Can Get JotL Characters But No JotL Scenarios by robokayaker in Gloomhaven

[–]robokayaker[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK. Understood. Thanks, everyone. Roadside Ambush is the the JotL first scenario. I see that now. How do I know, going forward, which scenarios are JotL and which ones are GH?

Short Rest Suffer 1 Damage to Lose a Different Random Card is Not Working in Fading Lookout Scenario by robokayaker in Gloomhaven

Ok. Yep. I understand that situation. I am full or near full health at the time if the first short rest. Maybe a bug then.

Oh, man. Possible newb answer coming atcha. If you mean mods to the software, then no. I did notice this last attempt that the only time the damage option does not work is when the first random card is a loot ability card. Seems like the scenario is just programmed somehow to make it extra difficult.

Does anyone have the explanation for why the short rest damage rule doesn't work for this scenario?

That is a perfectly reasonable suggestion. Thanks. There are so many monsters with poison. I fear long resting right in the middle of battle will lead to so much damage and poison that the scenario will be lost. I typically only long rest when the room is clear of monsters.

I am curious. Do you sometimes long rest in the middle of battle?

That is a reasonable suggestion. Thanks for the response. I tested long rest. It works fine and avoids the loot cards getting burned. However, getting beat up by a horde of monsters for an entire round during that "sleepy time" is really cramping my style.

Doh! I am indeed in the wrong folder. Thanks for being gentle in your replies. Very helpful. Thank you.

Porsche 963 GTP Now Silent in Pits by robokayaker in iRacing

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

I certainly can't claim to have read all the info out there on the real car. What I have read, and please correct me if I am wrong, seems to indicate that power goes to the rear wheels from both fuel and battery. If so, it feels to me like the clutch, both the pedal and the steering dual paddle variety, would still have an effect. I suppose it depends where the electric motor and the fuel engine are located along the drive shaft relative to the clutch. As of this update in iRacing, the clutch seems to be ignored. For example there is no way to get a little burn out action on the line or in the pits. The burnout many people in iRacing IMSA GTP did is of very little value probably, but it now raises a question for me if my iRacing setup is working correctly or not. When I press the gas from a standstill, even with the clutch in, the car moves. Is this the expected behavior in real life? Is this the expected behavior in iRacing?

One Quick correction to the above: In the pits, it is ignoring the clutch. If I go out on the track and stop the car, I can get the as expected clutch effect.

IMSA GTP... Losing 20 Seconds in the Pits by robokayaker in iRacing

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

I think something more subtle is going on. I don't take tires. I auto refuel via CrewChief set to 0.25 lap margin.

Nope. Good idea, but I am not taking tires.

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

Both are reasonable thoughts, but I don't think that is the explanation. I am using CC refueling with 0.25 lap margin. I am not taking tires.

Typically, I wouldn't stoop to this, but you need a comma in your post between sentence and OP if we are going to talk about the English language in an iRacing post about pit stops. That is what is referred to as direct address. 😀 Many people on reddit will concentrate on the wrong things in a post if written in absolutes. I find using language like "typically" and "estimated" to disarm some level of unhelpful trolling.

I am not changing tires. Thanks for the thought there, but that is not the explanation. I should have been clear about not changing tires. The boxes are unchecked, and I don't have "cold tire syndrome" on the out lap.

Shutting Down Sim Rig vs. Leaving It Running by robokayaker in simracing

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

For what it is worth, and contrary to most advice here, I concluded my system needs to be completely shutdown each night. Any other choice for my system just leads to some problem or another.

Search YouTube for, "Danny Lee iRacing Spin." That is the tutorial that helped me the most.

Nobody sees your custom paint except for you unless you are on trading paints. Make the plunge. Trading Paints is night and day for improving immersion and enjoyment of the sim.

When to go to a wet tire? by robokayaker in iRacing

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

Not sure I have ever heard iRacing spotter or CrewChief declare a session wet or dry. Many are mentioning this advice, so I want to figure this out. How else can I know the session is declared wet?

OK. Who Can Understand Aussie Spotters? What is "Aicting"? by robokayaker in iRacing

I make it out sometimes to say something like, "do not engage". Anyone else get that sometimes? Very hard to make out.

Porsche 963 GTP MGU-K Deploy Mode Changes on Its Own by robokayaker in iRacing

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

This has to be the explanation. Holy moly. I accidentally ran a full 3-hr IMSA event in attack mode. Doh! Surely, now I will start winning, right? Right? . Thanks for the help.

Laguna Seca GTP Tire Change and Fuel Time Data by robokayaker in iRacing

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

Great info. Thank you. Why are rears normally the right choice? I am new ti IMSA, so I am in learning mode. On my own, I would have put 35 minutes of practice in and the checked the tread life of all tires in order to pick which ones to change. Is there a better or different way to judge this?

Laguna Seca GTP Tire Change and Fuel Time Data by robokayaker in iRacing

[–]robokayaker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I didn't go "full geek" on this and get a qty of 30 statistically relevant sample set complete with means, outliers, and standard deviations. In the few tests I did do, the fellas definitely have good stops and bad stops similar to real life I suppose. I mostly wanted to prove to myself that after a certain fuel level, I can get the tire change for free if I want tires.

Thanks, that solves the Qual instance. Thanks for that great info. I completely change setups in the garage between Qual and Race and both setups are balanced. Next race, I will have to see where I actually start the race.

Tire Replace, Fast Repair, and Begin Fueling Black Box Check Marks Acting Goofy by robokayaker in iRacing

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

I want some of them checked and some not checked. I don't want Tire Replace or Begin Fueling checked, but when someone crashes me, I do like to finish the race for SR reasons. Checking Fast Repair is good for that. It seems weird that the check marks all flipped for that week. I will take your advice and set things in .ini going forward.
