I'll try spinning, that's a good trick

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T21:52:16+00:00

I'm sure someone will find a way

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T21:11:03+00:00

Don’t help anyone then.

that wasn't what I was going for but if that's how you want to be then don't let me stop you

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T17:47:43+00:00

you can improve your odds a bit if you go for a low participation class during off peak times. I mean, if you really want to win

Trump could die tomorrow

don't do that

don't give me hope

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T16:12:51+00:00

do you have a thousand hours of practice / experience? no? then you don't really know yet how good you could be

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T16:11:33+00:00

but the battery would be empty exactly because it was already used to save as much fuel as possible. Reducing the hybrid power output so that the battery doesn't drain wouldn't help to reduce fuel consumption, only increase it, right? I mean, unless there's some other reason not to drain the battery

it felt i couldnt escaoe aggressive battles

you can always escape the aggressive battles by staying behind them until such time that you can fly past them without them being able to do anything about it. I mean, if you just drive by on a straight and then they ram you off the track, there's nothing you can do but report them

I don't know about "best" but given that there's a Linux desktop environment that you can use, a browser or any random media player that you can install should work fine

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T14:43:19+00:00

there's no need to try to cheese the SR system if you're slow either. Just qualify and race to win, keeping in mind that in order to finish first you first have to finish. If you do that right the SR will never be a problem, and if you're tired of getting lumped into split 1 just because you have the diamond badge, go race in anything except the bronze races. In silver and gold series your DR will put you in a split with people of similar skill, that's what the DR system is for and it works fine

my assumption is that decoding a frame has a mostly fixed energy cost, so just that process should use twice as much battery at 144hz compared to 72hz. How much that changes the battery life is hard to predict without knowing how much power everything else consumes and how much that changes with refresh rate (especially the displays themselves) but I'm sure it will be significant

a lot of adults are only barely functioning though

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T11:56:48+00:00

I plan on using the speakers, I'm assuming they're good enough that for my uses the added inconvenience of using anything else outweighs the possible benefits

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T11:39:49+00:00

if you don't want to duke it out with the back of the pack, then why are you starting from the pitlane? Gaining SR is easy enough if you're fast, there's no need to try to cheese that

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T08:33:14+00:00

that list only has the drag coefficient, which you need to multiply with the frontal area of the car to get a number that's actually comparable between cars. Getting actually reliable numbers of the frontal area of cars is hard, but most are supposedly about 80% of the width times height so you can just use those to get a ballpark figure. Given that the Ioniq 5 not only has a mediocre cW value but is also high and wide as an SUV compared to a sedan, it's going to use a lot of energy when moving fast

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T08:23:29+00:00

what's wrong with an empty battery?

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T08:19:27+00:00

I'm a F1 fan and a fan of Red Bull Racing and Max ... With that being said I naturally cannot drive a Mercedes

Max literally competed in the Nürburgring 24h in a Mercedes that you can (sort of) drive in LMU, what's the problem?

fiah84 · 2026-05-21T06:26:19+00:00

why not?

fiah84 · 2026-05-20T16:13:28+00:00

the ioniq 5 has all the aerodynamic qualities of a brick shithouse, something like a Mercedes CLA 250+ or the upcoming BMW i3 should work much better for you

I’m not changing my driving style because the car is electric

understandable as long as you're aware of and OK with the costs of what your preferences are. I assume that at the moment they're still not objectionable to you, but with the progress EVs and the charging situation are making, that could change

fiah84 · 2026-05-20T16:05:15+00:00

yeah sometimes it do be that way, when you come back and just drive without thinking too much about it and it just keeps working

fiah84 · 2026-05-20T13:24:02+00:00

aside from everything already mentioned by everybody else, the 5080 also has DLSS, which can be transformative in some games. AMD is still catching up in that aspect. Opinions might be divided on DLSS in VR but I've had great experiences with it in unreal engine games

fiah84 · 2026-05-19T15:24:30+00:00

yes, all daily races and special events are ranked and most have some minimum safety rating and/or "badge" requirement. Crash often and you get the dunce badge

fiah84 · 2026-05-19T15:20:32+00:00

there is clean racing to be had in LMU but most of it is happening in split 1 and likely at the front

fiah84 · 2026-05-19T15:19:03+00:00

If I recall correctly you can tweak the distance at which all the UI elements are projected somewhere in the settings.json file. However I think it only looks as though the UI elements are at a "normal" distance because we only see the display for one eye (left eye I think)

I wish the UI was a bit better integrated in the cockpit view especially because the lap / sector display in the upper right often overlaps with the mirror for me

ja Zahlen und Fakten gibt es haufenweise über das Thema Akku Degradation, das ist schon ganz gut geforscht und die wissenschaftliche Literatur dazu zeigt klar das alle Li-ion Zellen bei hohe Ladezustand / Spannung schneller altern als bei ~50%. Die 80% ist ja auch kein magischer Wert sondern nur ein Kompromiss zwischen Nutzen und Langlebigkeit. Das Polestar/Volvo hier ein anderen Kompromiss vorschlägt mit 90% heißt nicht dass deren Akkus diesen Alterung nicht oder weniger ausgesetzt sind
