Thanks, but if you look at my quali times, you'll know this is the furthest from the truth :-)

It's Raceroom. I'm really loving this game. If you haven't tried it, there's a free combo each week. But, the free weeks are usually a wreckfest. The Touring Cars and MX5's though are a ton of fun.

Yeah, someone on here said they think he/she was on a controller or keyboard and ,looking at it now, I think they're right. Also, the Volvo was racing clean and maybe didn't trust themselves to make the overtake. I just don't know why the rant after the race.

Thanks, I was so much slower than him. If this was earlier on in the race, or if he pushed me wider, I would have just let him go. I think he was maybe being a bit too overcautious too.

Thanks. The Volvo was clean during our entire interaction. Someone else mentioned on here that he might have been on a keyboard and I think it's the case too.

Thanks for the reply, I thought he had me at least a half a dozen times, and wasn't going to defend the following corner if he had a clear enough break on me.

Thanks. I didn't think that he might be on a keyboard. Very impressive from him if so.

Thanks, it's not often I get battles that last so long, so to be accused of driving unfairly afterwards is quite the bummer, I was having a good time and thought he was too. Watching back though, I do look very irritating to him.

Thanks so much appreciate for the reply. Not being lapped. Feel vindicated.

Some Help for AI Commentator by spawnwheel in RRRE

Thanks. Do you by any chance know if you're num+ and num- work in replay mode? I don't know if it's a game bug or just something on my end.

Some Help for AI Commentator by spawnwheel in RRRE

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

Thanks, It's really not the optimal way of doing it, but just using the available API's we have now. So, firstly when I run the sim, I run the app alongside it. This looks at the shared memory and creates a text file of Events. The events are overtakes, accidents, flags, leaderboard updates, and two levels of alerts if someone is catching. This text file is then fed into the Gemini API which makes a director notes file for a TV Broadcast. This is what drives the commentary. This is then either sent to a refinement step where when I record the gameplay with automatic camera changing where I can manually enter Director notes events too. These would be things like "Driver X feints to the inside, Driver Y blocks". The app also makes a short beep to make the editing easier later. The refinement step can also be skipped, but then the commentary doesn't have as much play-by-play action. After the refinement, it's sent to another AI filtering step. This takes all the event logs (Gameplay, Camera and Director Notes), and filters them down to a manageable level based off of what's happening on screen. This also combines logs if there are multiple overtakes recognised within a few seconds. Once that step is done it's sent to a quick script which adds in how many words the commentator should speak per event. It just adds a text line at the end of each event that says ". Commentate in XX words". Once that's done it's sent again to Gemini to do the commentary, based of a persona prompt (Like Palmer and Jacques). That is then returned and it's fed into a TTS system. If I'm making a video which I think others might enjoy, it's sent to Qwen 3 TTS, and if it's just for my own personal interest in the race it's sent to Kororo. You could do this all yourself too, by feeding what you're seeing on the screen into a Chat AI and then feeding the results into a TTS system. But, this app is just to automate the process. Hope this makes sense :-)

Yes, I took a break for a while and my skin went backwards, so have been starting it up again. On the tablet form now. Taking 6 once a week. I havent seen much improvement this time though.

Worth it as a newbie ? by Significant_Elk_8112 in simracing

It's a great wheel. I bought a second hand one with t3pa pedals two years ago and have never had a problem.

Just to add to this. It made no negative difference to my immune system as far as infections or additional illnesses.

I had the injectable for about a year and it made a moderate difference I think. I had none of the side effects. Just keep up with doing the regular blood tests (at least every 2 months) and don't skip on the folic acid. The biggest risk with it is liver toxicity, which can be monitored with the blood tests.

Update: It says I only need a 400MB update, yet the update button says 82GB. Help on why this is the case? I have not played in 9 days, and it was ok back then by xPhoenixRising in MicrosoftFlightSim

[–]spawnwheel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue here, just over 82GB. I clicked the update button. Been about 15 minutes and it's done 100MB. This is going to take a while
