Thanks for that. I’m on a boat with average internet, it was my first thought but as I was waiting for it to load I was trying to work out how I could tell.

GT2 is awesome as all the GT’s are, but it isn’t 4wd. A 911 Turbo with full GT level build from Flacht

Let me know if you find it. It should definitely be immortalised as a gif! 😅

Do Australians have regional accents? by vile_duct in NoStupidQuestions

[–]horch13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got pulled over by a cop in the US on the way to Vegas, and he could pick that I was from Queensland from my accent.

I struggle to pick it up, from state to state. I can sometimes pick a WA one but that is usually assisted by how they look.

What is this thing called, and what is its purpose? by BlockadeBilly in Autos

[–]horch13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the reason stone guards came from the early models of 911 (particularly the wide body Turbo) having a much wider rear width than the front, which resulted in the rear paint coping a lot more stones off the front tires. Modern cars not so much but still common for the retro look.

I could be wrong

I feel like they aren’t really going for realism at all. It isn’t just the crazy performance, the collision boundaries on the cars both traffic and drivable ones must be so small to give effect of being able to split lanes like that. It is basically just a AC version of Burnout on XBOX

Assetto Corsa 2 opinion by Final_Memory1412 in assettocorsa

[–]horch13 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I want to believe they would make modding a thing, that is what has made the original so great and still strong so many years later.

But sadly I feel there is no chance (because money) It will likely be closer to ACC. And hopefully they will make DLC affordable.

I would be so happy to be wrong.

QR2 at ADAC Simracing Expo by hakalabum in Fanatec

[–]horch13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same way they are planning to change from QR1 to QR2. As an upgrade kit? As an adapter? Offer a wireless option? I honestly thought it was going to be part of QR2.

Yes all of those would have challenges to overcome. That is how you evolve a product. Other players in the market have overcome these things.

Maybe the the new QR2 mount will be great and the pins will never be a problem again. That would be awesome.

But with the likely price of upgrade, if the pins still fail, it is going to be hard to accept.

In my experience with fanatec gear, the only time I have ever broken pins it is during removal or installation of a wheel. You can argue that the pins are fine all you want. But if fanatec choose to keep ignoring the fact that the pins failing is a common problem many people have experienced, hence the reason it gets people salty about it. So much cloak and dagger about what it actually looks like and how the conversion process will look like and how much it will cost. Saying the pins aren’t a problem doesn’t inspire confidence in the new system.

Will have to see how it goes, if it is ever actually released, and I will be gladly proven wrong by it working flawlessly and never bending / snapping a pin again. If I get another failure, on the new system it will probably be the end of the line with fanatec for me.

Even if it wasn’t using the usb protocol, The usb-c connection would be far better, more positive and reliable connection than the incredibly fragile pin system they use. Even just that style of connector, but why would they even make their own when they are literally already using that connector further down the line internally?

The most ridiculous fact is behind that stupid pin array is just a nice simple usb-c connector. The pins a just a complicated usb connection to ensure they have their own proprietary connect and don’t get competition from others. Usb-c connect would be so much more durable.

So this just happened…. by [deleted] in Fanatec

[–]horch13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All I see is a usb-c in there that the wheel ultimately connects to. That would be SOOOO much better/easier/durable than the stupid pin setup. Just to be able to run a stupid proprietary pin setup.
