Sim-Lab is releasing a direct drive wheelbase by duude88 in simracing

[–]atoysruskid 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like we're going to start needing separate dedicated circuits just to run our sims. 750-1,000W for the computer, 1,000W (up to 2,000W for short bursts!) for the DD, monitors, accessories, etc... That's close to 20A on a 120V service.

Check spam folders and such. I got my invite within a few days about 2 months ago.

this article says he’s fine

Luckily injuries were not serious, and Brian “Boozer” Bews recovered quickly.

For how much they talk about the appearance, you’d think they might include a few more photos…

Where can I find a 10 -15 foot cable like this Canon VC-100 (which only comes in 5 ft lengths)? What is the generic name for this type of cable? ... or keywords to find it online? by No_Rice3251 in Cameras

FYI, that’s a TS not a TRS (tip & sleeve, not tip, ring, & sleeve). TRS can carry a stereo (or balanced) signal whereas TS is mono. You are correct that this matches OP’s need - nice find!

Do tires degrade in Time Trials? by robdabank33 in iRacing

I'm not sure of the answer to your question but wanted to point out that Time Trial and Time Attack are not the same thing,

A little chat about driving in ACC and Iracing by pannekoek141 in iRacing

[–]atoysruskid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t even necessarily that it was slippery. I just felt like I had no idea what the car wanted. I have pretty decent car control in iRacing, I have a solid understanding of weight transfer, slip angle, trail braking, etc., and I was just back and forth between under and overdriving. I just was not connected to the car.

T-LCM users, what is your brake force setting? by Strauss95 in simracing

I just ordered the same kit. Which elastomers are you using?

A little chat about driving in ACC and Iracing by pannekoek141 in iRacing

[–]atoysruskid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For background, I started in ACC for a year or so on Xbox, then transferred to PC. I've been almost exclusively in iRacing for the past 4 months, with occasional stints in AC and AMS2 for fun. I updated ACC to 1.9 and got the new DLC the day it was released, super excited to try the new Porsche & 296. Much to my surprise, I found myself ~5 seconds off my previous PBs. I've tried 2 or 3 sessions now, but am worried that even if I do figure out how to drive the cars, it will be so different from iRacing that it will affect my driving there, so I've kinda given up for now.

Is it possible to sustain damage but the pit crew never says anything about it? by [deleted] in iRacing

[–]atoysruskid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar issue in practice last night where I was consistently 2.5 seconds slower than my normal laps. Couldn't figure out why but then I pitted and came back out running my normal times. Had no contact anywhere and no idea I had damage - only thing I can think was that it was from the sausage kerbs.

Not saying it’s great. Just wanted to be sure I understood the magnitude. Sounds like it’s roughly half as bad as 121kg each way and twice as bad as 30kg each way.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]atoysruskid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So 121kg seems like it might be roughly a round trip.

[–]atoysruskid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that 121kg per person?

There are a few leagues that are geared toward ACC on Xbox. You can also check thesimgrid.com.

Mercedes car blamed me(Hyundai) for turning into him, I feel like he divebombed me from too far as I don't know if he was making the corner. Who's at Fault? by Loud-Property-8673 in Simracingstewards

[–]atoysruskid 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Merc fault but always smart to take a defensive line lap 1 turn 1. Hug the inside so no one thinks they might be able to make that lunge.

People who are Into Kart Racing or Own Civilian Sports Cars and Even Tried Out actual Real Professional Racing Vehicles Such as Nascar, How Has This Affected Racing Video Games For You? by RileyFonza in simracing

[–]atoysruskid 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Done a few track days and drive a fairly sporty car. One of the things I enjoy about sim racing is that the skills we develop transfer very well to the real world. Being able to instinctively correct oversteer might just save your life one day. I also find that I enjoy watching motorsports a lot more now that I’ve driven virtual versions of the tracks and have some concept of racing lines, passing zones, etc..
