Magnum Land & Armor Combat Editor XBL: Magnum SimHQ Lifer Registered: 01/27/03 Posts: 23289 Loc: Naples, Florida	Not to look like a idiot...but oh well, lol... Where the hell is the fuel settings on the Class A in the settings... most road vehicles have it at the bottom... I'm not seeing it unless I'm missing it... AND... why would the HOF iRacing setup fail tech inspection... it's a iRacing included setup? and finally... just FYI... testing the basics of the car first before I try to either find or do my own setup... With the basic setup my best lap out of 10 was 48.882 Fixed was 48.905 We should all be pretty similar to that with the default setups, alone... just you and a open throttle... right? _________________________ Magnum SimHQ Intel i7-2600K processor Cooler Master Hyper N 520 CPU fan Asus ROG Maximus IV Gene-Z mobo 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 DDR3 RAM Asus ENGTX570 DCII GeForce 570 video card Western Digital 640GB 7200 w/32MB cache HDD Corsair TX750M power supply Corsair Carbide Series 500R black case LG CD/DVD optical drive Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

So iRacing has modeled that in therefore no fuel option...... _________________________ "Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.

Weaponz248 Hail To The King Baby!! Member Registered: 06/07/11 Posts: 1547 Loc: Germany( Milwaukee, WI)	Yeppers! Even in Real life in all three major series qualifying is done on a full tank. The rules changed a few years back I do believe. _________________________ "Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.

Tigerwulf Thread killer. Invisi-poster. Member Registered: 11/20/06 Posts: 474 Loc: Wolverhampton, UK	Did a small amount of practicing last night. I was averaging about 49 secs. Ive got to learn the line now. But, anyway, my question is all i was doing was hold down the accelerator and turning now and then. How do you blow an engine while just doing that?! Testing set ups is ride height etc isnt it? Am i doing something wrong?

*Panther* Contributing Editor Senior Member Registered: 07/10/05 Posts: 3584 Loc: Nellis AFB, NV	Tiger, follow another car in a two car draft for over 10 laps, your motor will blow. You need to watch your temp gauges now while in the draft. She gets really hot really fast when tucked up under another car. _________________________ Virtual Thunderbirds, LLC \| Sponsored by Thrustmaster DF85 Case \| TPQ-1200W PSU \| GA-X58A-UD3R \| i7 CPU 950 \| 8GB Corsair DDR3 \| EVGA GTX 460 SLI 1GB \| VelociRaptor 300GB \| X-Fi Xtreme \| Win 7 64bit \| TIR5 \| TM HOTAS Warthog #01629 \| TM MFD Cougar Pack \| CH Pro Pedals \| Fanatec PWTS & CSP \| Obutto \| 40" Sharp LCD

Tigerwulf Thread killer. Invisi-poster. Member Registered: 11/20/06 Posts: 474 Loc: Wolverhampton, UK	Ah thanks Panther. Didn't see any other cars on the screenies so i thought mag was just in testing. I jnow nothing about ovals and NASCAR so i have a lot to learn. I read about the air intake thing though that prevents too much drafting. Going to have to change my view so that i can see all those gauges!

Magnum Land & Armor Combat Editor XBL: Magnum SimHQ Lifer Registered: 01/27/03 Posts: 23289 Loc: Naples, Florida	I was alone, and you can still blow your engine by certain settings in your setup... IE: full tape for Q... which is what I was doing there. _________________________ Magnum SimHQ Intel i7-2600K processor Cooler Master Hyper N 520 CPU fan Asus ROG Maximus IV Gene-Z mobo 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 DDR3 RAM Asus ENGTX570 DCII GeForce 570 video card Western Digital 640GB 7200 w/32MB cache HDD Corsair TX750M power supply Corsair Carbide Series 500R black case LG CD/DVD optical drive Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit
