[bleak flare]

yea

[lone wagon]

I think I'm gonna be battling for podium or race win

at least i hope

[bleak flare]

my goal for the season is a podium

[lone wagon]

It's definetly possible

[bleak flare]

and if i achieve it, then my goal will be to get more or maybe even a race win

[lone wagon]

Do you guys think that a cabled internet (ethernet) would be better than the actual wireless I have?

[bleak flare]

YES

[oak ferry]

yes

[lone wagon]

A H

[oak ferry]

ethernet>>>>>>>>wireless

[lone wagon]

That's why I lag so much

Lel

[bleak flare]

ethernet is always better

[oak ferry]

you will have at least 25% if not 50% faster speeds

[bleak flare]

^^

[oak ferry]

depends how good or bad your internet is though

[lone wagon]

just need to buy 15 metres of cable then and I'm fine

[bleak flare]

and much more stability

[oak ferry]

what do you get usually

download speed

[lone wagon]

My internet is average

10/15

[oak ferry]

you'll be able to get 20 probably

[lone wagon]

Wow

[bleak flare]

main benefit from ethernet is that you have 100% connection to the router

[lone wagon]

Gotta buy it then

Yeah

[oak ferry]

which isn't great but it will have the side effect of a much better ping

[lone wagon]

Wtf 15 metres of cable is just 8€

Awesome

[bleak flare]

get it fam

[lone wagon]

I will

[fossil estuary]

i have 100/100

[bleak flare]

same

well

near enough

[lone wagon]

I always disconnect mid session with wireless lmao

[bleak flare]

there's your problem

playing with wireless internet in 2018 smh

[oak ferry]

I have 50/40

but I'm in backwards UK so it's a good speed

[lone wagon]

My problem is that router is in another room

[oak ferry]

mine is downstairs

[fossil estuary]

same

[lone wagon]

And between the router and the pc there's the hall

[bleak flare]

i had to cable through a floor and 2 walls when i lived with my mom

[lone wagon]

I'll fit it on the ceiling I guess

[bleak flare]

now it's just 3 meters to the router 👍

[lone wagon]

I hope this resolves my problems

[bleak flare]

you should definitely notice improvements in stability

[lone wagon]

I honestly always thought that 10 of ping and 13 of download was enough to run codies multiplayer

[oak ferry]

10 ping is great

[lone wagon]

but it never worked well

[bleak flare]

it is

[lone wagon]

Ik

[oak ferry]

do you mean 10 download

[lone wagon]

No

[bleak flare]

but

ping isn't how stable the connection is

[lone wagon]

Ye

[bleak flare]

wireless drops very frequently

so you have packet loss and all sorts of bad shit

[lone wagon]

Is download speed relevant to gaming?

[bleak flare]

to a point, yes

[lone wagon]

uhm

I have like

3-4

[oak ferry]

holy shit

[bleak flare]

you shouldn't need too much to have a good experience

obv it depends on the game

[oak ferry]

3-4 is too low

[bleak flare]

ye

[lone wagon]

I know its low

[bleak flare]

10 should be fine

[lone wagon]

But i cant have more

I have the best internet available in my shit zone

[bleak flare]

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[oak ferry]

hot

[bleak flare]

i love how it's included in my rent as well

along with water and heat

[lone wagon]

Fuck off Denmark

[bleak flare]

[oak ferry]

[lone wagon]

Wth

[oak ferry]

[lone wagon]

Idk

[bleak flare]

[oak ferry]

Scandinavia was just ice until 50 years ago

[lone wagon]

[bleak flare]

[bleak flare]

[bleak flare]

brigate your internet cables are just spaghetti

[lone wagon]

yes

[oak ferry]

spaghetti-optic

instead of glass fiber they use spaghetti

[lone wagon]

I live in countryside

[fossil estuary]

oh

[bleak flare]

oof

[lone wagon]

Scandinavians don't even have that

[bleak flare]

country spaghetti

[lone wagon]

Just ice

[fossil estuary]

[fossil estuary]

[fossil estuary]

we scandi people got like a good balance

[lone wagon]

[bleak flare]

yee

[orchid ibex]

well, everything is shit here too

[bleak flare]

balance is good

[waxen girder]

Its because so few people here know what it means, so the isps take it as an advantage

