670HP #Soon

Staff member Matt Holden posted in the forums what may be coming up leading up to the Daytona 500

You said there are no changes, that’s not true. The gen 6 is a known entity and directly mirrors how the Nextgen works, and that car is currently being changed to the 2022 spec, so if it works on the Gen 6 then it will work on the Nextgen car as well. Also, within the group we put together through the 2021 discussion, there are multiple leagues running Gen 6 superspeedway races in the coming weeks where we can see the changes at work and update what is needed.

Saying nothing has changed is completely false, we’ve been working on this for months, but as I said in that discussion topic we were going to take it off the forum because we had all we needed to move forward and can work in a controlled environment to push things forward

“

iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations announced today the acquisition of Monster Games, Inc. The Minnesota-based game development studio has a long history of racing game development, including the NASCAR Heat franchise and more recently Tony Stewart’s Sprint Car Racing game. The acquisition will bring another level of expertise under the iRacing roof, and further the company’s ability to bring the highest quality racing games to the broader market, including the console space.

This acquisition along with the previously announced Orontes Games purchase are standalone development studios and projects. The iRacing development team will remain 100% focused on continuing to develop the core product, iRacing. The iRacing platform is regarded as the most realistic and leading PC-based racing simulation on the market”

“We are at a point as a company that we are comfortable building out these two new teams to explore the broader racing game market to ultimately funnel serious sim racers to our flagship product iRacing on the PC.”

“I was getting very worried about Motorsports Games buying up everything possible in the market, they appeared to just be trying to capitalize on something, without caring about the actual product, another EA type situation we all went through in the early 2000s. Good to see iRacing start to protect the sector. We all know the passion iRacing/Papyrus has had for making racing games over the last 30 years, so it is great to see them dip their feet back into console/gaming and do more than just iRacing to fight this growing mess that is Motorsports Games, especially since EA ate up the F1 license.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3H5hK3RvGhw

Other Forum Takes:

Robert Crisdale Posts:

“Motorsport Games is another EA – full of cash and trying to buy everything. Papyrus were decimated with licenses taken then and between 2000 -2008 we had crap titles from EA which ultimately spawn Rfactor – modders and Iracing – ex Papyrus. Dave Kaemmer and Richard Garcia for that matter have been thru this all before, but this time are in a position to band with others and improve across the board and add console to the genre – something being PC only has been detrimental to licenses. These acquisitions will help i hope open up new content and secure others that have seen a spread of license purely just because Iracing scope has been limited to PC”

‘Twas the Racing Sim Before Christmas

‘Twas the Racing Sim Before Christmas a simracing themed poem for the holiday season.(original poem by Clement Clarke Moore)

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through my nest,
Not a sim was playing, not even Wreckfest;
The wheelbases were all left turned off and bare,
In hopes that a new wheel soon would be there.

It’s probably time to retire to my bed,
But ideas for setup tweaks are dancing in my head;
As mamma looks at statements, her finger does tap,
You reminder her it came out of a bonus; “I promise, no cap”;

From force feedback clipping, there arose such a clatter,
I hit the Escape key, to see what was the matter.
Into the settings, my cursor flew like a flash,
I would get a DD, if I only had the cash.

I mapped ECU buttons, to change on the go,
What that actually does, I only pretend to know,
When, what to my sim racing eyes should appear,
A heavy square box, but what type is not yet clear,

A new Simucube wheel sure would be slick,
Or a DD2 base, those things are sick.
But my expectations will still need to be tame,
Because my gift might actually be something lame;

With new gear across the finish line I would fly,
Up high on my podium, to the rookies I’d say bye,
I’d feel so cool, with gear shiny and new,
Come to think of it, I might need racing gloves too.

Thinking of tin tops, yes cars with a roof
I can’t focus on dinner, my attention is aloof.
Dreaming of my RSR driving round and round,
There is nothing better, than that sweet Porsche sound.

A nice racing boot would look nice on this foot,
But if none are coming, then my socks will stay put;
On Boxing Day, the Nordschleife I’ll attack,
Using cars I bought, in a DLC pack.

Driving a stickshift will someday be merry,
But learning to blipshift sure can be scary!
What’s the best looking sim car, I do not know,
But it definitely isn’t the GT4 X-Bow;

Simming an F1 car can be so much work,
Each time it oversteers, the steering gets a jerk,
What’s my next piece of sim gear, who really knows,
So with that said, I’ll bring this poem to a close;

May your new sim gear be clean as a whistle,
May your car on track be fast as a missile.
May your holiday sim racing be full of delight,
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!

https://www.racedepartment.com/news/twas-the-racing-sim-before-christmas.352/

World of Outlaws Week 5

Pennsylvania’s own Braden Eyler posted fast time in qualifying and won heat number 1 to take pole in the feature. New series points leader James Edens wins heat 3 to start in P3.

But just before the feature start James Edens gets struck by the disconnect bug and is only able to rejoin until after being a lap down. This after series leader from last week Alex Bergeron was disconnected in the feature and dropped him to 4th in the standings.

A large crash early in the feature near the front of the field takes out multiple drivers including Hayden Cardwell, which may have ended his hope of a series championship.

