I'll try my best to be around for some of the upcoming events. Been super busy with work projects, and haven't has time for much of any hobbies.

Good races. TrackIR talk: here's my graphs that I use for pCARS. Tiny deadzone for Yaw and then lock out looking too far to the sides. And then a tiny range for Pitch which allows looking down at the dash or up or down hills on the track easily. Note that this works for a triple monitor setup, so your results may vary if you are doing this single monitor... although I don't think it would be all that different as far as where you can look.

Welp, that's incredibly loving stupid. Finish my Formula Rookie season where I had a ton of new invitationals, did them, and had a metric asston of contract offers (an Endurance, 2 Formula B's, 4 GT4's, 2 Prototype 1's, 2 GT5's, 2 Formula Gulf's, and the contract renewal). I chose Formula Gulf for natural progression. Having nothing but repeat invitationals (that I already got the accolades from prior seasons) I skipped them all, kind of relieved by being able to focus on the contract at hand without being pulled off to use a bunch of cars I may or may not care to drive. Thought it was kind of funny that Formula Gulf only had two events, both on the same track (might've gone GT5 instead if I knew that, even though the Gulf seemed like a more cool car). Managed to win 3/4 races and am declared champion. Gleefully skip all the invitationals after to get moving onto Formula C with hopefully more than two race weekends. NOPE! Go to jail, do not pass go, get hosed guy... the only contract offer I get is a renewal for Formula Gulf again. For their proclamations of a no hassle career, it seems like a lovely oversight to allow zero forward progression when you win the championship of your current contract just because you didn't do invitationals on the side (I can understand not getting more offers than you can shake your fist at... I would've been just fine with just a Formula C or two for minimal effort that season). Guess it's good Zero to Hero lets you use 10 seasons since I didn't count on having to have a remedial Formula Gulf season because I didn't want to do the optional invitationals. Time to crank down AI difficulty, session length, and waste hours redoing invitationals (and the Formula Gulf season) just so I can continue progressing.  tl;dr: Cautionary tale: don't skip every invitational and only do your contract races (with Formula Gulf) because even if you're champion you don't get to progress. Edit: Anyone know if this is also true of longer contracts than the extremely brief Formula Gulf? If so, anyone know how many invitationals satisfies SMS's dickish coding to let you progress so I can minimize repeating stuff I don't care to? Edit 2: Oh lovely. I'd forgotten about the bug where sometimes (all the time?) setups don't save in career. Repeating invitationals I get to use loving awful default setups instead of the ones I spent 15~45 minutes making the cars actually drive nicely. PCars has made me very angry this day. bUm fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Jun 5, 2015 |

Yeah thanks for taking the bullet on that one. I'm in the exact same situation (Formula Gulf, skipped most invitationals). I did a few that I didn't complete in the previous season, but the ones I skipped were the ones I had already won, and also skipped one with cars that are completely loving bullshit (Lotus '79 and Ford GT Mk IV I'm looking at you) - so hopefully I don't have to repeat a year.

I set my trackir deadzones to zero for racing. There's no need to keep the head perfectly steady in a car like in a cockpit. I found once I did this using the trackir became much more natural for apex leaning

PS4 here. I guess I did find a bright side: I branched out and tried different cars in the trackday invitationals rather than always going McLaren F1 (faster tracks) or BAC Mono (more turn-y tracks) that are just plainly superior to everything else in the class. I liked the engine sound on the Ruf RGT-8, but otherwise it felt kind of like an oversteer-y, heavy mess (much like Ruf cars in GT always were). Gave the M-B SLS a try the next trackday invitational and it's a drat fine car; it certainly doesn't go toe-to-toe with the McLaren or BAC, but it felt very composed (when not bottoming out hardcore, it was Zolder and I couldn't adjust ride height) and smooth around the track for a street car. It also has nice interior styling to match. Athanatos posted:Same, I never do invitationals and I advanced just fine. Maybe I wandered into an anomaly and should post about it on the official forums (but that'd require making an account...  )? Don't see it as a known issue to not get a moving-up contract despite being crowned champion of your current contract.

I won the super kart championship last night and have only gotten Invitational offers, no contract offers for the next class of cars. I had to run invitational stuff before progressing from the little lawnmower karts, too.bUm posted:
Yeah, this is super frustrating. I always do practice with lots of pit stops to tweak the setup, finally get it right for qualifying (and it even seems to persist in qualifying), but for the race it's like someone put me in a completely different car. Also, Brits have left hand drive cars, so that makes this normal driving, right?
