Going to see if Kotten can get the TS server up and running a while before we start today.

@Steffano2002: Can you post here when you get your server up and running and please make it password protected hehe. Ill see if Kotten can have his running as well, just in case anybody has connection issues we can just change quick

Nice one corn, thanks for the link, never tried iRacing before.

This game has nothing to do with Rfactor 2.
The cadillac is very hard to drive.

c0rn3y

I have only ever tried the Mazda MX5 but that one was really nice to drive I have to say.

Could be fun if we all sign up and have one hosted race there just once, I think it costs about 1$ to run a hosted race for 2 hours or 2$ for 4 hours. I could easy pay that hehe. Just for fun maybe next week drive the Mazda MX5 around Lime Rock in iRacing? But after that still go back to rFactor2 (just need some new content).

IRacing sounds good to me....

Thanks for the code C0rny... :D

I'll try to avoid the fences next week!!!!

c0rn3y

Ive been getting "Loading Error 72" when I start iRacing. Going to have to reinstall everything again. Didn't get racing all weekend, damn it hehe.

Steffano2002

I was only able to join a single online session and it turned out to be qualifying only... We joked with Eliii that they should rename the game to "iQualifying"!

I hate the fact you can't change the viewing point to "hood camera" (I hate cockpit view...) and I found the game too "Revenue-focused" to be enjoyable. Evey game I wanted to join required a purchase of some sort and I hate this!

So let's give it a go on Wednesday but I don't think I'll play that game much... (Everything that starts with the letter "i" is gay anyway!)

c0rn3y

Once you get used to the iRacing format it does work very very well I have to say. And yes it is very much "Revenue-focused" as Steffano2002 says.

But the racing and the way you can you run hosted sessions is very good. And that amount of stats you get is also very nice

All i can say to Steffano2002 my friend is... you need patience hehe

And I was the same when it came to cockpit views before, I use to hate them with a passion. But now I don't drive anything else. I do agree you have a "better overview" from the hood but the feel is just not the same. If you remove the wheel from the cockpit view so you can only see your "real" wheel and play around with FOV/seat position until you hit that sweet spot you will know what I mean.

Changes everything! Doesn't mean you will go faster but I can promise you will feel more "part of" the sim.

robk24

That Revenue-focused crap is what put me off IRacing before. seemed every time i seen a race that looked interesting I'd get a "Thats 20 bucks please" "thats 60 bucks please" message...

Eh no and F off.... Thanks anyway....

But sure for free cant be all that bad, only gripe with the free thing is the races will all be wreck fests unless the servers are password protected...

Steffano2002

Well, what's happening???

robk24

Your a day early its Tuesday today?
