AFAIK nobody is running against him

The Factory Must Grow
I’m almost 100 hours into my new space age save, and I’ve played nearly 1k hours since I bought it 5ish years ago. By far one of the most enjoyable games I’ve ever played and I highly recommend it to everyone who enjoys sandbox games
I’ll go Linux when I don’t need any more windows based software, and there’s been almost 0 progress made in that sector in the last 5 years.
Between games that don’t run on Linux (Apex, CoD, any other shooter) and professional tools such as Lightroom and photoshop, there’s no way to switch to Linux without needing to boot back to windows multiple times per day.
There is no data transfer between RB and RBR. This has been clarified multiple times and the FiA closely monitors what data is shared.
Technically yes, but they still have the staff to do it and could get them back. Of all teams they have comparatively little to lose from this.
I typically just ignore the weekend and check the results/highlights at the end of it. There’s no reason to get up that early to watch a procession.
I’d place a large bet on it being Aston Martin, Alpine and Audi/Sauber proposing it. It’s a massive advantage to them over RB and Haas because RB and Haas are beating them using parts bought from RBR and Ferrari respectively.
By proposing this rule those teams stand to benefit greatly from some of their largest competition being nerfed for performing too well.
The sponsors unfortunately aren’t. The whole reason it’s the way it is was to give sponsors more screen time
Tracking can be done, the rest of everything can’t, especially at F1 speeds.
Even professional grade cameras and lenses can’t reliably track f1 cars like that automatically. Photographers still frequently have to use manual focus to capture f1 cars due to the speed, and photography autofocus is much more advanced than video. Not to mention that TV cameras are fully manual in 99% of cases.
It doesn’t really make sense to change them, and even the closest thing we’ve got (the formula e remote cams) are still not fully capable of handling fast corners, straights or a few other things.
The logistics definitely don’t help either. If they didn’t have to setup and tear everything down every week it might allow for a bit more permanent infrastructure, which is going to likely be what’s needed for something like that.
iirc these cameras stick out because you can’t really get the shot down the front straight from inside the fencing.
I believe most other tv cameras are this way on most circuits too
Worth it for the shot
Camera operators are going to often be the last ones in unsafe positions because we still haven’t solved the remote camera problem yet. There’s too much latency to have the cameras that whip pan running on the remote tripods used in a few other series.
You really don’t as long as you’re leaving the OS mostly standard. I’m a fairly high level power user of windows and I don’t think I use any of the 3 outside of development work.
I raced some nascar this time around and didn’t do too bad, my rig has been apart for a few months so I’m getting readjusted to sim driving as the winter sets in
Do a special livery just to not put it on the poster
#justalpinethings
You’re not finding any multiplayer game without some kind of kernel anticheat nowadays, not would you want to. If you think hacking is bad now, imagine how bad it’d be if memory edits were possible again and all the other methods that clientside protection does solve.
Also as soon as they pay you out they either jack up the rates to recover what you paid or drop you entirely as you’re no longer profitable. It’s such a massive conflict of interest
This is the thing a lot of Mastodon users seem to miss. I was on Twitter because of specific people and companies. They aren’t on Mastodon, so I have no use for it.
I feel like this came out of nowhere, but this seems like it’s going to be a giant benefit for Haas as a team. We could very likely see Toyota Haas in the next couple years. It’d be huge for them to move away from the dependency on Dallara for both design and manufacturing and could see them become a whole lot more competitive
I need a new rig soon, the F-GT is such an uncomfortable, low quality product that I just can’t justify the money on replacing.
I’m actually a mod over there, but as a general consumer of content, there’s not enough to make it a viable community. It’s seen a little more activity recently, but is overall a fairly small and dead community.

Rallycross makes for some amazing pictures
This weekend I got the chance to shoot my first rallycross event. Despite literal inches of rain, it was some of the most fun I’ve had with a camera.

Trading Paints Credentials Leaked - CHANGE PASSWORDS
Hadn't seen this posted, but for anyone who uses Trading Paints in conjunction with iRacing you need to go in and change passwords NOW!
There was a leak of 270,000 accounts with emails/passwords in md5 format (easily reversible to plaintext)
If you use the service make sure to reset your passwords asap and if you use the password shared on other services you should make sure to change it as well
iRacing 1440 minutes (24hours) of Le Mans
Anyone want to run the 24 hour race at Le Mans in iRacing this weekend?
Don't currently have an endurance team and just realized the race is coming up quick. Not super fast (like we know from the league), but pretty consistent and know the track/car well.
I'd prefer the LMP2, but could drive a GTE too. Only requirement is a C class license and the track/car.
We're a little sparse on Rig Posts, so here's mine!
Rig is a NLR F-GT. It's handled everything I've thrown at it so far, but it's struggling to keep up. The Seat on this rig has been ripped up by my cat, so a sweatshirt and a towel have gone into service covering up the very ripped leather. I plan on replacing the seat soon, so hopefully won't have that problem for more than another year or so.
Wheelbase is a VRS DFP. It's amazing and I love it. Packs quite a punch and does really try to rip your arms off at full FFB. This is paired with a CubeControls QR (Also known as the aliexpress one) and an Ascher F64-USB.
Pedals are also the VRS Pedals. Currently I only have 2 installed, but I do have the optional 3rd clutch that isn't mounted right now. The pedal plate flexes a lot more than I'd like, even with the additional strengthening kit from NLR.
Rig is a dedicated sim PC with a 11900K, RTX 3080 and 32GB of RAM. Triple 32 inch 1440p/144hz monitors round out the setup, mounted to a Rigmetal Monitor Stand.
I also have a Polsimer F74 that is no longer in use and a NLR GT Rim for if I need a round rim.
I'm happy to answer any querstions!
LEMMY iRACING LEAGUE
Come join us this weekend on Sunday Aug. 6 at 2pm PT/5pm ET/9pm GMT/10pm BST for the inaugural Lemmy iRacing League. We'll be doing 2 15 minute races at Lime Rock Park (Grand Prix) and anyone is welcome to join (Though you will need an iRacing subscription)
There'll be an extra session 2 hours before the race for anyone who may need help. Please reach out via DM if you need any help with any of it.
Hope to see you all there!
Lemmy iRacing Scheduling Poll and Joining the League
In interest of scheduling I'd be looking at a 3 week league with races on Aug 5, Aug 12 and Aug 19, with a possible extra round on Aug 26 Please select ALL timeslots that you would be available. If you have another timeslot please suggest it in the Lemmy comments
Hey all,
Sorry about the google forum, it's set not to collect any info, but we all know how much info that still means google will grab.
I think that due to the spread of timezones interested we should plan to run the races on the weekend. They'd take ~30-45 minutes (Race length to be decided later) but shouldn't take more than an hour and a half maximum.
Please select any timeslots that you're available for, we'll choose the one that the most people can make.
To join the League you'll need to Search for the "Lemmy iRacing League", currently with id 10017. The correct one will link back to https://lemmy.ml/c/simracing as the website link. Request to join and I'll accept any incoming join requests.
Is there interest in a Lemmy iRacing league?
When reading through some of the other comments on the page, I noticed there's a good number of people who at least have an iRacing subscription. Would there be any interest in a 1 month long, free content only league? It would allow people to try the sim for a minimum cost if they're interested.
A 3 week mini championship with the MX-5 Cup, Formula Ford and Street Stocks could make for a lot of fun.
I'd be happy to organize and cover hosting costs if we can get 5/10 people interested
Edit: 5 Interested, I’ll put a poll together later and we can look at running this for the month of august.
