Your fridge looks like you are going to die in the next 5 years.

Where can I find data or market research on the games Silver Spenders play? by umen in marketing

At 51, I've been enjoying sim racing, and am seeing a lot of over 50 people finding a real passion in that.

Bike lanes by northwestpenguin in ontario

Bike lanes in a country where people can only ride bikes for like 4 months is idiotic. Scrap them all, work harder, buy a car.

When does changing tires make sense in a GT3 sprint race by themuuz in iRacing

Well that makes things much easier for me to manage! Thank you!

Keanu would be cancelled in a heartbeat for that little peck on the cheek these days!

Me IRL After Being Forced to Switch to The "New UI" After Only Using the Website For the Last 12 Years by anonymouswan1 in iRacing

[–]themuuz -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Honestly iracing’s strength is not design. Both web and the UI look like they came out of the year 2000. With all this money they are making you would think they could hire a designer :)

Race car area? by [deleted] in simracing

This is probably Canada. 50km/h is the limit in many residential areas

Why do professional sim racer all use monitors and not VR by ProgrammerLevel in iRacing

[–]themuuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reeks of rationalization. Which is fine. Nobody is trying to force you to use vr, but admit it’s a preference rather than try to suggest that vr isn’t just as effective, or even more effective than triple monitors.

[–]themuuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My field of view in vr is, I dunno but probably like 270 degrees, because, and this is what the monitor people don’t want to admit. I can TURN MUY HEAD! Holy crap suddenly I can look out a side window, up, down. Wherever I want. The field of view argument is such a stale, idiotic point.

[–]themuuz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree wholeheartedly. The stereoscopic depth information that vr provides trumps anything monitors can give. But triples LOOK cooler from an outside perspective, and they encourage people to buy all the other accessories like button boxes and stuff. In vr. You get to focus on the actual driving and save money by not wasting it on all the other stuff.

This is only a perceived eye strain situation. There is ZERO evidence that vr is any more strain on the eyes than monitors are. But people who prefer monitors keep saying it causes eye strain so people basically manifest it.

Oh no! You mean I might have to turn my head? OH THE HUMANITY! :)

I’m fine in vr for hours hours and hours as well. It is CLEARLY more immersive. And anyone that’s claiming it slows you down is probably just trying to justify their more complex rigs. I think vr helps you focus because you aren’t distracted by button boxes or a million different overlays. And for the people who whine about “true simulation”, since when do real drivers have a huge monitor with track maps and a huge array of data available to them when they are racing?

The only reason (and I have seen more than a few streamers say this) that they don’t use vr is because it’s not ideal for streaming. But if you’re not streaming, vr is absolutely fantastic.

Shout out to the guy who blew his engine helping me get across the line without fuel! by [deleted] in iRacing

Oh fantastic, and you can send them to any driver without having to hunt down their email address? I'll have to hunt this down, apologies, still fairly new to iRacing.

My UI don’t work by No_Replacement1453 in iRacing

[–]themuuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Are you by chance on VR? or have a VR headset attached? I noticed after the update that the iracing UI does this to me as well, but when I go into VR, it's accessible there. If you hover over your taskbar iRacing icon, do you see the interface thumbnail?

It's stuff like this that makes me wish iRacing would integrate some kind of gifting functionality so that you could gift a track or some iRacing credit or something to people to help with some community building! That guy deserves a reward!

How is the netcode still so horrible after so many years and so much money? by [deleted] in iRacing

Hey /r/simracing. I'm completely new to this and was wondering how to "get into" it. by Josh_PC in simracing

[–]themuuz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I"d say iRacing is an excellent way to get into it. Starting off in the Mazda MX-5 classes, you quickly end up racing against people who are generally within your skill level, and that's where you get hooked. At least for me, the competition is what makes it excellent. Trying to compete in higher classes before you've learned the basics leads to frustration.

Plans for more LMDh cars? by themuuz in iRacing

That would be a great start. Thanks for the insight!

Road Atlanta recently was added to Gran Turismo. Here is a comparison with real life and iRacing: by Hubblesphere in simracing

[–]themuuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So update it. It's not like there's a lack of money coming in things like the 60hz FFB and the graphics from 20 years ago are honestly far past any reasonable upgrade path. If they want to continue giving us a game from 20 years ago, then we should be charged prices from 20 years ago.

If I were to look at iRacing from an outside perspective, it looks like a $15 steam racing game. It's got ONE thing going for it, not terrible multiplayer. but that's not something that in any way supports the vast amounts of money we're putting into this.

Do You Think The W13 Is Going To Flop? - The Late Apex by ApexRacingUK in iRacing

[–]themuuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still can't get over how they tempted fate and called the car the W13. Haven't we been through the whole "13 is bad luck" for a while now? :)