[bleak flare]

hoh

country bumpkins

[earnest tulip]

http://prntscr.com/klcho1

[oak ferry]

a lot of these "new" countries such as Ireland, Scandinavia, Germany etc. have really good internet because until recently everything was empty. They don't have to spend money re doing everything and could install great stuff

[earnest tulip]

not too far off of the pace xD

[oak ferry]

upload is PFFFT

[lone wagon]

Add me on steam boy @earnest tulip

[fossil estuary]

we got the oil in the 60s

[bleak flare]

we've been switching to fiber for a few years now

[oak ferry]

fiber used to be like snake oil

[lone wagon]

Well lads now I'm off for the finale of mh f1 2017 career

See ya

[oak ferry]

then all the companies drown out the ones making actual good internet

[bleak flare]

bai boi

[oak ferry]

for example hyperoptic

[fossil estuary]

like my school actually have decent internet

[oak ferry]

£20 a month

up to 1GB download

[fossil estuary]

i can watch videos in 1080p

[oak ferry]

my school has great internet

and all the computers use ethernet ports

the download is like 180

and upload about 100

[fossil estuary]

i havent checked that stuff at my school, will tomorrow

[bleak flare]

i was once in an internship in the largest marketing company in scandi

[fossil estuary]

noice

[bleak flare]

their GUEST WIFI had 2.5GB/2.5GB

i'm like

[fossil estuary]

oof

[oak ferry]

[bleak flare]

what is this world filled with so many wonders

[oak ferry]

NASA has 500gb/s internet

[bleak flare]

nasa is nasa

[fossil estuary]

probably more

[oak ferry]

NASA gets 500bn a year to have good internet

[bleak flare]

of course they have op internet

[oak ferry]

wait no it was 91 gigabits

[fossil estuary]

ive been to Johnson space center in texas

[oak ferry]

but that was 2014

thanks

[bleak flare]

holy shit

[fossil estuary]

dang

[oak ferry]

tbh this isn't the place to talk about internet

[fossil estuary]

true

[bleak flare]

this is £30/month for gigabit internet

legend

[oak ferry]

internet prices are pretty similar

but the good shit is only in cities

if the internet was so good why is there no internet tw-

[fossil estuary]

lmao

[oak ferry]

internet2 is the company that does the op internet for nasa

[bleak flare]

business internet

[fossil estuary]

1500 NOK for 1000/1000 here

[bleak flare]

yearly?

[fossil estuary]

nope

monthly

[oak ferry]

ok you think that is good

https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/fastest-ever-internet-speed-1-4-terabits-achieved-london-1433465

[fossil estuary]

17k yearly

[oak ferry]

1.4 terabits

welcome to London

[bleak flare]

holy fucking shit

[fossil estuary]

WTF

[bleak flare]

44HD films/second

what

what

[oak ferry]

you would need a SOLID SOLID solid state drive for that

[bleak flare]

i could fill up my entire pc in less than a second with that

i have 1.25 TB

[oak ferry]

1.4 terabits is only 175 gigabytes

[bleak flare]

oh

right

i'm dumb

[oak ferry]

I know :-D

I keed

[bleak flare]

: (

[earnest tulip]

[earnest tulip]

[bleak flare]

I forget whether or not this has been asked, but will there be practice every weekend or is it just quali+race?

[waxen girder]

We'll try to set up practice sessions before the qualifying

[lone wagon]

Lmao in my garage i found 30 metres of Ethernet cable

The fuck

[bleak flare]

jackpot

[lone wagon]

Yeah but It's too much @bleak flare

I need the half

[bleak flare]

oof

[lone wagon]

I will try if it works

Then I will buy 15 metres of CAT7

[bleak flare]

well as long as you get it working before the league

then it should be golden

[lone wagon]

That's the problem

Heh

I have 1 week buy a cable, make it pass through my house hall (on the ceiling) and make it pass through a wall

[waxen girder]

nah nah you have like 2 weeks at least before hte league starts

[bleak flare]

doesn't it start on the 2nd?

