Is the Skippy any better now or is it still a piece of shit?

It's not as fun any more but it drives more like the real thing. The NTM is half finished rubbish i cant believe they can release shit like that. Im so glad i haven't bought any of the new content.

iRacing 2.0 - ripping you off on an entirely different level.

how do i get in touch with his agent. i'd like the job of repairing a Mclaren F1 supercar

A person from Laos talking about somebody being 'bitches for X to abuse'? Seriously? :ices_rofl

Who is from Laos?

I recently visited Llandow & there is a great kart track there (1km long). Its not far from g-force & well worth a visit.

which kart track did you guys race at this year?

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

Wait a minute.....are you saying that half your rants are based on petty and ill-informed opinions?






becasue I base all my rants on being petty and ill-informed

Hey mackie, f&ck you :finger:
this argument was 50/50 technically neither of us was right.

Quote from The Moose :

Indeed. But lets face it, Ant doesn't let facts get in the way of him having a good rant about iRacing.

I do enjoy a good rant but i think your both clutching at straws here.
(The facts/truth do matter, in fact thats what usually triggers half of my rants tbh. )

What's the difference between the two deals? Your gona spend the money on content anyway?
I looked at the old $30 content offer as a $70 membership. The new offer is a $75 membership. AKA they are lying to their customers.

I guess its open to interpretation, but you have to admit they do like to stretch the truth from time to time.

@ Jack, nothing wrong with Hiper psu's. They are good quality & reliable.
Luke if your looking to sell your e8400 i'd be interested.

Quote from AstroBoy :

Save $25 when you renew your iRacing membership for 1-year before July 31st. This is our best renewal price of the year so now is your chance to extend your membership in anticipation of the full iRacing 2.0 release scheduled for this August.

Just a reminder that this is actually a lie. IT IS NOT THE BEST RENEWAL PRICE OF THE YEAR. iR already gave us $30 off renewal price earlier this year. Bunch of idiots don't know their arse from their elbow. iRacing maybe on the verge of something big but jeez they're full oshit.

How about an MX5/MR2 or Punto GT? (budget options)
or Integra Type R if you wanna splash the cash.

Guess the track & corner?

Old news but:

Early on Wednesday 4th May 2011, in the skies above Mojave Air and Spaceport CA, SpaceShipTwo, the world’s first commercial spaceship, demonstrated its unique re-entry ‘feather’ configuration for the first time. This test flight, the third in less than two weeks, marks another major milestone on the path to powered test flights and commercial operations.
SpaceShipTwo (SS2), named VSS Enterprise, has now flown solo seven times since its public roll-out in December 2009 and since the completion of its ground and captive -carry test program.


This latest flight saw a 6:43AM (local) runway take off for VSS Enterprise, attached to its WhiteKnightTwo (WK2) carrier aircraft, VMS Eve. At the controls of the of the spaceship were Scaled Composites’ test pilots Pete Siebold and Clint Nichols whilst Mark Stucky, Brian Maisler and Brandon Inks crewed the purpose built, all composite, twin fuselage WK2.
After a 45 minute climb to the desired altitude of 51,500 feet, SS2 was released cleanly from VMS Eve and established a stable glide profile before deploying, for the first time, its re-entry or “feathered” configuration by rotating the tail section of the vehicle upwards to a 65 degree angle to the fuselage. It remained in this configuration with the vehicle’s body at a level pitch for approximately 1 minute and 15 seconds whilst descending, almost vertically, at around 15,500 feet per minute, slowed by the powerful shuttlecock-like drag created by the raised tail section. At around 33,500 feet the pilots reconfigured the spaceship to its normal glide mode and executed a smooth runway touch down, approximately 11 minutes and 5 seconds after its release from VMS Eve.


All objectives for the flight were met and detailed flight data is now being analysed by the engineers at Scaled Composites, designers and builders of Virgin Galactic’s sub-orbital spacecraft.
George Whitesides, CEO and President of Virgin Galactic, said: “This morning’s spectacular flight by VSS Enterprise was its third in 12 days, reinforcing the fast turnaround and frequent flight-rate potential of Virgin Galactic’s new vehicles. We have also shown this morning that the unique feathering re-entry mechanism, probably the single most important safety innovation within the whole system, works perfectly. This is yet another important milestone successfully passed for Virgin Galactic, and brings us ever closer to the start of commercial operations. Credit is due to the whole Scaled team, whose meticulous planning and great skill are changing the course of history.”


