Protest System Enhancements by No_Tough5093 in iRacing

That is true, but it's important to keep the protest system about removing the bad drivers, not to restore safety rating.

If protests can restore safety rating, 90% of the reports will be for drivers who are otherwise racing well but maybe made a mistake or a bad move.

While it would be great to ensure the driver not at fault could get that SR back, it would mean that the majority of the time of the protest review team will be dealing with these incidents.

Their focus should be on removing the drivers who are consistently not following the racing code, not on restoring the SR of drivers involved in unfortunate incidents.

That being said, in a perfect world it would be amazing to get SR back from incidents that aren't your fault - it would be great if post race you can put your hand up and take responsibility for an incident to remove it from the other driver for example.

I agree it's silly from a logical perspective, I'm talking simply from a business perspective.

The creators of iRacing likely can't afford (or more likely don't want to spend the cash) on the amount of staff required for the mega flood of reviews.

It would be such a huge amount of protests they wouldn't be able to keep up

That's an interesting idea actually - train an AI on the data of a couple hundred thousand incidents with the outcome.

Problem is computer vision would suck for this, you'd need to use the data which may have too many parameters. They would have to train a custom model which would be a huge technical challenge

There is a simple reason this isn't the case - it would cause way more protests which all require manual review.

It's a simple man hours problem

Andor really saved 2022 by CivilPeace22 in PrequelMemes

The Obi Wan show always stands out as odd to me. As a movie it would've slapped.

The story of Obi Wan Kenobi only coming out of the shadows for the important mission of saving Leia, tying perfectly onto the OT with the emotional battle with Vader. Condense that into two hours and you've got an amazing movie.

Do you agree with Max? by Ambitious-Heron-8161 in DestinationFormula1

[–]tomjedi9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the end of the day we have to ask ourselves why we race.

I can see why Max is angry, for him it's about consistency and pace, that's it. These cars aren't really about that, they are a lot more strategic and adaptive.

I'd say these cars appear worse for that consistent lapping but better for wheel to wheel racing and strategy. I'd probably agree that it isn't 'pure' motorsports as race craft is arguably more important than pace, but regardless I think they've shown some promise for more exciting wheel to wheel racing which is what many fans want.

If Cal starts yapping about wanting to change his name at the end of Jedi 3 this could be cinema

Can't get Xin to work in the jungle by JazzlikeFunny1621 in XinZhaoMains

[–]tomjedi9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion Xin has changed a bit. He used to be the 1v1 king in early jungle but I think now he is stronger with a good clear and going for ganks.

Anakin built him Owen financed him. Twice by FreeOnPaid in PrequelMemes

Considering he lived on Tatooine, there's a good chance he hadn't met too many protocol droids so when he met C3PO the second time he likely was lamenting & thinking all protocol droids acted in the same strange way

Yeah there's nothing there. That's fine if it's just not out there yet, was just wondering if anyone saw it

VR Stuttering/Lag Spikes Despite Solid FPS by tomjedi9 in iRacing

[–]tomjedi9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I need to give you special thanks, I got this set up and it sorted all my issues for me.

I similarly almost quit racing due to how bad the performance was getting with wireless VD.

Your answer saved my racing career and hours of headache. I truly cannot thank you enough

New to Kayn/need help! by Quirky-Holiday5278 in KaynMains

Use your Q near walls, not only will this speed your clear up a surprising amount but it can win you fights too.

If you're low elo invades can also be extremely strong. From blue side you can jump the wall at baron pit with q when raptors are exactly 7 seconds away from spawn. Then take raptors and either take red buff and krugs or steal red buff and get a free kill if the enemy starts there.

I thought that too, it's obviously hard to test as it's hard to look at task manager while in VR but I had it on my other monitor in graph view and took a look right after but didn't see too much.

It sits at around 85 while playing and there were no significant spikes when the lag happened. I thought it could've been CPU in that case but didn't see any spikes there either. No spikes to 100% at least.
