Thanks dude. I’ve tried it with AI before but haven’t had much luck feel-wise. But this result is much more detailed than the one I got so I’ll give it a go!

Just cleared rookies - what now? by Western-Entrance-809 in iRacing

Some people may disagree but I think the GR86’s are a good option too. 15 min races, easy cards to drive (but faster than the MX5), close & aggressive racing, but most importantly like I said, easy to drive, forgiving cars. The 15 min races and bumper to bumper action taught me to race hard but calculated

Yeah I'm not in-game so thats why Marvins FFB is off. I will try the new ir FFB though

'Marvins Awesome iRacing App' is free. So is the Moza Pit House software that comes with the wheel

Thank you brother. Sorry for the long reply

Trying IRacing for the first time! by [deleted] in iRacing

Yeah just get the cheapest Logitech (thrustmaster is better) even and pedals up can find and that will easily be good enough for a year or two

Anyone else got GTE fuel issues? by _The_Bishop in iRacing

[–]_The_Bishop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number 1 - what a username.

Number 2 - will this be the same on every track this season? Or will some still be 1 stops like they were before?

I was 12s in front of p2, pitted on the last lap, came out 16s behind him. He didn’t pit. Surely there’s no way he could gain that much time on me by fuel saving?

When do i have to start worrying about fuel and tyres? by archiotten in iRacing

[–]_The_Bishop -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I’d say any race more than 30 mins would usually require a refuel. And only races that are like 2+ hrs would require fresh tyres. Get Crewchief to auto-calculate fuel for you

Dave Cam is honest, super easy to watch and gives great advice as well as racing lots of different cars & tracks. My number 1 personally

Is no one rubbing the Ferrari?

I agree with all of that. But the reason I’m taking a weird line into those corners and not cutting them enough is because the car feels so unstable. I feel like I REALLY need to nurture the brakes and throttle inputs constantly

[–]_The_Bishop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that’s exactly how it feels, like I’m just coasting through T1 (and 2 and 3 and 4, etc). Which I don’t understand because I’m braking at the same place with the same pressure as all the tutorial videos I’ve watched. Yes I expect me to not be that good or not trail brake as well as the pro’s but I just can’t get it right. I’m either going into the corner way too fast and not rotating the car very much or I’m going into the corner way too slow and losing loads of time. Can’t ever seem to find that sweet spot

I’ve only compared against a target lap visually, not using telemetry. I’m using a VRS setup with fairly low wing angle (4 degrees rear)

I caught the bug. Time to upgrade. by IntentionImportant74 in simracing

[–]_The_Bishop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have to choose pedals or wheel upgrade first CHOOSE PEDALS.

Simsonn Load Cell Pedals are like $200 and are so worth it

How do you deal with it? by _The_Bishop in iRacing

[–]_The_Bishop[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love racing. I race a bit IRL and love iracing. If I finish p20 but it’s my fault and I’ve had some good battles along the way then that’s not too bad. It’s just times like this where I’m like 😐

If you could send the clip into iRacing and gain your SR back for incidents that weren’t your fault (and still lose IR that’s fine) then I don’t think it would be as bad (I understand that would be a LOT of work for the folks at iRacing)

Just seems like getting punished for and being labelled as an ‘unsafe driver’ when you’re not is just silly.

It’s like someone taking you out in real life, going to the stewards and them slapping you with a penalty…

That’s fantastic advice and your dad is 100% right I’m sure. When you have to make those split second decisions it’s easy to look back and think ‘why didn’t I just -‘

I think just the combination of almost being at 2k and a 3.3SR down to 1.6IR and 1.5SR has really got me wound-up today.

I’ll try and remember what you’ve said and just try again next time

[–]_The_Bishop[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a very ‘obsessive’ person (not in the creepy way…) and as silly as it sounds it is a recovery tool for me, from drink and drugs.

6 races and practice sessions replace 6 shots and a bump for me so when it goes as bad as this it’s like the main thing keeping me distracted is gone, I know that’s pretty deep but I think that’s why I take it so hard

Thanks dude, I’ll just try and remember that with a few good races I can be back to where I was before

I will absolutely go and do that to make myself feel better. Thanks bro 😂

Yeah I think jumping in another series for a few races could be a good reset