[lone wagon]

Yeah

[bleak flare]

so one and a half week

[lone wagon]

Also i go to monza the full weekend so I won't be home the weekend

Wait

Now that i think of it

I won't be able to join in time for the first round

[bleak flare]

it's sunday evening fam

dunno how close you live to monza

[lone wagon]

I don't know either

Its 1 hour or so

[bleak flare]

then you may be able to make it

7pm BST/8pm CEST

[lone wagon]

1 hour and 41

Uhm

Race ends 17:10

+podium 17:30

[bleak flare]

gotta go fast then

[lone wagon]

Well wait

Monza is the fastest race of the year

1 hour and 20 usually

So

Race ends 16:30

+podium 17:20

2 hours of car

There will be traffic

19:20

I won't make it

[bleak flare]

starts around 20:00 tho

so like

+- 40 minutes leeway

maybe you can

[lone wagon]

Im not sure my calculations are right

Depends on where we park the car& how many people there are

[bleak flare]

ofc

[lone wagon]

unless it starts like at 20:30/21 CEST i won't make it

[bleak flare]

well

vind did talk about potentially having some praccy

so if you can't make it for that, then maybe you can make it for quali+race

[lone wagon]

We will see Idk

[bleak flare]

yea

[lone wagon]

I go to the Saturday too

So i can see when i get home

And add 30 minutes of race+1 hour

[bleak flare]

yeye

using saturday as a yardstick

[waxen girder]

well i was thinking of doing practice before 7

[bleak flare]

o

[waxen girder]

so like 1 practice session at 5

[bleak flare]

makes sense tbh

[waxen girder]

1 at 6

then quali at 7 or 6:30

[bleak flare]

i see

it's 50% races, ye?

[waxen girder]

thats the plan

[lone wagon]

Well

I'll DNS then

sad

[bleak flare]

DNQ rather

[lone wagon]

[wooden kestrel]

DNP

[ebon linden]

Ahhhh fuck

Idk if I can qualify

Oh well back of the grid means no one dive bombing me into turn1

[wooden kestrel]

interesting grid I already see

[lone wagon]

When do you get home @ebon linden

[ebon linden]

Think I land at 5pm

Maybe be home around 6-7pm

Then download the game

[lone wagon]

Well

How much will it take

Ffs my Wi-Fi just

[neat bronze]

42GB I think

[oak ferry]

43.211GB for me

[proper sphinx]

23.6 for me lmao what

[waxen girder]

Headline edition maybe?

[proper sphinx]

No i have that too

[wooden kestrel]

Head line edition shouldnt ve that big tho

Its only 2 extra car right no way thats 20 gb xd

[proper sphinx]

http://prntscr.com/klqxyu thanks internet

[broken nest]

im jelly

[earnest tulip]

how are you guys already downloading the game?

[fossil estuary]

pre download

cant play it until it releases

[earnest tulip]

just saw

thats good to be able to do

yeah, im getting 23.6 gb too

[fossil estuary]

same

[crimson tangle]

Thank you, Hodg5on for mentioning vind. He'll be right with you.

[earnest tulip]

@waxen girder what are the team channels for in the f12018 tab? are they just planning channels or are they the channels we are using when we are racing

[waxen girder]

they are there for the racing

[earnest tulip]

okay thansk

[grave crescent]

so i have to download 23.6Gb aswell, how did they get nearly 40 gb?

[oak ferry]

23Gb sounds too small

[grave crescent]

yeah F1 2017 has like 30gb

[fossil estuary]

Thats because steam downloads are compressed

The actual game folder is larger

[limpid socket]

has race times beenb decided yet?

[bleak flare]

atleast for the first couple of rounds afaik

[waxen girder]

yes

aiming for:

Practice: 18:15-18:45
Quali: 19:00
Race: 19:30

[bleak flare]

i'm guessing we aim for earlier times during the american races

because time zones

[waxen girder]

why

[bleak flare]

might conflict

[waxen girder]

ah yeah

[bleak flare]

ye cota would start at the same time

8 pm CEST

so would mexi

and brazil an hour earlier

[waxen girder]

yeah so then we'll set the race a bit earlier

[bleak flare]

👍

[limpid socket]

ow i see you do it so we wont miss f1 races in real

when will the full schedule be released?

[woeful bough]

We should do the National anthems

For the race and podiums

Don't ask me where I got this amazing idea from though

[bleak flare]

Hell yeah

I want der er et yndigt land

[wooden kestrel]

Deutschland deutschland ubee alles

[waxen girder]

DU GAMLA DU FRIA, DU FJÄLLHÖGA NOOOORD

[woeful bough]

When you win a race and force everyone to hear the Swedish anthem

[waxen girder]

If Ericsson can't then I will try my best!

