Quote from ATHome :

Using a mouse to play LFS is like pleasing a woman with an vibrator. The result might be the same, but it's not involving at all.

Just not true, a double ended vibrator is what you need!

Quote from anttt69 :

Because oval sucks & the iracing system isn't refined enough to make close calls. (it often blames the wrong racer)

I had the same thing in oval legends. Some dude changed down too early in front of me & lost the back end, as he came down the track he collected me desperately trying to avoid him & I got -100 irating for an accident that he caused.

I was pissed. When i renew im going to report the incident to try & get my points back.

It really does straighten itself out eventually mate. For sure there is less accidents in iRacing than in both other sims and real life racing even?....I know I've been at it nearly a year and seen both the good and the bad

Where's my mother on that list?

Did I hear someone mention CTRA? or a similar? can't wait for that

Quote from Rappa Z :

Got in a race with Marcos Ambrose in the legends, was hoping I could race him but I got wrecked in the classic t1 incident.

Nice one mate, I hope you never wrecked him? lol

"And it doesn't help that it takes about 10 seconds to buy something new, really hard to hold yourself back some times when its that easy."

Yes I have that very problem...no regrets though.

Yep been with AOL for about 10 years and they are really starting to pee me off with random disconnects.

Grrr, no offence but the butt hole Indian tech reps are completely clueless.

Emm, so does anyone actualy use this wheel now?

To be honest the wheel looks like a christmas decoration gone wrong. What are all the switches for, or what would they be used for? As for the wheel clutch then lmao what a pile of poopey doops

Quote from StableX :

I'm getting the FORD GT - damn right!

Where are you douche bag, I need some competition sick of beating everyone in lFS :P

(I wish)

Oh dear, not much luck there mate Things can only get better!

Quote from SilverArrows77 :

The more i read here and look at iRacing vids etc, the more interested I am becoming in giving this a go.

New PC coming in next month, plus a G25 to replace the MOMO - think then i will definately be handing over some money for a subscription

It's easy for us lot to build iRacing up, it's not great, trying to do set-ups is a nightmare due to the tyre modeling, let alone the lack of transmission modeling.

What is great is the tracks and the FFB as well as the guarenteed clean racing. When I say clean I mean everyone trying to be clean, doesn't always work that way.

If you like Oval then there is nothing out there even to compare or comes close to iRacing.

The system with iRating and safety rating, although flawed, is as good as you will ever get with online racing. It's like the LFS CTRA but with getting punished for bad driving automatically.

Also wherr as the CTRA system gave you points gallore for the number of races you enter, the iRacing system gives you points for where you finish....i.e. the better you are the more points (iRating) you gain regardless of how often you race.

So for someone that has 10 hours a week or 140 hours a week to spend it doesn't matter.

Anyway in conclusion.

LFS was the first online racing that got me hooked, bravo, I actually really like the simbin sims, regardless of the slagging they get, the cars tracks and fun is great. rfactor just doesn't do it for me uynfortunately

iRacing is a league on it's own right now when everything is considered.


I haven't speel checked or even read this post so sorry for any mistakes

Dave,

On the home page go into STATS then pick DRIVERS, you can then see rankings based on iRatings for both the Road and Oval. At present you need an iRating of 3057 to be in the top 250 for road and an iRating of 3145 to be in the top 250 for Oval.

Quote from Crommi :

Top250 is suprisingly easy, if you're Finnish

Corrected.

I must say it's not that easy, maybe I should try some other car as most of the guys driving the Radical are way better than me unfortunately

To be in the top 250 you must have some Alien tendancies? Have you looked in the mirror recently? notice even a hint of green skin and large eyes?

Nah, that's Grandpa Rodgers. He knew how much I liked racing games even back then, but Logitech hadn't come up with the Momo Force yet. So, he built me that wheel controller for me for computer racing games.

Hehe, yes that is a very nice wheel

Quote from Micha :

there exists a helmet skin with a big smile and crazy eyes painted on. Thats freaky when you dont expect it.

Luckily someone took a picture!

No way are you 15 there mate, you must be lying about your age ya old sod!

Quote from el pibe :

i admit im not clean when driving it. but im still fast.

Whit? Can you hear what you're saying?

What's the point of being fast if your not clean? go and hotlap if that's your idea of racing.

I should know better but I did laugh at the the thread title, I also though it said Butt plug.

Than after watching the link I really ROLFed.

One day i will grow up....one day!

Check out Novatech, they now ship to Europe. Their price for the G25 is not bad at all. £148.35 including VAT is as cheap as I've seen them anywhere TBH
