Those guys need a more subtle approach to crashing into the other guy. lol. I thought those races had live stewards. I guess not. lol.

Not really. They keep saying that John Henry has to keep forking in money.

With their pricing structure I don't believe that for a second. Guys like John Henry don't get to be that rich by throwing money into a bottomless pit. I think they are doing just fine financially. Just my opinion though.

The 458 looks awesome!

I prefer the hillclimb.

Thanks for the help guys. I've turned down the FFB ingame to 15 and it seems to have come alive. It's subtle but I can feel it now.


BTW. Does LFS have a V8SC equal? Thanks.

The pace car gets stuck on pit road in oval racing? That's funny stuff.

Quote from Postman Pat :

Well, it feels the best to me off all sims. But I've heard the netcode isn't good.

And then there are bad aspects. The skid noise is ghastly. And in the garage, you start the engine and you begin rotating on the spot. Thinking aloud here, I believe the Pacejka magic formula is normally fitted to be optimised at a particular speed range...or something, and will produce worse behaviour at the other end. I thought NKP was meant to have a theoretical model rather than an empirical/Pacejka type, so I'm wondering what that's all about?

Then there are those invisible marshalls with yellow flags. I'm scared of those flags. I keep thinking they're operated by ghosts of dead racing drivers.

The latest update improved the netcode quite a bit. It's now raceable foresure. As for the sounds I like them. Very raw and unsynthesized, if that's a word. But I guess it's in the ear of the beholder. As far as I know the tire model in netkar is "theoretical" but I'm not sure. I know that if you slide around too much you heat em up and they get greasey. lol. Right now Kunos is the man in sim racing. hahaha.

Iracing never attracted me, I doubt it ever will be.
Rfactor neither, maybe with Rfactor2
NKPRO, didn't test it out lately but the UI really sucked when I tried it last year.
LFS until 2012, I agree.

If there is no news anymore when we enter 2012 then the focus here switches to NKPRO far more seriously. It's no coincidence that I choose a neutral name at the time .

Netkar is amazing. Biggest head scratcher for me about netkar is why there aren't more drivers.

I use 900 degress in the profiler.

I've posted my idea for pick up racing, well fun races every half hour, in the suggestions forum. I'm just waiting for the defence league to tell me how wrong I am now.

I posted in that thread as well.

I've got it turned on and turned down to 30. If I raise it higher than 30 it just makes the wheel "heavier". I still don't feel any lateral grip or connected to the road feeling.

I heard that LFS has good FFB and I'm just not feeling it. I use a fanatec gt3 rs. v2

Sifting through the forums including this one I get the impression that iracing has put out alot of empty promisses. I was a little surprised myself at some features that have been in sims since gtr2 are not even in iracing. I can't find people of my own skill level to race against either which is a little frustrating. There are the fast guys who are a second or two faster than me and there are guys who are two or three seconds slower than me all in the same race. I'm usually the last guy on the lead lap in the SM races...lol. I think I have a week to make up my mind I guess.

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

What do you mean? WoW is actually a pretty decent game with a lot of features. iRacing has lots of potential that isn't being realized and is too half baked for me to justify paying any more into it for now.

WoW is a great game! To some it's like a religious cult, just like iracing seems to be a cult with some members.

I was positive I wasn't going to continue with iracing but this latest 75 dollar deal has me thinking. iracing hasn't impressed me but I'm thinking of renewing. I think I'm an idiot.

....That forum is crazy. I signed up for the 3 months for 12 dollars deal to see what iracing was all about. iRacing is the simracing version of WoW. hahaha.

Hello all. I'm looking for a good sim with a decent amount of drivers and "fairly" good physics so I thought I'd give LFS a go. Does LFS have a V8SC equal? Thanks for reading.
