A Thrustmaster T500.

[Joe]

All the practice I'm doing has started to pay off, I've managed a few 2:15s in the 458 which I'm pretty happy with. I tried the merc yesterday which is fun to drive but my times were quite a bit slower.

I think I finally sorted by GPU freeze issue too. I was using an app called fanaleds to have the LEDs on my G27 working in AC. Once I closed that my freeze ups disappeared. Weird thing is I tried closing it once before, and didn't help so perhaps it's on conjunction with something else I changed. Last night I played a few hours with no freeze up and hoping that continues...

Joe Ive been using fanaleds woth no issues, its more likely to be a 3rd party python app as these tend to break things at times. I know when I tried OV1 things turned to crap and so I havent used that since. Also Ptracker at times with large fields tends to effect my fps but fine with up to abput 15 on it just get worse with 24 or more and live sector data.

Still the shift lights on a g27 are more gimmick then a feature and pretty useless, if they werent on I wpuldnt even notice I think. I use dashmeter pro for my dash data and shift lights. Way more usefull then those tiny little lights on the g27.

Thanks for the info Marty. I'm using both OV1 and PTracker so if I experience issues again I'll try turning those off.

Wally could you password the practice server please tried running laps there and a few too many random idiots, which cant be kicked.

Still havent made up my mind yet on the car but comfirmed the Alfa is clearly the fastest here , definitely not going the bmw grp A as even the DTM I am 3 seconds slower then the Alfa and 5 seconds slower in the grp A. I tried the Ruf and its way too slow here anyway so wouldnt want it anymore anyway. Pretty close between KTM, f40, and 458 which are similar to the times I can do in the e30 DTM.

Well, your car will be there waiting for you.

[Joe]

Looking forward to tonight. Bit worried about taking people out. Usually I find I let people by as I worry too much about taking them out...

[Bird]

Well, if the choice is letting them pass you or taking them out, then you certainly making the right decision.
If someone is clearly faster, let them have it.  Nobody wins when it comes to too much tussles.  Altho a little friendly door-banging is always fun

[Wobblyone]

don't worry joe u should find ur pace and have a relative speed to the guys around you....if its ur first race u are gonna be stressed but try your best to enjoy it..if u hit your usual markers etc just keep your line and pace its the other guys job to get past cleanly, unless blue flags then try to roll out of the way best u can...if u do make a mistake in the race and take someone else out...u wont be the first or last of us to do it   just enjoy my friend and with time the pace will come

[Bird]

Actually, even with a blue flag, don't do the unexpected and scramble out of the way instantly.  Often the best thing is just to keep going. If your normal speed is slower anyway, they'll easily get on the inside to the next corner.  Don't close the door on them, that's all. 

I think the exception is if someone behind is clearly faster in laptime, but their car has no top speed; in that case it's nice to give up the inside line to them, and stick to one side of the track until they're past.   

In any case, try to avoid sudden direction changes or slowdowns, they can lead to accidents (eg if someone is right behind you trying to get a draft; lifting for them is a sure way to end up in a tangle)

[marty]

If you happen to take out a bunch of Alfa's and Merc's I cant see any issues with that.
