I'm getting a checksum error on the server Wally. I redownloaded the OSRW mod but still getting it. I can load into the Wet practice server which is running the OSRW mod though.

Bit of a disaster for Maki Engineering.

It was a hard race with a few tactical mistakes. Decided to pit early but this lead to time loss in traffic instead of an undercut. Overall I thought my pace was comparable to Wally but unlike me he never made any serious mistakes.

In the team championship Team Struggle Street overtook team Maki Engineering. Hopefully Freezer again conjures a podium next race!
I nearly had a major fail at the fast left hander after Blanchimont, when I got unsettled by the kerb and had a 200 kph tankslapper that I just managed to hang onto. That could have been race over right there.

That would of been welcomed by me... You have 4 points on me now going into the last race. This fight for 4th place is on! Unless Guybrush fixes his gear for the last race, I'm expecting it to be between you and I, rival. Actually Matthew could steal it from us from here too.

I felt last night wasn't a very good performance on my part. I had some good racing with quite a few people but honestly if I didn't have that spin mid race when I caught up to you Wally then I could of grabbed some much needed extra points going into this last round.

I nearly didn't make it at all in the end actually. I started with a full tank and pitted lap 5 to fill it up again. (I had taken measurements during practice on how far a full tank was going to last me) It didn't cross my mind until a couple laps to go that I might not make it, I hadn't accounted for the fact that the track grip was gaining and I would be burning more fuel later on. Going into the last lap I was close behind Mael and crossing the line I was on 1.0 laps left of fuel. I was telling myself to not worry about the position and just fuel save entering a couple of corners and all will be good. Turn 1 (La Source) *Spelling?* Mael went completely sideways and I was able to take the position but then I knew I had to push to hold on to the position as we were side by side going into La Coombes (Again, not sure on the spelling) I was able to hold off Mael and I finished the race on 0.0 Litres left in the tank.

Australian Assetto Corsa League, Tuesday nights / Driver name update
« on: November 18, 2016, 08:45:28 PM »
Considering most people are racing with their first names, I feel that I want to do the same. Is this too much trouble? Can I just change my name in my AC profile and here on the site and it'll just work?

Just wanting to make the change here to go from hylas -> Shayne

Quite an eventful race. I was able to set a Q that put me just ahead of those that I felt I would be racing against (mainly Wally, I always aim to try and beat my rival). I thought that if I could put in some consistent laps at the start, that hopefully the pack of close drivers just behind me would battle each other and slow each other down a bit. Then I might just have a chance to get a good placing by the end of the race.

Turns out (Lap 2 I think) I was the one to make the early mistake. Going through a corner, my backend just stepped out with the heavy load and I couldn't catch it. I watched all the drivers I felt I should of been competing against just drive right by me. I slotted back into the tail end of the field and kept going. I knew this was going to cost me time if I was to fight for each position so I went in for fuel at Lap 5 and filled the car again. This was a quick stop as the car was full at the start of the race. I felt this should of given me from fresh air and to not worry about current standings as it'll shuffle around a bit later on. I had a few enjoyable overtake moments with some back markers during this stint but mostly it was quiet. This was until I seen my rival come out of the pits a couple seconds up the road and I pushed to try battle Wally in this stint. I wasn't really catching him at this point tho, my tires felt terrible and he doing good time. I went it to pit for tires at Lap 15 and thought to myself "I'll be back for you Wally" but I never seen him again.

On the new set of tires, oh my didn't it feel refreshing. Probably had something to do with having a spin early on with the first set. But this new set felt amazing. I watched Freezer battle a few guys a couple seconds ahead of me, knowing that I would probably have to do the same soon after him if I was to keep him in sight. I watched him have quite a long battle with Joe and thought that I would probably have to have a similar battle with Joe which in turn, would probably give Freezer a decent gap. This wasn't to be, Joe pitted shortly after being overtaken by Freezer. I turned my attention to Freezer and pushed to try make a battle out of this, or to get him to make a mistake. I had a couple of close calls trying to push too hard but for the most part we were both doing similar laps and the gap sat around 1 second until the end. It was a good race Freezer, really enjoyed that stint :D

I came to this race feeling that I needed to start getting some points over Wally, his been ahead of me from the start with this car and I haven't really battled him on track all season. I've be near him on track a few times but I feel I'm getting outclassed by my longterm rival this season. Lets see what you can bring to Paul Ricard :P

General Discussion / Re: QOS

QoS is a good option to consider. Just be aware that there's plenty of home routers that don't do it very well or really at all. Even the ones that state it's a configurable option.

I have a ADSL2+ router here (Netgear DGND4000) and it does absolutely nothing to stop a low priority node from using all the bandwidth even if it's competing against a high priority node.

Streaming video is quite taxing on how shit the average Australian internet connection is. You said you only sync at 3.5Mbps. Well my adsl2+ connection usually gets 20Mbps and streaming video can most certainly bring it to a halt. But the biggest killer to my bandwidth here for me is Steam, by quite a margin. Steam can max out your downstream instantly and keep it maxed until it's done with it's update or new install. Only really relevant if you have another user on the network that uses Steam.

Don't know what version of Windows you use but I'm pretty sure I remember hearing something about the user documents folder being uploaded on Windows 10 if you use a Microsoft account as your login. I wouldn't use a Microsoft account anyway, and would recommend using a standard login account if you don't already.

With the G25, socks were a good option for me, but with the load cell on the fanatic pedals I find my feet hurt when pressing down hard on the brake or they simply slide off.
All the optional screw holes hurt? ???
I had that. >:(
I just backed off the pressure required ('cause it was buggering my knee as well).
Kind of negates why I have a load cell..... ::)

Yeah, I've reduced the pressure to the minimum too. I found that at default it was so hard to push down to full brake that after awhile I would get tired and only be pushing down to 50%-75% brake and having my brake points be changing by quite a margin because of it. Also running up the arse of people when they slam on their brakes and I couldn't do the same to pull up in time. Then getting out of the chair relising how sore my leg was, it was a nobrainer to turn that pressure right down.

Interesting read. A lot of little differences we have.

It depends on the car that I'm driving to what my feet will be doing. In the current season I am left foot braking. But if I need to clutch in a car, then the left foot is basically solely used for the clutch and my right foot will be in control of the brake and throttle. I'm pretty bad at heal/toe, I need more practice there before I can rely on that technique. But thankfully it's not a requirement for anything we race or I can turn on auto-blip in AC. I've been meaning to start practicing the heal/toe technique in the new audi quattro in iracing.

I don't like racing in bare feet, it's too cold! Socks are on for all my racing. I'm with Phil too, I need to wear gloves for my wheel, I wasn't initially and relised after a couple months that I had started to wear down the Alcantara. After doing some races my hands can get quite sweaty and that was basically destroying the feel on the wheel. I don't have any fancy racing gloves or anything. I just grabbed the inserts out of my snow gloves :)

I'm not criticizing at all, just thought I would add something that might help out. I know I've improved by others making observations of me.

And I agree Joe, I had a great race with Nith at VIR aswell.

99
I decided to look at the replay and I see the same as what Freezer stated. Very quick steering input.

I'm wondering now, what do you have your wheel rotation set to Nith? Maybe you have too small of a rotation and that's causing you to work a lot harder then you need to.

Mine didn't work for either race, but it wasn't hard to just follow the person ahead and go when it was shouted in TS

ACT Plates

Surprising that this doesn't happen more often with them crazy people. So many bad drivers in Canberra.

Canberran mindset: 60 Zone? Nar I can take this corner at 90

PC is fixed, I'll see you all next round.

I went and bought a PSU today, no more performance problems ;)
