I totally agree, the ACC update made the game feel much better to me as well.

AMS2 has always been a tier below for me because I found the behavior at the threshold of grip to be very weird and almost slightly unpredictable.

The F1 car I tried with the update seemed so much better and I hope it transfers to the rest of vehicles the same way.

Oh man, I’ve been waiting for the V1.5 update! All cars now have the new tyre physics.

For those unaware they found out they’ve essentially had a fairly critical issue with the model for years where systems were feeding the model competing information at the same time causing weirdness in physics behavior.

This is a huge change in handling.

While all of that is great and true it’s almost irrelevant because adding gif support doesn’t hamstring the privacy of the application.

SimpleX is newer, has arguably better privacy and already supports gif keyboards etc…

I use them both honestly, but I wouldn’t pretend missing some basic features is because of some higher privacy principle.

Oh boy, that’ll be interesting. I quite like the wet haha.

I’m going to have to look into that, thanks for the heads up!

Mainly trying both of them out for a bit to figure out which I prefer.

I actually wrote MinimalGPT as a project for myself because I found using ChatGPT annoying for certain things.

It’s just a minimal chat client where you provide an OpenAI API key for GPT and you’re off to the races.

Conversations and all data (besides the messages you send to OpenAI) are stored locally to your browser.

https://minimalgpt.app, it’s also a PWA application so you can save it to your mobile Home Screen for a full app experience.

GitHub Repo with a fleshed out readme for more info.

It’s a great audio library system, I use PodGrab to subscribe to podcasts and download them and AudioBookshelf for playback and organization etc…

Correct!

Hopefully it’s better than the official IOS version. I wrote a better web app in a weekend than the official Apple version.

That’s more of a dig at the iOS devs than a brag on myself lmao.

I prefer SimpleX to Signal, Telegram and Matrix tbh.

Well that is just ridiculous.

Thanks! I’m using Autoblip and Auto clutch, one of those might be doing that?

One day I’ll get a nice H shifter haha

My main sims these days usually are AMS2 or ACC but here lately I’ve been getting a feel for AC.

I do have rFactor 2 but I need to go through the hassle of setting it up again…

I’ve noticed with this car being so heavily biased rearwards with the brakes by default you really have to work on bleeding off the brakes coming into corners.

Too much brake and the rearward bias tends to straighten the car out when attempting to turn in at low speed. Making the car feel terrible at turning in.

Eventually too much brake for too long will result in locking the rears or fronts (if too much steering is applied or front biased decently) if you completely overdo it.

Maybe try working on you brake trace coming into corners etc…its all a bit tricky at first but it’ll click eventually!

Here’s a brake trace example for a bit of context.

Being nearly a foot shorter is a huge step in the right direction.

So true, I think my worst experience has been rFactor 2. It seemingly took ages to get all the tracks and cars I wanted as well as VR setup.

A huge shame too because i really liked the feel of driving in rFactor 2. I might give it another go this weekend now that I have a decent GPU.

He would probably run away from a mouse lmao

Haha gotta spend time with the family!

I’ve only been averaging maybe an hour a week myself lately, a far cry from the 20hr+ sim racing weeks I put in during my younger days.

Just enjoy it when you can I guess!

I just find it the easiest sim to just get in and drive haha, the tyre update fixed things massively as well. Unfortunately only a handful of cars have that update for now

It would be interesting to see what sims most people drive. I seemingly switch around between AC, ACC, AMS2. I just refuse to pay for iRacing things.
