[PC] iRacing

[Garrett67]

Flight sim stuff is on the floor right now lol

I had to move my PC last night so I had better access to it.

Now, since I have the wheel stand, I had to put my keyboard up on my desk and pull the monitor about 8" closer to me.

I just ran with the H-shifter. Damn, that is difficult. I didn't think driving with a stick would be so hard, especially since I owned several in real life. I keep missing 4th gear so I might have to run through the wizard again.


I'll take a picture in a few but it isn't the final setup, although its probably close and won't have flight yoke and pedals.

I mounted the power supply behind the post, I tried putting it under the pedal but it wouldn't reach to fit between the brackets





I have to have an ugly rug because I have a chair with wheels and I would roll away otherwise.

Its nice, I'm still tinkering a bit with pressures but I like how it feels right now.

I said in an earlier post that I was getting 84 FPS and just noticed it was capped. I put it on unlimited and now sitting in the pit (with no other cars on track) at Laguna Seca, I'm at 259 FPS. So, the game looks pretty good and its smooth. I can imagine it will take a hit with many cars on the track though but should still be smooth. Mind you, its no Assetto Corsa but its nice.


Oh, and Go Tigers !

This game is depressing.

 

[Garrett67]

Ouch!

That hill is a bitch. Did that a few times.

 

[Swarley]

That was quite an impact.

I don't know how people run 1:00 laps. I think my best is 1:09 something. I had a 1:11 in an official practice but I kept losing it.

I am going to list my Microsoft wheel and just now looked on ebay for completed listings. I look at one and think, 'that sounds good, I'll copy that one, hey! That name looks familiar' LOL

Haha, yeah I just listed it last week. I was surprised it sold so fast.

Forgot to mention, if anyone signs up from now on (you know you want to JMS), make sure to use me or Garrett as a referral and we can use the free $10 iRacing.com credit we get for the referral to either host some one-off races or even use it for the $10/year fee for opening a league.

When I get a gaming PC iRacing will be one of the first things I do. I'd love to race NASCAR on this thing, console NASCAR gets pretty frustrating online.

I know JBauer races oval. I'm not sure how much the rest of us will race oval, but I definitely plan on wetting my whistle in the Rookie Street Stock series for a couple races when I'm not doing road course stuff. Then the Carburetor Cup uses the Gen 6 cars and is open to everyone without any iRating or Safety Rating penalties at stake, so if/when I purchase a Gen 6 car, I'll probably try that out as well.

when i get a wheel i may eventually try this, wheel just isnt in the budget right now. Also need to practice up racing in cockpit view since i heard thats the only racing view in iracing. I've seen people try to use a controller for this and fail miserably lol

And how's that going? How many have you been able to string together?

 

[Garrett67]

1 LOL

I don't really know. I'm used to the clutch and shifter so I will try later.

I can't worry about my lap times since it really doesn't matter now. I will go into a race (when I finally get the balls) and just try to stay on the track and not hit anyone. I was going to do a qualifying and race today but I was gone most of the day.

 

[Garrett67]

Got a few laps with other cars present. I was a ghost car but it didn't matter, I didn't hit anyone anyway. The nice thing is that you still get audible warnings from your spotter.

My times are great but I'm getting more consistent and getting a feel for the car, and the track.
