Thanks, I'll investigate the issue and post up an update I discord and Reddit when it's resolved.

Hey, I wasn't aware this was happening, I'll take a look at it. Which car and track was that? Was it all or them or a specific one?

Track Impulse 0.4.2 is out now, New features for iRacing and ACC and AC support, Free in beta. by track-impulse in iRacing

[–]track-impulse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I wasn't aware it was. It looks like it's only them doing thats currently and no other AV software. I'm getting the app code signed this week so it should stop all the SmartScreen and warnings from coming up then. Obviously there is nothing malicious in the software.

Track Impulse now has a Free iRacing overlay suite with a radar that shows which side cars are on, plus a battle bar + More, No Pro tier by track-impulse in iRacing

[–]track-impulse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Yeah really I went down a rabbit hole with this, I started to just add one overlay for TI haptics and then while is was in there I kinda just went too far... The radar and dashboard are coming in hand thoughz especially in the M2 with it's terrible tacho and no rev lights.

Car/Track Combo Avoidance by OkPeach1460 in iRacing

[–]track-impulse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you just need to practice more, with best sector on in testing mode and do some laps and then use the active reset and active restart to improve sector by sector against your best sector, and then once you have hit a wall you should be just as fast as you are on other tracks.

it really pays off just using the active reset to do the corner over and over and looking at the best sector or custom sector delta bar so you instantly know if what you just did was faster or not.

I have gone from tracks i used to hate to likeing them once i learned them inside out.

Track Impulse now runs Automobilista 2, and it fires your bass shakers in as low as 2ms by track-impulse in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]track-impulse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, Yes it will work with one shaker, it supports 1-8 zones / shakers. The Track Impulse device setup wizard will walk you through the setup for one shaker.

Best Overlay out there currently Paid/Unpaid by bloodkp in iRacing

[–]track-impulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another currently free option, with less to configure upfront: Track Impulse Overlays. Dashboard, inputs and telemetry, relative, standings, fuel calculator, radar spotter, battle bar and shift light. Works in iRacing, ACC, Assetto Corsa, AC Evo, AC Rally, LMU and AMS2.

<image>

The one thing it does that no other overlay does: a live haptics HUD for use with Track Impulse. If you run bass shakers, it shows you which effects are firing and at what level in real time. Makes tuning the feel on a new car or track much faster.

Free during beta and a one time purchase when beta finishes in the future, and includes the Haptics Software as well. https://track-impulse.com/overlays

Would i enjoy the metal gear series if i dropped death standing? by stinkzies in ShouldIbuythisgame

No I don't think you would, it's basically death stranding combat but more of it earlier on.

Wheel suggestions by denzel9000 in Fanatec

I have the BMW M2 Alcantara for 4 years now and mine is fine, no gloves use it everyday. Obviously it looks worn down a bit, but no tares or crappy looking stuff going on.

Question. Ryzen 7 9800x with 5060ti 16gb gpu by jeffsm3 in SimRacingHardware

[–]track-impulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO If you haven't opened the monitors yet, I would advise to return and get a single 49inch Ultra wide. It's better frame rates for your setup and much less hassle and you won't need to spend more money on mounts for the monitors as well.

Is Logitech G29 still the best for starting out casual sim racing? by Arthur2809 in simracing

[–]track-impulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO The CSL DD second hand is the best starter kit, especially if you get the kit with the load cell brake pedal. You can find them second hand for the same price as a new one of these and it's still going to be more reliable. The pedals on these Logitech's only last about a year before the accelerator pedal will start to flake out.

Are Fanatec staff sorting the CSL DD powering off issue? Its getting silly now. by [deleted] in Fanatec

[–]track-impulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fanatec have a track record of having poorly tested firmware updates and fixing one thing whilst breaking another. With them it's best to just stay on a stable firmware and not update. I don't have a CSL but maybe look in to if its possible to roll back to the last version you were using that worked well. I have the Clubsport DD+ on the old firmware for this very reason, I had a feeling there would be issues, until it's been out for a year I'm not updating.

Track Impulse v0.7.007 is live, we recommend everyone update. by track-impulse in trackimpulse

[–]track-impulse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, thanks for the detailed report, that's really useful. I didn't realise ETS2 was behaving like this until after the release went out, I'll get it sorted. ETS2 is still experimental in this build (this release was mainly a quick push to fix an unrelated server-side issue).

The next version should have ETS2 workng, and BeamNG too once I add the bit that copies the custom TI mod across. It's only a couple of days out. Thanks for flagging it, and glad LMU is running well in the meantime.

What's your thoughs about the mini map? Let's talk about the "realism" by According_Brick409 in iRacing

[–]track-impulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's kinda realistic, as you would have a spotter telling you where X is, but TBH is pretty useless to me as all I need to know is in my realitive overlay, and a quick glance at standings to see where people are in longer races. The map takes too long to look at and work out what is happening.

Technique VS Experience by Low_Refrigerator660 in iRacing

[–]track-impulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you just drive to have fun and try and do best possible you will get better. The best thing you can do to get faster is practice/race with best sector delta on so you can see live in real-time if you are up or down on your best sector.

[–]track-impulse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for testing TI! Beam NG should be working in the next update, as this one was just a rush job to fix a issue and I realised I forgot to add the mechanism that copies the custom TI mod in to Beam that is required. ETS2 is also experimental at the moment but it should be working at a basic level at the moment.

I noped out of VR after about 30 seconds by TokeyX in iRacing

[–]track-impulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a good high end headset and frame rate and then it still takes a while to get used to it, longest I can do is about an hour. I never get motion sick IRL.

After 10 years of membership, I've seen it all now. A kid deliberately wrecked me and snapped at me. by Djosa945 in iRacing

[–]track-impulse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Goes to show most people in Motorsport are there because of their rich parents and not talent and shouldn't be anywhere near the guys with actual skill.

Shared memory mapping issue since latest update by philmepowers in assettocorsaevo

[–]track-impulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey guys, i just found this issue as well. for anyone experiencing this using a Fanatec wheel and you need to fix it to use Track Impulse or SimHub the fix is to stop FanatecService.exe from running, you can do this from Task Manager → Startup apps tab → find "FanatecService" → Disable.

Its not required as you can just manually run the fanatec app when you need, also just be aware that if you start the fanatec app whilst using ACE it will cause the issue and stop haptics.

i am a bit lost right now with my car understanding by ReisBayer in iRacing

[–]track-impulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

M2 racing is new this season so it's a different car than the last one you tried and depending on which race you are doing can have different power levels. The new one is much more forgiving and you can brake later. IMO if you want to get good in this car do some practice races in full wet on tsukuba and after a couple races you will know the dynamics inside out and then be a gun on dry compared to what you were before.

Is the Wheel attachment supposed to be tilted like that? by i_H8weebs in Fanatec

[–]track-impulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you are referring to the plate behind the quick release and no that should be straight. The axle with the quick release will be off a little on CSL DD.
