rFactor 2 Round 2 Spa

I think Caitlin is using a Jet engine in this race

 

Shucks. You sussed my secret tactic. XD

 

Still have these strange lags even beeing alone on the server, maybe it is mod related because I don´t have with the USF2000 or the Clio, or any other mod before.
I think it is wiser to unregister untill I resolved that.

 

Sorry I missed this round, I got the time wrong

 

Hi guys. So... I messed up.

Qualifying: That went ok. P3. I couldn't really have done much better. Toni and Paulo were just too quick.

Race: This was bad right from the off. I made a mistake and lost third on the opening lap, then when trying to overtake 3rd again I didn't see that I wasn't going to stop in time to avoid 2nd until it was too late and I plowed straight into @Toni Talvitie . Really sorry dude. My fault entirely, and I gave myself a drive-through for it.
After this, I had another incident when I lost control whilst trying to pass Ed Jones, and I took him off too. I think someone else got involved on top of that. I'm so sorry for this as well.
To add insult to injury, my freezing problem continued. I'm really baffled by this, as I followed Henri Miettinen's advice for making it run smoother and if anything it was worse this time. Even more baffling is the fact that this only happens to me in this league and not in others. If anyone has any tips, please let me know. Whatever the case, I ended up taking off @Ken Jagger because of my freezing. I'm so sorry you got involved in this.
From this point on, I knew it was dangerous for me to continue racing other cars so I decided to pit to repair the damage, go back out and stay out of everyone's way.
Unfortunately I crashed again and had to do the rest of the race with heavy damage.
To be honest, I think I'm just awful at Spa. Every time I race at Spa in any league, I drive like an idiot.

I'm so sorry for all the races I ruined today. I will try my utmost to stop this from happening again. If it makes you guys feel any better, I won't be able to make next round anyway since I'll be on holiday. Enjoy the Nurburgring guys. Good luck!

 

@Caitlin Penny No worries, I fought back and actually had a fun race chasing people and trying to find overtake. 2nd was maximum, got 3rd spot so not all that bad

 

Sorry Ken

 

For once, and contrary to others, I had quite a lucky race. I won't complain.

Q: Made 10th with race setup. Surprised to see me there, I thought I would be at least 1 second off from every one.
R: My setup was far better than at Silverstone, but still not fast enough.
Avoided two accidents at La Source (T1) at the start and at the end of 1st lap and found myself in 2nd place at that point
I made a slight mistake at Brussels a couple laps later (my car turning too much there) and lost two places in the process. Another couple laps and Paul Anstey got past me, and later on Toni Talvitie did the same after a nice battle together.
After that, I saw I was faster than my next follower so I stopped pushing to preserve result.
6th in the end, I wouldn't have believed it possible at the start, so more than happy with this.

 

In the first corner I got a hit in the stern of the car. Turned around and kicked off the track. It turned out to be the last. The whole race was driving with mechanical damage (steering wheel 15 degrees to the right)

 

Can you folks with the freezes post some specs? Maybe some screen shots of your options screen in game?

It has to be a system config issue or setting somewhere. My lowly system is trouble free but it's lean. No needed services, startups or background tasks, no eye candy or anything that would rob resources.

 

This sim needs some more serious, realistic, terminal damage. I saw a few things that people got away with. I think I may have finished 7th or possibly 6th if cars didn't withstand unrealistic shunts.

@Ken Jagger iracing syndrome is what you describe.

 

With a GEForce GTX 1070 8Go vRAM.
I think the big issue you all have is related to vRAM more than anything else.

 

It's about time we have a F1 Series after this.
What do you say?
We have some great mods, like FSr 2019, and some good tracks to go with it.

Ahh
Don't forget the dx11 menu before running single or multiplayer.
You might want to lower some post-effects or Anti-Aliasing

Cheers all

 

I think the issue comes from the background tasks, updates..
You Tube help me to limit them, no problem at full graphics
