IRACING iRacing General

Like Dave said, you won't really need much "help" as such. You seem skilled enough to do just fine in iRacing.
Of course if you get into iRacing, we will do some rookie races with you, and help you out where you'll need it.
It will be good to see another Rooz member get into iRacing.

Had to share this, check this out - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RY0BMOOQ58

Ugh why do people sit like that

jeez that does look awful... he must be like 4ft tall LOL but good on him if it works

LOL maybe ur missing my point

Even with him sitn like that, his wheel layin on the bed not fixed down so it doesn't move around when he turns & shifts, washing basket & mag wheel at the end, pedals on the floor to the left using his "left foot" rather than right for all requirements (perhaps that normal where he lives)

And the is driving a mustang better than I (& prob most of you) can drive a mazda

That dude could shave about half a second off his lap time if he shifted earlier.

Not sure why I give a enough to even say that. Merry Christmas though.

I've just been surfing through the iRacing statistics page and your stats caught my eye. Shocked me, if I'm honest.
You've racked up more road race starts than me. 168 v my 167. The part I find amazing about this is, you've only been racing road since November 2012. I've been iRacing since July 2011.
Thats some commitment right there.. Jesus. Won't be long and you'll surpass Neishy. haha

any one know how to set up a dfgt wheel for iracing
i tried to set it up but iracing would not recognise it
i need help

Hey Col, Firstly, Don't be affraid of them, Google how to set up a dfgt wheel for iracing and youtube are our friends

Pretty sure you said your running Win8? Driving force GT windows 8

Have you got the latest Driving Force GT Drivers installed for it?

Watch this and let me know how you go

no i dont have the latest drivers where do i get them

because the wheel self centres do you have to manualy calibrate

Col see the coloured underlined writing in my previous post, thats a "weblink" which will (usually) take you straight to whatever someone is discussing in any thread (or forum), Put your mouse currsor over the writing and click on it with your left mouse button

Yes, when in iracing setup page like the guy shows you in the video

I know it's very frustrating, is for me also at times, but be patient you'll get there and be kickn my but on the track in no time

but how do you do that against the force feed frightened i will brake suthing or do you disconect the ff when calibrating

Get on Team speak if you ever need any help being talked through Iracing stuff, there is so much to learn and so many ways to do things. I"m on now if you need help.

Yes but what stands out/matters to me is this;
Starts Win% Top 5's
Me - 168 00.60% 66
Bones - 169 02.36% 38
Nathan - 44 04.55% 26
Neishy - 582 15.97% 299
Dustin - 109 16.51% 64
Beau - 167 33.52% 115
Koaster - 71 39.43% 61 (and his complaining about a few non at fault incidents so hasn't been racing? I envious :/)

Out of interest Neishy do you recall what your % at 170 odd races was, how am I going in comparrision?

Perhaps if I'd had hindsight & done more of what I'm now suggesting to Jamie and other newbies those stats would look a hell of alot better.
But I'm enjoying most of it and even if I come last through my own doing thats all that matters.
It's when other #^%s without any concideration for others waltze into an official race clearly/selfishly without any prior testing/practice etc stuff up my race using my rear bumper as a brake or whatever reckless stupidity they do to cause x4 etc that I then need to give myself a little break before I break something, sure most of you understand that, hey Nieshy

I'm sure I read that somewhere a couple of days ago :/

Wonder how they'd look if you risked your irating etc a bit more often?

Do you advanced guys have any experience or knowledge about this? The Continental Endurance Sports Car Series wondering if it would be a good thing for me to cut my teeth on for endurance come Bathurst or would my time be better spent elsewhere?

Actualy, rookie race training in the V8 (not in the way of official C-class racing etc) would preferably be what I should be looking for, bit more challenging than practice rooms & ghosting, would like to be up to speed come Bathurst (why I joined). Perhaps now we have a few newbies like myself we could start hosting a race training room or something?
