Another Hyperstim Session

[brchi17]

After talking to a few members (not just Wayno;) )there seems to be almost enough people who would be keen to do a race night at Redmist Racing in Narre Warren.

A Saturday night would be best & it would be good if we could try to find one that suits as many people as possible.

For those who do not know what I'm talking about

I'm game for a laugh.Give the rest of u guys some entertainment at least.:)

Reading about these Hypersim events triggered me to have a dig in my unit and yes I did find it.
I made it for myself, It stores in a normal cupboard lifted up with rubber feet on the back panel.
It is all welded aluminium,Aluminium plated (Very light) powdercoated and a Go cart seat, has provisions for all pedal panels and a universal dashboard plate for nearly all steering wheels.
I did have it somewhere on a display years ago.
To my amasement a boffin from Harvey Norman approached me and wanted to see how these would go in their shops as an item to sell their games etc.
So we installed one in Osborne Park shop.
They took over a 100 orders in a forthnight!
Plus they did a intershow nation wide racing competition and the Osborne park shop won, apperently due to the simulator according to the chaps that worked there (and loved it) and then the usual Harvey Norman trick was tried ,they proceeded to lay the law down on me re price, and the stock I did have to carry.
I was not intrested in it so it came to nothing.
Silly Harvey had to front the potential buyers, Hehe.
The unit went into storage intill now.
Due to the yellow colour I was thinking in adding blue with a black border to make it into a renault F1 but I do not play these games anymore , I plan to display some of my 1:1 racing bikes where this unit currently sits so anyone interested?
Here is a pic.
If so PM me.

[ferrari fan]

Just played around with it and I am not very good at it as you can see.

[ferrari fan]

Bye the way, I only "photoshop' painted it.

Need you ask? :)
Saturday the 15th falls on my five days off (hint, hint). ;)

[brchi17]

Ok fellas,

For those interested the only date available is Friday the 14th of July - sorry Wayno ;)

We've got 7 to 8 spare seats for those interested

Sorry, that's a no dough occasion:(

A week or two later would work...

[VXfan]

14th is no good for me either,sorry.:(

[wayno]

Seems we might be in a little strife then. Hopefully we can get a date going in the future. Friday would probably be ok with me, but if everyone is going to have problems maybe we can just look at some practice Brad?
More fun with more people though. ;)

[brchi17]

Well ok guys how about giving us another date that suits then & we'll try, I know the 14/15 suited Wayne, but it was the only date I've had to go with. :D

[VXfan]

Any nights but Fridays work for me.
Cheers,
Tony.

[wayno]

Any nights but Fridays work for me.
Cheers,
Tony.

Ok. We'll have to see what's available and go from there. I don't mind my shift work, but it pretty much gives me only one week-end a month. :(

Ok mate, I'll scrap the idea for the 14th - I've inquired about some team practice Wayno, waiting to hear ;)

So guys how about we look ahead a month or so, check our calendars & see if there is a date we can come up with ???

As far as I know, my Saturdays are fine apart from August the 19th as Wayno & I are racing together in the 3rd endurance race as a part of the enduro series - going for our 3rd straight win too :eek: !!!

No worries Brad,if we can get a couple of weeks notice,I for one will clear my schedule for it.
Cheers,
Tony.

[wayno]

August 11th and 12th is my next block of days off. Racing on August 18th? Hmmm, looks like a sickie for me even though Brad would probably fare better if I didn't show)! :(
Any shift except afternoon shift I'm pretty good on for Saturday nights, but Fridays are usually no good.

If it's a better date, I can run it past the crew at Redmist & see if it's available......:)

Ok I will try for the Saturday & see if it's avaliable

[brchi17]

Ok fellas, we've got a green light for Saturday the 12th of August, who's in ???

We need 8 or more to make it a goer :D !!!

I know Wayno is keen & so am I, so there's two.......

[VXfan]

Make that 3!:)
Cheers,

[AmonFan]

Brad, what game are they going to use?

[brchi17]

Brad, what game are they going to use?

V8's on N2003

[brchi17]

I know I've been away for a few days (& will not be around as often as usual in the coming weeks), but I've had some pm's & thanks to those people.

I thought I'd put this up again as there are still spare seats for this night, Saturday the 12th of August

[brchi17]

5 spare seats if anyone is interested

[brchi17]

bump :cool:

[spoonster05]

I've got to check next weeks roster when I go into work tonight so I'll let you know either way later on..

