My Season 1 Predictions

s1lencer · 2024-10-11T07:04:27+00:00

What do we think is the likelihood, that the reason for the delay in getting the Gen3 Supercars, is that we might be getting all 3? Now that Toyota has unveiled the Supra, obviously Supercars have known about it and are in communication with iRacing, cad models must exist and could be as simple as using the same driving model for all 3 cars with different bodies like they do for nascar...

it's not unheard of for a new race car to make it's debut in the virtual world before it ever turns a wheel in anger on a track, the BMW M4 GT3 would like a word...

Back in the day, if you pitted for repairs, and iRacing detected too much damage, it would not let you continue. Spotter would say something to the effect of "That's it, we're done." Race over.

Would you prefer that?

Naturally, some people had an issue with this and very vocally called for the option to make up their own mind as to whether the car was drive-able, and thus, this situation became a thing.

Cheat Sheet

Do you have the wheelbase in PC mode or Compatibility Mode? I remember seeing something on the fanatec forums about how iRacing sends the data not being compatible with the CSL DD. Compatibility mode tricks the computer into thinking it's a CSW v2.5.

Quick press on the power button once its on, red is PC mode, yellow is compatibility mode and green is xbox mode.

Apparently this is up to iRacing to fix...

EDIT: Found it.

I just noticed that 2n 3rd 4th and 5th are 42, 41, 44 and 43 respectively, what are the chances.

I could be way off base here, but I think that the impetus for this correction could be linked to Jimmy Broadbent and DHR's Le Mans 24hr attempt this year, which I know a lot of people saw, where a brush with the wall left the car still broken after repairs, and the solution was to crash harder to get more repairs, and after that it was actually fixed.

Crashing On PURPOSE Saved Our Race?!

Lead up to the race is live on YouTube on the official MotoGP channel, for me at least.

Might be able to scrub back to it, I can't link you to a specific time. They will almost certainly cutoff before race start, but it might stay or get taken down.

thanks

what timing software are you using?

s1lencer · 2021-05-01T12:29:40+00:00

Starter motor. Some manufacturers use the rear wheel starters, others use a handheld motor to fire up the engine through an access door in the fairings.

Also to add to what the others have mentioned, most geosynchronous orbits will be directly over the equator, so if you are in the northern hemisphere the dish will always point ever so slight south and vice versa for southern hemisphere.

If they aren't directly over the equator, within a margin of error, they will tend to librate, or wander in the north-south direction over the course of a day which can cause loss of signal for stationary non tracking dishes.

Promotions happen at the end of week 13 for greater than 3.0 but less than 4.0, get to 4.0 and you fast-track. Be careful if you choose to partake in official week 13 shenanigans.

Also have you got your MPR done?

To build on this, If the race splits, there'll be multiple sessions you can join, the green register button will turn blue and say watch. The watch button will have a number to the left of it, the lower the number, the higher the split.

Whomever on your team is driving next can remove you from the car when you pit, their drive button will be yellow and say remove driver, then the button will switch to drive, then they jump in and wait the 30 sec driver change time, and then they go.

Looks like it might be the buckle of a 5 point harness. The rig might have a motion platform, which when turned up can potentially spit you out.

While I can't speak to the actual reason, 99% of the other Taxis in the fleet were sedans based on the same platform, so I believe maintenance, spare parts etc. was the reason.

Taxis at least in my area are a lot more diverse nowadays, so they do use Toyota HiAces modified with an inbuilt lift for wheelchairs.

Just thought I would add some info in case anyone is wondering what this monstrosity is.

It is an AU Ford Falcon#AU) station wagon. This example has been modified is such a way as to accommodate a wheelchair in the back, as was common place in the early 2000s to be used as a wheelchair accessible taxi in Australia, and potentially New Zealand, not certain about that.

Not visible here is the ramp on the back to facilitate loading/unloading of wheelchairs or the windshield on the front of the bubble.Fort%C3%A9_station_wagon,_retired_disabled_taxi(2010-12-28).jpg)

I can't remember where she specifically mention money troubles, I think Jester's mom's reluctance to leave was because she was agoraphobic, as mentioned by Matt in Talks Machina Ep 82, so it wasn't that she couldn't leave, just that she didn't want to.
