We somehow managed to get 20 people in the 'let's test out rain' league session yesterday, that's 2020 levels of enthusiasm and people aren't even stuck at home with nothing else to do this time

Soon, I will dance in the rain and crash!

One new thing we managed to test though was the new SRX car. I said I wasn't going to buy it and of course bought it day 1. But I have a reasonable excuse. I only bought it because my buddy's league is a paved oval/dirt oval series where we use the Pro2 Truck and he want's to convert it to SRX league so we all bought the car. Out of the box, the thing drives way worse than I thought it would. It has a ton of power and zero braking or turning capabilities. We did a session at USA and the USA setup has the wrong gearing so you only use 3rd gear and also has like 60% front brake or something crazy so you need to tune them up to make them reasonably drivable. If that ends up being a fixed series I don't think it is going to be very popular. In the end most of us had switched to the baseline setup, made a gear change, and dropped it to around 40% front brake to make like mid 22 second laps. Looking at garage 61 looks like my best lap was a 22.6, about a second faster than my street stock times and about a second slower than my late model times.

the rain seems to be very well implemented but it looks like it's gonna finally force me to upgrade my PC too lol Also, dumb technical question: I'm building a cockpit rn and my temporary desk rig just has the sound coming out the monitor speakers. Is there a way I can make it so all the sounds play out my monitor speakers, but have the spotter audio comes in through headphones? (I can plug them into either the desktop pc directly or the monitor)

not sure if there is a way in the default client but you can use crew chief which, imo is better anyway. https://thecrewchief.org/forumdisplay.php?28-Download-and-Links

GT3 on nords = gently caress yea But I just tried the GTP at sebring and what da hell, almost impossible to complete a lap and that's going slow as fuuuuuuck Is the weather random for each session? Just curious if everyone is getting Sebring at very wet Immolat1on fucked around with this message at 05:12 on Mar 7, 2024 |

The gtps are also pigs in the wet, way harder to drive than lmp2 or gt3.

I wonder how much of that is setup dependent.

I tried both today at Sebring, using a dry sebring setup with wet tires. The lmp2 felt ok, a bit sketchy, but mostly fine. The GTP couldnt turn, or accelerate in a straight line without spinning up the rears. I'm curious to see the how wet setups change things, but I can see how more power (and electric motor torque) and more weight makes more of a handful in low traction conditions.

Turning the TC up above 10 really helps the GTP. They downforce brake almost like normal pretty well until about 3rd gear then you gotta really be careful.

Today's league race is a test of how long the track takes to dry so having as many people  as possible would be useful. LMP2/GT3/GR86 at Sebring.

Rain is a lot of fun. Ran a couple of the Ferrari races today, with the 100% rain forecast. For some reason the bottom splitters are running dry because it's dry at the start, then pitting for wets. Ran a race where I just started on the wets and was running top 3 after everyone pitted. Sadly I'm bottom split and spun a couple times in the last couple laps when things got real wet, cause I'm a bottom splitter. Only a 15 minute race, no way you want to pit to change to wets, the wets survive anyway.

I'd hate to be the one to give anyone any bad ideas... but the Slinger figure 8 has rain. (Also 49 AI pace laps is comical)

I just did two Spa races, one in the GTP and one in the LMP2 and it definitely seems like the GTP needs a tweak? I get it should be more challenging than the LMP2, but I was a couple seconds a lap faster in the LMP2. And this is with the track "moderately wet." Doesn't seem right for moderate to heavy rain the GTP is that much slower.

Doesn't seem right for moderate to heavy rain the GTP is that much slower. Maybe it needs a tweak, but if your struggles were under throttle then the torque from the battery is probably a huge contributor, LMP2 only gets torque from the ICE.

Bear in mind that the GTPs on a dry setup are basically the worst case for wet running, stiffer suspension, heavier, wider tires that hydroplane easier, less downforce, and instant electric torque

It could have a lot to do with setup. And while a lot of the difficulty is on throttle, they are just 10x more difficult everywhere. LMP2 I can still push on high and mid speed corners when I find the right line. GTP is death, only death.

After the successful Sebring race yesterday I've put up a session at Lime Rock for F4 and FF to get people warmed up for the next league season, practice starts in 1hr45m from this post, race ~1hr after that.

everyone has been saying it but drat, i'm very impressed with how good the rain is in iracing. especially how the track changes, be that getting wetter or drying out.

Yeah the dynamics of the whole thing really make it shine. The puddles are actually puddles!!

Maybe I just haven't played enough yet, but one thing I noticed missing is the drag you get from hitting pooling water. I can drive through what looks like some pretty deep puddles and the force feedback doesn't pull like the steering would in real life.
