Making improvements already!!

Back at the field today, I saw large improvements in myself over the day. We were in full tournament practice mode and it was amazing. I wemt from getting out in the break to moving up field and emptying a few pods! I did make a silly mistake and earned myslef a new Nickname: DriveBy! 😆 🤣

Also, I took a nice glancer to the sachel as I was walking off dont cry dont cry dont cry

(i guess I need to move quicker!)

I finished the day with a nice break in my pod and didn't realize it till after the round with a nice bowl of orange soup in my loader 😋

Multiclass multi green flags

Iracing is doing it! Why can't LmU?

Per ir:

"Multi-class, multi-pace car

Last quarter, I previewed a major overhaul to our Race Control engine to enable true, real-world Multi-Class Starts. After extensive testing (with a special thanks to everyone who jumped into our ‘iTested’ sessions), that feature is officially soft-launching for Season 4.

Say goodbye to chaotic, stacked-up multi-class grids. The system now deploys dedicated pace cars for each class, maintaining authentic safety margins between fields and throwing independent green flags for every category. This delivers a massive leap in realism and cleaner, fairer turn-one racing across the board.

We’re launching this feature on select tracks to start, headlined by full support in our official IMSA series. With this advancement now complete, the team now has the bandwidth to tackle the next wave of real-world racing procedures advancements and enhancements on our extensive roadmap."

I ask again, why aren't we doing this?! Its a necessity

Joker usage thoughts

So i have 3, I can't collect any more. Do I just pick my worst race and use one as to not... give up free jokers? Does it make a difference if it was 20 races ago? Just leave them sit and not even worry about it?

For context im B3/G3, 💎 I was P3 but the stewards didn't like how I kept swerving on a guy (who did it to me 1st) and knocked me to G3. I tried to use a joker on this one already 🙃

Bottleneck after update?

1.3 i was using 90% of gpu, now its at 50% and my framerates are garbage. Im talking into the 30s or even 20s. Its baaaaad. I was solid 70s-90s before. Im on 1080 trips using a 3060 12g and a i5 11400f. Upgrade the cpu? Best Lga1200 chip without costing me $700?? 🤷‍♀️

Classes need more spacing

As they do irl, we need actual space between the classes. The rear of one pack shouldn't be dealing with getting 'divebombed' on by the leaders of the next class behind. It happens every single (multiclass) race. Then what happens? We're all playing pinball and the ones who survived get to keep driving. Give us separate greens!

Pit... no action?

Went to pit and it wouldn't... pit? As in, no action. I was in my box. I even reversed and went back in, and then it told me I was in the slow lane too long and gave me a penalty 😒

Kid wanted to play then wouldn't engage

Any ideas how to help this along? He got the idea he wanted to play via his VR. He played in RecRoom and won the whole tournament. He then wanted to play irl! DONE! So, naturally, I take him to my old stomping grounds (which have changed quite a bit) to have some fun. He won't even point and shoot. At all. Im over here emptying hoppers and he's just... not. He now claims to have absolutely zero interest in continuing beyond today. Any suggestions as to?? Not let him give up and/ or get him to engage? Tia

Seeking my old micromag [wtb]

Was as shown, but teal and purple, not black. Lemme know. Thx!

Seeking my old micromag marker like this but purple teal

If anyone knows of or sees it, I'd love to have it back! I traded it off decades ago. It was like this, but purple not black! It was a custom done piece for me and I was young and stupid...

Anyway, tia!

Son informed me he wants to play, so I'm coming back after 25yrs!

Super sroked, but man has it changed. Electric markers were just coming out, hpa was a thing but it was still 75% co2. I had mags and cockers with viewloaders and a 20oz on my back. What do I seek for a good midrange setup for the pair of us? Also any other knowledge you wish to bestow. Tia!

Disney pixar Porsche

Porsche and Pixar unveiled three special 911s to coincide with the release of Toy Story 5.

Each car is meant to be based on a main character from the film. There's a Buzz Lightyear, a Jessie, and—of course—a Woody.

So, who's gonna make these 1st?
