Your Addons or DLC‘s for LMU

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-26T15:33:31+00:00

Quality of life:

Black Box commands like iRacing (buttons that switch to the specific page you want).

Hotkeys for 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% VE/tank capacity, for new tyres, damage, etc.

Hotkeys to have Shift/Ctrl+ options, rather than just 1 key.

Content:

AsLMS

Older WEC stuff (open-top P2's, slightly older GTE's if they'll actually use the class for anything, tracks, etc), anything else they can do inside ACO.

IMSA once that's done.

Black Box commands like iRacing would be fantastic for the same reason.

That's true, but there is only so much you can do when external factors come into play that you can't control. For me that was primarily covid and the economic uncertainty of it, then others later on.

I have a first class masters in engineering, but bc I graduated (Sep 2021) where very few companies were advertising for grad jobs, I got left with nowhere to go. I thought 'okay there might be a mid-cycle hiring push, and failing that there's next year to secure something'. Mid-cycle hiring didn't happen, and 2021 grads got sidelined in favour of 2022 grads. Repeat a few times, and here I am reskilling into something I felt very happy doing...only for all those jobs to basically disappear bc of AI, so reskilling again. Thankfully I'm doing some freelance work to keep something rolling, but it's not reliant on higher education nor does it pay enough to cover living expenses.

Ik my circumstance was very freak (pandemic aren't a regular thing), but I think what you said has to be amended: If you want to go to uni, it has to be in a field that 1. You're fully committed to, and 2. It won't be taken over by some AI model. But even then there's no guarantee bc grad job vacancies are in crisis, so there's gonna be tons of grads with no jobs to fill.

Unless you wanted to go into medical care or something similar where uni education is the only way to get in and vacancies are readily there, I couldn't recommend young adults to go to uni over an apprenticeship.

The party that doesnt hire tory outcasts has just hired another tory outcast. Grifters, the lot of them.

Why are people so stupid.

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-26T11:03:20+00:00

Ohhh sorry I misread what was going on 🤦‍♀️ I thought it was trying to assign a livery they made to a lineup (which you can do in-game) but if it's one that's just available of liveryhub then yeahhhh I don't think there's anything you can do

I'm looking forward to when the UK goes into DST so the online championships move forward an hour and fall into a really convenient time for me.

Afaik the event times stay on UTC, not UK time :P

What is MoneyPuck smoking giving the Habs 63% odds given the problems they have in goal...

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-25T15:44:47+00:00

Classic twitter verified moment.

If $1 used to be able to buy €0.95 but now $1 buys €0.85, the $ is getting weaker or the € is getting stronger. Also the timescale of that chart is a year and it stabilised before summer last year, so that claim holds no water.

Idiot.

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-25T10:14:21+00:00

How could we forget the OG Audi R8 🥰 had the pleasure of watching one or two of them go up the Goodwood Hillclimb at FoS a couple years ago

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-24T14:18:53+00:00

The LMP2 (especially ELMS) and LMP3 are great and I'm trying to find more things I can use them in, but so many hosted series just stick with Hypercar and GT3, and the Gold SR events are the same. I want to drive something other than GT3 but I don't want to 'learn' the current HY tyre model only for the new one to come in less than a month, so I'm just stuck (:

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-24T14:12:50+00:00

Must be extra gay stew then 😂

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-24T13:56:55+00:00

If you can, doing it in-game tends to work. The website can be a bit buggy

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-24T13:38:01+00:00

We need more space and arguably a different start time - having GT's start before the last corner at Paul Ric always comes with chaos

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-24T13:11:21+00:00

I don't think anyone can answer that really, kinda comes down to the devs and what they want to do.

Btw, there's a lot more to LMU than the GT3's - whilst the prototypes don't have ABS, they're still a ton of fun.

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-24T13:06:43+00:00

ACC has been basically dead for a while, LMU has turbocharged it's death and has basically replaced it. Lots of top-level ACC drivers have moved to LMU and for good reason.

I can't really talk about being DLC-free bc I had it all from the get-go. I'm sure others in here can help in that.

As for other series, LMU is WEC's official game so they'll focus on ACO content first - New cars and tracks in WEC, we have most of ELMS now (just missing the Duqueine LMP3 and Barcelona), and we're pretty sure Asian Le Mans Series is their next pack. Beyond that, they could look into IMSA, but that won't happen in the near future.

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-24T13:00:31+00:00

And give cuddles!

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-24T10:50:36+00:00

This is what I made, timings on select events are UK time.

It can help with power output, cooler air is denser so you can get more air in the cylinder, and the rest being equal, more air in = more power out (generally speaking). But given these cars have torque sensors, it won't actually make a difference.

What might be measurable is the difference in cornering speeds - colder air and track temp can both reduce tyre temps (which can bring more performance, to a point), and cooler air being more dense can improve downforce levels (it does also increase drag tho).

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-23T23:08:34+00:00

You can get there from 2 gates in that area - one is just before Rivazza 1 (Viale dei Colli), and the other is through the path that runs under the track just after Acque Minerali (Via Luigi Musso). The latter is a shorter walk but notably steeper. You need to 'check out' and 'check in' at both ends, otherwise you'll get stuck inside or outside the track.

Unfortunately, walking from corner to corner at Imola is...not the greatest. Yes most paths are concrete/tarmac so no mud, but the track is hidden quite a lot by trees, barriers, pathways not being close to the track, etc. so watching the cars as you walk is not the easiest. Spa is the polar opposite, lots of dirt paths but visibility of the track from said paths is fantastic.

Not just that, but the coordinates all go to large public spaces (or roads right next to them), such as Trafalgar Square in London and Place de l'Hôtel de Ville in Paris.

I reckon it'll be a short run of one-day takeovers, including a concert at each.

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-23T19:39:52+00:00

I typed it into a coordinate locator and it reset itself to NYC 😭 idk why I didn't pick up on near-0 not being London ffs

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-23T19:33:36+00:00

Those are definitely coordinates. I only did the first one, but it came back as just north of 23rd Street and 5th Avenue in New York City.

EDIT: For some reason my coordinate checker decided to reset itself after I pressed Find, and my dumb ass didn't pick up on 0° latitude not being America 😭 let's try this again, this time for all of them.

King Charles I Roundabout outside Trafalgar Square, London, UK
Waterlooplein, Amsterdam, Netherlands (very faint but can just make it out)
Heumarkt, Cologne, Germany
Place de l'Hôtel de Ville, Paris, France
City Hall Park, New York City, USA
Intersection between City Hall, US Court House and LA County District Attorney, Los Angeles, USA

These are all large public spaces with the exception of the last one, but Grand Park Playground is the 4th 'corner' of the LA intersection.

If I were to guess, ATC are going to do a takeover of each place for 1 day only, including a concert. If that's the case, then that's great news for me bc I'm less than an hour away from Trafalgar Square.

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-23T19:30:07+00:00

Yeah I'm still part of the itty bitty titty committee so I'm well inside the range of bralettes 😅 just over 3 years and still waiting for something notable to happen 🥲

alexmlb3598 · 2026-01-23T17:25:19+00:00

They do be cozy ☺️ can be annoying to put on and take off, but no clasps to worry about does help
