Wow, there's another adjustment I hadn't seen in MAPPINGS...
WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
Sitting so high now that I can see there are two antennas.

I must've changed that setting without noticing a while ago, that's why I though this track seemed way too flat and objects couldn't be seen fast enough to react. My seat was adjusted at lowest setting.

Thank you Evo!

I've just done a 1:09.555
Not true

I can see already many will raise their seats. :
Beware of yellow font.

The antenna may not bother some but it sure did bother me because my seat was too low, I changed the setting and I was not aware I did. While my seat was at lowest possible position, the track looked so much flatter, making braking references very difficult, add to that 2 antennas that combined to look like one tall fat antenna, enough to block cars and braking marks far enough in front, a real problem flat out in both stretches at indy.

As mentioned before by Evo and then me, raising the seat has solved this issue. Mirrors had to be adjusted horizontally AND vertically. Perfect view now.

Sorry if I started something stupid, not my intention.

I've finally settled on one setup for Indy. One goal only, finish the race, i just don't care about the podium, monitoring tire temp continually the whole race demands too much from me. I used to love this track, but not with this mod.

rYugan, are you "The Stig" from Top Gear?

Checked again, I wasn't at the lowest setting because you can't see the track anymore at lowest setting possible. Still , it was too low for subtle things, some of these adjustments are easily changeable by mistake without noticing.

For those who want to adjust it s the [ key for up, and the ' key for down.

Don t forget to tweak you r mirrors after!

How the heck they manage to have such control when not looking at the direction of the car from behind the wheel but constantly from different angles, insane.

Leaving home now, 6pm (7pm your time).
Nissan truck, I'll use boost 10.
Hope I am back in time, around 8 30- 9 pm here.

My wife canceled the shopping because of tonight's race.
Remind me to tell her I'm not getting paid millions.

So did I, DC, but never saw a dc message so I went on to do 55 laps. Happens sometimes other cars disappear, so I kept going, as any good junkie would, just in case...

Save our replays?

I just tried to join server now 1045pm( your time 11 45, session closed) you restared the race?

That was a beautiful flip/accident at 1st corner, I just went through hoping the car wouldn't come to the left of the track and made it.

Good thing I did not call ISP technical support and give them my usual dragon's breath.

I'm on Brianza already.

I was offline but can host.

Look for MSR, gimme few minutes to setup server settings.

Let me know if you can't see server or can't connect.
---------------------------------------------------------

Ready!

I named it Malaysian Sim Racers

You should find it if you refresh server list, not by IP address ( 125.27.28.59).

I'm trying to figure out how to make practice periods last longer. Presently 20 minutes only.

Brianza, now there's a track with good FFB!
I couldn't believe the difference from Indy to Brianza, I run 100% and full FFB. Indy felt like a "carpenter's delight" (flat chested woman)

Mara, I tried twice to connect to your server, circuit splash screen appears, then chat window shows but no Penzman entered the race, no driver showing, no LOAD RACE as well, game seems to crash. I opened same circuit TEST RACE, no problem.

come and join the junkies!

Great quality F1 footage I had never seen before.
More on the menu on the right of that page.

Watch it here

Gotta love it, in one of the black and white videos, a Ferrari is at the pit, guy bangs at the wheel with a hammer, then waves him to go go go!

Is someone hosting Monza?

Wouldn't mind hosting myself but I keep going in circles trying to figure out why practice sessions are only 20 minutes long by default.
