Hi mates are currently Copper 3/Copper 2 & I am currently Gold 3. But for some reason we cannot played ranked together... i thought there had to be a 3 ranks between the players for them to play? Is Copper 3 to Gold 3 not 3 ranks?
Edit: we're all over level 300
I currently have the Thrustmaster T598 with the raceline pedals that are included in the bundle.
Just wanting to get some opinions on the load cell pedal & 3DRap brake mod. I'd love to get the LC Upgrade but it's never in stock... Should I wait for it to come back in stock or should I just go for the brake mods in the meantime or even permanently?
Is there much of a difference between the two in terms of performance? Just feel like I am not consistent in my braking & would love for that to change.

Does anyone else feel like their IT support role feels overly micromanaging?
Recently got a new job as a Service Desk Analyst at a construction company, it pays well & after being laid off from my previous place (due financial issues with the company), I needed a job.
I have been in 2nd line support roles for over 3 years & I was told that this role was more 1st/2nd. Which I am fine with, long as I have a job & the pay is decent.
However, it feels like this place has so much red tape it's starting to get annoying. I understand having processes in place & making sure things get the right approval, but i feel like it's too much.
For example, there was a recent issue with Adobe Acrobat, not showing the edit function, a fix is to revert it back to the 'classic' version, which i did on 3 or 4 users. I got told off for this, as it first needs to go to Infrastructure Operations so they can have a look & decide what to do... These processes take at least 2/3 days maybe more unless it's a P1 or MI. So I got told off for that, 10 minutes later a "VIP" calls in with the same issue & then this fix has now been granted & allowed. What's the point in having that in place when all it takes is one executive assistant to flap & cry to get it fixed ASAP?
And it's also giving call centre vibes, can't be on the phone for more than 15 minutes, if you're in 'busy' or whatever status that isn't available it's met with 'why are you not available', have to constantly inform the team on your whereabouts, if you go to the loo, or in a call for a few minutes etc etc.
Manager calls your 4 times a day to check up on you if you're sick or in an emergency, even though you have texted them.
Even got told off for a wearing a sports top when WFH & on a Teams call with my camera on (bare in mind the only time I have to have my camera on, is when I'm speaking with my manager, no other time, at all).
Apologies for that rant, but now the only thing that's keeping me in this role is their paternity leave, it's around 9 months full paid paternity leave & since my wife is pregnant with our first child, I'll have to grit my teeth for a few more months.
Edit: Forgot to mention I got told off for saying "mate" when talking to senior engineers in a Teams chat, like, 'Hi mate, just wondering if you have X details or Y details' & the manager also told off another new guy for chewing gum. What else? Not allowed to update software without permission, even if it's outdated & the user can't use it. With password resets, the line manager has to log the ticket, with the user alongside them, they both need to say their PayrollID & show identification & then you don't even reset their password, you send an SSPR link to their personal email address, which they then go to reset it. We don't do walk ups, we direct them to another team but we are required to be in the office 3 days a week. Even muting & putting users on hold is overprocessed, you have to mute yourself twice, on two different phone UIs & then put yourself on hold on both as well!
Exhausting.
