What ever i do, it refuses to downshift normally or is it restricted to only downshift under 3000 rpm?

Brands Hatch looks lovely!

 

[Kevin Ascher]

Can't tell.
The Jetta is the only car I don't have...

 

[Ben Tusting]

The downshifts are restricted, but i can't remember how much rpm it is

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

3000rpm

And thats the RPM that my new purchased Corvette wakes up for action

It's impossible to over rev due to the DSG gearbox software. Just change down later and it'll work every time

Where do you obtain these numbers Jack. Are you an iRacing staff member?

 

[Douglas Lundberg]

Nice stuff Bram
I love the Jetta but not a big fan of the vette yet even though many people are, maybe i just need more laps in it.
I dont own Brands yet but im probably going to buy it for next season though, i guess its worth it?

Brands is great.I have the same feeling about the Vette but i think its cause i havent enough seat time.

As for the Jetta its a little different when downshifting but if you start shifting a bit later than usual then its ok.

Nope, not an iRacing staff member.

All the numbers are available to iRacing members through the Stat Monkey threads. You can also glean some of them from the Stat Monkey site http://statmonkey.is-a-geek.net/ilom/whatWhen. The screen shots can be taken at any time by an iRacing member. The Live For Speed stats come from here. http://www.lfsworld.net/?win=news

Bram, there are a bunch of threads in the iRacing Jetta forums. It is a strange car, because the transmission keeps you from shifting until the RPM's are correct. Jetta drivers are used to it, but anyone else gets very confused at first. I tried the Jetta for an hour or so and never quite got used to it, but it was apparent I would have if I'd stuck with it, but there are too many other cars I wanted to drive, so I just haven't spent the time with the Jetta.

The transmission is accurate though. Even the weird 8th gear.

How do you like your new 'stuff' Bram?

 

[Kevin Ascher]

Woohoo Marcin is aboard

I own all the Road Content, cars and tracks. I own most of the Oval cars and about 1/2 the tracks, but I only race road. I just got the Oval cars to practice with them occasionally.

 

[Kevin Ascher]

Yes, finally made it do A

What is the easiest and fastest way to gain License? Im currently C road. Oval rookie i dont touch ovals

THe hosted racing is indeed a big step in the right direction but only half of what the community actually asked from iracing. It would be awesome for communities as ourselves to host your own club and league races with your own server on your own forum. I think that is what David is saying.

Qualy corners count 50% as much as Official Races.
Time Trial corners count 33% as much as Official Races.
UnOfficial race corners count 33% as much as Official Races.
Practice and Test corners don't count at all.

Basically clean race corners are worth the most to your SR. If increasing you Safety Rating is your only goal, then just focus on staying clean. Start the race from the pits and watch your mirrors and especially F3. When you see cars catching up. Pull over way early. Let them by and continue on until the next batch of cars gets close. Rinse and repeat. Finishing 2 laps off pace is fine if you have zero incidents. That's the quickest way to improve SR.

The big one everyone wanted was to be able to boot people. It's not needed so much for password protected sessions, but many want to run public sessions and then boot the bad guys. That should be coming in the next update in 3 weeks.

The other big one would be multi-car/multi-class races. We've been waiting for that on the Official arrive and drive side for a while now too. Hopefully, we'll see that too.
