  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. I have a couple of mechanical keyboards. Both are Duckys, one is a DK9008 with MX Reds and a One2 Midnight with MX Blues.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. They are trying, but it's not working. ACC is missing so much content, on top of that it's currrently broken.
  8. 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
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. That looks really good ? I really need to get a working phone so I can get pictures of my masterpieces that I make.
  12. Well, they are dipping their toes in the dedicated GPU market next year albeit in the low-end. I think if they're successful there, they'll move onto higher-end hardware.
  13. So would I actually. I hope it's successful enough that they end up making GPUs that will compete in the higher-end as well. It's kind of tiring and expensive to only really have nVidia at the top with AMD being a generation behind as far as performance goes in their high-end.
  14. The Forza Motorsport series is probably a good start. It doesn't have the most realistic physics, but they're good enough and it's playable with a controller. You can also try out a demo (built on Forza Motorsport 6) with Forza 6: Apex on PC.
  15. I've actually made a thread for this now https://extremehw.net/forum/gaming/general-ab/943-sim-racing-discussion-thread
  16. Rather than making 10+ threads for the individual racing sims, I've decided to create a thread for all of them, both PC and console. This thread is racing simulators including, but not limited to: Assetto Corsa series Automobilista series Dirt series Forza Motorsport series Gran Turismo series iRacing Live For Speed Project CARS series Race series Raceroom rFactor series Personally, I play Assetto Corsa, Forza Motorsport 6 and 7 and iRacing. I used to play Race: WTCC, Race 07, Live For Speed and the entire Gran Turismo series except Sport. I am thinking of picking up a PS4 for Gran Turismo Sport though.
  17. Big three? I know there's AMD and nVidia but as of right now I wouldn't really count Intel. They don't really make anything more powerful than GT 1030 and it's built into their CPUs.
  18. Yiss ? Just a note, if you are a premium member just PM me, Simmons or Axipher on here with your Discord name and number on the forum. This if you don't know what I'm talking about: and we can give you the premium member role.
  19. Just F1 and the "special" WEC races really. With most WEC/IMSA races, I prefer to take part in them digitally on iRacing. Since April my internet has been terrible, just dropping out at random points during the day with no warning and because of the way the iRacing system works, you get penalized for it when you do lose connection so I haven't really been racing in there since May. I've lost a lot of iRating because of my garbage internet connection. It does seem to be fix now though.
  20. What's the rules on spoilers? Put things in spoiler tags until at least 1 week after the race? I almost never watch races live, I always watch them a day or two later.
  21. Nice. I'd highly recommend that the first thing you do, is download and install the Transfagarasan Highway mod for Assetto Corsa, get the quickest car you can, select the "downhill" layout of the track and from the start line, just go perfectly straight off the cliff. When you've done that, physically stand up and "get out of the car". It's a lot of fun.
