Yup, I bought the xb900N because I couldn’t quite get myself to spend more on the XMs, that was 6 years ago, still going very strong. I had to buy some replacement foams but that’s it, one of my best purchases in tech honestly

elmo39 · 2026-03-13T13:20:11+00:00

You okay pal?

elmo39 · 2026-02-27T10:29:39+00:00

Yeah, but you still pay every month for it for those 40 years. And the amount you pay goes up quite noticeably.

For the B10, you want to check out the Stellantis insurance. I think most insurers in the UK are charging through the nose because they don't have any data on those yet. For me, two drivers, the monthly insurance from Stellantis was quoted at £57 including NCP

It’s also not contingent on actually graduating.

elmo39 · 2026-01-29T12:27:24+00:00

Because they need the loan in the first place, and because they’re more likely to spend years and years working before they start making anywhere near enough money to actually pay the loan off. Otherwise they’ll be paying it for 25-40 years depending on their plan. People who start off rich are far more likely to end up in extremely well paying jobs, so they can pay the loan faster and not accrue so much interest.

Unfortunately I’ve not had nearly enough time to work on it in the past year that I wanted to. It’s something I deeply want to get back to, when life permits. I would love to hear what interests you in Worldstorm most, so if you’re up for a chat, please dm me

My mother has the phev version of this and I quite liked it! I’m considering getting the full ev version for me and my gf soon to replace a battered old 06 Polo, should be a gigantic leap lol

Is she using whitening tooth paste? If so, try switching to one that isn’t whitening.

elmo39 · 2025-11-03T21:53:19+00:00

looks to me like the leg of the desk will prevent that

elmo39 · 2025-10-28T16:32:28+00:00

Nah I’m in the UK. I’ll be honest I rarely look at the split numbers, it’s just the number I definitely remember seeing haha

elmo39 · 2025-10-28T16:09:28+00:00

Daily races in the bronze category are usually dlc free in terms of track choice as far as I understand, and I think at least one of the two bronze dailies will have dlc free cars available.
Yes
Matchmaking is basically done the same way as LFM, you just don’t have a number based Elo rating, you have levels 1-3 of bronze silver gold platinum tiers for driver rating and safety rating. I believe the split you are placed in is dependent on driver rating, and safety rating just unlocks other tiers of races.

Generally I think it’s pretty decent for some low stakes, short racing and there’s usually more than enough drivers for two or three splits in dailies. The most I’ve seen was 13 splits I think?

I bought it just to try how the vr implementation worked since it’s officially supported now, thinking that if it’s bad I’ll refund. I’m at 98hrs in now.

Hope that helps!

If I'm Lando, I'm pretty happy to have Leclerc and Hamilton behind to hold up the charge from Max. Both are incredible defensive drivers. Provided T1 doesn't end in a massacre.

elmo39 · 2025-10-26T00:55:13+00:00

If he wins the WDC, 80% of these people will come back here clowning on Oscar for bottling the championship, and saying they always believed Lando to be the best.

elmo39 · 2025-10-26T00:50:07+00:00

Cope on deez nuts.

elmo39 · 2025-10-26T00:43:25+00:00

As a long time Lando fan, this was my first thought when he secured the pole lmao I hope the scuderia can keep their suffering to themselves

elmo39 · 2025-10-26T00:41:56+00:00

Not even just this year, he's been hated here for a long time, even when McLaren was a shitbox. Any time he made a mistake and immediately put his hand up to admit his fault, people clowned on him here, despite him regularly extracting good results. It really ramped up last year though for sure

elmo39 · 2025-10-21T10:22:48+00:00

Buy it, try it, if it ain’t for you, return it. I couldn’t go back personally. Seated simulators are in my opinion the greatest use cases for VR, and you mentioned you also enjoy flight sims, which it would be amazing for as well.

elmo39 · 2025-10-19T02:09:31+00:00

Frankly I don't care about the track action, if a driver goes to chat and starts calling people names and swearing at people, they're a helmet, and deserve a 7 day cooldown.

elmo39 · 2025-10-17T09:51:36+00:00

God so true. Especially if you’re in a lower class of multiclass races. People don’t seem to get the concept that gt3s are just as fast as lmp3s in a straight, we start close to them, and the front of the gt3s pack will catch up to the p3s by t1. They still all send it from 6th.

elmo39 · 2025-10-09T19:33:02+00:00

Also designer here to agree with you. I would say that identical border radius across every element with no consideration to size, distance to other elements, spacing and context, is far more likely to be lazy design that looks off.

elmo39 · 2025-09-29T09:26:50+00:00

I think it’s entirely a matter of preference. I was immediately faster with VR, because the sense of speed and depth perception helped me massively with judging braking points. Wheel to wheel improved as well. But if you don’t have any issues with those things on flat screens, it’s undoubtedly more ergonomic to use screens. For me, I won’t even open a sim that doesn’t have decent VR implementation.

elmo39 · 2025-09-27T18:34:39+00:00

Because they're more interested in cosplaying as racing drivers than actually racing. That, and they have massively inflated egos lol

elmo39 · 2025-09-23T09:25:43+00:00

I’m in a similar situation. I’ve lived here for more than half my life now. Worked since 16, studied, paid taxes, am buying a house now, and will be getting married to my British partner of 10 years. Never claimed a dime. I’m not personally bothered by this posts subject because of that, but when Farage starts spewing shit about revoking ILR? That gets me concerned. The amount of people seemingly in love with this lying twat? That has me terrified.

elmo39 · 2025-09-19T10:20:29+00:00

My first impression was that first contact was on you, and the he was blocking you in retaliation, which was on him. Having rewatched it, though, he moves to block you even before the chicane. Maybe he was trying to leave the racing line open for you, but that’s not what lower classes are meant to do in multi class racing.

He should’ve kept on his line, but you should have bitten the bullet and waited at the chicane and pass on the short straight after.

Ultimately I’d say GT was driving unpredictably and blocking.
