Not really because there are far better simulations around than iRacing,

There thousands of people that build stand alone Mods and or Tracks and help convert various Tracks and Vehicles from one Sim to another.
Remember these Mods and Tracks are freely available to the Sim Racing community FREE and they are made with love and passion for accuracy that cannot be matched by mobs like iRacing and SimRaceway where you pay for the content.

Laser scanning is only part of the story, there are many different factor's that give you the feel of various race tracks , BUT I concur Laser scanning does not make the track any more accurate, I have driven on some IRL and then in the sim both laser and non laser, and to be honest I could not detect any difference.

Sau league - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452253-2015-sau-vic-iracing-championship/

Unfortunately there isn't a v8 package. You will have to buy things individually. There are two falcon v8s because one is pre-cotf and the other cotf. Both the falcon and commodore cotf are identical. I haven't seen the prices of the falcons but I imagine the pre-cotf is cheaper seeing as it has been retired.

Have heard that they recently redid the tyre physics model in iRacing, has anyone noticed the slides more controllable and easier to catch in recent updates?

I am thinking about getting back into it and renewing my subscription once I get a new wheel and setup (my g25 died a few weeks ago).

Out of curiosity what hardware are you guys running (wheel, pedals, shifter, button boxes etc)?

They redid the tyre physics not too long ago yeah. It's still not amazing, you can slide the cars a little.. But no drifting. Really depends on the car as well.

I've got a fanatec cswv2, cspv1, th8rs shifter, dsd button box :)

I raced quite a bit, but got sidetracked by Assetto Corsa which has a few drift cars and tracks. I'm relatively decent in the Star Mazda - usually like 2 seconds off the aliens, however that's good enough to win the occasional race when better drivers aren't around XD

I'm slow as shit in the V8s though. Just can't get my head around those vehicles. Understeering shitbuckets.

The Aussie V8's in Assetto and GSC as well as rFactor WILL go exactly where you point them and it is ALL in the Wheel and the actual setup as it applies to the actual car or Mod.

as long as you're on the gas and the rear wheels are slipping

otherwise it's understeer city

there's a huge learning curve with them

    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