Cameron Merriman Takes the lead from Eyler early, but Eyler is able to work in the high line, reclaim the lead and hold on for his second career seres win with Merriman second and another Pennsylvania driver, Logan Rumsey finishing third.

Through sheer consistency, Cameron Merriman takes over the series lead with Alex Bergeron bouncing back to second and James Edens falling to third after the disconnect.

  • Git R Done Racing

Tyler P-10 Started in the back and quickly drove into the top 10 before first pit stops. Has a really fast car on old tires and saved a good bit of fuel. Led some laps under cycles and Ran around 5th most of the race till got caught up in a wreck from a driver that his VR went out. Limped to a P10 finish with heavy damage. Just glad I was fast and competitive especially at Dover

Known issue with AI Seasons

Staffer Michael Hinkle posted in the forums that there is a known bug affecting the use of AI seasons.  If a user creates and races in an AI season session they will currently have to wait for the entire race to complete, AI cars to pit and exit the sim before results will be generated for that session. If they do not wait for these results to be generated the AI season will not advance to the next race. The team is working on a solution to this problem.

Martin Lanza posted the irSidekick which is an application that provides a graphical way to save and switch controls.cfg files. People who have multiple wheels, with different control assignments and use these wheels on the same car either have to reassign controls or save/copy controls.cfg files, both methods are clunky and tedious.

    1. Ellis – p30 – was 27th when people started pitting under green on final run – decided nothing to lose stay out waiting for a caution – cycled up to 10th, pitted when out of fuel, and caution as I rolled onto pit lane. Ended up lap down fighting for lucky dog and took it 3 wide but the inside guy clipped apron just a hair, and we touched spun. 

Hall – p27 was running 20ish last pit stop made a mistake rushing in, Mike was out of gas, wasn’t sure if I could pass him or not and in the process I shifted into 1st and hurt the engine.

  • Man Cave After Dark Thursday Night Truck League
  • Saturday – SIM 500 eSports Racing League Throwback ARCA Series

V3 Pedal Dampener Fix

Kyle PendygraftThu, Oct 21, 9:59 PM (2 days ago)
to iracerslounge

So after changing out the Different stiffness of pads in the brake pedal, to all green it made the stiffness tighter. The throw was still kind of a long but there’s an adjustment on the brake pedal to fine tune it to where you can have less throw in the brake pedal. Once that was fine tuned I noticed a big difference in braking. I would before the change basically touch the brakes and would apply to much force causing the front wheels to lock up and slide. Now I’m able to apply an adequate amount of force on the brakes and make a smoother turn into the corner and still keep my momentum going, which has caused me to improve on my lap times. I’m going to continue to tweak the adjustment until I feel I can’t do any better. All in all, this chang has already made major improvements for my racing.

Side note this file will be a google drive folder link. I will also send this to you Via Discord. Fantec V3 Pedal Topic.avi

NASCAR iRacing Series

Fri open: 

  • Ellis –   pwrecked out. Just riding on the outside behind somebody and the guy in the inside that comes right up and to me and put it both in the wall 

Rochette P33 car came up from the grass hit a dumbshit that was on the front stretch apron and right into my driverside door killing my car thanks asshat

Brian- P33 destroyed early

  • Kyle – P- P F idiot drivers. Lap one doored by a guy who thinks its better to speed up and gain positions, instead of being cautious and avoiding other drivers during a wreck “what an idiot”  Lap who cares. Doored by a guy who got doored and put in the grass and decided to stay in the gas and then loses it and just slams up into me. Lesson everyone, HAMMERING down while out of control in the grass never ends well. “What an idiot” Rant over!

Hall – P. 1.  A very stolen win, but you get them stolen too, so took it.  Was running top 5 for most of 2nd half of race, as the set kicks in better high use track.  Caution with 15 to go, pit from third, gain a spot, restarting 2nd.  Iracing puts me on inside and gives me race control.  I go early, original leader didn’t think I had race control.  They were running me down with 3 to go but running out of time.  Caution.  Re-Rack, get a good start, hold if finishing by less than a car length ahead.

  • Sunday Open
    • Kyle – P. P-PASS
    • Hall – p. BS starts right back up,  3 guys can’t hold a lane in the first 5 laps, destroyed

Tom D – p20. One caution. Made mistake (Rochette’d) the pit stop and sped down pit road. 40 second penalty.  Fell 2 laps down. Could only work my way back to 20th. On to Martinsville

  • Sunday fixed 
    • Mike -p wrecked out – was missing all the big wrecks for a while – had worked my way all the way to the lead – eventually we had a deal where i was first on tires with 9 in front who stayed out – took it 3 wide and guy was clueless and just came up into us – the just riding around and get destroyed again by a guy loose coming down into the bottom lane. About 400 irating in 4 races lost

Brian – p21 made it all the way to a green white checker before getting destroyed

  • Race : Martinsville
  • Wed Open:
    • Hall –p wrecked on lap 1, unavoidable.  Fixed damaged, climbed to 12th around lap 200, engineblows.  Right back to the slump
    • Ellis – p wrecked out. Had a perfect car and a pretty good race run and top-five right up until about 40 to go and some guy divebombing like crazy took me out and I couldn’t steer the car but try to keep it on track that was a major mistake and ended up wrecking a couple people because I couldn’t steer. 

Kyle P P-13 Not much to say other then nothing put pace laps!
