The wait is over. Need help from the iracing gods on the beeb..

Sent you a PM.

 

I’ve got a line right now on a Lumos setup with Ryzen 1700, 8gb Ram, not sure in the GPU yet. $500 seems like a good deal. I’ve been running Project Cars 2 on the Xbox one and it’s fun, but I think this will be a lot more up my alley.

 

My iRacing ID is Erik Luke2. Kenny is Kenny Duval.

Kenny is really good with the Motec. While he is the better teacher, I will be more than happy to help as we are about equal on pace. You can also shoot me a text when you jump on next and I can host a private session and we can turn some laps.

Edit: Kenny beat me to the punch

 

Project Cars 2 is better looking, but iRacing has the edge over physics and tire modeling.

 

My big thing with iRacing is the extra realism and all the leagues and competition side of things. It seems so much more organized and fun that way.

 

Yep...that's the best part of the service.

 

Can someone teach me how to drive? Cause god I am terrible

 

I gotta stop reading this thread. The want for a driving sim rig has never been greater than it is right meow. I just don't have the internet for it

 

Here's novel idea. Enter sim & drive.

 

I ran a race on Tuesday in the midgets that was the first race in a series with POWRi. They are a real sanctioning body for midget racing. Man I had a blast. Got stuffed in my heat, so I had to run the D main. Won that and started at the back of the C main. Worked my way to 6 the and made the B main. But I got caught up in some crashes and only worked my way to 13th and didn’t transfer to the feature. It was a blast. Can’t wait for Tuesday and the next race.

if you wanna watch our midget races they are being show (with announcers) at POWRi TV on Facebook.

 

Fox sports 1 had super late models (dirt) and 410 sprint cars on last night. Live. Was fun watch. One hour show dedicated to it. I’m very happy to see more and more dirt late model stuff on tv. It has really taken over all the nascar stuff.

 

iRacing ?

 

Yea

 

I've been researching my setup for getting into this, with some help from Kenny. One question I hadn't seen here, with all the wheel/pedal sets saying they are compatible with either PS4 or XBox, has there been any discussion about that compatibility moving forward to the PS5 or new XBox? I'm mainly buying it for iRacing, but I do play my PS4 and will likely end up with a PS5 at some point.

 

If they are PS4 compatible they will likely be PC5 compatible. Xbox almost certainly because with every revision of that it becomes more and more just like a PC.

 

You're not going to switch your rig around to play on xbox. Unless the monitor and everything is shared anyway. Anything decent on xbox you can play on your computer anyway.

 

I ran both iRacing & GT5 with my rig. Don't have to switch anything but control & monitor cables.
My PS was right next to my computer so it was no big deal.
Only problem come when using higher end peripherals. I had planned on downloading Forza , but there was too much involved with getting my HPP's to work.
Might be easier now though.

 

I do think it's unlikely that I'll care enough to hook up my Playstation to it if I'm already using iRacing, but it would be irritating to eliminate the possibility when I haven't bought anything yet.

I've been looking at some used stuff too, but in my area there isn't much of a market. I found a wheel/pedal setup that is PC/Xbox that would work if I don't care about the PS side of it.

Finding the balance of not buying low end crap at first but not wanting to spend $5k on an initial setup is a trickier balance than I anticipated.

 

Yeah well the SOBs on here don't help. After talking to them I'm always somehow spending more $$ [emoji15]
