Given they can't seem to get their tyre flexing model right, will be interesting to see how their chassis flexing model turns out.... /Intrepid answer.

EDIT: Or do they already simulate that? :S

Quote from Kyle-Caz :

Ok whatever folks

Mate, one piece of advice.

Listen to the comments you can learn from or have a positive effect on you.

Do not listen or react to comments which you find negative. Which in fact is about 99% of all posts in this forum, unfortunately.

If you want to start a new server for LFS, you go ahead and see what you can make of it.

P.S. Dont start every word with a capital

You forgot the crashservers mate :splat:

Hi there,

Quote from The Moose :

Redland

I haven't had anyone saying I lag, I cant remember the last time I discoed, and my q meter is always green.

Oh wow, I'm at uni here so was in Stoke Bishop 1st year and in Clifton past 2 years

I don't think I've ever disco'd either and my q meter is good too. It's strange. It'll probably fix itself one day after Virgin have finished messing around!

Quote from DeKo :

On the Virgin forums there's a sticky at the top talking about how Bristol is well over-utilised, which will explain the lag. It's the jitter that's doing it.

Oooh interesting. Thanks.

Quote from DeKo :

Anyone on Virgin? What's the ping like? Just signed up for the 30 meg package. Was getting sick of 6 meg SkyBB anyway, and they have now disabled all gaming profiles, leaving my ping back up around 180, unplayable. Kept sky for tv and phone, believe me this is the cheapest and best way.

Quote from The Moose :

125 to the US servers, 40ish to the Nettherlands.

A touch higher during peak hours usually.

Thats on Virgin 60 meg from Bristol

My ping is fine (same as Stu's unsurprisingly!), just apparently I lag: http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/2750485.page, but that's literally only recently.

(I'm also on Virgin 60 meg in Bristol - where do you live Stu? :tilt

Raced Chuck Norris earlier. Shame he either can't find the brakes or use his Chuck Norris-ness to slow him down in time.....

Another karting video from me, bit more exciting this time:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulxb8ieEjr8

Me racing in the British Universities Karting Championship (the rookie champs. I'm a n00b! :P). Drove these karts for the first time ever in the dry that morning so still wasn't completely comfortable with them, (only the second time I'd ever driven outdoors in the dry!), still climbed up from 20th on the grid (random) to finish 5th which was our team's best result of the day. Really pleased with how the race went and looking forward to the next time.

LFS'ers were also racing in the "main" championship the day after, with multiple Vodafone DMAX podium winner person Joseph "JO53PHS" INSIDE ELLIS!!! Ellis helping Bath A to 7th in the overall standings, and Dan "dan_b23" Barber putting Nottingham A 19th in the standings.

Edit:
If I buy stuff to the game, and then forget to re-sub before the subscribtion time runs out, do I lose everything? Or will I be able to play with everything I bought to the account if I renew the gametime?

As Toki said, but you'll miss out on your annual subscription bonus thing.

Quote from menantoll :

I find at my level on road you spend so much of a race hot lapping on your own that it gets boring.

Exactly this. Almost every oval race I do is actually really good fun (I have a huge iRating compared to my license so I'm always in top split), but in the past couple of months I've only had one road race that I would describe as "fun".

I'm currently spending a bit too much money on RL racing to be able to spend much on iRacing. Buying the McLaren and a few tracks soon though. Might add some ovals then

Quote from Mustangman759 :

watching jack with the caddy... oh hes spun yet again

Not my fault baseline is unbelievably shite. I did 10 straight clean laps after you left! It's amazing how stupid the tyre model is. The other 2 people on server crawled round for a lap then went 2s a lap faster than me on their hotlap......

Quote from Mustangman759 :

that's the fastest line

Yes I did kind of assume he was trying to go fast rather than just because he wanted to play chicken with the wall.

Quote from JackDaMaster :

and Darlington, also very difficult

I saw a video on youtube of a class A around Darlington. It appeared he was playing a game of "let's see how close I can get to the wall and stay there for the entire lap".

Quote from menantoll :

They are very very different. Why not include Atlanta, Las Vegas, Chicagoland? To name a few other cookie cutters. All very different.

I thought the same as you before I started doing a lot more oval.

Oval also is a lot more about strategy than road. (excluding proper endurance road racing, before someone mentions it)

Sorry I should have put a :P at the end of that. I was being semi-sarcastic, I know what actually they are very different, but from the outside they're the same. I actually really enjoy oval racing in iRacing, mainly because I'm surprisingly good at it. Came in the top 30 in the last rookie street stock season (admittedly that's only R + D, but in an R+D road series I'd be nowhere near that good) and SS @ Charlotte is so much fun, because of the strategy of trying to pass someone.

It doesn't help that there's so many oval tracks. I'd be forking out >£100 if I wanted to run even anywhere near a full season in any high up oval series. And as there aren't many of them (and fixed schedule is the same as open), you could easily be in a point where I can't run anything high up for several weeks, unlike road. If I bought let's say the McLaren and the HPD, I'd easily have a choice of >D class road series to run every week. But on oval I wouldn't without spending alot of money

Quote from Mustangman759 :

jack.. why havent you bought the silverado and done 4 races in it yet? you would be class B

FTFY. (once I've done 3 more races in the National :P)

I can't afford the tracks at the moment. I have 1 (soon 2) tracks out of 12 on the Truck schedule, so there's no point in me buying it. I'm going for road because I can participate in most weeks already in one series if not all of them.

EDIT: Same applies to the SS C Class schedule. I have 2 tracks I think? [no wait 1. :P]

EDIT2: And the other thing about ovals is the lack of variety really. I've raced on both USA Speedway and Thompson. But what's the difference? They're both basically the same. Brake with ~50m to go. Turn in. Feather the throttle. Floor it out. Repeat. It's like getting Spa, changing the lengths of some of the straights, add some banking and voila, you have a new track. Apparently. I can see me buying a set of Ovals which are all nicely different. So say I might have Charlotte, Bristol, Martinsville, 'Dega, Daytona, Pocono, maybe Phoenix. But why would I buy Texas? It's basically the same as Charlotte?
