Nice, I have all the hardware needed to build gimx, I wanted to build one with the cheapest solution out there (Pi zero) but I didn't know there was snailers in the group who messed with gimx also.

Both pc and Pi versions worked well, but the Pi boot up process was much quicker. I'd say they emulated at about the 98% level. There was always this strange little weird feel when doing a large left to right motion, like going through a chicane. It was like a small force holding the wheel back when turning back the other way, which would suddenly release, it was minor and didn't really effect the driving but it was noticeable. I found it ever so slightly more noticeable using the Pi. I put it down to the Linux OS, which quite often has issues when trying to run something designed for MS OS.
Matio, the GIMX developer, still has this disclaimer on his site:Warning: RPi support should be considered as experimental. Be prepared to face issues if you try GIMX on the RPi.
I wouldn't let this deter anyone but he is letting you know there can be issues. Other than the little glitch I explained, it works just fine. I did have a buddy program the Pi for me though, as he is very knowledgeable with them.

Nice thanks aerolite, definitely helpful info, thanks again man :-)

So for figuring a mid division lap it's what I'm running + 2s?

That's a fair assumption

Yeah, the G29 took some getting used to the brake feel, but it seems to be coming along for me. When I first got it, it took an unreal amount of force to reach full braking, but it seems to have broken-in to where I don't have to literally stand on it for 100% and I can judge pretty well if I am full or just 'dragging the pucks'. I may consider it when it comes time to convert to Pcars or the next GT.

I recently upgraded from G-27 to the 29. Using GT-6 until the next GT Whatever comes out.

With the 27 we could eliminate the Dead Zone at the top of rotation.

The 29 has a serious Dead Zone, and I don't know how to close/remove it.
Any suggestions?

I think this came up recently, and it was determined that there isn't a way to remove it.

Mine does not have that, sorry Tex

PCars has a setting to get rid of that, a good excuse to come to the dark side Tex,

 

[Whitey093]

The Dark Side sucks. Ive had PCars for a few days now and have yet to complete a lap without going off track, into a wall or looping it out of nowhere. Impossible to play this game on a controller.

That had entered my mind as well, but I'm glad you ninjad me.

However, I have to wonder if that setting could actually remove the dead zone Tex speaks of, or would simply aid in limiting any further dead zone than his wheel already provides.

Ask Lessen, he's pretty darn good with his controller, as are a couple of others, don't know how they do it!
But you really do need a wheel, the sim is awesome!

I'll pm you my controller settings after a little while. But generally speaking it just takes time to teach your hands precision. I also found it VERY difficult and quite intimidating at first. Stick with it though, if you're fast here, you'll be fast there too.

Hello fellow racers!

I am ketiux and used to host lobbies on GT6 on weekends. I would like to get back to it and SNAIL seems to be the place to be. May I take a minute or two of your time so you can tell me how do I join this league? I am interested in the spec races where I think it is categorized by divisions? Where every racer drives out of their skin but fair?

@ketiux

Here's your official SNAIL Welcome Post!
​

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join SNAIL Racing League:

We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the SNAIL OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide. Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:

1. You start a conversation and add @CoachMK21, @JLBowler, @nmcp1 & @zer05ive as participants. The conversation title should be "Request To Join".

2. SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join the SNAIL [Spec] Racing club. Sunday races are organized exclusively through the GT6 Community features within the game.

3. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below.

• Original Post
• Drivers List
• SNAIL FAQ

4. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

Again, the original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread. If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, please follow the instruction contained here.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to SNAIL

Thanks paddy for d3 winner's banner

Hmmm if it is not that Major Blixem guy from Canada. Great job and I do enjoy racing with you mate but boy do I get '🤬:censored:you when I loose to you in second place. Those were some of my best and most inspirational drives mate but it's like you always have more sp

eeed to squeeze out of corners . But do not worry mi mate. Papa is going on his mango binge one of these weeks and dust you.

Well done mate you deserve it

Now of to bed and let's do it all over again on sunday

Whitey, you are bashing the game from a gamer standpoint. Even with a wheel, there is a learning curve to master, Aero took a couple of months to be up to speed, other controller users have made the jump quite successfully. Keep at it, Lesson is definitely the guy when it cums to controllers and how to master the Dark Side. One hint, be gentle on the throttle amd try a slower car to start.

 

[Whitey093]

Im sure it will take time but holy cow i can barely drive a straight line. Ive poured over the pcars forum for controller settings but nothinh has helped. Hopefully i can get it sorted out. Theres no way im venturing out on track online until i can control my car and am not dangerous to others. I can see how it can be rewarding to have such a detailed level of sim but i really do appreciate gran turismo's forgiving physics now.

 

[Lessen]

I was on the same exact boat man. Initially, getting around track was one thing, but actually racing cleanly?.. Phew! It'll come to ya. I'll turn the game on tomorrow and grab those settings, although they are not much different from a recommended set of settings I've seen somewhere.

Nope, I haven't modified it at all. I considered it, but I seem to be doing well with it in so I am going to leave it for now. I did buy the shifter - I figured if I didn't I would regret it later.

Correct... I fixed that in the post. LOL! A 1:12 around "the trail" would be quite exceptional! LOL

The track is a bit of a challenge but the car is peppy enough to get around the twisty circuit
