SimRacing General: successor to Forza/Gran Turismo/Racing thread - Games

[QUOTE=suXin;50003302]For some reason you can't restart league event and service is unavailable at the start, I thought I checked these. Event went relatively clean for me, had one missed square corner and one head on with a tree, still I'm too much behind Hosen, but I beat him by a couple of seconds on the last stages. I wonder if you had problems there or something because I didn't feel like I pushed faster than at the beginning.[/QUOTE] Engine was starting to lack power because over-revving is apparently a thing and I keep it floored even when I've took off from a jump and I probably whacked the radiator on some landing and it got hot. That or I started to ease off in order to not wreck.

My time has come, I'm beginning to hate the ditches in Finland. Each time I go into one my car flips over or hops straight in the air. Even though I pretty much destroyed my Peugot, I think I did pretty well finishing third.

[QUOTE=Hosenfuhrer;50005719]FTFY. Fuckin' Jordax.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I had a really good League Event for once. Decided to pick the Ibiza since I seem to do well with it on Dailies, especially on gravel stages. Had one small accident though, on the second stage (Oksala). Went off in that sharp, bumpy left four with that rock formation and crowd on the outside of the turn. Clipped that formation and barrel rolled the car, lost about 5-7 seconds as I was lucky to land on the wheels. Clear sailing for the rest of the stages. One issue I ran into though, is that no service areas without changing countries, also means that your car won't get cleaned at all. And the Ibiza is one of those cars whose windscreen can get insanely dirty to the point that it is getting hazy-looking. Normally, you wouldn't notice as much, but after 5-6 stages you definitely start to notice, especially in areas without any shadows. Even turning on the windwipers wouldn't help much. That aside, I still seemed to be really quick on most stages, ended up in the Top 20 on some stages during the League Event.

I can testify to the ibiza having some really terrible mist problems. [t]http://i.imgur.com/pIsifmW.jpg[/t] [IMG]http://www.driverknowledgetests.com/resources/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/windscreen-demister-206x300.jpg[/IMG]

anyone have any good modern racing sims for someone who loved GT3's career mode and assortment of cars, that isn't sub based

[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkzK6Hbt89A[/media] Started 2 days ago, I'm doing pretty well I think

Tried Dirt Rally with my steering wheel instead of my controller. The game went from pure fun to pure terror.

for anyone hosting leagues, if you have event restart on does that allow people who have retired to restart as well? just I made a league for a few friends but one of them retired and claims he can't restart it as he doesn't have the option. I went and done the first stage and quit, and I do have the option to restart so I'm not sure what's going on with it.

I changed my H-shifter build a bit again and now it has an analogue handbrake!

Psygo retired and couldn't restart either.

[QUOTE=suXin;50020772]I'm really not sure, I had 'Event restart' checked on Finalnd Kit Car race and couldn't restart after I finished. Psygo retired and couldn't restart either.[/QUOTE] See I was thinking event restart might just let you redo it if you have not yet retired, but then that would be kind of pointless because most people who would probably want to restart are people who have crashed out. Now I'm not sure if racenet/leagues are bugged or just my friend's game, or if it's working to design. I'll have to look into it a bit more maybe. Thanks anyway haha.

[QUOTE=suXin;50020772]I'm really not sure, I had 'Event restart' checked on Finalnd Kit Car race and couldn't restart after I finished. Psygo retired and couldn't restart either.[/QUOTE] i think it half bugged out, I had a big crash on kakaristo, rage quit, and when I came back to the league page again, I could start that stage. Bit late to check for event restarts tho.

What's a good next class after Group B?

[video=youtube;bkxgu1HYhbs]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkxgu1HYhbs[/video] Honestly a really hard race, it may be Forza but it's still the highest division in the league :v:

Looks like I ain't going to finish a Dirt Rally monthly for the first time. The Finland stages seem to have terminally damaged the Radiator on the 306 to the point that even when repairing the Radiator back to 100%, it depletes back to 0% within two small stages. I spent the entire Sweden leg of the Monthly bringing the Radiator back to 80-100%, occurring around three and a half minutes of time penalties on only fixing the Radiator, but it seems to have had no use at all. The radiator is terminally hossed, and with only 27% of the Engine left due to that, along with the Exhaust being on 33% ever since the Finland stages, and the Suspension also starting to break down while being halfway through the monthly, it seems that the only option left is to just throw in the towel on this one. Oh well, that is also part of Rallying sadly enough.

I made a mistake. And the mistake was coming to this thread when I have no access to my wheel for 6 months. :cry: I miss going sideways at 150km/h so much :(

the hennessey venom is one of the most fun cars to drive in forza 6

The dirt late model racing looks crazy, defiantly going to try it out. With the 3 month updates there almost always adding something cool to iracing like tire pickup in the last build

[QUOTE=Bugga12;50049848]That video looks very April Fools material. The guy inspecting the dirt, lmao.[/QUOTE] It does, and it makes me sad. :cry:

this is the worst rally I ever had recently
