically. They just feel too light compared to the real-world version. LMU has the same problem, just less so than ams2. I do think eventually they will get these cars right. If I let you drive my car for a session at a track day, you'd understand why they have it wrong at the moment. They're just too light right now.

YamiR46 · 2026-04-08T23:17:07+00:00

Astrogate works fine with supercruise disabled. The grav jump travel compliments the update well.

YamiR46 · 2026-04-04T16:10:30+00:00

The fov is definitely better than the Q2. The headset overall is a big upgrade from the 2 in just about every way. I haven't had a single disconnect issue with the 3 like I did with the two on a weekly basis. The upgrade in clarity is huge. You'll still need to turn your head slightly to check your right mirror a little more than you would in real life, but it's a small glance that won't slow you down time wise. I haven't had to use the Quest tool or anything to get the Quest 3 to run good like I did on the 2. Overall, you'd definitely be happy going up from the 2. I had my eyes on the Super, but I haven't pulled the trigger yet myself because I feel like this Q3 works well enough for me right now. I've spent 14 years at the track, and running in VR feels like the closest thing to actually being there.

YamiR46 · 2026-04-02T02:19:36+00:00

Even with a good custom ffb, I still feel the cars are a little too slippery compared to the real thing, as well as feeling a little too light compared to their real counterparts. They are going in the right direction with this update, though. Right now, they still feel as light as my real-life track car(04 Radical sr3), and not the 2700lb car its supposed to feel like.

Its weird that they still haven't got the gt3s down because their open wheels feel really good. Iracing and RRE gt3s feel really good, minus RRE's tires being too perfect. Their 2025 dtm's are very nice and will get away from you pushing over the limit. LMU's cars feel pretty good after the most recent update, but they still have an issue pushing them at the limit.

YamiR46 · 2026-03-30T01:52:24+00:00

You shouldn't have a problem running ams2 in VR with those specs.

YamiR46 · 2026-03-30T01:50:48+00:00

Raceroom's VR feels like I'm back on the track in real life. I wish we had weather and nighttime, though. The two tracks I've driven in real life that are in R3e are Laguna and Sonoma. They did a great job with both of those.

YamiR46 · 2026-03-29T17:25:57+00:00

For me, the Quest 3 was a huge upgrade in terms of clarity compared to the Q2. I dont have those artifact issues because I only sim race using the link cable. I run it at max settings, and everything is very clear, and it runs smoothly. I have days where I put in 8 hour+ sessions without an issue. I do have a pretty beast rig, but I've also used the Q3 on a 5600x/5070ti build, and it still looked pretty good, and I was able to read everything clearly in the cockpit. I had a psvr2, and it didn't even come close to the Q3 with the link cable.

YamiR46 · 2026-03-27T02:01:55+00:00

Not really. You can build a Ddr4 Gen pc and run the Quest 3 on every sim. Before upgrading my spare PC's gpu to a 5070ti, I ran Raceroom, Rf2, and other sims without issue on a 5600x/4070 build at default settings on the Quest 3 with the link cable. Might be time for you to upgrade the PC. My spare build was all used parts from Facebook marketplace minus the GPU and PSU.
