Silver lining is I lost no SR and the other dude got DQ’d. And I’ll def be racing it again tonight. Just so close to having a full clean session

Also, consider that the vast majority of events that happen result in no protests.

There’s an option in settings to always prompt you to save a replay when you exit a session. It can be a helpful reminder for those times a protest-worthy interaction happens.

giogadi posted:Grahhhhhhhhh I was having a fun and clean race 15 laps into the advanced miata race. I was in 8th place, and the guy who had qualified 2nd was behind me (not a lap ahead). I wish I had saved the replay, but he essentially messed up an overtake and overcooked the turn, and then ran totally sideways across the track in order to wreck me. Thank goodness I didn’t lose any SR, but it should’ve been a big increase!!! I don’t understand what’s going through people’s minds when they do that. If I accidentally run someone off, I lie awake at night thinking about it for like weeks afterward It does sound like maybe it was intentional if he got enough penalty points to DQ himself but any time I see someone assigning intention to another driver in the context of an accident I can't help but feel it's usually erroneous. Think of times you've hosed up and knocked another car out of a race (it happened to me a few weeks ago), how intentional do you think it seemed to the other driver? Especially if you haven't really examined a replay from both perspectives etc I think it's generally better to assume someone is just a terrible sportsperson and not intentionally ruining your race, though this does happen (generally you don't see this outside of newer people in miatas). waffle enthusiast posted:There’s an option in settings to always prompt you to save a replay when you exit a session.

What I really need is a prompt to check my tire % after a race so I can learn to intuit where they're at more for when we do endurance races.

This is a big reason why I regret not saving the replay. You’re right this is absolutely possible. Also, even if it was intentional, I’d like to see if I did something to aggravate them that I could’ve avoided.

I think every single instance I've had where I've thought "that guy just accelerated straight into me what the gently caress?!" it's been something like them getting out of shape and then right as they gather it up, dropping a wheel on the grass and turning 90 degrees into me.

I raced an open SK race yesterday where there was guy in the open practice session just purposefully wrecking everyone, then doing the same thing when we were transferred over to the race practice session. Then was fairly tame in the race though he nerf barred every car that passed him until he finally took himself out while wrecking somebody else. Then the guy he wrecked gathered the car back up and drove straight into the racing groove and wrecked like 3rd, 4th, and a lapped car. He didn't even go for payback or anything on the guy who did it just went full on, if my race is ruined then so is anybody else I can get my hands on. It's only probably the 4th or 5th protest I've ever filed and it's definitely the first time I've filed a protest on two people for intentional wrecking in the same race. Especially when pretty much the whole lobby had decided the first guy is getting reported by everyone for driving like a jerk. But like Vando said, most of the time you think you've been horribly wronged by some complete rear end in a top hat there are usually extenuating circumstances that make them more poor driving/bad luck/poor racing decision making incidents than someone purposely wrecking you. I find an apology can go a long way too. I was in classic '87 NASCAR race a few weeks ago and totally drove into the back of the guy in front of me. Spun him out, completely my fault. Right away he's on the radio saying come on, what the hell, and the like. He was side by side with another car and the other car was on the radio saying he was having real bad handling problems and I was watching him instead of how much the car in front of me had slowed for the corner and I took him out. I explained what I was looking at, apologized and the guy was actually pretty cool about it. Totally switched his tone to, ok yeah I get it, it happens, try to be more careful, etc. I've been on the other side of it too and I'll take a kick in the pants way easier if it at least comes with some acknowledgement of a mistake than a gently caress you to go along with it.

In relation to binding chat commands (pass left, pass right): if I am coming up on a slower car, I am not looking at chat when I’m around that car. Even if I see a message, I do not have the time to look at who sent it, what it says, and validate it’s from the name in front of me. Also, many people run with voice and text chat off. What you think is a helpful message is routinely unseen. Best practice is maintain your line and let me pass you. In relation to studying other drivers in session: looking at their cockpits for line and gear selection is fine, but be aware the brake and throttle will be latency impacted. Meaning if it seems like the fast guy is braking way later than you, seemingly way too late, and still making the corner, they are likely braking earlier than it seems from the onboard. I know many of us run VRS telemetry (paid) and Garage61 telemetry (free). Garage61 will have a lot of public laps, sometimes seeing what folks are actually doing with the gas and brake can be helpful once you’re comfortable with the line you want to go for. If you run the telemetry yourself, you can directly compare the laps to see what is different where.

VRS telemetry is also free, it's the specific series guides you have to pay for to compare against the instructors (some of those are also free).

Agree but I do have my chat just under my windshield and I absolutely look at my relative when I'm coming up on a slower class car and check their name so that if they do the whole PASS RIGHT/LEFT thing I know who they're talking to. I prefer slower class cars to stay on their racing line but somewhat often the newer people will do all sorts of weird stuff.

Speaking of monitor mounts, I'm setting up a new dedicated rig and am not sure which monitor mount/arm to buy. The rig will be sitting right next to my computer desk and I have a 34 inch ultra wide I would like to be able to swivel back and forth between the rig and my desk. Any ones in particular people have had good experiences with?

I've had fairly good experience with the knock off ergotrons that look basically the same. I think one of them was an amazon basics. Did the job I expected of it and seemed decent quality for what at the time was less than half the price. But Ergotron certainly have a good reputation, I've never had one so perhaps I don't know what I'm missing.

I have this big chonky boi, which is a medical grade Ergotron arm used to hold up diagnostic equipment in a hospital setting. I bolted a VESA mount to it and now it holds a monitor. It’s nice because the wheels lock, so it stays in place, and I can also roll it to the couch to play pc games on it with the high refresh monitor. It has a 25lb bench press bar weight in the base to keep it planted. I’m guessing you would swap that weight out to appropriately counter whatever medical equipment was hanging off the arm   It’s overkill, but like, the best kind of overkill, especially since I pretty much exclusively race in VR, so a triple setup isnt really necessary Beve Stuscemi fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Aug 17, 2022 |

I'm jealous of the angle on your rig's chair mount...the GT Omega Apex seat add-on is drat near flat and it's actually pretty uncomfortable, and doesn't support your thighs. I want to feel poured into that thing.

Is that whole rig Simlab? I think I’m going to start picking up something like that because I want a seat like that. What arms did you use with the monitors? Lastly, what GPU are you using? All 3 monitors running off DP or HDMI? I’d probably upgrade my GPU to handle it.

Yeah whole rig is from simlab, GT1 Evo with the integrated triple monitor mount, with their Vario VESA mounts (game changingly good for getting the monitors aligned) GPU is a 1080ti, 2 are gonna be HDMI, one display port, but I haven't had a chance to actually hook up and configure the triples, just have them mounted right now.

While I agree that having the adjustment on that simlabs one would be nice, I have the GT Omega Apex rear add-on seat mount that you have, and I use this seat:  It's at completely the right angle without any angle changes (it's just flat mount). I think it's the GT Omega seats that are letting you down - not the extender. Most aftermarket seats will have rails to adjust the height (like in mazeofetcetcetc's rig).

Have you tested the performance with this yet? I had to chuck my triples setup when I was running an RX 580 because even 5780x1080 became too much for it, and that was over 18 months ago before the graphics updates last year.

all quiet up in here for a while. Shame that; I've actually had some really successful racing after coming back from a long break. currently enjoying the Lambo GT3 and the Porsche Cup again, and even getting some modest results. VR setup just feels better and more natural every time I use it.