[woeful bough]

Can I just say the Ericsson emotes are the best

[waxen girder]

[woeful bough]

If you can't support me at my then you don't deserve me at my

[waxen girder]

[woeful bough]

[lone wagon]

Fratelli d'italia

[woeful bough]

Wish an ROI chap would win a race, their anthem is like a party tune

[waxen girder]

same

[lone wagon]

You so
Fucking
Precious
When you

[waxen girder]

If only I could win for an Irish team to get both anthems

[woeful bough]

[bleak flare]

i'm personally a bit on the fence about competizione

i want to see more from it/have more people talk about it before i make a commitment

[ivory frigate]

same

[bleak flare]

pc2 is great

sound is objectively the downside

and some of the cars have really questionable handling

but it's generally pretty good

[wheat basalt]

i just spend 170£ on a shifter for my wheel

[bleak flare]

ooh

[wheat basalt]

so i want a game other than ET2 to utilise it

[bleak flare]

what shifter/wheel?

[wheat basalt]

tmx thrustmaster and the th8a thrustmaster shifter

[bleak flare]

good shit

[ivory frigate]

you can use it for the classic cars 2

[wheat basalt]

yaeh

[bleak flare]

i've been driving stick for a couple of months now and i still can't heel & toe lmao

i'm so shit

[ivory frigate]

same

[wheat basalt]

i dont have 3 pedals

i have to spend another 100 on that

next month

[bleak flare]

well

pc2 works just fine with shifter but no clutch

[wheat basalt]

yeah i looked into it all

[bleak flare]

you can literally not even use the clutch

it's very forgiving

[lone wagon]

@bleak flare i can

Tonight

[wheat basalt]

i mean you cant really call someone out being poor because they dont have a game thats not really fair XD

[sinful goblet]

poor poor poor

I would have bought F1 2018 but there are things that I prefer to buy first

Which means when I decide to buy it it will already be a dead game

[wheat basalt]

if your not in the league

[sinful goblet]

Excuse me

I am the manager of McLaren

[wheat basalt]

[earnest tulip]

the way it's done has changed over the f1 games, maybe try searching if there's any guide on YouTube if not then people probably haven't found a way of doing it yet

[bleak flare]

Aarav (don't murder me) has a custom helmet in his career mode, so there is definitely a way

[woeful bough]

My DrIvEr

[earnest tulip]

then we just have to wait for a guide

[waxen girder]

should be possible to replace the file in the f1 2018 directory

[woeful bough]

Don't you need to take out the template and do some things to it usually?

[limpid socket]

i have photoshop yer done the edits etc. just not sure how to input it to game and yer aarav has one in his

[bleak flare]

i wouldn't be at all surprised if it was the same process as F1 2017, without actually knowing what that process was

[limpid socket]

im guessing u have to replace the file for the templates or something like that with the edit you done, will have to try and play around with it

[bleak flare]

probably

[lone wagon]

This is good for me

They changed short qualifying online from 12 to 18 minutes

[wooden kestrel]

Thats a welcome improvement

[waxen girder]

good

[grizzled furnace]

oioi can i join?

Right i've done the google form thing.

[lone wagon]

I think it's all full

You will be reserve driver

[broken nest]

so Australia will be on 2 Sept according to the preliminary schedule

just a week before I would be able to get the game myself 😩

[waxen girder]

rip

[broken nest]

we will still start on 2 Sept right?

i certainly wouldn't want to interrupt your schedule because of me not having the game

[waxen girder]

2nd of september

you can join as reserve driver and if someone drops out you'll be in line

[broken nest]

pretty sure I am 1st driver at Renault still, no?

[waxen girder]

oh right

[broken nest]

I guess it will be ok if i miss australia

[waxen girder]

well then your reserve will race the first race

[broken nest]

kinda like Wehrlein in 2017, missing the first 2

[waxen girder]

or flonso in 2015

[proper sphinx]

@grizzled furnace become reserve for mclaren because i've got uni stuff so i'll inevitably miss some races

[bleak flare]

Isn't it only 1 or 2 teams that actually has a reserve?

[waxen girder]

checking

[grizzled furnace]

dunno. i applierd for in order of pref: haas,RB,i forgot the last

what time would races be?

[waxen girder]

practice 6:15- 6:45
quali: 7pm
race immediately after

this is bst

[grizzled furnace]

immediately after the actual race im assuming?

[waxen girder]

after quali

[grizzled furnace]

oh right

i can almost definitely make it, what length are races?

