Sim Racing. General discussions and thoughts

Chepi with another inspirational video.

 

Interesting points made here I think, esp with the feel I have in this sim compared to May 2020 when I made the On the limit vid in thunderstorm. There are good reason why "Wll" , "Chepi" ,
"Remco" myself, you the reader? and others are having a blast.

Dam I should be working, or maybe I'll go for a drive and risk divorce?
May last year was a fun blast in this vid, and a lot has changed for the better, inc my driving EDIT )maybe not) and the AI;s but now

 

I'm not going to comment on sim vs other sim or the Youtube personality in question. But this video explains to me why I prefer the feel in AMS2. I also get a long really well with AC for the same reasons, but I just don't play it that often for some other reasons. It's almost too good of an explanation for why I prefer them over ACC and R3E in pure driving feel. The quicker I go, the more frustrated I get with the latter.

 

I agree. I was merely commenting on how easy it is to feel the limit. Maybe if it was less vague I would think different, but the priceless seat of the pants feel is there.

I tried iRacing again after a 9 year break two months ago. I was shocked by the default FFB. Completely based on secondary information especially in the Skippy which likes to rotate. I tried irFFB with some SoP added and wow what a difference in confidence. Getting the tail out (I mean a few degrees) was no problem in the Skippy. Rather than losing feel and turning into a spin unless corrected fully, I could embrace it and play with the limit.

 

Yes It reminded me of driving a week ago and what I felt whilst pushing the car, balancing on the limit .

Yes Look forward to more car Class's improving as Im sure they will.

HUGE

Agreed

Ha No doubt about it, Going to ramp up any ai in sessions you may join just so your not lonely out front.

 

Will at it again

 

Todays Friday coffee time videos are posted not only to enjoy over a morning coffee.
The 1st is Ams2 version of the Historic Spielbergh and apart from the fact I like the vid and love the track in these historic cars myself., the Gentleman refer's to a track anomaly which I have also notice myself and in previous online session causing an issue, and more than a few crashes, initially thought of a driver error. It could well be as infered in video a track mesh issue or an accurate "bump" in the track, not unlike "bump" at Interlagos historic outer ring, (considered to be accurate by myself, and not mesh issue..)
This track I will possibly report a "mesh" if not already done. but first more comments from users req'ed
Time stamp refs If you just want the "bump" comments
12.oo/ .13.50/.17.00/.20.00 Approximates & also at the end

The 2nd video is a rather informative and accurate Historic video of the tracks history/tragedies and mention of the tracks speed.
Please enjoy if its your Historic "cup of tea"
I would love to hear your thoughts from driving here, especially about the "anomoly" "bump'" in Ams2 version.
Edit tested today, slightly odd, most laps for me felt fine apart from 3 out of 20

 

Time stamp .23 secs.
Large nuts and car control

Not the sort of thing I see these last years.
Majic
LOL can almost feel him feathering throttle, drs sucks imo modernF1

 

Bumpy in car cam to
Yes rather splendid display of class and boll-cks.
Had fun relearning Bt44 in league race last night, trying to find new happy setup,lol getting there rr wing (less) biggest difference to bring back, back end alive. Fun

 

Not tried the much discuss Nords recently but the aero anomoly "the man" refered to and acknowledged your thoughts on that?

Always ran better stiff for me , but like I say a few miles in yesterday and "getting there"
May run to try that .46 sec just out out determination and forced resetting of setup to regain feel I had.
Sidenote. having thoughts on an "AMS2 invitation race" lock lobby, for those that trust each other? (like some test racers and others, or such) once a week.? nothing to formal or over serious

 

I see, I will test again sooner rather than later. Ramsayg felt happy last night also (took top step podium) Commented on Nords positive, not even going to look at his times !

 

Did not think mini's were so popular downnnn-unda
Old track looks good.
