    Also Minolin is doing some backend server updates... hope this doesn’t impact finding ROOZ servers...
    Exciting though! :D

    This was a pretty unfortunate round. A video of all three incidents above.

    #1: In race 1: got tapped and fishtailed into @Godzilla - no control.
    #2: Race 2: I cut the chicane at Villeneuve a bit and hit @marty - sorry mate. I wasn't expecting to gain so much ground on you there.
    #3: Race 2: ??? @Godzilla - did you just completely miss your braking marker?

    I honestly couldn’t even tell you... was a brain fade, missed marker, crap brake pedal, half arsed attempt to pit, and a whole heap of other things at once. Sorry man, been a long time since I did that.

    I nearly did this to someone the other night, really poorly designed pit entry. It can easily catch you out as you can go nearly flat to the exit of the turn where cars are slowing hard for the last chicken. @tezpez85 no big deal with our contact it happens, no sheepstations were lost but I got some whiplash with which my lawyers may still want to have some words to you about. :D

    Had a similar thing happen to me the other night in the Zandvoort open server. Looking at HUD/momentary loss of focus for whatever reason and oh sh!t missed the braking marker. I think it was @Godzilla who I nearly cleaned up but luckily managed to miss him. It happens, sim racing takes a lot of concentration. It's only when it's intentional that it's a problem.

    Almost rear ended one of you boys last night when diving in the pits. I had to go on the grass to avoid the hit and then I smacked the front end hard into the wall on pit entry and to top it off I accidentally changed tyres. What a bloody mess.. :eek:

    I need some pit practice because as it stands I am dogsh!t at it.. :poop:

    Who here thinks the MFD should have all tyres pressure adjustment? + 0.1 .. + 0.5 .. + 1.0 would increase all tyres pressures based on the selected strategy..

    Yeah, think I posted this on ACC forums before, would make it soo much easier, especially in Vr where the less manual adjustment you need to do the better

    Cool thing is at least in the password servers for now you can practice pit stops, the one thing is if fuel is time limited server side in practice it still isnt.

    The season will have fuel limit to help balance cars out, in earlier races lime the Spa 2.4hr for example the Bentley had a huge advantage using less fuel and having a bigger tank. Stint limits and fixed fuel times help take away any big advantages some cars can have here to help even field over endurance races.

    If in pit strat we could see display as +- to start pressure it would be much more user friendly. Still keeping the mulitple strategies just displayed relative to start. Ideally you would set multiple presets and can scroll through these easioy seeing how its related to your current pressures. Now you need to make sure to remember which preset your running and often dont even know if your going up or down from current stint.

    I also would like to be abke to use the presets in setup menu to load to car, that way you only need one main setup and easily adjust pressures. Alternate setups would have bigger changes then pressures such as dry intermediate and wet setups.

    Yes! I'm sick of setting up tyre pressures for each car/track combo and with +0.5 PSI increments (6 x strategies + wet strats going back and forth trying to remember the bloody numbers)

    Yeah it is very difficult on tracks like Zolder. I think the MFD should have a default strategy of "Start" which would be your starting pressures. Sometimes you forget or dont have time to copy over the pressures to each strategy and because there is no easy copy and paste function from tyre pressures to strategy it is difficult to do in 60 seconds. Ill raise a thread and see if we get some traction by the devs..

    Thanks guys for your feedback

    I just made a thread with a few ideas on making the pit stops more user friendly overall. Feel free to give your suggestions, I have the day off today but will be flat out the next 4 days so will spend some time in the forums while watching some NHL on tv. ;)

    Another earthquake this morning. This one was not too bad.. With the recent earthquakes I have been experiencing I have felt like I am permanently riding a wave and not in a good way. Apparently its called earthquake drunkenness or hangover.. I have an inner ear balance issue already so it may not be helping with this.. Last night I almost gave up during race 1 as I thought I was going to spew up.
    It's been a week and I still feel it. I wonder how much longer I will feel this way..? Maybe this is what it feels like when your driving VR and are feeling sick..
