Quote from kars19 :

I can't even do 1 full circle (small one, 2 gear) sideways, no matter how fast is my steering, as low as 490 degrees

How did you make it? Configuring 900 degrees in iRacing and lowering it in the drivers or configuring 490 degrees in the sim? If it's the latter you messed up the steering linearity so I would be surprised if you could control the car trying to drift.

If anyone thinks they've cancel the event on purpose is mentally retarded.

BTW.

Quote from Tony Gardner :

As many of you are aware, we had a website issue on Friday night just as the Indy 500 was starting. As the cause of the problem was unknown (still working on it), we officially cancelled the race Friday night and the race Saturday night. The problem however was not the sim itself or the race servers, it was with the web and data infrastructure of which there are tens of thousands of queries and calls happening all the time. We experienced no other problems other than at “race time” unfortunately.

Again, our deep apologies for this. As I said in another post it is more disappointing to us than anybody. We worked very hard to get the car out on time for the race and organizing the event.

As a small token we are awarding every member a $6 credit this week who purchased the Dallara DW12 car through Saturday, May 24. This is at least a 50% discount and in many cases more than that with the multiple purchase discounts we offer and we already gave a $6 credit to whoever purchased the old Indy car in the last 90 days.

As far as scheduling a new race, as I alluded to in another post we have some projects that we have been working on to reduce the chance of something like this happening in the future. Longer term, a redesign is happening with one of the main purposes if not the main purpose to have the most stable service possible.

Anyway, we want to wait until we roll this new code out which we should do in coming weeks and then we can reschedule a new race. The goal is certainly before this normal 13 week season ends towards the end of July. We may even decide to do a fun race sooner rather than later followed by an official race. Will keep you posted.

So I'm only allowed to praise a company for when it does something good, but not bring up the fact that they have also made mistakes? Why is it so important to you to make me a blind fanboy of iRacing?

I didn't say anything of the above.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Same real life MX5 racer that Teemu used before.

But when he was saying that MX5 is true to life he was only a fanboy...

Why is it so important to you to discredit iRacing?

Quote from DeKo :

It is literally impossible for a fully automatic sequential to go into Neutral from 4th so clearly something is ****ed.

You're right

Quote from Eric Hudec :

It's a bug. Turns out we didn't have enough throttle blip with downshift attempts. The same problem could happen on the McLaren but was much more rare because of the characteristics of the driveline. Therefore there wasn't enough force to get the gear to change down. Fix will be rolled out asap.

Quote from DeKo :

Yes I understand that, but if the real GT3 was constantly jumping from 4th gear into Neutral, they would pull it into the garage and find out what was going on. The Ruf does it constantly.

I've never experienced it in RUF nor McLaren. Maybe you're releasing the paddle to fast - after the gear disengages but before it engages next gear? There are definitely people who doesn't experience the problem so it's down to their inputs.

Quote from DeKo :

The RUF gearbox is garbage but it's the same as the Macca so I guess I'll be putting up with it.

Both RUF Track and McLaren use fully automated sequential as it is used in GT3 series.

Quote from Porsche.com: 911 GT3R (type 997) :

Morover, the transmission electronics, featuring an automatic throttle blip control, make it almost impossible to miss a gear and over-rev the engine.

Quote from SCA-F1 :

But everyone knows iRacing are light years behind everyone else in the tyre department, despite their serious two year focus and typical PR boom about it.

Do you really think that it take years to make

Like it is done in most other sims?
I'm sure that their ultimate goal is make the core features of the tire so solid, that they could concentrate on things like vulcanization, blistering, flat spots, etc.

Have you ever driven a car?

Have you ever driven 400HP, 530kg car without any downforce on motorbike like tires at 200km/h+?

Quote from AlienT. :

Still you don't need to clutch on up-shift which is a bit disappointing.

Why? They could not to use and usually haven't been using clutch in real life when they wanted to change the gears fast.

Quote from Tony Gardner :

Lotus 49 will be in build next week. Dave Kaemmer putting up a blog about it today.

Nice .

Quote from Scrabby :

I have that problem to when driving any car, but after a lap orso it brakes normally.

You must calibrate your pedals every time you start iRacing by fully pressing the brake and throttle.

Or you can buy Bodnar cable to get rid of it and gain awesome precision for your pedals .
