Can the cat count to ten?
Kunos logo is a cat aswell...
What is going on with the ten? Any ideas?

PRC were right! Turn 10 to purchase Kunos!

Schwing!
If they completely left Kunos alone to do their own thing while just supporting with licenses, car models, etc that would be great but I'd still be a bit sad.

My apologies. I contemplated adding '/s' to the end of my post, but I let it go through without. I realise my error and have added it in. IIRC, the whole Turn 10 story was someone playing a joke on PRC.
I think they're converting to the new industry standard of cat power. You see, horsepower has the disadvantage of being named after a very powerful animal, whereas a cat is high ferocity but not very strong. Therefore, a vehicle that previously had 400 horsepower will now have 1800 cat power. Everyone loves bigger numbers.

Cats can't count to 10 they only have 4 toes per paw.

Changed my mind and went with a T300. Most comments I saw after the fact said that the T300 is really that much better of an upgrade. Woo! Should be here Friday (thanks Amazon Prime).
E: I did a little searching and it looks like you can add tracks to AC? How easy/hard is that to do?

It's insanely easy to add tracks to AC. Just copy the folder into the tracks folder and it'll show up the next time you start the game. assettocorsa -> content -> tracks
Italians like lots of pussy?
The 10 just means there's 10 days until the announcement. The cats might not have anything to do with it either, it might just be that it's their logo.
Shit, I can't reach the end of the throw on my brake pedal unless I use a LOT of force. I must have weak calves

Unless I'm mistaken and/or they're in a different timezone to what I think, that tweet was posted at 11am today, the 8th, so 10 days would be the 18th and not the 17th.
Might have been a joke referring to "Turn 10 Acquiring Kunos" story.

I'm not sure I follow. Shaneus was commenting on the 10s themselves, not the Turn10 rumours, that it just meant there were 10 days until the announcement. But as the tweet shows, when the 10 was mentioned it was in fact only 9 days until the announcement.
Okay, my G27 finally arrived. Didn't have the time to set it properly, or to try for more than 3 minutes, but OH MY GOD, THE TERROR!
As I said before, I had a Logitech Momo Racing Wheel borrowed from a friend some time ago, and I remember well how weird it was at the beginning. But eventually I got used to it. But the G27 is a completely different beast! The pedals are stiff, specially the brake! And it's so close to the clutch (and I was so used to the two pedal scheme of the Momo) that I'll probably spend a week to get used to it. The paddle shifter doesn't have the obvious "click" the Momo had too. And I didn't even tested the manual shifter with clutch! >.>

You can change the pedal configuration/layout (slightly) on G27 pedals I did that as the first thing when I got them.
I did that as the first thing when I got them.TBH I didn't check exactly when the tweet was posted, I just figured that because of my backwards timezone compared to everyone else on GAF, it was probably about 10 days.

Welp, Kunos has officially shut down the modding section of their forums permanently. Their mod section after the 17th will be only for tutorials and such. I'm thinking it could really hurt the modding scene and there are still so many good WIP mods yet to be released. Racedepartment is pretty much the place for it now; hopefully it won't deter most folks and they will just migrate to RD.

Edit: IMO I think part of it has to do with whatever is being announced on the 17th.

I downloaded a bunch from assettocorsa.club last night, as well as racedepartment. As someone brand new to this, I'm super curious myself why they would randomly decide to shut down mods on the official forums?

In time I'm sure we'll find the reasons as to why Kunos killed modding on their forum - it seems like an odd decision to me as its pissed off quite a few of the modders. That said, I've been a member of the official forum since its inception however I rarely visit or post on the official forums as most of the mods are found on Race Department.
Stefano AKA Lord Kunos said:
I bet Bram H is loving the decision.
In Reiza news, their FB page posted an image of Cadwell Park
I'm thinking Steam Workshop might be a possibility. But it could also just be general pressure from manufacturers. Having dozens of BMW, Mercedes, Honda, etc unlicensed cars documented all over your official forums could cause issues in licensing discussions.
Obviously they're wishing they'd done it earlier, but it seems understandable as they're growing and launching on consoles soon. Wipe the slate clean going forward and they don't have to worry about the stuff.

What other non-iRacing sims should I pick up for use with my new wheel? Are there any decent sim games with an "open world" segment? It sounds odd, but I find it super fun to just drive around in cities (soon to be with a wheel!) and just relax.

Are you familiar with the Truck Simulator games? Euro or American.
They're amazing games, and likely exactly what you're looking for.

Thanks for this. Apparently I own Euro Simulator 2 already. Must have been a Steam sale, haha.

Love this new iRacing tech! The latest build overhauled the dust/debris system, meaning that dirt can be kicked up, carried in the wind, and spread all over the track. It's part of an ongoing project to bring dirt racing to the sim, plus more advanced debris and, eventually, rain. Here's a timelapse of some enthusiastic oval racers who didn't want to wait, who managed to generate a dirt track by doing controlled burnouts around Oxford Plains:

Bringing dirt back onto the track is indeed very cool. It really gives the track a lot of life. A bit more instant gratification than rubber build up.
After some doubts about the bugginess of the Popcorn particle system, I'm finally running that maxed out too, and that's amazing as well! You get the occasional big stone flying at you, it's great.

It's small things relatively but god damn my immersion has improved by a tenfold with this latest update again.

Yeah, I had the same experiece. Playing with the wheel and pedals is much more tiring than just flicking an analog stick with your thumb and squeezing a trigger with your index finger.

Anyone have suggestions for an affordable and compact wheel stand option? My pedals slide so damn much when I'm playing. I was thinking of a Wheel Stand Pro, but I wasn't sure if there were cheaper options that do what that does.
Betta Lines

The other similar stand I know was from Fanatec, but it is discontinued. Used Wheel Stand Pros appear on ebay regularly.
The cheapest option is to bolt your pedals to some wood, and brace the wood up against the wall. I did this for years - it was effective even with modified T500RS pedals.
