Thanks guys! Was good to get a few laps in and be able to remember that I drive even worse than normal with a controller And to rub salt into the wound @Talentloos goes and wins comfortably using a PS controller.

Sorry we lost connection to @Camky007 between the end of Quali and the Race start. These connection issues are hell of a frustrating. Hopefully things go a lot more smoothly tomorrow.

See y’all then!

It’s the poor workman that blames his tools Greggy.

Excited for tonight. Hope @Solitude still has his proper connection and that @DieGrootHammer has his shit sorted.

Thanks guys, it was fun racing again! I also hope that the internet keeps on working. For all of us.

Interestingly I had the same problem last night that I had when I first got the game. Where I can turn my wheel all the way but the car just doesn’t want to turn. Will have to try and sort that out before we race.

DarthMol · February 13, 2020, 6:31am

What happened to the wheel?

DarthMol · February 13, 2020, 6:33am

What’s your rotation set at?

I’ve got mine set at 360 degrees (like the F1 cars have) but I’ve found that I can turn the wheel past that if I’m not careful, as in it doesn’t stop rotation but rather gives a mild resistance. So I land up turning and turning to no effect. Outside of the game the wheel gives a much stronger resistance when hitting the 360 degree limit.

Solitude · February 13, 2020, 6:35am

I think mine is set to 180 degrees. Must have a look.

I did some reading and it may be that I’m turning the wheel too much which causes understeer. I will do some testing tonight before the race.

DarthMol · February 13, 2020, 6:39am

I found I encountered huge understeer when I played F1 after not playing for a long while. I thought it was settings etc. then I started slowing down more and found I could make the corners a lot better. Turns out I just needed to remember how to drive an F1 car again!

GregRedd · February 13, 2020, 6:39am

Disconnected it over the weekend to sort out the cables, and then never actually got around to doing that Will hopefully get a chance to set it back up before we race tonight. Hopefully.

Solitude · February 13, 2020, 6:41am

Haha I think that’s my problem too.

DarthMol · February 13, 2020, 6:42am

Ah ok, I was just worried their was an issue.

Now I know it’s just pure laziness

GregRedd · February 13, 2020, 6:49am

Yeah, that and because I will have to crawl around under the desk and squeeze behind it to get the cables where I want them to go. And because I’m old and decrepit and my joints ache. But yeah, mostly just pure laziness

DarthMol · February 13, 2020, 6:57am

I remember seeing a graph once that went something like this:

GregRedd · February 13, 2020, 7:07am

This is 100% accurate!!

Wyvern · February 13, 2020, 7:09am

For us all!

oltman · February 13, 2020, 8:26am

Sorry I missed it, will be online at 8:30 tonight.

DieGrootHammer · February 13, 2020, 3:54pm

Sorry guys I won’t be able to make it tonight. I’m not home tonight but you should all have a good race.

GregRedd · February 13, 2020, 4:02pm

No worries Hammer. We’ll miss you and @oltman, but at least we might get a couple of different drivers on the podium tonight .

Thanks for letting us know. Hope you both have a “lucky” date nights!

GregRedd · February 13, 2020, 4:05pm

The rest of you, be warned… my wheel is back up and running, and I’ve just set a 1:30.9 on only my second TT lap.

Don’t @ me!

SlinX · February 13, 2020, 4:35pm
