I'm glad you guys are here to help him. I have a zero tolerance policy towards stupidity in all it's forms. Whether it be straight up dumb, a lack of critical thinking skills or an inability to problem-solve.

I have a zero tolerance policy towards conceited behavior, such as this. What were you trying to accomplish here bud?

 

[CanuckleheadII]

This is my first foray into video. If you can spare 3 mins check it out, hopefully you'll like it.
Congrats to @chatva @DesertPenguin09 @Tangled_Up @ExoSphere64 @brian540 and @TEX36



Big thanks to my wife or else I would have no clue how to do this.

Nice job singlepaddy & wife! Looking good!

This was my favourite race of the night. I have put a little reel together showing my point of view in c3 r1

 

[Falango]

@JLBowler can I plase be moved to the inactive list. Any time that I do have to race right now has been going towards P Cars. I'll still do the banners each week.

The fact that he was having so much trouble and frustration with a simple task. Moving on...

I figured LeSarthe would be too easy of a track, but the CONES and that CAR make it the most challenging round 4 I've done yet. I'm hoping to join you in the 28s soon.

 

[Die_Birdy_Die]

Hay @Raw10_2u use The spoil function for your photos! It cleans up the thread! And nice shots I like the shots of I believe that paddy squealing the tires!

Good practice for the GTP 24 hour race huh connor!

Actually not at all, it's sort of like to learn to ride a backwards bike you have to un-learn how to ride a regular one... the LMP1 being the backwards bike. You have to train your brain to do things almost entirely differently from the normal way. (at least for me)

The lines, the approach to throttle and braking, the downforce and steering are all totally different. I turned my FFB down to 1 (from 6) on my T300 and it's still so bumpy on I can't hold the wheel still through most of the track. It takes a long time to even warm up enough to do a clean lap much less a fast one. It took me 3hrs last night to do a 3:29, and at least 20 mins (and more attempts) to do a single clean lap.

The LMP2 car is like easy mode, very natural and forgiving compared to the LM Nismo.

Connor you nailed it! This car is a completely different monster to ride. This round is going to be really hard. For me to get a clean (with tons of mistakes) 3:31 took me about two hours... I'll try my best so I can join you guys on the 28's or 27's and below!!

My wheel feels like it's going to explode with the force feedback sensitivity up, but when I turn it down the feeling of the grip levels goes to hell.

Of course it's a matter of preference, but if someone finds it useful for round 4 my current settings for a t500 wheel are:

-CSS 5
-FFMT 1
-FFS 2

I'll keep experimenting but any suggestions on wheel settings are truly welcome.

Thanks @Engmatic1,I've taken the advice and have been working with the camera functions.I am camera illiterate,I can point and shoot,,,,but not much more than that!And I changed the clown Avatar,,,,so's you wouldn't be scared!LOL

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Off the current topic but I found this hilarious.

 

[TRL_Importlife]

@pakicote just turn everything down to 1 then do few laps then start raising it by 1 at a time. It's all about what you like ffb and sens don't make you fast. Some people like weak ffb and some like strong ffb it's all up to you and the jerking on the straightes you can't get rid of those it's built into track

HAHAHAHA i can sleep sound tonight. no worries . I am only extending what i rieved when i started a no less than a year ago when i signed up to SNAIL. i always took em and like you it was ''point and shoot'' and wait for that unmistakable whiz and click of the shutter. but here we are finding ways to put what we see on the thread for others to see and i know the high you get when folks like an upload of images hehehe

best advice i got from @TomMang_68 was don't be scared to experiment when you have the time. try every button and setting, push shutter speeds all way down to 1/60 and see what effects that has on different speeds, then push it all the way up 1/80000 i think and see how that works out , also try different panning modes, my fav is mode 2 followed by mode 3. i hardldy use mode1. another thing i like to do especially for images from practice nights is to try the different filters and if you are like me and you appreciate the beauty of a good looking car and want to see if GT6 boys did they home work on the details then i use the miniature filter and pan round the car till i find something some could miss and sometimes i find a gem under the bumper ,near the door handle, next to the exhaust pie, you never know what you could find when you go looking, but word of advice this can also be veeeery frustrating as let's be honest the graphics of gt6 as we all know is often left us wanting more .
On that BOMB SHELL i'm off. movie night with mrs orange mango with the girls in bed. SO SNAILS duty calls ... he whispers silently ''i will probably be back later ''

LOL so I'll try to get it around for 1 gold lap then practice in the lmp 2

I sure can. I don't remember seeing many banner pics, but I didn't keep as close an eye on the thread as I usually do, all thanks to work. I should be able to do those banners tonight.

 

[vsfit]

I've completed my two IR reviews for the week.
Off to PCars I go.

 

[TomMang_68]

Don't congratulate me. That should go for @TomMang_68 as he and I tied for the night and I'm probably going to pick up a penalty so he will end up with Prize A.

On that bombshell..., im going to go buy some new cars, just in case 💡

My plan was going to be to throw darts at the unused car list and then choose a track to match.
