  1. I only have DT770s. They're pgood fam.
  2. The new tyre model for iRacing does look pretty good. Cold tyres no longer have more grip than warm and the grip levels seem more realistic. However, they still don't have flatspots. The tyre model developer really needs to find a way to impliment that. At the price iRacing is, not having a tyre model that supports flatspots is a joke. Live For Speed (free demo, £36) had flatspots since at least 2008. But still, it's a massive improvement.
  3. I'm not going to put this in a spoiler because there's no real point. The Belgian GP was ruined for me by Reddit as well as the F1 YouTube page (don't subscribe to them if you care about spoilers). What I will say, is that the race wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. Still a good race though, much better than France.
  4. I thought the developers went bankrupt? Nice that they haven't, they do a really good job at making realistic looking game engines. I hope this means there's going to be a new Crysis game soon that will use 5.6.
  5. F1 Qualifying: Some awful news in F2. There was a really bad crash at the exit of Raidillon that resulted in the death of Anthoine Hubert. The other two drivers involved are in a stable condition. Here's the statment from the FIA Hubert was definitely a promising driver, 2 wins with 16 starts. That sounds pretty bad, but it's a 12.5% win rate. For reference, Michael Schumacher has a win rate of about 29.7%.

    Free Games

    Dirt Rally is an Oculus Rift exclusive ? I can't get it to work at all with my Index, nothing gets it to work. These types of exclusives are very dumb and I'm glad it didn't work out for them. Otherwise, it's a very good game. Both with a wheel and controller.
  7. This has been in my wishlist since it was released in 2016, I finally got around to buying it The phone camera makes them not look very colourful at all.
  8. Oh, no German GP at all. That's surprising. Also as far as liveries on Porsches go, I think this is the best but it is third-party, not official Porsche
  9. I don't actually own the controllers yet, but I have been told they're significantly better than the Vive ones. I'm definitely going to get them at some point.
  10. I have a couple of mechanical keyboards. Both are Duckys, one is a DK9008 with MX Reds and a One2 Midnight with MX Blues.
  11. Isn't the VLN official content now? Also I can't seem to get ATS to work in VR but ETS2 does work. It's a bit terrible because of the frame rate and the implementation of it is very basic so doesn't work well at all in the seat adjustment screen, but it does work. ATS just doesn't launch.
  12. It depends on the product really. With phones these days, they really aren't if you compare them to flagship Android phones. In some cases, the flagship Android phones actually cost more. You do also have to remember that Apple doesn't have any entry-level or mid-range phones. They tried mid-range phones with the 5C but that failed quite badly. The 5C (£470) "only" sold 12.8 million units. As a comparison, the 5S (£550) sold 31.9 million units in the same amount of time.
  13. This is potentially good news for me since I'm not in the US. I was using an iPhone 6 which is now broken. I'll most likely get whatever version comes in red. I'm so bored of white, black and silver phones. What I don't like is the cameras are protruding out of a part of the phone that's protruding. But then again these are just rendered based complete guesses from people who have seen the leaks that may or may not be correct.
  14. They are trying, but it's not working. ACC is missing so much content, on top of that it's currrently broken.
  15. The rules for this thread are pretty simple. Screenshots must follow the T&C of the forum. The name of the game must be included in the post as well. I'll start off with some Kerbal Space Program
  16. Yes, that doesn't include the subscription either. iRacing is by far the most expensive racing sim out there. All prices here are in USD excluding local VAT here, I can't be bothered to convert it and they only show USD on their website. When you do get a subscription ($13/month, $33/3 months, $110/year or $199/2 year, 40% discount for new memberships for all of them) you get 18 cars and 18 tracks included. Those cars and tracks are only really useful if you only want to do the Rookie races which I wouldn't recommend. The people who do Rookie races are generally really, really bad. I've seen people crash the slowest cars in the game on a straight with no one around them. Once you get your D license, you pretty much have to buy more content and this is where you give them your wallet. Each car is $11.95 and each track is $11.95 or $14.95 each, most of which are $14.95. You don't need to buy all content, you just buy what you want. Of course, the more you buy the bigger of a discount you get as a "bulk buy" bonus. Total price of everything including that discount but excluding local taxes would cost over $1500. iRacing do have a monopoly on this type of sim racing though. There's only online racing, no AI at all and there's no competition for this type of game, at least on PC. The closest sim to iRacing as far as gameplay goes is Gran Turismo Sport which is only on PS4.
  17. Same. My internet connections seems stable again so I won't get disconnected and penalized. I dumped over £350 into content for it that I'm not using at the moment.
