‘Tis the season for issues by the sound sim it. I spent a chunk of yesterday reconfiguring my rig due to USB conflicts. Turned out my Anker 9-port powered USB 3 hub had partially failed (only 3 ports left working) but due to conflicts, it wasn’t just a case of plugging stuff in elsewhere (the Rift VR was particularly hard to please…)No, but it's a Seasonic 860W that a friend assures me is sufficient for my 980Ti graphics card. That card probably needs dust blown out of it after 7 years of use.
The recommended method of uninstalling all entries under USB Controllers in Device Manager ran into problems as I couldn’t identify which ones covered my mouse and keyboard so I couldn’t reset them all at once.
Anyway, enough tech - we’ve got a dedicated area on the forum for that!
I’m guessing that another outing in the Trans Ams might please more people than it annoys (I had an unhappy evening* and Ed seems to have lost the love somewhat)?
Giorgio made a suggestion for a track (New Jersey Lightning?) that I’ll try. Riverside (I think it’s riverside - another desert track) might suit (Bridgehampton was ace!) and there may be some others (NOLA has been mentioned).
I’m somewhat inclined to give the Caterhams a run from the week after next possibly - even though I‘m finding them incredibly frustrating at Croft (they seem to understeer like a pig compared to the real thing and the disparity between front and rear suspension travel/springing/damping just feels wrong)…
*DCs setup was very welcome but I had to lower my car-specific FFB as the steering was overly heavy for me with my DD wheel - and I think I kept getting caught out by the asymmetric setup. Lost the car at some point in race after race and always ended up nose-in to a barrier, usually with a stalled engine, and no way back in a 4 lap race.