[Road Runner 72]

Whos Idea to send me a PM :)

I'm in for the 1st time will be good catching up with you boys, though I feel I will be going backwards on the sim up against you experts

[VXfan]

Don't worry Mike,I'm used to a PS2 controller so I'm going to struggle in a real simulator!:eek:
See u there!
Cheers,
Tony.

[Road Runner 72]

Does some skill on the atari count Tony? :) River Raid champ here.

[AmonFan]

if theres any spots left, i'll make an appearence ;)

[VXfan]

I guess we'll soon know?;)
Cheers,

[Road Runner 72]

Wooho it would be great to meet you Amon hope there is a spot left.

I might have to plug in the slimline PS2 & work on some driving skills then, so I at least can keep the car pointed the right way on the track.

Cheers
Mike

[VXfan]

Hey Brad,any idea as to which circuit we will be using?
Anything but Kyalami please! (I seriously suck there)
Cheers,
Tony.

[Road Runner 72]

I dont care which track as I will suck at them all............lol

[brchi17]

Hi guys back again for a little while & yes amon, there are still spaces available ;)

At present from the forum attending we have......

brchi17
Wayno
VX fan
RR72
lcfp2297 ?
Amon ?
spoonster05 ?There could be a couple of others as well, but it still leaves 3 or 4 spare seats & should be a cracker of an evening, I can't wait as it's been almost a month since I've been driving and I need another fix real soon :D !!!

It's ok Tony, we won't be doing Kyalami & to be honest I'm not 100% sure which track we'll run yet, but Wayno & I had a bit of a talk last night over a coupe of frosty's & we've got the list down to a couple, so it will just be a surprise on the night :cool: !!!

If there is anyone else who wants to attend, please either post in this thread or send me a pm.

By the way how does a 6:30pm-7pm start sound ?

[AmonFan]

Time is fine, just hope it isnt any of the Aussie tracks, lol as i seriously suck on the NR2003 versions

[VXfan]

6.30-7.00 is cool with me.Bathurst would be a good choice of track;)
Cheers,
Tony.

[AmonFan]

Lol oh no, im not going then ;)

[brchi17]

Tony I would strongly recommend not driving Bathurst on a 1st night ;) In fact i would recommend that you spent about 1/2 a dozen nights in the hyper before you try to tackle Australia's greatest track, that said if we get time, I' sure we might be able to go for a quick thrash around it :D LOL !!!

I think it's got to be one of the/if not the, hardest tracks to drive on the limit. That said, it's the ultimate when you come close to getting it right & one which I hope one day to put in a real flier on :D LOL !!!

That said my best lap to date is a high 2m06 :D.......

[spoonster05]

Managed to get night off so I'm in but I'm tipping I'll be doing a Thexton and lapping very slowly at the back as it's first time doing it :D

Should be a good night providing there's no Tracey / Tagliani incidents :p

[Tumbo]

Just make sure that you don't attempt anything on Leigh guys; I did and suffered the worse for it :(.......not as bad as Dingo's response to my *bump at the start of race three :D

[brchi17]

Should be a good night providing there's no Tracey / Tagliani incidents :p

You'd be surprised that this kind of accident is the most popular kind when new drivers hit the track :D LOL !!!

There are view Left & right buttons, but they're often hard to find in amongst the other 12 buttons on the wheel LOL !!!

If anyone is interested in doing a very small amount of homework before the night check out the driver briefing (http://www.redmist.com.au/driverbriefing/index.ht ml) as there are some interesting things in there. ;) - it take about 15minutes to click through the little presentation....

[Road Runner 72]

So I have to use the brake then....

Since this is my 1st time I will try keep out the way of you guys, but least it gives you a bit more of a challenge with me out there.

Cheers

Yes you wanted to do that oring thingy one, you know the one I can't spell the name of didn't you......???

Well even if you didn't, it's the one we're doing :p !!!

Was thinking that seeing we've got 4 hours that perhaps we could spend the final hour of the night on an oval as well, how's Daytona sound ???

cheers,

[VXfan]

I can't race on ovals for sh*t but what the heck,why not?:)

[Leigh]

Yeh, don't stress Mike...I think I ran Amon off the road a couple of times as he came up to lap me:o

Matter of fact, I don't think there were too many people that got past me unscathed when they were lapping me...I have these really unpredictables apexes on the straights:o

[brchi17]

.....Matter of fact, I don't think there were too many people that got past me unscathed when they were lapping me...I have these really unpredictables apexes on the straights:o

[wayno]

I thought Apex was a club. :confused:

[AmonFan]

Ok after talking to Wayno last nite i did some testing, yes its legal as i was using the running gear in a Dodge Viper Trans Am car ;) Great track, although because of the high speed nature i can see some massive crashes coming up, lmao.... and my lap times, well thats a secret, lol....

