I’ve got a G920 and have played about with the settings slightly in AC. It felt a little too slow for me personally and I increased the sensitivity a little. I don’t know what they’ve done with ACC though. I’ve fired that up from a fresh install and it suits me perfectly. I literally remap a...

Welcome aboard!

It might actually be worth checking what your iCloud backup is being consumed with as well? It could be downloaded music or a film from ages ago, or other backups that you no longer need?

Me neither - and it's one of the biggest silly 'arrogances' of Apple to charge extra for more space. However - it's 79p per month to increase the storage capacity ten-times over standard. When it comes to having that large capacity over the potential of losing pictures or files that I haven't...

What's your storage quota with iCloud at the minute? Are you on the default limit?

I mentioned and pointed out the tail-pipes to Alex when I was there! Usually horrible, crap-covered things and frustratingly awkward to clean - that now looked super-shiny! I can’t promise how long they will stay like that, but again, little things that all add up in making the car look a lot...

Finally, ‘Collection Day’ arrived – just one day short of the car having been away for three months. I caught the train down to Stansted Airport and arranged with Alex to bob over and meet me in my own car. I heard it before I saw it – walking over from the meet & greet at the airport...

Whilst removing my headlights and swapping parts over, Alex had noticed that part of my driver’s side unit had appeared to have melted at some point in the past. It still worked, but that’s never a good sign! My air-con rad was shot, along with a fair bit of the accompanying pipework. Those...

New bearings in the hubs – I honestly can’t recall if I’d ever had the originals replaced? Alex agreed that the brakes were shocking. Not the pads and discs themselves – but the lack of any direct force applied to them. Quite frankly, it was dangerous – the handbrake creaked and groaned...

My first project thread on here and one that’s a bit of a stretch to call it ‘my project’ as I did little more than agree to things being done! Anyways, a bit of back-story first… Back in November 2018, I created the thread below and kind of sat on it for a while...

Some new features in Windows 10 v2004, it seems...

Nice to hear of another old-timer Clio being resurrected and looked after. How is the underfloor and cills on a car that's been Down Under for two decades? Pretty free of rust?

Yeah - as @McGherkin says - there are plenty of us on here. If you ignore the likes of iRacing, there really are three main contenders for racing games on the PC right now. Project Cars 2 is a good balance between serious driving and arcade feedback. It’s instantly playable out of the box too...

The worst I've seen was at the home of one of our director's. He had a converted barn and one room was separated from the rest of the house by a solid brick wall - it was part of the original outer wall of the barn itself. Nothing that we tried could get through it - and the router was...

This is the thing. Although it could vary how you get from A to B - you're adding a lot of extra steps into the 'chain' of communication with wireless. Encryption, decryption, interference through building materials, proximity to appliances such as microwaves, distances between the wireless...

Yeah - even with fairly thick bevels at the edge of the screens, somehow your eyes see past those to appreciate the three-screen view. I don't spend enough time on racing games to justify the trio, unfortunately.

Tell you what though - back in late March, numb-nuts here thought he could work from home using his own 27" monitor - and that I wouldn't really require all three monitors from work. How wrong was I! I'd dread to think of the amount of time wasted in minimising/maximising screens, dragging...

You’d have no trouble with that. Mine is set to 144hz at 1440 on my 1080.

Yep - don’t bother with additional AV at all. Although you can still be caught out as such, I think user education is far more useful than weighing down your OS with additional layers of software checks and validation. It also makes it more difficult to assess what’s the core issue if you have...

Hence my personal preference for a decent monitor. Our TVs are Samsung shite - but I'd be more gutted if anything happened to my PC monitor!

You're not running via DisplayPort by the looks of it - but this is worth a shot https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/nv-uefi-update-x64/ Stopped the flickering and flashing black screens that I got on mine about 85hz. 144hz was a lottery. Didn't matter if I used a basic cable or a premium one...

Read some article last night about some 'spy shots' of a 3080. Not sure how real/likely those are though.

That does look cool - never heard of that before?

You're right. As much as I really like Assetto Corsa Competizione - it's a niche game. And niche games don't rake in the same amount of money. I've been trying to get a couple of races setup as a regular Thursday evening thing. I've no problems at all drumming up interest for PC2, but hardly...

All about the ping life... :LOL:

As with all powerline adapters - make sure you don't have them plugged into trailing sockets as many have surge filters that can affect the transfer of data. If you can - I'm a massive advocate of running cables. It can be a pain - but sometimes it can be very straight-forward. I'd certainly...

.....I'd be telling that "Perfect Corners" message to f**k right off as well.

WTF is with all the Mario Kart pickups on the circuit? Very early days - but I highly doubt I'd be keen for PC3 based on the above. I think I'll stick with ACC.

Total Annihilation is free over at GOG.... https://www.overclock3d.net/news/software/total_annihilation_is_currently_free_on_gog/1?fbclid=IwAR2ywCLVCJVnaFsKtNftgk0XcFgMQd7cr-L35sARwyUae7srZrBrJ0OC9po

Those running costs are similar to here, depending upon the insurance part. New drivers or those with convictions will likely to pay a lot more. Mine for argument's sake (and the fact that I'm 45 - lol) is almost a 50/50 split. The road duty (tax) for a 172 or 182 is currently £305 - around CHF...
