    I've been driving iR for almost 10 years and this has to be the longest blink-out I've ever seen. I just couldn't believe he popped up again after half a lap of not being there. Anyway, good driving! Solid lines and solid temper. Hope to see you in a race someday. Keep up the good work. :)

    You coped well with the blinker...i've never seen it that bad...like driving in fog!

      I had it once that somebody in front of me disappeared for at least 30 seconds. I can tell you that it is very unsettling 🥺

    • @pitbitsdave
      @pitbitsdave  2 дні тому +1

      It was very disconcerting, especially when he appeared directly in front of me....

    A bit disappointing that it took the server so long to definitely disconnect the blinker. It came very close to end your race prematurely. iRacing should be more strict with bad connections in my opinion. Anyway, still a good result with double green!

    When they start blinking like that I just drive like they're not there...if they wind up hitting me I just report them.

      This is the way to do it.
      Consider protesting if it is the same driver doing it over multiple races.
      P.s. This heavily looks like Wifi. Don't ever play games that are very network dependent over Wifi!

    For a 1.3k driver you actually take some good lines. Keep up the good work.

    • @pitbitsdave
      @pitbitsdave  2 дні тому +1

      Thanks, I think my IR suffers because I jump around from car to car and talking while driving also takes up some of my concentration. I'm hoping to get back up to 2k at some point and then maybe push on to 3k, but for now I will run round in the lower splits :)

    i hope that iRacing implement something like invalidate SR deduction when it's clearly taken out by that blinker
    had a race with blinker that are far more worse than this, taken out completely, disqualified.. wasting my time for just taken out easily by that blinker

    Hello David, if I can give you an advice, give more FPS (30 is nice) to your track map overlay, it'll be more efficient and better to watch ;)

    • @YourLovelyJesus
      @YourLovelyJesus 2 дні тому +2

      I think he uses the simhub overlay and hasn't purchased the license, which is why its such low FPS i think

    • @pitbitsdave
      @pitbitsdave  2 дні тому

      Yes I use the free version, but maybe I need to investigate paying for it to improve things

    • @YourLovelyJesus
      @YourLovelyJesus 2 дні тому +1

      @ it is not subscription based so it’s a one time payment and you get the full version, I think it is around 6£ or 7£

    Can you tell if your car is blinking during a race?

    • @Arthur-Tromp
      @Arthur-Tromp 2 дні тому +1

      Good question for which I have no answer. You would think that you at least will notice something, like disconnect and reconnect messages.

    • @davemarcotte1398

      I heard that if others disappear it means that you're blinking. I, had issues a few months back in a couple races. All of a sudden I was on my own? Then it disconnected me.

    is this because the server doesnt care about ping or wants to populate races? or these people choose poor server regions (assuming youre allowed)
    orrr they just choose to play having crappy internet and need to stop ruining everyones experience lol

      It is also possible that somebody in his household started a download or something during his race. He didn't seem to have much issues during the first part of the race.

    • @DeanoRav
      @DeanoRav 2 дні тому

      It's often when someone uses wifi instead of plugging a cable in. This can result in increased jitter (that'd you'd never notice in normal use). But yeah, a general bad connection also causes this. Not necessary high ping, then you'll usually see netcode issues, where it looks like there's a gap, but you crash / get a 1 to 4x (as this is worked out client side, so one user will see a crash, the other may see a gap) - but high ping shouldn't lead to jumping, just incorrect positioning.
