geeves posted:Now that football is nearly finished, I'm going to setup a quick 5-week M3 season to start in late January. The season will start with the E30 and end with the E92. 5th week will be your pick of M3 possibly at the full Nurburgring, Le Mans w/chicanes or VIR East/West. The Porsche pack will also be required (sorry poors) because VIR will be one of the stops and racing on it is awesome. Let's start this week! If we could start at 1 Eastern it would be perfect though. What do you think?

Week 1: E30 at Spa Tune should be shared under KimJongUnOnAPug 10 min ghosted qualifying Time race @ 45 min or ~17 laps. That hopefully should keep the total time to around an hour.

geeves posted:That works out well! Timed races don't calculate who wins correctly. It's been a problem since at least forza 3. Really stupid. That's why I always just did races with lots of laps instead of timed races. For qualifying what you do is a set number of laps that will last 10 minutes. Set the grid order to "fastest lap of previous race : ascending" and it will put the grid in the order of fastest clean laps then fastest dirty laps.

Good to know. I may bump up the race to 20-21 laps. It will make things interesting pit stop wise. Hotlapping I can get 11 laps before running out of fuel. Not sure what will happen under race conditions. I don't want to force quickstops. That's lame. Edit: http://soulglo.com/m3tourage/ geeves fucked around with this message at 04:43 on Feb 9, 2017 |

I love how even with upgraded tires the game treats the puddles on Sebring like they are 5 feet deep.

Yes, logically speaking, in real life stock or street tires would be better. Or, a specific rain tire, but that isn't available. In the game, none of them are any good. It's like you're driving with Linglong tires. Obviously they overdid it a bit to show off the new rain feature.

Dynamic weather (and weather in general) are those things that seem cool until you're in a sim with them and then they become annoying. Rain racing sucks.

Rain racing would be fine if the sim has proper pit settings and poo poo. Unfortunately I haven't found a game that does both well. Actually F1 2106 handles dynamic weather decently now that I think about it.

Rain racing sucks. f1 2013 made me a true believer in dynamic weather. in fact it was the best thing about the game and it made long races so much cooler. it'd be fantastic for long races in forza. and rain racing rules in forza, being in a lobby where the chucklefucks voted random instead of watkins glen made us get nordschleife rain and it was one of the most fun things i've ever done in any forza ever.

I'll have a car ready, but I learned today that when it's my "Saturday" and I'm in bed with the choice to sleep in or get up like it's a workday (I work PM shift) the bed wins. I didn't stand up until 1:45. Sorry, even as bad as I would have driven I still would have enjoyed hanging out.
