Combat Pretzel posted:I don't know. Never cared enough to look at setups from within the lobby, because usually it works out well enough. Save some hiccups like this. If all else fails, throw slicks/not-rain tires on for any dry weather, and if the race allows pits, change 'em to rain tires if it starts raining. Probably a real good chance you're getting consistent weather/track conditions, so don't worry on pitting. holocaust bloopers posted:Willow Springs is deceptively punishing.

I want to draw attention to the lap number, time in race, and/or the description of the video, in case you guys are only fixating on the fact that there was a glitch for this particular sim racer.

Kilonum posted:Set a loving push to talk button or get yelled at by I guess it's a little different for a racing game where a push to talk can be a bit more difficult, but still. widespread posted:My question is, why are you letting the game decide on what tires you need. From my understanding, it's really best to just set the tires manually, as I said before. I also had this issue last night: was driving my BAC Mono for an invitational and couldn't figure out why during a 12 minute light clouds/foggy practice I not only couldn't come close to keeping up with AI, was losing traction all over the place, and my tires literally would not warm up (even after ten laps they were still solid blue). Mucked with settings for a bit trying to make it more manageable while getting confused because it'd been fine the previous event in the invitational before thinking that it was giving me the wrong tires. Sure enough: changed them and had all the grip. On a related note: it should totally give you a weather forecast so you know what's coming. Modern race teams keep a close eye on the weather if it's going to be a factor and it seems pretty awful to have no idea and just have to roll the dice on tire choice based on current conditions. Also on a related note: I wish the tire types were more clear. Many of them mention clearly whether they're Soft/Slick/Rain, but I think it was the invitational with the old school BMW race car that the tire names were in German and I had no clue what was what. Realism is great, but not clarifying foreign languages is not so great.

Yes a weather forecast or a "Hey we're seeing rain approaching in the radar." a lap or two out would be tremendous.

bUm posted:Because he, like many, probably assume that it will only give you rain tires if it's actively raining because that's exactly what you would think it would do when it says it sets them according to weather conditions. Combat Pretzel posted:Game's really inconsistent. In the lobby before the game started, I specifically changed the setup to medium slicks on my GT3 car, saved it to ALL circuits, and when the game started, I had to pit and checked things, it was again set to auto. Hm. I'm not sure what it could be, but I recently learned that- at least with controllers- you could just press A after tuning everything to your likes to go back to the menu before the race. I'll try it real quick to see if it does automatically switch to automatic tires. EDIT: Semi-conclusive result in saving the different tire styles. If we're talking switching them in pits, then just save the settings under a name. Other than that, yeah, keep off automatic and save every pit. widespread fucked around with this message at 23:27 on May 17, 2015 |

bUm posted:FTFY. I'm going to disagree with you here. Console gamers rarely have push to talk enabled and with a game requiring focus like this it's a bit much. Keeping the mic away from your face so you're not broadcasting your breathing to the world should be enough.

Yeah we run into each other constantly that's why it's so fun. I mean, not on purpose, usually, but just because we're terrible drivers.

Bumping into each other is practically unavoidable. Rear mirrors are only so useful, the camera perspective gives a false sense of space and everyone cuts you off, anyway. Plus the game doesn't have nearly enough blue flags (--edit: assuming they wouldn't get ignored to begin with).

At least when you wreck friends you can apologize and they might actually think you mean it. They might even laugh about it. Randoms? They're gonna treat you to 10 minutes of gory details the ways they're going to defile your rear end in a top hat.

Once you clear an event your calendar takes you to the next event you're eligible for. So if an invitational is halfway through a regular season of whatever, it'll just be the next event it shows you once it's time, with the option to skip it.

Its biggest failing is overuse of stock or b-roll footage, the racing they show you never really matches what's going on. It's a product of its time.