[fossil estuary]

50%

[grizzled furnace]

fine then

[broken nest]

that would be 8:15-8:45 PM for practice and 9 PM for quali in my timezone

[fossil estuary]

thats like 45 min races i believe?

[broken nest]

i probably will be able to make it

[grizzled furnace]

fwiw i dont understand this: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/470964143793373184/471290037502345237/unknown.png

@fossil estuary yeah they are 45mins ish

[fossil estuary]

👍

[broken nest]

gonna practice with assists set to those on 2017

[grizzled furnace]

right so basically assist settings are the only ones a sane person would use

[broken nest]

real talk, using brake assists

[grizzled furnace]

i had it enabled by accident for my first carrer race in '18

feels so bad

[broken nest]

only way to practice starts (in 2017) is doing quick races, right?

[grizzled furnace]

ye

2 lap race

[broken nest]

welp

are we going to do formation laps?

probably not considering

how, uh, well they went in the rF league

[grizzled furnace]

not much point

[broken nest]

^

that too

other than realism

[grizzled furnace]

how they went in the rF league

you mean people like me thinking the race hadf started and diving at T1?

[broken nest]

yeah

incidents being frequent in them in general

[grizzled furnace]

im off to go continue my '18 career mode.

in other news, i got a new wheel

[fossil estuary]

nice

which oone

[grizzled furnace]

upgraded from my logitech driving force GT to a logitech G29

[fossil estuary]

ah very nice

[grizzled furnace]

with a shifter too for that euro truck sim 2 stalling fun

[waxen girder]

nice

[grizzled furnace]

only cost me £27

[broken nest]

G29

big nice

[grizzled furnace]

or technically, £3.

[waxen girder]

i miss my g27 :8

[broken nest]

and did you get the actual wheel for just 27??

how

[grizzled furnace]

traded old phone and xbox to CeX and old wheel and then had to pay £3 to make the difference

[fossil estuary]

i got a g27, my first wheel was gt force too

[grizzled furnace]

my gt force was great, just wanted a g29 cuz shifter and clutch. my gt force was only £50 + £2.50 shipping from cex

ALSO, the previous person to own this g29 i swear never used it

[lone wagon]

F1 2018 music is weird but good

[grizzled furnace]

it still smells of leather and had all original packaging and it didn't have logitech warranty activted

@lone wagon i exported it all

[broken nest]

wow

[grizzled furnace]

using a bnk extractor

[broken nest]

you were very lucky indeed Dev

[grizzled furnace]

mmmhmmm

[broken nest]

i wish i could get such a good wheel at such a low cost myself

then again, my T150 is still working cool and nice so uh

[grizzled furnace]

CeX is fucking great. A g29 is £150 and £2.50 shipping if you don't want to go to a physical store or if your local store doesn't have one

Day before I went to get it ordered online one came in stock at my local store 🤷

[bleak flare]

@broken nest how long have you had your t150 for?

[broken nest]

2 years now

[grizzled furnace]

Wew

[bleak flare]

Wtf

[broken nest]

yeah it's lasted fairly nicely

[bleak flare]

i've only had mine for a year and the buttons are already fucked

[broken nest]

the wheel and buttons work fine, but there are issues sometimes when i plug it in

[bleak flare]

oh i had that too but that's negligible

[broken nest]

the fan doesn't turn on (i can tell since i can't hear anything from the wheel), and the wheel just shuts off once it's done turning and whirring

[grizzled furnace]

The g29 doesn't have a fab

Fab

[bleak flare]

oof

[broken nest]

plugging it in now it works fine

[bleak flare]

my issue was a bit more serious

basically buttons felt like they had a loose connection, especially when i turned it

and it was all the buttons on the rim

including shift levers

[broken nest]

oooof

"on the rim" uh?

[bleak flare]

like

[broken nest]

certainly not on the wheel I suppose, the buttons on the wheel face

[bleak flare]

you know the 3 buttons on the actual base of the wheel?

the part that doesn't turn

those buttons were just fine

but all the buttons on the wheel part of the wheel

they were dumb shits

[lone wagon]

@grizzled furnace o

Have you posted it somewhere

[broken nest]

rip, to PopFizzelz

if anything, i wouldn't mind having more buttons so i would be able to bind pretty much every action in the game to them

and not just gear switches, replay, camera changing, etc

[bleak flare]

this is why i had to borrow my classmate's G27 lmao

[grizzled furnace]

@lone wagon posted wot

If you mean the exported music, no because copyright

[limpid socket]

i got fanatec wheel and the support for the game this year is awesome

[grizzled furnace]

Was fanatec support not good last year ?

