This is why I find it hard to stay away from iRacing... by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
I'm two weeks into my second month on iRacing, and although none of my schizoid love it/hate it instincts have gone away, I have finally discovered a keyboard shortcut which makes movie making more viable in iRacing. That led me to put together this...

Anyone know how to get a Steam refund before F1 2010 goes live in the UK? :-) by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
The trouble with this split release rubbish is that I get to sit and stew for several days reading poor reviews and disappointed comments. In truth this is exactly what I was expecting. It's Codemasters FFS! And anyone with half a clue could easily read between the lines on those interviews where...

iRacing finally gets its act together by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
....in the form of the MX-5. Yes, the new Williams F1 car is grabbing much of the limelight (and there's a great 3 month, car & two track package for new customers) but I spent most of my day off yesterday racing the MX-5. It was simply superb fun, and I think I did more road races in one day than...

NKPro 1.3 - Hill climb at Trento is a must have by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
NKPro finally gets a track which will ensure I put some time and effort into it for a change. This long, winding climb up a mountain is a real test of your skills, and although nobody could accuse the new rain effects of being perfect, they are surprisingly convincing once you get into the swing of...

rF2 updating by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
I've been pretty impressed by this in the past. But I've just spent an hour messing about trying to get myself updated from whatever the last version was to whatever the current version is and the end result was me rage-quitting and uninstalling the whole thing. I just couldn't get the updated mod...

iRacing hits 9000 axctive drivers in May by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
That's 9000 who participated in at least one race in one series. What it tells us about the overall state of play with so many dead series is a different matter. Growth does seem to be steady and fairly linear though, and the graph Darren Marsh posted in the New Drivers thread does have enough...

Best rFactor mods? by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
I'm on another sabbatical away from iRacing and, as usual, find myself messing about with all my other sims looking for a bit of stress-free, offline AI racing to scratch the racing itch. LFS is out because the AI is shockingly poor. GT Evo has failed to grow on me even though it probably offers...

Help! iRacing resistance breaking down thanks to Week13 fun races by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
I need a bit of rational perspective from you guys. I'm inside the iFence for another couple of months (on the half price offer from a while back). But next week is the Week13 'fun' week, where iRacing stops being a racing concentration camp and becomes more of a holiday camp instead. (Well, they...

iHave sinned! [Episode 23, in which Andrew McP iRents more cr*p] by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
Regular viewers will be familiar with the schizoid adventures of Andrew McP in iRacing-land. You will be sick and tired or reading about his whiney, in-out, in-out (shake it all about the track) trips to the virtual world where nothing is free except the speech in the forums... well, sort of. It's...

[Movie] Silverado... a road racer's adventures in pickup truck land by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]

World Racing Series demo - well worth a look by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
http://www.worldracingseries.net/ Not the prettiest sim engine in the world, but perfectly adequate. And with all the aids turned off this trip around Lime Rock is -- IMO anyway -- rather impressive. It felt a little sterile at first, but with the aids off I soon started to push the envelope and...

State of the Sim Union by Andrew MacPherson[_2_]
1) iRacing: still the most impressive ponzi scheme in the history of sim racing. 2) pCARS: now beating iRacing as the most entertaining sim soap opera. 3) rF2: still the manyana sim. It'll be brilliant... one day. 4) Asseto Corsa: current simulation wet dream. Looks good, sounds good, and...
