Quote from bbman :

It's week-old explanations why a car with ridiculous front bias rights itself.

What iRacing is doing wrong is apparently losing too much lateral traction with longitudinal slip (confirmed by Eric Hudec) and shifting weight to the rear with throttle even though the wheels aren't moving, therefore speeding up the yaw correction instead of halting it. This last has been found out via telemetry output LAST WEEK.

Weight shift occurs due to torque on driven wheels. Wheels spinning put limited torque relative to limited (dynamic) slip of spinning wheels. With weight shifted rear it should be easier to lock fronts for a moment. I cant imagine iRacing have it all wrong.
Although it should momentarily shift weight to front (as torque around rear axis is neutralized by torque around front axis), creating bigger braking force.

But with very light and stiff front, big front brake bias, big braking force and ability to spin rear wheels - it can be possible. I have buggy with 90% mass on rear. At some circumstances (slippy dirt) it can be very understeery under heavy braking and rear wheels spin. I had to make front as grippy as possible (tires, soft springs) to balance it.

psstt.. I saw you cause a crash last night jack..

nope, he is being overtaken every time... when not racing. Just stop him racing, he will be overtaken e-v-e-r-y-time

Quote from Hyperactive :

Anyways, here's the newest development:

It doesnt look like a bug, it looks like a feature - when you have rears spinning and fronts locked.

So this is the new thing after owling, planking and the rest? Dry humping? Dude......

When I see something like this I think - why would anybody EVER WILL to live in such environment???

I suspect this might be 'shopped...

I don't think you're old enough to have lived during WWII, as that's the only regime under which said aphorisms would have had some sort of validity.

I lived under communist rule. Luckily, they didnt send at this time to lagers to teach you that but had much subtle ways. Bah, the methods didnt really changed.

too long... bring summary...

"You are not special" - individualistic equality?
I know translation of that slogan from more harsh (totalitarian) environment: "Your life means nothing and can be replaced or wasted". Beware.

Quote from ACCAkut :

no, it reads the ADS-B transponder signals that most planes transmit (there are other formats, but those apparently can't be read by amateurs), with receivers that plane spotters/aircraft enthusiasts put up themselves. Each receiver has a range of up to 400km.

A normal cell phone shouldn't have signal at 37k feet

I dont know a mobile phone or even smartest smartphone with such receiver - thus it has to localize itself and gather data from servers to compare its position and planes around.

well, the CryEngine usage has been [post=1691652]discussed there[/post] also

Quote from Crashgate3 :

From what I gather, it's mostly done by amateur enthusiasts with equipment that can read the transponder signals and transmit it to the website (read the 'increase coverage' link on the website)


And you don't get many amateur ATC enthusiasts in the middle of the atlantic..

I thought it compares GPS data in your phone with actual planes positions given that planes in air rarely go in distance closer than couple of kilometers.

Quote from Flame CZE :

Merged two threads about that particular video.

to be perfect with cleaning effect you should include also Far Cry thread

And what would/does it show when two pass close by (both?) or at the airport (full list?)?
