• Trying dual and triple monitor setups for sim racing 2008-08-28 · 31 posts
  Andrew MacPherson described trying dual-screen spanning on his Nvidia card and being converted to wide multi-monitor views. Others discussed Matrox TripleHead2Go, large LCD TVs and the SoftTH utility, and Tim Wheatley got a cheap three-screen setup working using his TV output. Andrew later found eyestrain on the TripleHead, which Tony Rickard suggested might be helped by vsync and refresh rate settings.
• Building a sub-1000-dollar rig for triple screens 2006-12-20 · 29 posts
  Pat Dotson asked for a budget system able to drive a Matrox TripleHead2Go for rFactor. Tony Rickard advised that nVidia was needed for TripleHead2Go and SLI offered little gain in sims, and Dotson bought an Athlon X2 with a 7950 GX2. Others compared memory upgrades and widescreen monitor setups.
• Request for chicane-free Monza and old Spa for GT Legends 2006-06-06 · 24 posts
  A poster asked for Monza without chicanes and the old Spa for GT Legends, and others wished for 1967 tracks for GTL and rFactor. Political jibes intruded, but Tony Rickard listed on-topic subjects such as GTR2 and the Logitech G25. Dave Henrie explained Simbin used modern tracks because licences and survey data already existed from GTR.
• Need for Speed: Shift tips and sim credibility debate 2009-09-17 · 29 posts
  Jeff Reid posted tips on driving modes and car upgrades in NFS Shift. Andrew MacPherson enjoyed its Nordschleife and Veyron challenge despite the game elements, while Schooner and Ronald Stoehr argued its upgrades, drifting and AI made it an arcade racer rather than a sim. Uwe Schürkamp later tried the demo and found some earlier gripes fixed.
• Andrew MacPherson's month in iRacing: diary and debate 2008-08-27 · 30 posts
  Andrew MacPherson wrote a Big Brother-style diary of his first iRacing month, complaining about the Solstice rookie car and paying for extra content while praising the Skip Barber car. Pat Dotson disagreed about the Solstice, and old RAS regulars like Goy Larsen reappeared, joking about reviving the old RASCAR crowd. Remco Moedt cancelled his subscription after finding no one to race, and posters debated web forums versus Usenet.
• Racing fans discuss combat flight sims and newsgroups 2008-03-03 · 24 posts
  Tony Jester asked for the best combat flight sim newsgroup and was directed to comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.flight-sim, which posters said was nearly dead. Members reminisced about Digital Integration's Tornado, Hind and EF2000, recommended Falcon 4 Allied Force and Enemy Engaged: Comanche vs Hokum, and shared tips on running old titles on modern hardware.
