If you no longer go for a gap... that wasn't really there, but that you made up in your head to justify your own stupidity... then you are not really a racing driver!

Found a post about Netcode.

Update for New Cup Cars:

Our plan currently is to release the Chevrolet SS-Gen6 car this coming Monday, Feb 25th. The standard A Series will start with that car that night during normal new race week start time. We expect the Ford Fusion-Gen6 car to be added to the service and to that series about two weeks after, in early March. Although will be two different cars, the physics and race speeds will be identical. From a point and standings perspective, the cars also will be identical if together in a series. For example, if you have both cars, you could rotate and would not matter from a points and standing perspective. It would be the same as just racing one or the other.

Additionally, on Feb 25th, whoever owns the current Class A Chevrolet Impala (COT car) will also get a $6 credit placed into their account. However, if you bought the current car COT car in the last 90 days from the 25th, we will give you full credit, $11.95.

You can use the credit towards buying either the new Ford or Chevy or anything else for that matter. Additionally, on the 25th, we are going to reprice the COT car to $5 going forward since at least for now, the car will not be run in a regular series but that could change someday. Obviously will still be available for testing, hosted racing and league racing. However, the COT car will remain as the car for balance of this season in the Carburetor Cup.

We should be posting a video with new car (Chevy only) this week!

Good Racing!

^

So let's see if you guys understand this like I do. If I buy the current COT before February 26th, I'll get an $11 credit toward the new car, basically getting two for one?

As most of you know I like to turn right, so you are probably wondering why I'd be interested in these cars, right? My thoughts are if DSO or anyone ever wants to host an event to run them on a road course, like Watkins or Infineon, or Montreal when it's released. What do you guys think, is this ever a possibility?

Lemmeknow!

It does read like a free car is possible. Free is the correct price for anything, especially a NASCAB.

If you own the COT already you get a half price credit
If you buy the COT now you'll get a full credit

I'm not sure we'll ever run the G6 on road courses. Never say never, just doubt we'll go there any time soon.

Free though... will buy, and put the refund towards the Lotus when it comes out. NASCAB is growing on me, the hilarity of online NASCAB is inescapable.

Yes, it looks like lag is extra fun at 195mph. The fun is the free SR by hanging out in back watching. Like a rookie Legend or street stock race, but with more surface area for hilarious livery.

Nah, left on on purpose for those shots. I've since gone a different direction though and the current edition of it (late night inspiration) has the whole body covered in Matrix style cascading lettering. All other logos are the same. Will post when I get home.

SpecMiata-JSW wrote:What is the NASCAR Netcode thing mean?

Because racing on the internet, there's a small delay between what you see on your screen and what the servers see (ping time). Since ping times are normally around 50-200ms that means that the delay could be anywhere from .005 to .020 seconds which is reasonably significant in racing. The "netcode" is how iRacing (and other games) abstract things a bit to try and make that delay more seamless. Basically, the game guesses where you'll be a bit ahead of where you actually are.

This is something that no one in the world of Road racing cares about; generally gaps between road cars are much bigger than 2 one thousandths of a second, and even when they are closer than that, it's usually for a brief period of time.

It's important in TurnLeft because you can spend 200 laps that close to another car. This sometimes results in 'phantom' contact and damage. My officiall standing on Netcode is - If you know that this is a problem, and yet you still try and bump draft, you're an idiot, stop being on the internet. The counterpoint is "BUT TURNLEFT! RUBBIN' IS RACIN!".

Cool, thanks for the explanation. I've heard of Netcode and such, but never understood it because people talk about it, but they don't explain what it is and why they hate it so much, specifically when racing in events like the "Pork the other white Meat - trim your mullet at Great Clips 500' at Daytona Speedway.

Just kidding to all those who love to drive in circles.

^ Okay, that was rude too. Sorry.

Maybe I'll catch some of you at Spa later tonight? Hopefully I can get on. Smile

I like driving in circles sometimes, it's a different kind of challenge. I lol'd anyway. Cool

I will be Practicing at Spa to see if I can drive down my lap times. Optimal is now a 2'52.1, but my best lap is still 1.5-2 seconds off that because I can't seem to put it all together. Frustratin' because I love Spa and have raced it so many times. Learning some tricks though, being more gentle. It blows my mind how fast you are through some of the corners. I was behind you through Les Combs last night and you gained like 0.7 seconds through there, I wept bitter tears...

Been running the MX-5 at Legume Sega for SR gains... The Skippy had me down as low as 1.3 SR Embarassed
