Ya, wreckfest was a bust on Friday......I just wasn’t feeling it. In fact, I’m losing my desire for sim racing in general. It’s sometimes a struggle just to turn on the machine. Maybe it’s just Pcars that’s wearing on me. This game is getting old, just like me. Last night was a bit of fresh air racing with a few of our guys on Assetto Corsa, jeez, I forgot how good the car physics are in that game.
We need a change. Steve and I are running out of ideas to keep the Lounge fresh and fun, which is why we are starting to repeat combos from the past which were fun. We need to recruit new blood to fill spaces, six racers does not make a fun racing room. We need ideas from you unwashed masses on how to improve the Lounge. Maybe series racing like every other league? Maybe shorter races like Snail with default tuning?
The Lounge is not going down without a fight......Monday nights would not be the same without my weekly dose of hilarity, depravity and shat talk. I call it therapy, keeps the depression away.

Agreed, we definitely can't lose Mondays.
I do like the idea of a series race or mini championship. The one I got involved in with the Brits a few months ago. It was pretty good for competition and it was class racing (VGTA etc.) and I really enjoy the class racing.. We could pick a class of cars and have an A and B class like we do. I like the shorter races, as some of the nights with longer races wear me out or I have to bail because of my schedule.
I personally don't think we should ban tuning, but in the interest of the lounge, it that's what the masses want...
Let's plan an Assetto test night then. It's cheep and easy (like me). I believe I have the 312T tuned pretty good and it would be great to do some races against the Lotus 72. Show of hands who has Assetto or is willing to get it...
Wreckfest is a breath of fresh aire because it's simple and fun - but same thing - only if there's enough people and I don't enjoy it nearly as much with strangers.
It would be really cool if there was a good combat flightsim we could all play. I played my buddy's Ace Combat last week on his XBox. It was fun, but not an immersive sim. It's restrictive and you can't even do proper rolls - similar to War Thunder I think (can we play that online?).
Man I'd like like to shoot an AMRAAM up your tail Mike! Wait.... that didn't sound right.

One final thought that I sorta alluded to above.
I think the bottom line is that we have a great bunch of guys, and that is the core of what I enjoy about Mondays (and Fridays).
Doesn't matter what we're doing it's just great to hangout and laugh with you all, since we can't do it at the local. That's what I want to keep.

I don't believe we have tried all the cars... zakspeed Capri, moby dick Porsche, the lotus super seven. Lotus can am car has not been run for a long time. Trans am mustang.

3 divisions still going strong. But that's down from 5 divisions since Spurt was released. I think numbers fall off no matter which way you cut it as any game's shelf life begins to age. Once PS5 and GT7/PC3 launch the numbers will shoot back up.
The invitation is still out there for you BOB's to rejoin SNAIL. It'd be a breath of fresh air, which is the same reason why I join you guys here from time to time.
Speaking of which, Mr. AWESOME will be in attendance tonight

Here's my view of tonight - Only one worth watching is Silverstone, starting at 1 hr 40 min. Sorry , no highlights, but pretty much everything after lap 9 and is non stop action oft he mid-field pack swapping spit!
Grrreeeaaattt time tonight!
Congrats Colts.. You're OK.... no matter what the BoBs say....
You say it's being recognized as the wrong hardware in PS4? To me that sounds like a driver issue in the PS rather than an issue with the Thrustmaster firmware. Have you checked for the latest SW (drivers) on TM's website?

Not being anywhere near knowledgable enough to work for Beartech....here's my .02 from my tech nerd days:Hey guys. Having difficulty with my new wheel. Motor is getting hot when plugged in. When trying to update firmware, The T-GT is recognized as a T150. I'm thinking it's possible the wrong software was loaded from the factory. NOT HAPPY!

Ughh... The HOT motor was the problem to start. As a journeyman electrician I know the smell, and when to pull the plug - IMMEDIATELY!!!! So, after a couple PS4 startups the wheel was doing the same thing: Calibrating, then just sitting there getting HOT as Fudge! Like within fifteen seconds of calibrating. So I did exactly as you recommended, downloaded the driver update software, plugged my wheel into the PC, and my PC recognized the wheel as a friggin' T150! So, needless to say, kinda hard to get the latest version of the wrong wheel's firmware installed. Hard, but not impossible. I think I have it cracked. I was able to wipe the wheel's firmware and then update it. Everything seems cool now, at 3:20 am
. I'm just now going to take it on track and see how it works. Frustrating night. I kept calling Beartec, and all I got was, "We're sorry, all operators are busy at this moment, please try your call again later." If you ask me, Bear needs to hire more employees. Oh wait, they're still hibernating.

When I call Beartec, they just keep asking me if I want Bloccorri and Lice...

As in lag, or you couldn't keep up.
I just lost connection to the Twitch server in the last race, a few laps in... "I" wasn't experiencing any connection issues with the game.

Both, but it looked like lag.As in lag, or you couldn't keep up.

Also, I need to remember to close my radiator in these types of races.

Results Great night of racing guy's, especially race 4, was fun making my ass as big as Bears and giving him a taste of his own medicine lap after lap! And those last 5 laps was some epic close racing, as you can see in Shaun's post above.
Congrats to @coltsjugg, this weeks "Mr. Awesome" for the overall win

Thought I lost the replay from the last race, I was bummed. Then I remembered, who needs an awesome replay when you’re awesome anyway?
Those cars where awesome too.
In the replay it looks like my cars scraping along the ground the whole time though.
Thought i’d be awesome and change the filter. Basically me hermopopop and Sam, until Sam said hello to the inside of the corner. It’s obviously just following me, so you really don’t know who’s who, so just enjoy a solid race.

Well you have gained weight, and it did all go straight to your ass. I come by mine honestly, (bears have big asses) but yeah, who cares what position we finished in.. those last laps were intense.

Yeah I know, double post... give me a fish slap. So who doesn't think that was some of the most aggressive but respectful racing they have seen yet?.. bumping, rubbing, sandwich making... but if ground was gained unfairly, it was given back. Now THAT is how to race. Woohoo! My paw is raised to all... great racing!.. great cars!.
That should be posted to recruit drivers.
