Race 3 will be Joe's 500th season race.

Will also be on my 40th Birthday. Maybe why my ability seems to have dropped off the last couple of seasons  ;D

You guys are doing laps already?! No wonder I can't keep up this season! Need to pull my finger out and start doing laps before race night.

Well not even a mid season tyre change helped my pace, consistently just a bit off the pace.  But at least my starts were good :)
Unfortunately my last night was again marred by contacts which saw me well off the back of the field and hot lapping alone, but I still did like the karts.
Well done to those that mastered these little machines...

You didn't have your usual pace, but you were still consistent. Sitting behind you was my least favorite place to be this season as it was near impossible to get a clean pass.

Yeah it's a 43" 4k 120hz monitor

I have an arcade machine too it's a 2/3 size arcade1up cabinet. I modded it to run off a raspberry pi and put all new joysticks and buttons etc in

General Discussion / Virtual Pinball Cabinet
« on: November 23, 2022, 01:46:07 PM »
I had some spare monitors and an old work PC lying around so I decided to try and build a virtual pinball cabinet. I'd never done any woodwork before but I'd watched a few videos and thought I'd give it a go.

I learnt how to use sketchup to do a cad drawing of what I wanted based on dimensions of a real pinball machine but slightly adjusted to fit the screens I had. I then took that cad drawing and created a cut-plan, ordered a few cheap tools and some wood and started.

Here's a few pics of the first 3 weeks build. Got a lot done already but still a lot more to go! Work will likely slow down now that its actually playable  :o

Rooz race acc on Monday nights http://raceonoz.com/forums/index.php?forums/assetto-corsa-competizione-pc-monday-night.49/

Wally and mael and maybe a few others from here race with them

I seemed to find a bit of pace by not sliding much, trying to maintain as much throttle as possible without sliding. I tried slow entry, to get the power down from the apex.

x2!

It took a while for me to starting doing something similar, but these cars now need a totally different approach. There seemed to be a lot of understeer but that could also be me entering the corner way too fast!

This is what I was doing initially. You kind of needed to do that before, but now sliding around like that costs time.

55
I struggled to enjoy the night early on. Wasn't really a fan of the car changes and I'd done no practise with the new version. I did manage to find a bit of pace by the last race and had some good close racing. Didn't help that race 2 and 3 even starting near the front I bogged down and was quickly to the back of the field. Will have to practise some starts as with the previous car I was just full throttle and drop the clutch.

Not a bad result but could have been a couple of wins there if it wasn't for making my own mistakes, and Freezer being too damn consistent for so long!

You're killing it Brad. Might have to start doing some laps before race night to try and catch up!

I reckon that practise race I was turning my wheel no more than 45 degrees the whole night so maybe that's just how it is?
