Mainly controller stuff. Do you have a wheel and pedals setup?

What kit are you using Andy? I used the settings below for a quick AI race. I reckon if I'd added another few minutes to the race, I would have nabbed pole from the winning car. Started 2nd from the back on the grid and seems a nice balance of AI ability, without them resorting to Mad Max...

Nothing going wrong on cars terrifies me as much as electrics do. Rust and corrosion can be cut out and replaced. Electrics can baffle even the most dedicated and capable minds. Not forgetting the small, yet plausible risk of setting the damn thing on fire when messed about with!

The sort of times I was getting at Brands to give some form of (average!) yardstick....

I've done a variation of that route a couple of times and can confirm that the roads are indeed great to drive on. On the map I did - I lopped-off the northern section - and went straight across from Sedbergh to Hawes - and onto Aysgarth, before heading south from there. Need to redo it at...

Good suggestion - I'll give that a try myself.

OpenTTD would be a good one, but maybe a little too involved for kids? https://www.openttd.org/

The server is up and running at the minute if anyone wanted to join? It's on Brands Hatch at the minute, if you search for ClioSport.net. Again, the password is Clio2004 Not in there myself just yet, but will be later.

Genuinely think that Rockstar have utilised the dark arts of voodoo with this game. Fired it up the other day on my PC and Alt/tabbed back to Task Manager. Even with all the bells & whistles enabled, it was hovering around 2.7GB of memory usage. How they ever managed that, I have no idea. Just...

Not added to this for a while, but Homeworld Remastered Collection is most certainly worthy of a mention. The setting still 'feels' good to this day - but back when the original was released in 1999, it was mind-blowing. This remaster dates from 2015, but the ambient, sometimes hauting music...

Hi all, I've heard on a few occasions when I've switched the car off, the whine of the system spooling down. I've definitely not manually switched the air-con on and the A/C light isn't enabled. I never use the Auto function either - so I'm a little puzzled as to when it dictates as and when...

I might rename it to ClioSport.net to make it a bit easier :)

Sunday afternoon is most likely for me in-between the rounds of BTCC at Croft. The server name will be Rossendale Racers and the password Clio2004 - if you fancied joining? Make sure you search for all servers or else it will likely miss it. It did that to a mate of mine before he cleared out...

So, with regards to setting up a server for this - I had a random Xeon box lying about, doing nothing. Formatted with Windows 10 Pro and loaded it with the Assetto Corsa Competizione server software - I've managed to get it working fine and without paying a penny for the service. Happy to...

Interesting - I only use a USB-C from the laptop to the dock, to which the monitors are connected. I didn't realise that you could do it in reverse?

Do you mean DP as in DisplayPort?

A great read Andy! Read the majority last night and then finished it off this morning. When's the next chapter? ;)

Hmmm - just checked my Epic Games library....

It's a bizarre addiction that most people can relate to. I very rarely play anything on Epic for the main reason that I detest their front end app - it's like the designer for the ex-Origin app gave himself a labotomy with a chainsaw and then felt compelled to write the Epic Games one. I have...

Fanatec on the offers again.... Ended up ordering the load-cell pedal today. Looking forward to having some additional resistance on the brake pedal now. :)

I should have said actually - I've taken the mechanism off a few times in the past for pump issues and the like. Like you say, it's not that difficult a job but it's more the respraying of the linkages and their parts. I assume that I'd need to key or prep them with them being very smooth?

Has anyone removed their wiper linkage and revamped it - including repainting it? After 18 years, mine's looking decidedly sun-bleached grey and with a little dribble of rust from under the central linkage. Ideally, I'd refurb it to all black - but is it a ballache does anyone know? Thanks, D.

I wouldn't mind one of these those... 4TB ideally... ;)

Exactly that - yep. Couldn't complain really for less than £80.

Just for reference if anyone was interested - a couple of NVMe M.2 benchmark comparisons. The first two drives are 1TB Gen3 and the last is a 2TB Gen4 that I picked up in last week's Amazon sale. Standard Samsung drive... Samsung 970 Evo... Corsair 2TB...

I've only recently come to terms with the fact that VR (and getting the most out of it) requires a lot of manual intervention. I naively thought that for 90% of it - it would simply be plug & go, but that's clearly not the case. As it stands, I can see no real discernable difference at all...

My windscreen is awful as it's the OEM piece of glass - many hairline scratches and tiny chips from road debris. But I'm loathe to swap it out due to this very reason. The windscreen on my previous car had been replaced at some point and was lovely and clear to look out from. But water was...

Is it simply called 'Clio boot organiser' or similar? I'll keep a lookout for one of those, thanks. :)

@Brigsy - liking that boot tray organiser! Where's that from?

I was going to say this. Mine was making a racket over small undulations on the road surface, coming from the offside front ARB bush. Got that sorted once we knew what it was and it's been fine ever since.
