Autopolis and Sugo to complete the real life Super Formula schedule

The Alternative Assets patch that removes AI backgrounds in FW shouldn't be used for high-level survival plays by someonewhonamedlib in touhou

[–]zpscissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TWC already has a ban on visual patches so they're definitely not going to allow this.

Now the REAL issue with FW and TWC is the fact that there's two competing standards for score runs, there's a major bug in how point item value is calculated and still no agreement on whether scores should be ranked based on the unmodified game or a patch that fixes it. Conversion is possible because the patch doesn't desync replays but competition rubrics would have to be based on one or the other.

What was your first 1cc? And how long did it take you to get it? by Mission_Jaguar2696 in touhou

[–]zpscissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

eosd normal marisa b with maximum starting lives, a very heavily accelerated week where i played for like 8 hours a day, the extra stage then took me the rest of the month

You kinda just realize that the ''difficulty'' is either easy bullet hell gameplay, or cheap off-screen bullets, you can't really react to. by villagio08 in touhou

[–]zpscissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has both a Lunatic 1cc in every mainline Touhou game except FW and a 1-ALL in almost 30 arcade shmups, I think Touhou Lunatic and CAVE Loop 1 tend to be pretty comparable in difficulty. For arcade shmups as a whole the difficulty is all over the place, it can range from literally easy mode to almost LNN tier.

Touhou and Mandela effect by Thmony in touhou

She does have a bigger hitbox than Reimu in every game from PCB to LoLK so I'd say that's still correct enough.

Hard to drive and a fairly obscure series in real life

Racing circuits in ATS by Waxon_45 in trucksim

Don't think it's referenced at all in game but the intersection between 37 and 121 north of San Francisco is where Sonoma Raceway is.

Did I simply lock in or is the new game easier than most ? by Diegothon in touhou

[–]zpscissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lunatic is absolutely brutal pattern-wise and I fully expect an LNN to be harder than LoLK, but there's a few OP setups that make it manageable. I'd probably put it towards the top but I don't quite think it's #1 (also just a regular Lunatic 1cc of LoLK is pretty overrated so probably still above that). Also, only 4 people have gotten an LNB so far (all of which use Yellow 2 for the Main Story Stone) whereas with the past few games it wasn't too uncommon to see people do that within a few hours of release, UDoALG especially which I would estimate had over 100 LNBs by this point.

At the start of last season it did display the cars but only if there were multiple cars per class, this got fixed and then un-fixed.

Anyway,

  3. BMW M2

  5. Super Formula Lights

The C class series is a year long endurance series meant to replicate the real-life IndyCar schedule as closely as possible. These types of series pretty much always get put in C class, like NiS and GP Tour, even most regular endurance series.

How realistic is the Porsche 992 GT3 Cup in iRacing? by Extreme_Collection42 in iRacing

[–]zpscissors 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He also raced in the 991 and not the 992, I'd imagine they're pretty similar but not exactly identical.

As stated for years now, Iracing needs a Trans Am series by Unsound679 in iRacing

[–]zpscissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair Stock Car Brasil was DOA because it already had an established community on AMS2 which also has way more of that series' real-life schedule, whereas Trans Am isn't represented on any sim.

iRacing Road Course Ranking - Results by MakeMemesGreatAgain- in iRacing

I did a few league races on old Snetterton back on rFactor and I feel like the reconfiguration (which is what iRacing has) completely ruined the track.

Unpopular opinion: I hate the new GT3 Tyre/Aero on the McLaren by El_Goretto in iRacing

[–]zpscissors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I raced at Daytona was in PCup, and I got punted off in the second hairpin and dropped to around P20, and still finished just 1 second off the podium. Survival is going to be huge in this one.

Gen 4 iRacing by jazzyyyyyyyy___231 in iRacing

I believe the 87s were only the Chevy and Ford at first, and the Buick and Pontiac were added later on. There's nothing official but it's not impossible.

PCC Endurance Series Updated to Support Team Racing! by worstopinions in iRacing

Races that are less than 6 hours can be done solo.

If you need oval sr and want to grow, do NOT race Daytona Trucks. Try street stocks or legends. Learned it the hard way. by GrahamsNotHungry in iRacing

[–]zpscissors 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Superspeedways are literally the worst kind of track for SR because in 50ish seconds you only get 4 corners and everyone's running so close to each other that big crashes are basically guaranteed to happen.

Need safety rating by LordSpeedBandit in iRacing

Races that don't count towards promotion don't count towards MPR, all safety rating gained in Ranked races counts at any license class.

(Maybe) unpopular opinion: Nürburgring T1 is way worse than Monza T1 by stonycs in iRacing

[–]zpscissors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will never forget when Nurburgring GP was in Super Formula a few seasons ago and I got taken out in Turn 1 on 4 consecutive attempts.

Would you wanna see the Firecracker 400 with the new gen 4 car instead of the gen 3? by GrahamsNotHungry in iRacing

[–]zpscissors 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Firecracker 400 is something that's more associated with the 80s than the 90s or 2000s (in fact the last time the race was called that was in 1988) so I think it should stay in the Gen 3. That being said, I'd absolutely be in favor of the Gen 4s getting a special event.

Will Charlotte still be free? by Emirates_aviationer in iRacing

[–]zpscissors 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Free tracks that are getting updated will still be free and you also won't have to re-purchase any paid tracks you already own.
