Have been doing a bit lately.

Mainly Project CARS as the AI is very ordinary and drives too dirty to have a clean challenging race.

Would like to get into RaceRoom Race Experience but haven't bought any content for it yet, AI seems good enough for a challenge as well.

Reminds me a lot of GTR and GTR2, I guess that's to be expected seeing as Simbin have had a hand in it's development.

Have rFactor 2, not finding it as exciting to get into as the original was though so haven't really been able to get into it. Maybe I just need to find some good cars to run in game

Waiting for Assetto Corsa to come on sale on steam and I'll grab it as well.

Keen to get back into iRacing again as they have recently updated tyre models so apparently it's a little easier to recover from moments. I'm yet to get as much feedback from the track through the wheel from another game yet.

Safety rating system went a fair way to stopping people from acting out when they have a spin or from driving Gran Turismo style, although private servers do that as well I guess once you find a good bunch to race with.

use iRacing with SAU and thats about it.

Project Cars would be good to into online, but im having fun with the career (even if the AI is disruptful. you just have to get in front of them!)

Assetto Corsa is on-sale now, but i wont be jumping on it. car list is pretty average, though UI and track/car quality is good.

Wreckfest is Destruction Derby reborn. havent had a server with decent ping yet, but its awesome fun. and has single player.

Just bought Assetto and the DLC pack for under $50AUD on the steam sale.

Had played it before in the release state (prior to the big patches) and wasn't overly impressed but I turned a few laps at Mugello today in some GT cars and wow!

I like the feeling you get through the wheel a lot more than Project Cars! It's obviously not as pretty in some regards as pCARS. I think both have their strengths and weaknesses.

iRacing IMHO is one of the most over-rated simulations

Yeah we know, you keep telling everyone.

There's an SAU iRacing championship. You can always get a short-term trial and jump in. If you don't like it, try something else.

Assetto Corsa has mods you can add to the game for extra tracks and vehicles.

The community has made some import cars such as s13 silvia, 180sx type x, r32 skyline, honda nsx, nissan s15, mazda fc3s rx7, and a nissan 240sx.

There is also a few australian tracks now such as eastern creek, surfers paradise street circuit, adelaide street circuit & barbagallo raceway.

In answer to your question Anon AC, rF1, GSC, all with many Aussie and NZ tracks and Aussie V8's too. PC once I get some glitches out of my custom pedals, Previously have owned and played (still Do some of them) Pole Position, F1 '98, GTR2, GTR Evo, DiRT 1,2,3. Monster Truck Madness 1 & 2 and many other offerings from GT & Endurance cars, to Rally and Hill Climbs, some good, some bad and some that should never have been sold as a "Simulation" .

I don't see GPL in that lot, Mozz.

Say it ain't so...

RFactor (the original one) has an R34 GTR patch.

Also lots of Aussie tracks including Lakeside, Amaroo, Bathurst (the 3 I've driven IRL) plus Eastern Ck, Surfers (old one and the street track), morgan pk, warwick farm, wakefield, Symmons plains, Darwin, Camberra, Melb GP, Townsville, Winton, Longford, Calder, Oran Pk, Phillip Island, Sandown, QR as well as a host of NZ tracks. Best thing is they're all free - no stupid monthly fees just to keep playing.

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
