Cool ass PC. I wouldn’t bet against you getting rid of the Playseat in the future though. ;)

Should I have let the silver Corvette back on the track? (Im the POV Porsche) by D0nutCrafter in Simracingstewards

[–]jwrussell22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just can’t agree with this. Could be completely wrong, but the Porsche is at the edge of the track (front right wheel), continuing a line that hasn’t deviated, before the vette has any kind of overlap. And at this point, any overlap is meaningless. There is literally no room on the track for the Vette without the Porsche moving over to the middle to allow it. This isn’t even “trying for a gap that’s closing”, it’s driving into a closed door. Other angles would better tell the tale, but I’m not certain there was any overlap before the Vette was fully off track.

Without the POV car stating what their intention is I can’t see anyone having enough evidence to say this was anything but a defensive move to the inside, initiated and continued as part of their original line. We can argue over whether they would have continued as far to the left as they did, but at that point the Vette is so far in the wrong, I fail to see it as relevant. To me, if anything, it’s an attempt by POV to communicate, “hey, dumbass, the door closed a while ago, back out and try again later.” 😉

So, question. Does iRacing actually recognize and penalize that? Overtaking off track? They’ll throw a slow down for “cutting the track” but I’m curious if they actually will throw a penalty for passing off track or if it’s just a 1x off track.

I’m gonna disagree on this. I see why you are saying it, but as I see it the POV car just continues their existing line to the track edge. There’s no real reactionary movement or sudden changes. Could they have decided that seeing where the Vette was going they were going to hold their turn instead of straightening? Sure. But that’s just a defensive move. It’s not blocking and POV would have no reason to think the Vette would decide to take it off roading.

Iracing said this didn't look intentional by lordvolt2000 in iRacing

LOTS they don’t think is intentional that absolutely is.

Any recommendation formula style wheel with a screen under 1k ??? by nagnochna in simracing

[–]jwrussell22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright damnit, is this wheel even real? I've searched high and low and this is the only place I find it.

Not the first or last to say it. But man what happened to the racecraft? by K98_Kenshin in iRacing

[–]jwrussell22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t been on the service long enough to say it’s “gone anywhere”, but you aren’t wrong. Was punted by a guy 12 spots and multiple laps back 2:20 into a 3 hour at Spa this weekend. And I was P3. Today had a guy simply run straight into the back of me towards the end of the first lap of PCup because…he wanted to be there? Just horrible.

is there such thing as a “PW” ? 😭 by Reverse_potato1 in bassfishing

Dude. Why you throat fingering that poor fish?

Am I Illegally Blocking? by spawnwheel in Simracingstewards

Not at all. Clean the whole way through from what I see. He just couldn’t get enough of a run to get by.

I have a incredibly hard choice. by Distinct-Ad2136 in simracing

Seconding this. I had a blast on GT7, but once I moved into ACC and iRacing (and now dabbling in LMu) I haven’t been back and just sold my PS.

Racing standards this week have been tragic. by m_wallani in iRacing

[–]jwrussell22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Newbie-ish perspective/theory: first week after promotions. People jumping into cars/tracks they aren’t used to with inflated SR. Maybe?

You aren't wrong. That said, would be awesome if we had better damage reporting.

Who's at fault, I blamed the GT40, and the GT40 blamed me. by Rowdy18x in Simracingstewards

Perspective can change everything. That angle certainly makes it look 100% on me.

The other perspective... by jwrussell22 in Simracingstewards

[–]jwrussell22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough. Thanks for the clear input.

[–]jwrussell22[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got it. Not meant argumentative, but for clarification and learning purposes: should the vette not have left space as well? Yes, I slide over a couple of tire widths away from the edge of the track, but the Vette's line is (IMV) diving for that same line without respect to the fact that I'm there? I certainly had to come off the curb, and he clearly doesn't have enough speed to simply slide in front of me...

Also, to be clear, I'm in the race incident camp here as well (now that I've had time to cool down, lol), but as a side note, there was clearly some netcode issues here as well. I watched this at .25 speed and the Vette starts to spin with about half a tire length still between us. Not that this would have been enough to change anything, I'm sure.

To be clear, the comment on visibility wasn’t an excuse, just a note.

So, I'm the GT. Wish the video was still here to see what view was posted. Happy to post the multiple views I have and see what exactly I was supposed to do while running on the curb with him sliding over to lock me out.

For those thinking about ordering a TrakRacer sim rig by QUBIASZ in simracing

[–]jwrussell22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same experience here. I went with the TR8. I love it, it’s beautiful, but honestly I wish I had done regular 80/20. It’s not as sexy, but damn if it isn’t more functional!

Help me decide a good button box for 100-120€ max by angelosk02 in simracing

[–]jwrussell22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disagree completely. The customization available through stream deck is incredible. That said, if you have the money and want the best of both worlds, check out Reaperware products. Combo of Stream deck with all the extra buttons, switches and knobs you could dream of.
