  • Rather than bitch about poor graphics and blips, maybe you could learn to code and write a better sim racing program. Better yet, learn to drive and you won't have to look at the damage.

  • @MrMe0000 I never said i could write a better program. What i am saying, is for how much this sim costs (by the time u pay for the subscription, then additional tracks and cars, i have well over $500 into this game) i expect to not have so many problems with it. Glitches everywhere. And no matter how good of a driver u are, u cant control everything on the track

    But if u look at the date i posted this video, it was almost a year ago. They fixed MOST of the problems that were really annoying me

  • My cars show no damage.....why? Can you turn it on or off?

  • @Derangedteddy You're ignorant. One of the many aspects of simulating racing, is a precise damage model. If you can't simulate "what happens when you scrape a wall" you can't simulate what it's like to be a driver, dealing with that damage, continuing racing. Fact, an irrefutable fact. iRacing, charges a'lot of money and justifies that cost with "real cost of racing". They use our subscription dollars to fund entire race teams instead of developing the game.

  • @Derangedteddy I have 5ms pings, and internet speeds better than 99% of the nation according to speedtest(), largest host for internet speed testing. I have latency issues. I have 105mb download, 36mb upload. I have frequent disconnects, failed to connect, dropped (thoughtput). It's not iRacing, it's not the user. It's out-dated non-fiber lines run across the nation from various provides who barely pass federal guidelines.

    FYI

  • @MrMe0000 you sound like a mad fanboy.

  • @dogryan100 too bad everything else with the game is horrible.

  • Secondly, latency is not THEIR issue. It's YOUR issue. If you pay a decent price for a good ISP and high speed connection you'd be getting <60ms pings like me. There is nothing iRacing can do to control your or anyone else's latencies. Before you speak, I am a network engineer.

  • It's not a crash sim, it's a race sim. If you want fancy graphics and realtime damage modeling go to a commercial racer like DiRT. iRacing are focused on what they should be and that is making a good racing sim, not some flashy arcade POS racer.

  • @JetlinerXPilotXFSX Damage is pretty good, not visually but mechanics. for example at chicagoland in the trucks you graze the wall once and you are 2 tenths slower.

  • @Phantez2003 good old 2009 where you couldn't blow a motor from hitting the wall. or at all in fact.

  • I agree, damage and car debris is as much a part of racing as the actual racing is. You cant have a simulator if you dont simulate the negatives. Debris avoidance after a crash is huge in racing. Damage is huge in racing, I think they need to get started on that.
