@iRacingTV when you get to the COT are the setups provided still?

[truckbasher]

cool!

[SuppaNova2012]

@iRacingTV okay dude your right games perfect.

[iRacingTV]

@SuppaNova2012 If you read the forum you can see Dale Jr saying things that need work. That's a bad thing he's talking about. Again, that isn't correct. I'm staff too.

[SuppaNova2012]

@iRacingTV oh thats right ive heard it from one of the staff themselves, and they still sign something that makes them not say bad things.

[iRacingTV]

@SuppaNova2012 Of course it has a model, it is rather simplistic at this time though. If there was no model it would be a lot different. Errr... You're wrong about the disclosure. People who test for us sign an NDA, but you're making up everything else, sorry.

[SuppaNova2012]

@iRacingTV im sure its been stated they dont have an aero model!

Damage model should be second on the priority list next to the tire model, i mean how could a guy hit a wall head-on and still run the same sometimes quicker lap times? i mean the real drivers have to sign a discloser that they will not say bad things/ opinions on how the cars feel in the forums or in any press! umm.......so dales not paid he just gets content free and free service to not say anything bad, sorry i was wrong!

[SuppaNova2012]

@iRacingTV what that isnt related to DWC its related to the faults of iracing that should be fixed already it couldnt be to hard since they already fixed the top 3 series!

The kind of weather im talking about is cloud cover changing tracks, wind at SS tracks affecting speed, thats what im talking about!

[iRacingTV]

@SuppaNova2012 Rubber and multi-lane racing isn't going to be faked. I'm not aware of anybody else who did it realistically. I think your anger here comes from the fact that we try not to fake things that are really time consuming to even fake. Dave has been working on a tire model for about a year now, solid. That's related to just about every driving issue.

Damage needs work, will give you that. But that isn't where the priority has been. We wanted a driving simulator before a crashing one.

[iRacingTV]

@SuppaNova2012 Hm, I must be making contact lighter than you are. They don't use the late model in the DWC, how is this related to them?

We have aero, by the way, it's primitive but more advanced than anything else I know of. It isn't done the way we want it done, that doesn't mean there is none. We have static weather, we can't make weather change during a week when everyone has to have a level playing field anyway. What kind of weather to you mean? Rain etc is a pretty long way off.
