[PC] iRacing

Awesome.

So it's $1 per 2 hour session, so we'll be good for quite some time. I figured we can start off with a goof-off session just practicing and maybe run a short race. Then after that we can look at setting up weekly races. We'll definitely have to throw in an enduro at some point .

So let me know what night you guys want to run the first session and I'll set it up (this Thursday is no-go for me).

JMS, sent you a FR and league invite.

talked to Juan Valencia aka GiantEsco and he said why he doubts he gets an xbox one for forza anytime soon he could see himself getting a wheel as he has always wanted to try out iRacing. Would be good to get him racing again no matter the game

Now, I'd honestly rather see him on iRacing with us.

Best Lap - 1:59 - :lol2:

You just need to block Forza driving from your mind when driving in this game.

I started with the same time. You will get used to it. You're not only not used to the game but also using a wheel.

On track, hold ESC, option menu on the right. Swarley will help, I'm laying in bed.

my force feedback is grayed out.

I set mine up initially with the Logitech profiler. Might be able to with just game controller in windows but not sure if you could set sensitivities.

Hey guys old time iracing addict. In fact I was racing back since the Papyrus years. This thread definitely brings back memories and the urge to get back on the track not sure if it has changed but the sim racing community there was very "Gentleman Like" and helpful... I guess that is what you get when you pay to play.

Will be checking this thread for your guys progress. In the meantime remember "slower is faster"

You can do it in windows, goto control panel and type 'game controllers' in the search box.

It will bring up USB game controllers, Click that , goto the wheel . AT the bottom, goto settings.


Give me a sec.. You should see this....
You get the right window from settings button

My in game settings as of now.

I do have the Logitech Profiler installed, so maybe that is why I have the settings (and wheel picture) in game controllers.

Another Papyrus guy! I played the hell out of their games as a kid. Indianapolis 500 The Simulator, NASCAR Racing 1 and 2, IndyCar Racing 1 and 2. Some great times. We're having a lot of fun with this. If you ever do decide to get back in, let us know and we'll invite you to our league on there.

EDIT: And yes, I love the community. Forza community is mostly idiotic and terrible to race with. Here you mostly have people who love sim-racing just as much as you. It's great.

 

[jms493]

That worked...thanks.

No Spring Effect or Damper Effect? No centering either?

 

[Garrett67]

I don't use them and when I set mine up, I either watched a video or read it on a forum where that isn't used.

I don't know what it does. You can play with the settings in iRacing. I've been wanting to turn it up a bit anyway.

 

[Swarley]

I have 0 Damping. Don't see those other options tho.



I think I feel like doing a little oval racing tonight since Street Stock is back at Charlotte. Seems like a much easier track to up my oval SR rather than the short track where it's impossible not to hit anyone or anything.
