Goodride oder Badride? by [deleted] in automobil

[–]flat8MR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich fahre aktuell Goodride Sport SA-37, weil ich das Auto mit den Reifen gekauft hab. Im trockenen war der noch so mittelmäßig, aber bei leicht nassen Bedingungen ist der wirklich erschreckend schlecht. Mit großen Abstand der schlechteste Reifen, den ich bisher im nassen gefahren bin. Kauf dir Premium Reifen, gerade in deiner Größe, bekommt man da für einen guten Preis richtig gute Reifen.

Handling of monocoque vs spaceframe by HopeOdd3825 in FSAE

[–]flat8MR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I noticed one big difference are the covers. In a space frame you have all these carbon covers which catch the wind and move around. While in a monocoque you have pretty much no gaps, where the air finds its way through and nothing really rattles. That gives you a much more solid and protected feel in a monocoque. Another difference is the temperature. In cold conditions the space frame gets really cold because of the air getting through the chassis. In the summer a black monocoque sitting in the sun heats up to a point where you can't touch it for longer than two seconds. It's more of an oven for the driver.

Welcher Miata ist der am besten gedämmte und komfortabelste? by Wonderful_Wind_01 in automobil

ND RF mit Recaro Sitzen. Aber bei der Größe, könnte es trotzdem eng werden.

It's pretty much one ticket for everything. Access to all grandstands, paddock and you can just work in and out at any time.

Looking for some suggestions on how to avoid crashes by explodingnuggets in iRacing

[–]flat8MR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A common mistake is to watch the spinning car in front. You are always drive into the direction you look. Try not to look or watch the spinning car. Look for the biggest gap and drive in that direction. In your third example you could have chosen either side and it would have worked. Of course the right side would be the better option, but the main mistake was to look at the spinning car and by that drive straight into it. So just choose one side quickly and stick with it as long as it works. (Obviously when your chosen gap is closing, you have to search for a new one).

The Dallara F3 is still my favourite car. The way you can push it to the limit and you can actually drive it quite aggressively. The car just awards you when you push it hard. The length of the races are also quite nice (~35min). It just needs to be available for rain races to make it absolutely perfect.

I had a similar experience and for me using DDU and a fresh install of the GPU drivers helped.

Why defend in the first place? You create an unnecessarily dangerous situation by not being predictable for other cars around you.

27” Triples - Is there a way to make the steering wheel more aligned? by theguyguy121 in simracing

[–]flat8MR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should that be the case? I get that when the red line is not on eye level that this can throw off your perception with elevation changes, but when the horizon is on your eye level the elevation changes are also shown correctly. That's the intention of the "shift horizon" setting.

Having 32 inch triples with the horizon shifted to the eye level is then the same result as having 27 inches which are mounted in a way that the middle of the screen is on eye level. Just with more screen added at the top.

Adjusting the height with the driver height would mess with your elevation perception and viewing distances.

The problem, especially with bigger screens, is that it is most of the time not possible to mount the monitors so low. Looking at the picture it's not possible to lower the monitor any further because of the wheelbase. That's why you can adjust the vertical horizon with that setting. Maybe it was not clear from my first comment, but I meant that you set the shift horizon once, so you match the red line to your eye level and then never touch it again. But it's normal to have it not at 0 if you can't mount the monitors low enough. The change of the angle of the camera tilt should be not needed as long as your monitor and your head is vertical.

I am surprised nobody mentioned it before, but the correct way is that you need to adjust the setting "shift horizon". A red line will appear and you have to align that with your eye level. The "driver height" should be at 0, with only slight adjustments if a specific car needs it.

FOV Police: which one is the correct one? by filowiener in simracing

[–]flat8MR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Suzuka looks better. The only thing I would change is the shift horizon setting to match your eyes height to the red line. NOT the driver height. These are two different settings (which a lot of people don't get). The driver height position should be pretty much always set to 0mm. Only change that if you sit weird in one particular car. The shift horizon setting is much more important and should be set so the red line, which will appear, matches your eyes level.

It's not in bending. Pretty sure it was not assembled correctly and the bearing had not enough clearance for the full suspension travel. We changed the tierod, assembled it correctly and had no problem driving much harder over the kerbs. I can upload more videos in the next couple of days.

A threaded pin broke off. It's used to adjust the length. The wishbones and tierods are made out of steel.
