iRacing doesn't seem to want to fix any of those issues though, all we need is MORE CONTENT

I guess I'd pay $50 for it, $100 tops. Main reason I don't want to upgrade is the hassle. With the release candidate I couldn't go straight from XP to 7, can the full release do that? I don't feel like having to install everything again. I guess I'll hold off until the next hard drive reformat. Honestly though, if they're trying to charge almost $200 for it, I may look around the net for it first.

Quote from kingcars :Dang, I like how everybody here seems to be manual fans...the majority of stuff here is automatic . A little piece inside me dies every time I see a muscle car or sports car with an automatic (which is horribly common here).

Yeah, unfortunately this is true. I wanted to get a manual on my last car, which is a sports car, but they didn't even offer it. It does have that fake slap shifter thing though, which I hated at first but I use it every once and a while and once you get used to it you can get the car to do what you want the majority of the time. Still not the same as a manual though.

Can't believe Kahne ended up holding off Stewart and Ambrose but he did have a really strong car.

I'm pulling for Montoya to make the chase. Seems like a lot of people don't like him, but when he first came over to Nascar I really got the sense that he wasn't just doing it for money, but he really wants to win a championship some day and I like seeing how his team is improving as time goes on. He's been putting up a lot of solid finishes lately, good to see.

Quote from Intrepid :Alonso speaking his brain - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/h ... t/formula_one/8108300.stm

He mentions coming to the US to race. Would be cool, but I don't see it happening.

As someone already said, hopefully this whole thing turns out better than the CART/IRL split.

Well since you don't want to hear about other monitors, I'll just say get one of the 1920 ones, you definitely want the higher resolution.

Hah, even better is going to the trailers for the new Gran Turismo or Forza games and see the fanboys talk about how realistic the physics are.

Double file restarts seemed to work pretty well, we were in the infield on the fence in turn one so it was definitely more exciting having them come by 3-wide on the restarts. I wasn't listening to the broadcast most of the race but it seemed like the lap down cars can use some rule to get their lap back by not pitting under caution? Seems strange but will probably only work on a couple tracks.

Awesome to see Tony get the win, we had a lot of Stewart fans in our group so it was pretty exciting getting to see him work his way up through the pack. Then with one to go the radio guys said he was out of fuel and we were all flipping out, only to have him come back past us still going strong.

As big as he is into sim racing, it would be interesting to know if he's at least given it a try. He does seem to be mostly an oval guy in iRacing though so LFS probably doesn't have much appeal to him.

Quote from lizardfolk :well this is nothing new to iRacing players BUT.... I still find this article interesting

http://www.nascar.com/2009/new ... .online.racing/index.html

(ZOMG JR HAS A G25 WOOT)

I don't think that's his home setup, pretty sure I've seen it in videos and he has ECCI or something, it wasn't a G25. I don't even think that's Junior, he doesn't wear glasses.

Double file restarts this weekend! They should have had this rule a long time ago, glad they made the change.

Now I'm hoping Pocono doesn't get rained out on Sunday, don't want to make the drive down there for nothing.

Quote from Forbin :Couldn't we have it a bit farther north? Say... NJMP?

If it was in NJ I might even try to make it depending on the weekend. I would really like to take my car to a track some time.

"Our members have spoken. And iRacing has listened. As a result, some of our most enthusiastic members now have more reason than ever to take advantage of iRacing’s volume discount program. Effective immediately, any transaction that will result in the licensing of all currently available cars and tracks will automatically receive a 25% discount on included cars and tracks. So if you're only missing one piece of content for a complete set, there's no reason to wait for a bundle of three or six new cars and tracks to score a discount. And even if you only have the basic package of three cars and seven tracks, the Volume Discount program is sweeter than ever. Meanwhile, If the contents in your cart will NOT make you a 100% content owner, the multi-item discounts of 10% (for any three cars and/or tracks) and 20% (for six or more items) will still apply."


Pretty awesome, I'm up to 100% now. Only reason I was holding out on some stuff was so I could get the volume discount when new things came out, no reason to wait now. Road Atlanta is pretty fun, need to learn the track so I can blast around the blind corners without wrecking every time.

Sucks, I hope its not like that with the Corvette as well. I am not too interested in the road side right now but was planning on doing those races more once the Corvette is out. Right now I'm only C for road and oval anyway so I haven't had much trouble finding races.

I'm afraid the problem is only going to get worse if a lot of the one year guys don't sign up for another year, which is coming up soon from what I've been reading.

Quote from zeugnimod :Any whining yet?

Nah, they're so happy that the iRacing guys warned them of the delay early!

I swear the fanboyism over there is some of the worst I've seen. Not that I'm complaining about the Corvette, I was pretty sure it wouldn't be out by this time anyway, I was hoping for end of the season though.

There was some whining a week or two ago about the lack of drivers in A/B class races especially on the road side, of course the iRacing devs didn't make any mention of how they're going to fix the problem.

Quote from spanks :We could possibly be getting the corvette in 10 days!

The original PR release said it would be released in conjunction with the race on June 13th.

There hasn't been any word yet...

speculate speculate speculate!

And to this Tim Wheatley says:

"Thanks for your patience everyone. I asked yesterday after seeing this thread, but didn't get a response in time to post before I had to leave for the evening.

Unfortunately, the Corvette is unlikely to make the new build coming at seasons end as we are waiting on some data. The time of the people who would be building it has been spent elsewhere while they were unable to do this and as soon as they can do it, they'll be back on it.

Current estimate is now late summer.

I'm going to close this thread because of how it has degraded, you are welcome to start a new thread discussing the new information I have given you.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo
