Thursday Nights fun racing / Re: Season 2 - Thursdays« on: January 14, 2016, 10:51:38 PM »
Wanted to join in tonight but the little man had other ideas. On the nights I wanna play he's awake, and on the nights he falls asleep early i'm too tired to set my stuff up. Hopefully will be back more regularly soon.

Hardware & Reviews / New 'work' Laptop and selling old« on: January 13, 2016, 11:55:00 AM »
Just ordered my new 'work' laptop; Alienware 15 R2 with a GTX980M 8gb GPU. Looks like it's just slightly better performance than a desktop GTX 960, so should be able to push my settings in AC up a little. http://www.dell.com/au/p/alienware-15-r2/pd?oc=y5185a4au&model_id=alienware-15-r2
If anyone is interested once it comes I'll be selling my current gaming laptop which is a MSI GS60 Ghost 2PC (http://www.msi.com/product/notebook/GS60-2PC-GHOST) It cost $2300 + $100 for additional 8GB of RAM last January. I'd be happy to let it go for enough to allow me to build an okay gaming desktop, so somewhere around $1500. It's still quite a beast of a laptop, yet super slim and light. 1863

Hardware & Reviews / Re: THE Oculus Rift Thread« on: January 07, 2016, 10:57:27 AM »Not defending the price but there is peripherals included - headphones, gamepad, vr remote etc. From what I read it doesn't come with the fancy remote, just an xbone controller. 1865

Oculus is now available for preorder and costs a cool 1200aud delivered! Maybe I won't be doing some vr racing any time soon. Especially as I'd also need a new PC powerful enough to use it.

Australian Assetto Corsa League, Tuesday nights / Re: Jan 5 Fun Run: Lotus 72D vs. Ferrari 312T at Monza '66 and Paul Ricard« on: January 02, 2016, 09:08:59 PM »
Sounds fun. I've got out of the habit of playing AC since the baby and need to get back into it more regularly! Wish I had a permanent setup as the main thing I can't be bothered with is setting up my wheel etc..

Nice Bruce, I see you're playing right now
I've just started the career mode in the Mini and working my way through some of the stages. Tried a few stages with manual and clutch but my 72 year old ankle (aged by a specialist ) didn't like the clutch movement much... 1872

Anyone playing this now it's been released? I got it last week and had my first go at it last night. Pretty fun. Anyone know of any FFB mods for the final version? The ones mentioned earlier seem to be for pre-release.
edit: After further reading perhaps there is no need for mods anymore as vanilla settings are okay 1873

Lot of fun last night, great to be back after what feels like a long time off! The little one is 8 weeks now so guess it's around that long.
Escort was slippery as GB said and I found it a bit tricky; was trying to go in slow in and not spin the wheels, but ended up with people closing on me. One of the randoms got too frustrated trying to pass me and spun me around on the last turn of the race loosing me 2 places. Abarth was loads of fun once I stopped driving it like the Escort and realised how much grip it had. Fist race was going great and go into 4th until the last lap where I put it around the first corner a bit quick and couldn't hold the slide taking some people out in the process (Gratulin?) 1875
