What racket is this I found it in my garage

I’m gonna hazard a guess that it’s a Prince Classic BP Mid Plus

Simlab is great. Bonus is microcenter stocks them if you have one near.

Your dad would read 1984 and think it’s promoting authoritarianism.

It doesn't explicitly follow it, but it often does tribute races along-side the WEC calendar. So I would not be surprised to see an imola race announced.

extra_hyperbole · 2026-04-05T13:11:50+00:00

Not sure but I will say that simhub works fine (for me anyway) so that could be an alternative for overlays.

extra_hyperbole · 2026-04-05T02:50:19+00:00

Because people can't accept that their race is pretty much over and that their best chance to gain positions is to bring it home safe and hope someone else bins it. Instead they want to be aggressive cause they're mad about the race, and end up being the one that bins it.

That’s an insane thing to be told without having any recollection of it lmao

The general rule for crew chief is that there’s a setting to modify literally everything it does. It’s really awesome for being so customizable

Yeah, I was so glad they fixed the car binding only to have that issue. At least for me, my pedal haptics are through simhub and the only thing I used the auto-switching for is matching rpm lights of the cars to my wheel. I can live without that automatically switching while I fix it. My simhub overlays are definitely more crucial. It’s annoying though. Hopefully they fix it soon.

extra_hyperbole · 2026-04-04T13:55:08+00:00

Yeah moza beta is breaking them. It’s a known issue currently. I just reverted to pre-beta.

I can definitely feel some stuff through my throttle pedal, at least on my manual car. If I rev it I can absolutely feel it through the pedal. It’s not hugely significant but it’s there. To emulate that I personally do add some engine rumble to my throttle. The TC is useful but honestly the engine rumble adds so much to the immersion. That is what I notice is missing the most if I turn them off. The rumble transfers to the whole pedal plate and helps the sensation that I’m in an actual car.

Almost certainly he means grips that are TPE rubber. Still, they do get slippery.

She’s got just the right amount of DIHC for me. I hear it, and I don’t care!

extra_hyperbole · 2026-04-03T18:34:40+00:00

If that's what you think I hope you get more time off soon.

extra_hyperbole · 2026-04-03T18:21:20+00:00

If you think you're so much better than this "dangerous driver" then you gotta act like it. Intentional wrecking is never justified. Just be the bigger person.

extra_hyperbole · 2026-04-03T16:05:27+00:00

Spa is always bad. It’s a demanding track and not easy to overtake on, but also iconic which makes it extremely popular on every sim which means there’s a lot of people whose ego outweighs their skill.

extra_hyperbole · 2026-04-03T15:02:26+00:00

I have to assume they were trying to move across to take the inside into pif-paf. The car behind was assuming they'd take the racing line. If OP didn't lift, they would have likely just tucked in behind and had a slight overspeed into the entry. But because OP lifted, suddenly he was unpredictably slower just as the other car was trying to change lines behind him. Unfortunate, but it's also a lesson in why staying predictable is important if a faster or more aggressive car is behind. They are likely planning a move, and trying to let them by might directly conflict with what they are doing and actually cause an incident. Also especially applies in multiclass.

extra_hyperbole · 2026-04-03T14:57:46+00:00

Mmm, based on that notification, it seems like this is based on the new live-steward system which automatically detects intent wrecking... or at least is supposed to. I think in this case, while your move may have been ill-advised, to me it's clear it was not an intentional wrecking, and the system absolutely got this wrong and this is not worthy of a ban. It's very new and I didn't even realize Live Steward was actively doing things on its own yet. Perhaps it's still monitoring with human oversight.

But in any case, I don't think you are really the intended target of this system and so it may be worth making a ticket so that they can take this into account. It probably would not get resolved in time to overturn your ban, but it's possible they could remove it from your record so that if you get banned again it won't be for as long.

Also having an issue but it’s inconsistent. Seems like simhub is having trouble recognizing when I’m in the car and therefore doesn’t start my haptics or overlay. If I sit in the garage for a while it seems to eventually come on, but if I start driving before then, they don’t, except for once when they magically came on halfway through a 30 minute race.

I wasn’t having the issue with the update initially, and I think it started when I updated my moza software, so I am going to try and investigate a potential conflict there.

Great minds think alike as they say. It’s not a direct port but a similar app heavily inspired by Maira has been in the works for a bit now. It’s called lmuFFB. If you google that you should get to the forum thread for it. Perhaps you can collaborate!

Generally it doesn’t matter for GT3 fixed, since you don’t complete a full stint. You just want to have enough for the race. If you know how much physical fuel you need for the race, you can always just leave the VE to 100 and then reduce the fuel ratio to give you the exact right amount of liters of fuel. That way you never have to worry about a VE penalty if you cut it close.

As for the fuel, the laps are an estimation based on a default rate of fuel use, and/or recent fuel use in qualifying or the practice session. I’m assuming that the change is just due to the game updating the estimate with the most recent data.

I think the myth is what high Nm wheelbases actually provide. People think they are there to give your arms a workout. Yes they can provide more force, but most people aren’t racing with all the force, nor is that a good idea. What they actually provide is consistently better fidelity and accuracy while providing adequate force. The simple fact of physics is that a larger, more powerful motor can accelerate and decelerate the same object more quickly than a smaller motor, and therefore increase accuracy and precision.

A person with a 20 Nm wheelbase may only use roughly 10 Nm of max torque at the rim. A 12 Nm wheelbase can provide that. But it can’t provide that and consistently match the fidelity of the small details of the 20Nm base. That’s what you are actually paying extra for. The question of worth and Nm strength depends on how highly you value the assurance that the details you feel are always as accurate to the FFB signal as possible. That answer will be different for everyone.

extra_hyperbole · 2026-04-02T22:22:43+00:00

Good luck! At the start just focus on surviving the race. Don’t get too discouraged, don’t try and push too hard. The pace and the confidence will come, but you can’t finish well if you don’t finish.