[cinder musk]

wooo. just got home. first thing i do is enter my f1 2018 codes. downloading now. so hyped

[fossil estuary]

wowowowo

[lone wagon]

Hype is real

[vestal kelp]

Well everyone is shcoking on f1 2018

raced 6 races won 4

[earnest tulip]

is anyone else getting a choppy menu and when loading the game for f12018?

if you know the fix then let me know because f12017 was okay for me

[cinder musk]

idk because my game is taking forever to effing download

[earnest tulip]

just tried to race and it's the same, alot of stuttering.

[waxen girder]

whats your PC setup?

have you tried lowering graphics

[earnest tulip]

yes, my computer ran f1 2017 fine, i looked at the system requirements and the games were identical other than the extra game size

but i have plenty of space so it should bother it

[waxen girder]

Hm

Are you on a laptop perhaps?

[earnest tulip]

nope pc

[waxen girder]

Even weirder then

Have you verified the game cache?

Restart?

Changed resolution down to see if its graphical or processing lag?

Alt+tab out then back in?

[earnest tulip]

i've tried quite a few things but not redownloading the game or verifying the game cache

[limpid socket]

×
Whay difficulty are people on in career??

[wooden kestrel]

95 on pad

pretty challenging but not too hard

[limpid socket]

Ok cool

[fossil estuary]

I tried 100 on my first race to see how that was

[cinder musk]

85 ATM..

[limpid socket]

I'm 95 so as long as roughly same as you guys I won my first race at Aus so happy

[cinder musk]

I came 4th at my first race

Because I wanted to fight the field. So had pole and just sat and let everyone pass

[limpid socket]

Who with I've joined red bull in place of Danni ric

[cinder musk]

Well I'm on about quick races xd

Cos I haven't decided who I want to drive for

I'm a red bull fanboy, but idk if I want to move my way up to that by starting at Alfa

[limpid socket]

I'm starting red bull want Merc seat

[grizzled furnace]

im playing haas in my career mode with 70 difficulty right now, too easy. weird since i struggled with red bull in '17 with diff 65. will have ot amp up the difficulty a biut more

maybe to 80 or 90

[oak ferry]

im on 103

[limpid socket]

I may need to go from 95 to 100 but will see second race at moment

Haven't tried manual gear yet which is a rule In this correct?

[cinder musk]

I'm not sure

[limpid socket]

I'm suprised if it was being forced as last f1 champ I was in on ps4 it caused people to crash cause they couldn't do it. But all good with me if it is who knows If it is?

[grizzled furnace]

Couldn't do it? Christ wtf

You just press a but then it goes up

*button

Then again if it's on PS4 they might be using a gamepad if they're a mentalist

[oak ferry]

manual is faster

[cinder musk]

no tc and no anti lock brakes is faster too

[oak ferry]

you can use R1 and L1 for gears and it works very well

I use very unorthodox controls though

[waxen girder]

For controller i prefer A for up and X for down

[oak ferry]

I use the right analog stick as throttle

[grizzled furnace]

Wtf

Semic you're a nutjob

Semiconductor

Lmfao autocorrect changes "Semic" to Semiconductor

[oak ferry]

it gives me more control over the throttle

better than triggers

I learn't to use it after a trigger on my old controller broke

[lone wagon]

110 on wheel

No assists but racing line

@limpid socket yeah manual gearbox is a rule

[cinder musk]

well my bet is on Brigate winning the championship

xd

[limpid socket]

I feel this is gonna be too hard with manual trying to manage fuel and ers and do gears, don't you think it should be done on a vote between the TP

[cinder musk]

uh...

no?

[limpid socket]

Thinking of people on pads etc

[cinder musk]

oh

its kinda simple for my on wheel

[lone wagon]

If I can get my internet to work

Yeah but it's a rule so everyone is equal on that

[limpid socket]

It's fine for wheels but pads impossible I would have thought

[woeful bough]

It won't be impossible

It will be tougher sure but it's not going to be impossible

People can play rFactor 2 with a pad and get along just fine

[lone wagon]

Yeah

[limpid socket]

But you have to manage fuel and ers on here bit different

[oak ferry]

it's not that bad

[lone wagon]

Fuel has always been there and ers you can go auto

[woeful bough]

Managing fuel is rather easy on a pad tbf

[limpid socket]

Ok cool

[lone wagon]

Fuel is easy everywhere

It drains really slow

[oak ferry]

honestly it's a bit annoying doing ERS because you have to lift off the steering every time you want to change it

but you learn to deal with it

[cinder musk]

yeah i feel like the fuel drainage thingy has changed this year

does drain slower.

for the ers, i can keep my hands on my wheel. just move my thumb over and do it..

