I spoke to a developer. We are working on a fix for this. It appears the Easy Anti Cheat (EAC) system is flagging something and causing the DQs

LOL

Just to be clear, we believe the issue is with the cheat detection software, not the drivers.

If we find you are cheating you will just disappear one day

Both cars show off-tracks and/or contact so damage was likely. Remember, if you get a meatball flag you must pit for repairs, even if you feel like you can still drive the car.
Yep, I hit a wall but I pitted for repairs and was then let back out so I assume the car was OK at that point.

My squirrel will pass a drug test any day. I think some of those guys have two squirrels in theirs.


So where are we next week? I'm a slow learner so I need to turn a few laps before the race on tracks I haven't driven in a long time.

Comments are greatly appreciated.
Please no on the Playseat Evolution. A driver I coach has one and I did some laps on it just last weekend - it's horrible. Insane amounts of flex on the pedal mount, and the steering wobbles around as well (has a Fanatec on it).

I've heard good things about the T300RS vs. the other choices in that budget range but haven't tried one myself.

I have a playseat, I drilled holes through the wheel and pedal mount plates. My wheel is bolted directly do the mount and has no wobble or flex. For the pedals I bolted a piece of 3/4" plywood to the seat's pedal mount, then bolted the pedals to the piece of wood. The pedal mount still flexes when you're hard on the brakes, but it's manageable. I thought about putting something under the furthest edge of the mount to reduce flex, but it hasn't bothered me enough to do something about it.

I"m waiting to see Jim's new rig that is a mocked up Cayman if I understand it correctly. I made my own by welding up a lot of 1in square tubing. I want to come up with some better isolation as I also have Simvibe in the chassis configuration.

What would you suggest I look at as an alternative?

Also I've heard the pedals that come with the T300RS are pretty poor (and lack a clutch). The TP3A Pro's get good reviews, as do the Fanatec Clubsport V2's (although I think they run more $$). Any thoughts on pedals?.

I am at the end of a 80/20 rig build, just a few more tweaks and I will post some pictures up. I just got a new Fanatec Club Sport Wheel mounted tonight. Coming from a G27 wheel its way different feeling having the larger diameter wheel.

First off, make sure to map a key to "recenter HMD" - I think by default it's the semi-colon ";". Sit square in your seat looking forward (in real life) while in the car, then hit the recenter button. That *should* get you close.

If that's not good enough and you want to adjust it more...

Start the sim, and get into the car. Hit the "recenter HMD" button. Then sit there for a few seconds (5-10ish) while on pit lane.

Then get OUT of the car. Go to the replay, and fast-forward to the part where you were sitting in the car, and then PAUSE the replay.

Select the cockpit camera, then hit CTRL-F12. That will bring up the camera editor.

At the top of the camera editor menu, are X/Y/Z coordinates you can adjust - that will move the camera position. Find a position you like and then make sure you hit "Save Car". It should remember/reuse that going forward.
