.... Why is that ?

Before downloading it said could be harmful but my Norton said it was safe to download. No issues
They just scanned Knoxville Iowa and they are adding 360 and 410 non winged sprints Monday. I am absolutely loving the dirt content so far.
It its a blast I've had it for a little over a week. Yes the groove will change over a race period, its random. Sometimes you will start in practice on a wet track then it will progress out through qualifying and the race. And sometimes you will get into practice and it will be slicked over and will only get more slick/rubbered up as the quals, races go on. I'm running a logitech G920 only because I also own a xbox one and it is compatible for both, very nice wheel/pedal set.I have a EVGA geforce 650 video card 1gb memory and my fps doesn't go below 841. 2gb of ram, AMD fx4300 quad core processor, everything runs just fine with that setup.
Sounds like ump mods are in the works as well. I bet the non wingers will be a lot of fun to drive
Thats good news .... Im thinking about upgrading my pc before next winter...
Yeah. I'll add, make sure your comp is up to snuff that it's worthwhile to buy a card. An old computer with just a video card upgrade isn't very good. Not sure on your comp, guessing pretty new, and like most, they put an average card in most of them. Where I'm at, got an NVidia GTX I think 645. Which is middle of the road. Radeon and NVidia are the two I'd pick. What wheel you use?
If I do the iRacing, be the G29 wheel, see how my stock XPS 8700 does, and go from there. Looks amazing, glad y'all approve, makes me want to get it more and more.
iRacing takes a strong computer to run it properly. If you didn't spend $700+ 2 years ago then you'll be struggling to run the game at anything other than potatoe settings.
Just because it's 2 years old doesn't mean anything. A 2017 GRT late model is outdated before it's even at a racetrack.
To run anything decent you'll want an i5 at minimum and a decent $150+ graphics card.
I agree with that , I took for granted we were working with a built pc when he said upgrades. I built my gaming pc myself 5 years ago and its nice to just be able to upgrade the pieces you need instead of having to buy a whole new pc when it becomes outdated.
As far as Iracing ,its not an if its a must lol, its what I have been waiting for since DTR2. Check out some races being streamed on www.twitch.tv then search iracing if you are still on the fence.
I have a logitech driving force gt I have had it for 4-5 years . Its an older wheel but a very good one, I am actually looking at a G29 in the future if you pick one up let me know how you like it.
I understand that but mine isn't an off the shelf computer. It was built to run a complicated business software.
I emailed my computer guy the iracing specs and he said to buy a new computer. It would be cheaper that way.
Are you guys buying off the shelf computers? If so what brand and software?
DTR2, man the old days. Loved that game, had a Momo wheel. Good times there. Think I ran under ChuppFan possibly.
I'm not really on the fence lol, just the time it'll take to be good at it. It looks awesome. I will let ya know. Cheaper than the G920, same guts, and a lighted shift point bar.
Yeah I've never changed a motherboard, but mines an I7 so good for now. Have done RAM and video cards, very simple. Guessing rest of it is probably not that hard either. Mostly plug in and make sure sh!t is compatible with each other.
Msi 970 mobo, amd 8370 4gb 8 core processor (hard to swing the cash for an i7) msi r9 390 8gb graphics card, 500gb solid state hard drive, 8gb of ram. It's not cheap to build one but once you're there then you're there for a while.
Iracing dirt is good, I've tested like 50 laps on bottom and t0 on top at Eldora and had two distinct grooves cut in and had loose junk in the middle. The cars could stand a little more front end grip in the slick and a little more power on bottom end. But the coolest thing is how it acts when you are changing lanes and get in the black streak (it acts just like one). Like I said a little front end grip would help as I've tried everything to get front end grip in the slick. It gets a little to tight off throttle too.
Saw this today & thought Id pass it on to my 4m buds .....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8k7ENGY2to
That's one way of looking at it. I look at it from a different angle based on comments made by people who actually do it. Many people have been introduced to the world of dirt racing all over the world simply because of iRacing! Many attended their first ever race and comment how incredible it is! Guess what that does? Yep! MORE fans at the track!!
This is one of the dumbest comments I've seen in some time. iRacing is not keeping people away from the track. I cannot afford a race car, but I can spend a 100 bucks a year or so to do iRacing. I still go watch real racing, as watching e-sports is pretty lame.
Also, a whole bunch of "REAL" racers as you call them, use iracing to tame their skills.
Yeah. I gotta say that sim racing only promotes real racing. The guys in the leagues I've been in used to meet at the track for some face time. I mean...where else are you gonna go to meet other sim racers? Someone's basement? LOL
