Something was weird with that session you hosted the other night. I started that session with the same setup I used on wed where it worked fine and it wouldn't turn in for anything and when I started messing with it I couldn't get the ride height low enough so I started a new one. I raced the same setup that I shared except more ABS and it was hooked up really well last night. You should have joined. I think it was the closest that I've seen lap times yet. I guess it's good to go to tracks that nobody knows well.


LOL I meant to quote Sean. Once again, I shouldn't post from my phone.

 

It was the temperature, on practice night the temp on the track was around 104, last night it was around 75, huge difference in traction. I struggle a lot when it's too hot.

 

So interesting update to the Rift, a Galaxy Note version, but reading it it looks like its a Galaxy Note screen that is in the DK2.

Also looks like a leaked GA date:

Don't believe anything you read from korean soap opera news sites.

 

But it was on the internet it has to be true :-)

 

That k-drama site has been pumping that story for months and they're the only ones telling it.

 

Next official League session isn't for another week due to the holiday.

Thinking about scheduling a 6-8 (regular practice time) for tonight anyways. Might as well do Road Atlanta.

 

Session scheduled under official League sessions. 2 hours starting at 6 CST. Road Atlanta. Hope some of you make it or it's gonna be darned boring LOL!

 

Getting closer to getting my cave in the basement together. Should be able to join you guys for the next season, with my rift, once I get my rig all set.

 

Anybody down for some open practice tonight?

 

I've been in the flatlands of Saskatchewan the last few days. I'd be up for some practices later this week. Oculus rift seems to be working reasonably well for me now, but it's just discomfort that holds me back from longer sessions now.

 

Give Dramamine a shot. Used it the first few weeks, don't need it anymore.

 

It's actually the pressure on my face and head, not the vestibular stuff. I think some more padding on the straps would help.

 

Sim rig maintenance:
Finally received my new shifter today and while installing it I notice one of the bolts coming loose on the brake pedal. Might need to put together a pre-race nut and bolt check list :-)

 

After watching this:


...I had to try it, so I ponied up the $35 and bought Assetto Corsa. And... damn... with the Rift? Getting up out of the car? I was laughing out loud. One second, I'm sitting IN a Ferrari F40. A couple seconds later, I'm standing NEXT to a Ferrari F40. And then, after looking at it, when I bent my neck to clear the roof, grabbed the steering wheel to steady myself as my butt slid back down into the seat in my sim rig? Mind = blown.

It's buggy (really buggy) and the interface sucks with the Rift. You have to do a lot of BS to get it to work. But once you're in the car... dude... I'm an iRacing fanboy, no doubt... but AC is pretty damned good. Physics feels just as good/real as iRacing (after playing AC for 2.5 hours tonight I jumped right into iRacing just to see if I noticed any real difference, and didn't). Graphics are a little prettier. Plus it has AI for when you just want to jump in and screw around. Double plus, it has street cars. Kinda fun tossing a loose and sloppy BMW M3 or 1M around!