Pete Siebold, who along with Clint Nichols piloted the spaceship added:
“In all test flight programs, after the training, planning and rehearsing, there comes the moment when you have to go up there and fly it for real. This morning’s flight was a test pilot’s dream. The spaceship is a joy to fly and the feathered descent portion added a new, unusual but wonderful dynamic to the ride. The fact that it all went to plan, that there were no surprises and that we brought VSS Enterprise back to Mojave safe and sound is a great testament to the whole team.”
Wing Feathering for Re-Entry
Perhaps the most innovative safety feature employed by SpaceshipOne and now SpaceShipTwo is the unique way it returns into the dense atmosphere from the vacuum of space. This part of space flight has always been considered as one of the most technically challenging and dangerous and Burt Rutan was determined to find a failsafe solution which remained true to Scaled Composite’s philosophy of safety through simplicity. His inspiration for what is known as the feathered re-entry was the humble shuttlecock, which like SpaceShipTwo relies on aerodynamic design and laws of physics to control speed and attitude.
Once out of the atmosphere the entire tail structure of the spaceship can be rotated upwards to about 65º. The feathered configuration allows an automatic control of attitude with the fuselage parallel to the horizon. This creates very high drag as the spacecraft descends through the upper regions of the atmosphere. The feather configuration is also highly stable, effectively giving the pilot a hands-free re-entry capability, something that has not been possible on spacecraft before, without resorting to computer controlled fly-by-wire systems. The combination of high drag and low weight (due to the very light materials used to construct the vehicle) mean that the skin temperature during re-entry stays very low compared to previous manned spacecraft and thermal protection systems such as heat shields or tiles are not needed. During a full sub-orbital spaceflight, at around 70,000ft following re-entry, the feather lowers to its original configuration and the spaceship becomes a glider for the flight back to the spaceport runway.

Quote from GreyBull [CHA] :

I think he wanted to point out that Oulton Park still hasn't been released, despite being announced more than 2 years ago.

That is disappointing for sure. Coupled with wasting there time on gimmicks like driver aids & racing line, iRacing is taking to long to improve the core sim.
They make a big thing over NTM but most people forget that only one man was working on it out of the 30 strong team (+ beta testers).
So the question has to be asked what the heck do the rest of them do?

They must have a list of improvements as long as my arm but all we get build after build is tiny little things here & there. To claim that driver swaps was a big complicated project was an absolute joke & that wasted time & money in Brazil shows how organised they are.

me no understand ?

price reduced - open to sensible offers. thx

Quote from himself :

LMP2+GT1+GT2 resembles ALMS series or any Le Mans series for that matter. What's wrong with that?

It will cost an extra $36 just to race in it. Thats whats wrong.
Lets say you only like the LMP2 & you want to race it, well you cant unless you buy all the other cars in the class.

Quote from StableX :

The shit part to me is that they did say, when bringing out the Multiclass, that having to purchase all the content was temporary and this would be changed. I guess not any more

Can you remember where they said that? I'd love to quote that back at them & watch them squirm. The multi-class thing better be temporary or else.

Yeah about as big as writing a simple webpage/database that displays/logs information. A few hours of code to allow another player to jump into your car during a pit stop. Maybe a few hours interface work on top of that.
These features are a million miles away from being "complicated"!.
Not only that but you create it once & paste it over its not like he will have to start from scratch just to add the same feature to hosted races.

This is the biggest load of bul!sh&t i have ever read from iRacing. (Blatant Lies!) They pissed everyone off with the ntm delay. 2.0 is sounding more & more like a load of marketing B.S. & hype than actual product. I bet the ntm is not on all cars in August. They will come up with more & more excuses as they fail to deliver over & over again.

A lot of people are complaining about how they force (blackmail) you to buy extra content just so you can continue to race a car that you have already paid for. iRacing refuse to comment on this. They are so busy raking in the cash they have not updated their local road course lime rock which was resurfaced in 2008. They do not have plans to update it this year.
So a sim which claims to have the most accurate tracks (bar none) will gladly let you drive around on tracks which ceased to exist more than three years ago. Further more they dont even label them correctly.

I hope the law catches up with them. You cant sell battery eggs as free range, there are laws which protect consumers from being mislead. I have a feeling that its all about to go horribly wrong at iRacing. I for one will not be renewing or buying any new content untill they treat their customers with some respect & stop trying to rip them off.

/end rant

Rouse fault imo, he tries to push Hoy to the middle of the track when he should really be backing down & slotting in behind. Hoy has the inside so Rouse has no chance of passing him with only half a cars overlap as the next corner is another fast right hander. Rouse had the red mist no doubt.

You will have to create it with a slightly different name. I used Ant & Anthony in my case, a lot of people simply put a 2 after there surname.

Quote from evilpimp :

Do existing members ever get any promotions to renew their memberships? I had it for a month back in 2007 and I wouldn't mind giving it another shot, and I will wether there is a promotion or not but I'm just wondering if it ever happens that existing members get promotions too.

Yes existing members do get some small promos, but if you only have the standard content i.e. you didn't purchase any extra stuff then just start a new account when the next good promo comes up.

Some of the promos have been so good i wish i'd have waited. The F1 one included $30 of content when you signed up.
The Zandy + 1 month for $5 was also a steal.

I'd guess with the upcoming release of the LMP2 & GT40 + Suzuka there will be another promo in the pipeline. Just bide your time.

Existing members sometimes get $3 off new pieces of content, the $70 annual deal & the participation bonus. If your good, you could run money races for some doe.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

I have some issues in the last chicane @ Spa. The sim simply slows down in the middle of the chicane, like I'm watching a slowmo onboard. Then at the exit point it's fine again. Happens in every single lap, annoying.

[email protected]

The more people that complain, the more chance they will do something about it.
I refuse to purchase Spa until they've actually finished it.
