Seriously, why do people refuse to slow down/brake when they crash? http://pahlavan.se/dump/what_are_brakes.webm (Quality became poo poo for some reason.) If I didn't slow down my car on the clip I posted earlier where a guy rams me off the track, I would've bounced back in and people would've smashed into me.

I leave it on but bound a key to mute driver. If anyone goes on a whine parade I just mute them.

There are also some people that think a good way to let people past is to call out pass left or right or whatever and then just slam on their brakes on the racing line.

When you start racing with non rookies there's a lot of chatter but also useful info like learning that a driver is driving like poo poo or where the pace car is so you can shoot out of the pits before going a lap down. Where the wreck has occurred if it's behind you. Also for drafting I would always let a guy know I was going to bump them or if I wanted to hook up with someone and start a 2 car train.

Is there a good etiquette guide for drafting? I always thought it was just "stay a couple feet behind" and not "push with your bumper" but I guess my way of thinking makes no sense. I googled for a specific iracing guide but didn't see anything.

There's no real simple answer to cover all the car/track combos, but you basically want to be as close as possible. For most cars on a big enough track and with a stable enough setup you can bump draft comfortably, I know there are some Indy guys doing that this week at Michigan. If you've got a specific car or track in mind we might be able to give some more specific tips.

If I'm being lapped, I very frequently lift off for a second or two just to make sure I have the grip necessary to keep my line and let them pass inside. Oftentimes this is met with me just getting plowed in the rear end by some dick who refuses to be in control enough to take the inside line. EDIT: In Rookie Road news, I managed 2 consecutive laps on Summit Point with no incidents with the MX-5. This is in test, mind you. I'm going to focus on one or two tracks this rookie season and try to learn them as best I can. Overwined fucked around with this message at 18:44 on Jul 31, 2014 |

That's the best way to do it imo - give a little indicator with the lift but then just run a line and let the fast car deal with passing. The one I really have a problem with is the immediate cut off-line on turn exit, which will almost always lead to an incident. It just comes down to one thing - be predictable.

Finally snagged a driving force gt wheel today!  So psyched to not be horrible anymore. I know a few people have chimed in with champions playing with a gamepad, but Ive always hated hated them. I guess I just have clumsy thumbs. For example, GTA is my favorite series ever. I own a 360 and yet I refuse to play GTA:V until it comes out on PC because I hate gamepads that much.

also remember that different vehicles may need different FFB strengths (Which can be adjusted in race) If I had the setting at 12 for trucks, and went to indy my hands would be numb in no time from the deathgrip I needed so I'd need to dial it down a bit.

I feel lovely having to defend my position by driving on the Michigan apron, but until iracing makes the apron a 1x off track or the indycar fixed setup makes that line a major disadvantage I'll have to start running there.

What do you guys do when people are lagging super hard? I've had three races in a row where someone is lagging unbearably bad to the point where this last race I was on the high side at Charlotte oval and somehow I got turned by someone who was on the low line. No contact on my screen, but of course a 4x and it spun me around. I wish I could protest these guys for having 900+ ping.

Unless the guy is in the US or something and trying to play on a copper line I'd just chill, sometimes the servers group people in a way that shafts certain regions at certain times of day.

900 does seem a bit extreme though. I usually see ~60 on local servers (US on US, EU on EU, AU on AU), ~150 for Europe-US and US-AU, then about 300 for AU-EU.

You can get it if enough Euro players are online to force a Euro server with Au players on it.

Anyone ever experience cars vanishing and reappearing? Is that also because of some network issues or something? Some cars do it all the time to the point where I just avoid driving near them.

It happens if someone else has a terrible connection. Usually it is someone who won't use voice chat or text and is driving like an idiot. iRacing is supposed to boot them from the game if their connection gets too bad but it often doesn't. Just stay away from them because there's not much you can do about it.

My D License is now 4.42. Yay. People have been telling me that nascar trucks is the most popular so I guess I should go with that. But then there is the other nascar iracing series where you can drive one of three cars. No idea which one to pick. Any tips? Chevrolet SS, Ford Fusion or a Toyota Camry. God drat it why isn't there a try before you buy.

Figured they should at least be different a little bit since they are different cars. Is it just that the cars really are very similar or that iracing doesn't bother simulating them properly? By the way, there doesn't seem to be any sessions at all for Nascar Iracing Series. At least not when I'm looking. I see sessions for the nascar trucks though. Maybe I should just get a truck and go full redneck. Boar It fucked around with this message at 17:22 on Aug 4, 2014 |

I don't have much time to memorise tracks and tweak settings these days but I love the iracing online experience, I think it's unique and fun. So having said that what do you guys think is the easiest way to jump in and play? I'm thinking rookie ovals, but am I missing anything?
