VirtualR – Sim Racing News
100% Sim Racing News

There are lots of promos, just have to wait for them. I haven’t spent more than $75 for a year subscription since I started. That isn’t even counting up to $45/year in free credits for participation and being a member for a full year.

If I don’t post it people will complain that I don’t give iRacing enough exposure and if I do it’s wrong as well… seems like I just can’t win here.

What false info is being published? The whole point of this promo is for people to get the free code, not sure what the problem is…

Cadillac is footing the bill, just like Skip Barber Racing School did a year ago (except GM has a LOT more money )

We sim racers ask a lot of the time why sim developers pay for licenses instead of car manufacturers paying for their cars to be made. Well, this is what it looks like when the manufacturer pays

Don’t use your real name if you start a new account.  You can pay with a unconfirmed pay pal account.  Lots of new people aren’t using real names.  That’s old school. 

I really don’t understand why people is so angry with iR. If you don’t like it, just MOVE ON.

People can just try iR for free 6 month, then they can decide to spend money and continue with iR or just leave!

Someone shuld be only a dumb hater to not try it FOR FREE lol

I’ve been a member of iracing from 08, at the start after we subscribed we had very little content and most of that little content was Oval cars and tracks.
Months and months later we started getting new content which required months and months of work. iRacing’ way of doing things would never survive in your derelict idea of an ideal business model, 60$ for a product now and to expect all future content free is silly.
 They would go bankrupt instantly or just not product any new content and leave it as is… sounds familiar?

Over the years while racing a track would be released, 12$ sweet now i can race Spa!
Months later a new car, if i’m interested in racing the car i would buy it 14$ now i can race that car at Spa.

I understand the perspective of new people who see iRacing’ business model as some whore DLC tactic akin to EA. In some ways it is but 4 years now it’s been released, 6 or so years of development. All the while they’ve been working hard around the clock to release content keeping people like me in the sim who wants every bloody track in the world in the sim and all my favorite race cars (Still waiting for that DTM iRacing!).

What iracing are doing would never be possible or worth it with any other business model so i’ve accepted that when i started racing in 08, i’ve walked away from the never updated Race 07/ Evo, The Mod heaven of rfactor and have found a home for my Hobby Sim Racing.

Looking at all other stuff with the exception of Assetto Corsa they lack laser scanned tracks, they lack any form of trust, trust that when i take the Ss at watkins what i see is what real drivers see, the bumps i feel, real drivers have to deal with. With this core level of commitment and work towards realism in the tracks alone iRacing has earned every penny of my money.
 Updates every season to ensure the sim can evolve and improve with our expectations assures it’s survival.

Long fanboi story short, if you’re a Sim Racer and like what iracing has to offer, look at what they have, what they truly offer and give it a Personal value to yourself… If all that stuff, the Racing, the Bridge to DWC that ensures ultra competition is something you would want to be a part of then others opinion on the business model they use to survive alone is irrelevant.
 As others have said in this post, if you don’t want it don’t buy it.
If you don’t like it, stop using it.
If you hate it, ignore it.
If you love it? Then get it.
 
I already have it.

Terrible view port? It´s the best triple screen layout you will find in a game today. That´s a fact.

The reason the FFB shakes in the Mazda is because of ABS. 
If you have that happening to you in other cars except fort he Mustang then it´s your wheel settings that is the problem, not the game. I run T500 have no problems with the wheel.

You should look up Motion Cockpit View on the forums, it’s a utility that adds head movement according to the car’s movement. That might be what you feel is missing. Did you follow the instructions in the hardware forum for triple screens? If the outr monitors are pointing directly toward you the setting ‘render separately’ needs to be checked.

There is an FFB Smoothing setting in app.ini, set it to something between 0.5 and 1. The wheel doesn’t have any inertia otherwise, this can help reduce the shock of the ABS kicking on and larger bumps.
