Knocked about .7 off my best lap around Monza by swapping from DS4 to XB1 Controller. It's not the hardware that helped, but rather the far improved support by the PCars2 game of the XB1 Controller vs PS4.

Still a ways to go to get to Dennis Wronka, but I halved the gap to him.
Wouldn't mind being closer, though...

Another 0.7 seconds and you got me. :-)
If you're gonna keep up the racing I think that you should really consider getting a wheel. In my opinion the extra precision really helps.
I also think that VR is pretty helpful too, as you can actually look towards the exit of a corner, or see how much wiggle room you've got on your sides. But that, of course, is a completely different price range.

Also, if you wanna land a top 3 spot, try Dubai Autodrome GP. Currently there are only 6 times with the F40, and I'm first by over 2 seconds. Third place is nearly 5 seconds behind. ;-)
And the track is pretty nice too.

Dennis Wronka wish I had the space for a wheel. Even my Hotas is unplugged.

Ian Stoffberg I have a playseat challenge, the whole rig folds up well enough to go under the stairs.

Craig Barratt I need to clean up the mess around my keyboard and take a photo. Very cramped setup.

Last year at the sim racing expo I saw a chair which can hold your wheel and pedals, and when you don't use it, it kinda folds away and is like on the back of your chair.

Are any of you interest in being part of a coding sub-community of GGG+ One of the things I enjoy most about G+ and the communities that formed around Elite Dangerous has been the gathering of personalities that seem to share a lot of hobbies and interests. Many walks of life and philosophies interested in overlapping topics like music, tv, movies, humour, food, wine, etc. One of my hobbies has always been coding. The past is littered with 100's of started projects and abandoned code. Clearly, I haven't been an 'completionist' or 'achievement unlocked' kind of person in this regard. I guess in my case, I was not able to sustain that level of drive and enthusiasm for most of those pet projects. With Unity, I've found a system that allows me to express my gameplay idle thoughts as something tangible and I've started watching tutorials and putting objects on the screen and animating them. The results have been quick and rewarding and I'm starting t

So, in the spirit of Elite Stories, thought I'd share my perspective of last night.

So, in the spirit of Elite Stories, thought I'd share my perspective of last night. We had barely met and there we were suiting up and using our limited funds to buy guns, ammo and gear for the mission we'd been thrust into. It wasn't an honour we'd earned. Others had died, we were next. There were no reinforcements. Nobody was coming to save us. In fact, quite the opposite was true. We were going in to rescue a squad who were sheltered and taking fire. They had sustained heavy losses and couldn't hang on much longer. We headed purposefully down the streets, checking our guns and making sure we had our grenades and medpacks on standby. It was brutal, but we made it to the rendezvous, battling past waves of patrols sent to stop us. We were in trouble, but there was always a teammate to lend a hand or a hail of bullets. Somehow we made it. Learning to watch our for each other and keeping a wary eye out for signs of sniper activity. We scavenged more ammo and m

Unlocking Hera Tani

Unlocking Hera Tani This is just so pointless. 4 trips for no good reason other than waste time. It's probably going to take me 4 days. I can't imagine that the same people who brought my favourite game back to life could come up with such a useless system as the various engineering unlocks and crafting system that you HAVE to do to progress meaningfully. I'm just in a miserable mood. Sorry. God knows if I'm ever going to mine the necessary 250t of whotsits...
