Strange. Both played in 720 and 1080 for me in Chrome. Weird that it only seems to affect Firefox.

Yeah, I don't get it. I did a bunch of searching on it last night and found a few people who had the same thing happened, but I never did find a solution. Guess I'll stick with OBS for now as it seemed to work fine.

Is anyone running NiS tonight? No racing for me for a few days. The back on my chair decided to break Tuesday, so I can't run very many laps before I end up falling backwards. Hopefully my new chair will get here quickly.

Work has been crazy this week and I haven't gotten any time to practice, so I will not be racing this week.

I did not race tonight, but I watched a couple streams from top split when I got home a few minutes ago and they were hilarious. So much rage and a real crap show of a race. There was even inter-stream rage between RutgersKev and Abrams. Hilarious!

I'll probably race Sunday, but we'll see. I despise this track on iRacing.

Wien did that happen? I watched Kevin's stream for a bit, but obviously not long enough to see it.

Towards the end of the race. Kevin was already flustered for various reasons (his screen froze and he hit the wall, as a result, under caution) and got a little annoyed with Michael when he was trying to pass him (Michael was several laps down and damaged himself). Apparently, some of the viewers were watching both at the same time and they started posting in both chats about it, which Michael responded to. It was kind of funny.

Both seem to hate Bristol, which I agree with. I hate races where you can't pass. It's basically gotten to the point where I almost never even try to pass because I know if I get stuck on the bottom and can't make the pass I'll get freight-trained by everyone on the top behind me unless I can sneak back in line.

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

Thanks, I'll have to give it watch at some point.

Really hoping dynamic tracks will help with the passing at tracks like Bristol. I'm still pessimistic that it will help, especially with the short races most series are, but who knows. I know they made that video not long ago, but it'd be nice if iRacing could give us more information.

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

So thanks to the other thread, I decided to add up what I've spent on iRacing subscriptions/cars/tracks/hosted sessions.

Spoiler

$1446.65 is the answer. And that doesn't include computer parts and wheels/pedals/other sim racing items. Of course that's also over 5 or 6 years, so only a few hundred a year, which considering how expensive subscriptions used to be and how much content I own, it really doesn't seem too bad.

I can not wait for dynamic tracks

Well I ordered my Oculus Rift DK2 today. I'm going to be transitioning from a three monitor setup. I'm really excited because I know it will enhance the immersion.

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

Man did I have a horrible night last night. Did 2 races in K&N. Both were just wreck fest. SR drop from 3.9 to 3.6. Then went to the carb cup to run the Chevy SS. That was even worse SR went down to 3.45. Started with an irating of 1150 went down to 950. Thinking to myself how much worse can Bristol be then so I took a chance ran the fixed truck race at Bristol and after that race SR was back up to 3.75 and irating back up to 978. Ugh not Avery good night but I was very shocked on how much cleaner the Bristol race was. I was not expecting that. Lol.

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

Also tried plays.tv and it either was very choppy or the quality was terrible. Any suggestions with plays.tv?

You can try changing video recording quality. I've never have problems with it being choppy but did have problems with it dropping quality during recording. I've since changed quality to custom. Can't remember exactly what settings. Still not great quality but not sure how much of that is my PC. The one thing I like most about Plays.tv is it automatically starts recording each time iRacing starts. So as of now, will sacrifice some quality for convenience.

I've tried OBS (think is the name of it) I never could find a way to increase quality of recordings and default quality for me seemed pretty bad.

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

Just finished up a truck race at Bristol. Finished 8th in the top split thanks to some luck at the end. Only 17 cars, but I was #14 so I'll take it. I did remember to record it so I'll post the YouTube link once it's done upload and processing so you can laugh at my awful driving.

Re: iRacing after 2+ years

For some reason this one doesn't seem to be HD on Firefox just like my earlier video so if you want to watch in HD use something else. Sure wish I could figure out why that is. In any event here's the race mentioned above.