[limpid socket]

What a people fastest on Aus??

[lone wagon]

1:18

Brendon Leigh, esports champion

[waxen girder]

I'm not changing manual gears rule. The reason being is the same reason for the braking assist - you would be too slow and unpredictable in the races that drivers from behind may hit you

[cinder musk]

whereas the real life track record is only a 1:21

[woeful bough]

What's the braking assist rule?

[limpid socket]

Whats people times on here wanna no how close i am?

[cinder musk]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/470964143793373184/471290037502345237/unknown.png

i dont understand the colours

i feel like i should

[woeful bough]

I guess it's just in the additional information

[cinder musk]

but just the discussion about the gearbox has made me question it

[waxen girder]

Green - allowed
Yellow - partially allowed
Red - banned

[woeful bough]

Braking assist disallowed is an interesting move

Much more risk of lock ups

[cinder musk]

so partially allowed gives the thing for suggested gears?

[limpid socket]

I'm happy with the rules

[woeful bough]

I think low Braking Assist should be allowed IMO

[waxen girder]

Nope abs is still activated @woeful bough

[cinder musk]

i dont

[woeful bough]

Aah right

[waxen girder]

Braking assist is braking for you

[woeful bough]

Then what does Braking Assist mean?

Oh right

[cinder musk]

as in

[woeful bough]

Yeah those assists should be disabled

[cinder musk]

the game brakes for you

[woeful bough]

Yeah

[waxen girder]

Its really easy to learn manual gears as well

Plus different controls than you mhd

[limpid socket]

Does anyone know why I might not be getting the little cut scene at start of race it just jumps straight to grid line-up??

[lone wagon]

Can we do like rules on blue flags

Because I fear some of the fastest drivers will be rammed out by slowest people who ignore/don't see blue flags

[waxen girder]

Should be in the game

But yeah if it isn't I'll add it

[wheat basalt]

do the lapped cars not ghost?

[lone wagon]

Yeah they don't

[earnest tulip]

i like that they don't ghost, because if everyone's fair about this then it makes it more real and interesting

[woeful bough]

Ghosting always annoyed me

I hope there's less ghosting in crashes

[wooden kestrel]

Ghosting itself doesn't annoy me

the inconsistency

is what makes it unbearable

and yeah blue flags have been there long time

should be alright

[waxen girder]

Reconsidering the rule about manual gears

[lone wagon]

Wat

[earnest tulip]

as in auto gears might be allowed?

[wheat basalt]

wont you be slower with auto gears

on the straightrs**

[cinder musk]

as in. you got a week to practice manual gears

:)

[woeful bough]

You will be slower with auto gears in general

You want to take corners in certain gears, which auto gears can mess with

[slow tree]

until i started league racing last year i only used auto gears ( and did for a while in my first league )

really slows u up

and causes spins too with the shifts mid corner n such

switched over and now if i drive something auto in a game it feels unnatural

[woeful bough]

^

[proper sphinx]

that might be in reconsideration because my audiodrivers on pc are fucked beyond all repair and i won't be able to drive manual like that

[wheat basalt]

how are they fucked dude i might be able to help @proper sphinx

[proper sphinx]

no you won't be

[wheat basalt]

if you say whats up i might be able to unless you dont wanna thats cool

[proper sphinx]

nah i'm quite handy with a computer myself it's just not fixable

[wheat basalt]

(not trying to undermine you in anyway) i am qualified to be a technician so like i say if there is anything i can do sling away if not no problemo

[cinder musk]

so like. your eyes are also broken? there is an rpm bar thingy?

not being serious

[wheat basalt]

play cockpit view and watch the wheel rev counter XD

f that

[cinder musk]

nah t cam with the coloured circles in the bottom right

[wheat basalt]

you would litterally miss every corner watching it if we see him go steaming into a wall we will know why haha

[cinder musk]

xd

[wheat basalt]

oh shit i forgot about suggested gears

[lone wagon]

I use em

[wheat basalt]

i use fpp

cause im a sad act

[hardy delta]

@proper sphinx does the audio beep not help at all?

