iRacing hits 9000 axctive drivers in May by
Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
That's 9000 who participated in at least one race in one series. What it tells us
about the overall state of play with so many dead series is a different matter.
Growth does seem to be steady and fairly linear though, and the graph Darren Marsh
posted in the New Drivers thread does have enough...

Finally joined the GPL Nurburg 500 sec club by
Jeff Reid
The 500 second club refers to getting a sub 8:20 lap time
in Grand Prix Legends at Nurburg Ring. My new time is
just under 8:19 (8:18.77).
Surpisingly, what got me started was Nascar Racing Season 2003.
Hearing that the Sierra server may be getting shutdown soon,
I decided to try NR2003 online...

How tough is the MOMO? by
Helicon_One
I've more or less destroyed my current steering wheel (Thrustmaster 360
Modena), the springs on the gearshift paddles have broken, the throttle
pedal has gone very light presumably from a broken spring in there too, and
finally the clamp has gone. I don't *think* I was particularly hard on it,
but...

If so, I apologise. I've not been keeping track of sim racing stuff lately.

EA Nascar SimRacing... by
Shock
Ok, correct me if I am wrong, but I think EA has made a good decision by
hiring former Papyrus employees. Also, it appears that possibly they
are taking already written code and putting a EA face on a Papyrus
engine. Here's a link:

On AutoSimSport Rant by
alex martini
On careful consideration, I can understand why certain offense was taken to
the final column of this month's edition. I am aware of the criticism, and
have evaluated the column.
However, I stand by the fact that it was firstly a rant and, secondly,
reflected a real problem within the sim...

PS2 Force Feedback vs. PC by
Mike King
Can anyone comment on FF on a PS2 vs. a PC? Just general opinions. I play a
lot of GPL NR2003, F1C, LFS, so I know what the PC can do.I'm thinking
about getting a wheel for a PS2, and also considering getting an XBox. I
know that there is at least one wheel that supports both. The only problem

Should EA apologize? by
ZZ
I was wondering, while I read the posts about how to get NSR running,
should EA apologize for putting out such an unfinished product?
I don't have it, but reading here, it seems like it's an unfinished game
and was pushed out the door in time for the "500".
Again, I can only tell from what I read...

GPL and 100% detail bias... by
Jussi Koukku
I've recently upgraded my system to finally achieve that magic 36fps
at the back of the grid with 100% detail bias... but there's a rather
nasty side effect: the cars are partly transparent for about a second
after the flag drops. If I reduce the detail bias the effect
disappears. And this seems to...
