That sense of speed! Oh my god. I would laugh while driving that all the time!
I'm all over this tonight. What steering angle and wheel rotation do you use?
I use 450 degrees on my wheel, keep the Vee steering angle at default. I also bump the gear ratio down one notch, and set brake pressure to 70%. Using a T500rs with modded load cell though, so brake pressure might be different for you.
I'd love to do some online Vee action, but never see it being used! Would there be any interest here?
There's an update on Reiza's Simracing Bonanza crowdfunding page confirming the Mitsubishi Lancer Cup, the Lancer Evo Rallycross besides the previously confirmed Super V8s, and three new tracks: Montreal Modern, Vello Cittá and Foz dirt track, and a few more updates.

I prefer the Skippy, but this is one of the great sim cars. I use 540/22 like most of the SCE stuff.
Yes! But I'm not sure there are enough chaps here who have the sim...
Wow - this thing takes some serious precision/balance to be fast I can tell fairly quickly.
At first I thought it wasn't going to make it up the hill on the main straight, haha. Very fun - yet another sim car I need to spend more time with. I used ~460/~20 which is what I use for most of the Reiza open-wheelers. At Taruma it could do with less steering angle probably, but I'm still losing the rear regularly.
Whoa, 1.37 beta with Super V8s and Modern Montreal is coming this week for backers. Awesome.

The F-Vee is a hall of fame sim car in my opinion. It's an absolute riot to drive.
I started putting together a list of my favorite sim cars for a post. Need to finish that. It's not as easy as it sounds!
Yeah, Remco has an incredible setup. Not only does he have the crazy to-scale screen, but he also made a replica Tyrell six wheeler cockpit for it. Dude is a nutter.Here's a thread about it.
Count me in. I'd take a F-Vee time trial in the meantime however

Alright something's up with my internet connection.
Trying to watch a race on iRacing and it loads in, i get some cars but everything is VERY slow-motion and the sounds are just all wonky until in a few seconds everything just disappears.
This usually only happens during evening time (19-22:00 GMT +3)
I have ran a pingplotter to one of the servers in iRacing's US server farm.
Pretty sure this is quite unacceptable:

You're on 3/4G? I'd recommend checking it on the official forums, I know that it can at times cause is issues with some servers software, especially proprietary gaming software so it could be an issue on their end. Though you never know with a mobile connection; mine simply isn't very suited for gaming as I get regular latency spikes even though I still do play online every now and then.
I'm on 4G, it has been pretty flawless since last Autumn when i got it (it's a lot faster and cheaper than ADSL around here) but in the last 2-3 weeks it's been getting a lot worse.
Yeah same for me, though I'm situated in a student-heavy area where the network is really at it's limit. It could be more traffic in your area or just some regular downtimes and mainentance.

There has been a massive to-do on the Assetto Corsa forums regarding a non-laser scanned version of Zandvoort. Here is one response from Stefano
The actual response of note is from Aris:

I'm always amazed at the over reaction some in the sim community have to announcements that are perceived as detremental.

Since they released update 8 the contribution rate has increased dramatically. It was getting stagnant for a while. Kinda wish they had released an update as detailed as that a few days ago.
Really hope they reach at least 80% so we can get the dynamic track conditions, tire damage and pickup.

SimBin is dead but Sector 3 has an update and will push out a new update for R3E in Win10 versy soonI tried, doesn't work
I'm very grateful for your help, but I'm going to give up on this for now.
Will try after Windows 10 is out officially, or after a new nvida driver comes out or Simbin puts out an update.

Ya'll done gud. Real gud.
This thing is going awfully quickly now as it enters the last few days. I think it jumped like 10% in the last 12 hours.

Reiza mentioned dedicated servers as part of their crowdfund, but guess what? They're already live and sounding pretty great. They're being run by Race Department. Dedis on a schedule is the kind of thing GSC really needed. I'm looking forward to trying them out.

Come on 80%.
I want to see Reiza do a proper dynamic racing line which most can't do properly.

Great news for Reiza and the community at large. Currently funding sits at 76% with 4 days left - 80% is likely ;-)
Anyone fluent in Portuguese? Reiza posted an interview with Rubens Barrichello, alas there are no English subtitles as yet..

Great video - happy to see Reiza getting a few cars out to those YT channels that care about the sim.
So am I just now; must have been a recent addition.

Not the old ISR pillows but pillows on a bed..perhaps Betta can do a video reclined on a bed with his wheel out.
Rubens Barrichello always comes across as a great guy. He clearly loves sim racing and the league he's a part of.
Wait, there are Porches on GSCE?! Or are these mods?
Anyway, it's just an very amateurish interview from the guys that run a Brazilian virtual league that apparently Rubens takes part along some other Brazilian professional drivers such as the Formula Truck champion Beto Monteiro and other Stock Car and Marcas drivers. I believe that even Massa had some fun with these guys sometime ago. Apparently the Stock Car drivers have have their own virtual league along with the real thing.
Anyway, about the interview, he's asked about how does it compare with the real thing, and he says that today the simulator is not just a game anymore. He has his own cockpit at home and says that the level of realism is very high and it really helps, specially for boys like Dudu, his oldest son, who's learning a lot at the simulator and putting what he learns on the track and beating his own times with it.
Rubens even goes on about a day when he got at home and Dudu was using his cockpit, and then on the next day he got home again and there was Dudu playing on the sim, and when he asked for him to leave because he had a race and needed to train, Dudu didn't liked, so Rubens had to buy a second cockpit for his son. Then, the other day, for his surprise, there was Fefe, his younger son using his setup, so now he has a third one.
He also says something about the weight of the wheel and grip levels that I'm not getting exactly what he means (probably something about FFB), and says that this helps so much that Dudu is gaining a lot of time on the real life kart track.
Then he's asked about the new Super V8s and he says that this kind of car is one of the best to show the "reality of the real thing", says something about door-to-door action, streamlines, and that his expectation is to have fun above everything else because that's how he lives his life, with a smile on his face all the time to move on.

Hmm... anyone having problems launching GSCE?
All I'm getting is a black screen loading it from Steam. Never had this problem before. I haven't had any gfx driver updates or anything I can think of that can explain it. Checking the integrity of the game cache yields no errors too. :/
Edit: It's working now, however there is at least a 30 second period where I just get a black screen before it starts.

There are at least three great Porsche mods. Carrera Cup (my favorite), 911 RSR (997) GT3 Cup, and the 1974 911 Cup RSR 3.0L.

I occasionally get a flashing colored screen at launch which might be driver or resolution/refresh related. Launching the config tool before the game seems to solve it consistently.

Just tried that, still have the same issue. I also do that after every driver update since the settings get reset back to defaults.

No hands on wheel at all in SCE - only SimBin did this.
Ah, I though that the had got the rights for the Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge.

Must admit, Jessica was my first thought too after BT's post. Never knew that was her nickname, though.