[proper sphinx]

no my audio drivers literally broke and even 3 reinstalls didn't save it

can't even listen to spotify

or tiametmarduk screeching

[broken nest]

how did your audio drivers even break?

[wheat basalt]

what do you use for headset, usb or audio jack

[proper sphinx]

@broken nest if i knew we wouldn't be having this convo

my pc is like 6/7 years old anyway it was bound to break down sooner rather than later

[broken nest]

welp

fair enough I suppose, still sucks though

my previous pc, which was a desktop, lasted about just as long, and I have been on my current laptop for 3 years now

[wooden kestrel]

my last pc is still rocking as a proxy caching server

core 2 quad q9550 8gb ddr2 and gtx 580

keeping the room warm

[limpid socket]

@waxen girder whats made you think about gears? i would reccomend looking at it, like i said do a vote, i dont mind either but with all of it with fuel and ERS and doing gears i do worry about accidents happening as people arent fully concentrating

[crimson tangle]

Thank you, Joner08 (PS4, Xbox & PC) UK for mentioning vind. He'll be right with you.

vind#0742 asks: Allow auto-gears?

[neat bronze]

I thought dairy was daire

[orchid ibex]

nyet

[wheat basalt]

if there is auto gears allowed think of the t1 carnage every race

[limpid socket]

auto or manual gears there can be t1 carnage gears wont change that, there will be more incidents on people who are less confident with auto gears etc. and people trying to manage everything else, im fine with it, im thinking of other drivers to make it fairer for all and have a whole wide thing

[wheat basalt]

if you use auto gears you cant get as good a start as someone with manual so they will make silly dives and down the straights they just cant get the power because the game short shifts compared to manual so they wont have the race pace

[limpid socket]

all depends on whos doing it, i short shift a lot on f1

stops spin

[wheat basalt]

i mean like when you get to 5+ before 5 i short shift

i think you have to really before 5

well at least 4

[limpid socket]

well maybe start with manaul first race see how people get on and then look at changing if no good

[wheat basalt]

if people can only use auto then fair enough but they need to be so careful not to get in peoples way im thinking more towards the middle of the pack where they will be, on certain tracks it might not be so bad but others it could be a nightmare trying to get past. All i would ask is if you use auto just dont hold someone with manual up to long obv defend but if they are just all around quicker dont ruin their race

i could be wrong like someone with auto could absolutely trash manual but in theory it shouldnt happen so just be alert hahah

[limpid socket]

yer agree but that can happen with all auto, at end of day people just need to drive safe and fair and be aggressive at same point

[proper sphinx]

i've been using auto today on f1 2018 and i'm only 0.4 secs slower per lap

that's not too bad tbh

[limpid socket]

not bad no

[bleak flare]

4 tenths could easily be a position lost

i think the sharp end of this league is gonna be really fucking close

[proper sphinx]

4 tenths is not too bad for me at least because that time was about 1.2 secs slower than brandon leigh at hockenheim

so i can at least drive decent pace

[bleak flare]

maybe, but it probably won't help you out in quali

[proper sphinx]

that lap would probably still be faster than a couple people at least

like if you choose to go with auto u know you have a disadvantage so you have no reason to complain for bad finishes

[wheat basalt]

as long as you have fun and dont take me out idc hahha

[proper sphinx]

and if u guys are so much quicker with manual gears u just blast past me on the straight

but if we disallow auto gears i will literally not be able to play

[hardy delta]

are we allowing safety car?

[waxen girder]

Yes

[unborn blaze]

When is the first race

[waxen girder]

[cinder musk]

@half ocean why did you leave too?

[half ocean]

didnt see much point to it either way it wasnt gonna get used

[cinder musk]

fairs

[half ocean]

context we are talking about a group dm

for haas

[waxen girder]

Ah

[cinder musk]

well

we lost a haas driver

[half ocean]

rest in kill

[hardy delta]

we could always ping the reserves

[half ocean]

at everyone

[cinder musk]

lmao

[grizzled furnace]

give me the drive

[cinder musk]

yes give him the drive

[grizzled furnace]

GUNTHER plz

[cinder musk]

@waxen girder devfreak = new haas driver. fuse / sean left.
