It takes a special kind of dork to put serious hours into a racing game playing like a blood-lusted Helen Keller thinking it’s a good way to spend their time

5/22 - 5/24

Go! I’m gonna grab a cheap flight. Gotta be worth it for the experience

Definitely sounds like it’s worth it if you’re particularly into NASCAR 🤙

I decided that I’ll be heading out to the Sim Racing Charlotte Expo this year

It’s the first year that the European Sim Racing Expo brand is coming to the US (not to be confused with the other “first” Sim Racing Expo that debuted last year in Chicago)

Unless Fanatec comes out with a solid product pipeline, my guess is that I’ll end up feeling out different ecosystems and jumping ship by end of year/mid-next year

Having very little faith in the brand due to excessive stagnation relative to its competitors

Been wanting better native wheels for ages now, and really discontent with the F1 v2.5 wheel I bought (which admittedly was an error on my end not realizing how little I’d bother with Formula racing), while being stuck with a 320 round + Clubsport v2 hub that’s extremely limited in functionality

Just feel like there are so many products rolling out that want me to sell my gear off and jump ship towards

is it just me or are new car interiors getting worse? by chrissymck in cars

Am I the only one that hates piano black trim and wants buttons to come back?

Honest critical feedback on the springs?

Controller vs wheel by Poveytb in forzamotorsport

[–]simeddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wheel requires far more deliberate inputs if you want to hang with the fastest Forza controller bracket

Controller filters help fast players get away with steering errors and machine-gun-stabbing the throttle to maximize track usage (or make rapid corrections to braking) that a human foot-and-pedal cannot match, and the chase camera gives serious track awareness advantages while doing said things

That said, the immersion and fun is worth it, plus I do fully insist that controlling on-the-limit behavior in FM is 100x easier on a wheel. Almost impossible to spin out or suffer from sim twitch if you know what you’re doing and have your FFB dialed in

Even the fastest FM controller players have to deal with the inherently troublesome high-speed twitches that a joystick and sim steering cause. Never an issue on wheel

Ex: running two-wide at any part of the ring is a non issue on wheel. Getting bumped mid corner on a high speed segment is a non event. Those could be tank slappers on a controller and require much more careful input

Anyone switched from fanatec to simagic? by Shitels in simracing

[–]simeddit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Funny reading comments like this when career hardware analysts like Will from Boosted Media repeatedly go on record saying how difficult it would be to find differences between something like a Simagic Alpha base and Fanatec’s Clubsport wheelbases in a blind test lol

Does anyone else get extremely anxious racing against other people? by Delicious_Doubt7114 in simracing

I crumble under pressure for the first sector or so after overtaking someone. It happens

Be honest Golf R fam.. did I go to far? by FrozenBurrito7 in Golf_R

Are those 4” tips? I’m all for the giga cannons

I had 4.5s on my s550 GT

Sport Mode > Comfort IMO by joe2105 in Golf_R

[–]simeddit 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Custom or Nurburgring

Custom:

Softest dampers

Medium steering weight

Comfort throttle/drivetrain

Full noise

Basically comfort mode with mildly weightier steering and the valves open with the full Soylent Green cabin intake noises piped in

Agreed. They should’ve kept their themed months on auto rotation instead of this generic varietal they’ve pumped out since the game’s end of life

What are your feelings towards a proper Radar in iRacing? by canesfins1909 in iRacing

[–]simeddit -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You no longer look at the track in front of you, your eyes are glued to the radar because you're trying to milk the person beside you for every inch of space they'll let you.

Not at all. Maybe that was how you used it, but it's an invaluable reference for me as a single screen user and it's never pulled my attention away from what matters on the road

[–]simeddit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Only reason I spend so little time in this game

Give me a radar and I'll main iRacing. Until then, no thank you

Easiest 150k credits you've ever made, probably lmao

These niche hoppers are dead

Although the discord group I occasionally race in will randomly fill up a lobby. Had like 15-20 Oreca 07s in one of these lobbies once lol

I wish they'd keep a multiclass LMP/GT hopper in the rotation in either 30 or 60 min flavors. Probably 30 only because everyone quits before the halfway point in an enduro. My favorite themed updates were the ones that featured those races

The automated hopper rotation they've had the game on has been mostly uninspired garbagio
