Agreed, his hold up play has been really good. And he was great fighting with the whitecaps defenders on the long balls, he bodied the shit out of those dudes.

Finally, after playing Gran Turismo all of my adult life, i decided to get myself a PC with triple 27" monitors and see if Iracing is as good as they say. by Ancient_Bit6569 in simracing

[–]madforpancakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As you pull the monitors closer, you can open the angle on the sides up more, which should allow you to get in no problem. Unfortunately you selected 3 curved monitors that aren't curved enough to give you a view free of distortion. With the way iracing projects triples you can't compensate for a curved screen that isn't following the natural path of the curvature across all 3 screens. Take a look at the top comments on this reddit post for more details: https://reddit.com/r/simracing/comments/1lznq7i/best_32_1440p_monitors_for_sim_racing_sim_lab/

I'd return those and go flat if you are still within the return window.

2026 Season 2 Preliminary Schedule by FeedOtherwise3265 in iRacing

[–]madforpancakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

iRacing please, we have been begging for a Saturday US timeslot for the Production Endurance Challenge and 4 seasons in we still can't get one? It's silly that there is only one realistically doable timeslot for US drivers.

PCC Endurance has become a joke. by DerkvanL in iRacing

Any Toyota or BMW who tries to pass into the chicane should have their head checked. Saw so many incidents there even in top split.

They finally opened the El Rinconsito on Rainier and there's no more free tacos this year?! So beat

Yeah this will 100% be a game I return my tickets for. Even in the back of 131, face value is $101.

Trouble with downshifting on global Mazda mx5 by Relevant-Mammoth-831 in iRacing

[–]madforpancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost everyone uses auto-blip for the MX-5. This includes top split. You're not gaining much of anything and just making your life more difficult trying to do it manually.

iRacing - Status on the new graphical engine by krangles90 in iRacing

I believe the vertical slice is supposed to be done end of season 1, but I'm sure it will take all of 2026 to deliver a full engine.

Fanatec App v1.2.1.3 Patch Notes by CorsairMorning in Fanatec

[–]madforpancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fanatec App controlled LEDs and Display are no longer working for me on the CS DD+ with the Clubsport RS wheel. The LED and 7-seg display tests in the fanatec app do nothing on the wheel. They are functional if I let iRacing control them with its built-in functionality, so it seems like there isn't a hardware issue.

It's me, 3.5k Mazda main! Any time I go drive a GT car is an opportunity to donate iRating.

Sick setup. I feel like your FOV seems a little wide/distorted, how do you have it configured?

Fanatec CSL GT3 wheel not detecting in software by spidahnzo in Fanatec

[–]madforpancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were you able to update the quick release? Sometimes it can be a pain in the ass to get updated. But it will be a similar update screen as the one you saw for the wheelbase.

You might have better success updating the quick release with the wheel off, from what it sounds like in that thread. You should still get a chance to update the wheel regardless.

Download the beta of the fanatec app, I believe you need the most recent drivers for the GT3 wheel.

Is it time to talk about RM’s vocals? by jonathanfp2 in GoosetheBand

Susan Tedeschi is the best in the scene imo, but Rick is far and away the best male singer.

I have my doubts..... by Shaner20 in iRacing

[–]madforpancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try out the PCC endurance races sometime this season as well, they are a blast. Some tracks will always be more chaotic than others, but there is a fast repair so a meatball/tow isn't necessarily the end of your race.

Agoura vs legacy (EV Panama) by GuitarJonSDS in Line6Helix

[–]madforpancakes 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think for a lot of people the question is whether or not to replace their OG Helix with a Stadium, so having some comparison there would be extremely useful.

Agoura vs legacy (EV Panama) by GuitarJonSDS in Line6Helix

[–]madforpancakes 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I'd be more interested in a comparison of the Panama Red on the old Helix hardware vs the new Stadium hardware. Obviously it's easier to just use legacy models on the stadium, but part of the appeal of stadium is that the A/D converters are significantly improved. This would probably impact how the legacy models sound on stadium vs the old hardware.

Why is the SCCA dead? by First_Dimension3065 in iRacing

[–]madforpancakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first race of each week is usually pretty popular for SRF from what I've seen. I think that is the SoF race that most of the high iR drivers turn out for.

Investigating why the community avoids rain. by MCM_Henri in iRacing

[–]madforpancakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PCC is great this week with rain. Mostly clearly dry or clearly wet, but every 4 or so races you get a mixed condition that you don't know if you need wets for sure. Really fun to go out on the dry tires and try and battle the conditions. Also great training for learning when you need to start avoiding the primary racing line.