Another great night out at Red Mist tonight:grin:. Great to catch up with a few guys from the forum, and put some more faces to names...

Congrats to Amon for winning the night:D

A BIG thanks to Brad for organising it:2thumbsup:...especially with the couple of weeks he's just had.

Cheers

[spoonster05]

Had a great night despite spending most of my time rally-driving or in the pits replacing blown tyres (managed to stay out of the faster guys way most of the time though!!) and it was great to meet some of the other forum members

Definitely want to do more of this now and thanks from me to Brad as well for organising it all

[VXfan]

Top night all round.:cool:
Many thanks Brad,and cheers to all u guys who made it a great night.I reckon Larry should give us all a lap start next time though!:D
Here's to the next one.
Cheers,
Tony.

[AmonFan]

Hey, i was'nt that quick, Brad was doing faster laps, just the traffic was kind to me most of the time ;)

It was great to meet some new faces and perhaps next time an easier track, lol.....

And thanks Brad and finally just quickly tested Mallala and Barbagallo and they are very good :D

[brchi17]

Hey, i was'nt that quick, Brad was doing faster laps, just the traffic was kind to me most of the time ;)...

I know what you mean, some of the traffic was really hard to get past & others were sensational ;)

I really enjoy these type of nights as there's not the pent up anger of some of the league drivers are usually about to laugh off incidents & have a fantastic time :D !!!

I must admit, it was a little disconcerning when a back marker spun & took me out of the lead in one of the races & then proceeded to drill me from behind as I was trying to drive off - I think he'd had too much of the sponsors product - Jack Daniels :D LOL !!!!

[VXfan]

Yeah,and that guy in the Cat Ford was ..............dangerous ,not to mention the lunatic in the Autobarn car!:D :D
Cheers,

Lmao you should do the Pro Kart enduros. Ive lapped guys only to have them drill me on the next corner, and these guys are supposed to know better, hehe.... I admit to getting very hostile then, lol.....

The JD car nailed me on the last lap of the last race, lmao he outbraked me into turn 4, mind you he was going backwards :D

[Road Runner 72]

Brad, yes cheers for setting up the fun night & to the others guys thanks for bringing the fun factor, it sure was a blast.

Just call me the pole master of disaster..................

Wish I was in a Holden tho. "it would not made an ounce of difference non the less"

[AmonFan]

Did anyone else notice something unusual about the nite? car 1 actually won some races as well as the series :P

[VXfan]

Yes and Car #2 had a mediocre round....................oh wait,that's not unusual at all.:D
Cheers,

He he, now that you mention it he does

I'm definitely in when the time rolls around again and would love to get behind the wheel of car 3 again, I also quite liked the Tasman pit crew, Tony can attest to how fast they turned the car around in one of the races...

He he, now that you mention it he does

I'm definitely in when the time rolls around again and would love to get behind the wheel of car 3 again, I also quite liked the Tasman pit crew, Tony can attest to how fast they turned the car around in one of the races...
hmmm,made the HRT crew look like snails.;)
Wonder if there is a demolition derby enduro race.We can team up!:D
Cheers,
Tony.

[AmonFan]

On a serious side, perhaps we could do the mmm Bathurst or maybe Barbagallo on rfactor in Porsche Cup cars, people seem to adjust to that quicker and you have ABS, lol...... I have some brilliant online races using this game and cars ;)

[VXfan]

What's rfactor?
Cheers,
Tony.

[AmonFan]

It was the game the kids were playing or the game that was on our machines before we hopped in, had fomula 1's and Renault Meganes on the Game intro.... You can run F3, F1, FNippon, Classic Sports cars, Nascars, Porsche Cup, Proto Type Sporties etc, etc, even ride on lawn mowers

[VXfan]

aah,I remember now.
Sounds good to me mate.:cool:
Cheers,
Tony.

Yes they've got rFactor, but not had a lot fo use yet, I think a lot of it has been due to getting the game sorted out for use on all of the simulators - bit different it how it's used online.

I do know that the game we used (N2003) is on the way out but there is not a lot of mods for rFactor that I've tried, that I think are better than the one we used Saturday night.

The Porsche are very close, but it's taken a lot of testing & work with the set up to get them handling realistically (according to Steve Owen)......

There are plenty of good tracks for rFactor out there (like N2003) & also the Renault Megane's are a good one too, especially on the Gold Coast street circuit :D !!!

[AmonFan]

Brad, i think hyper had the older porsche physics, there has been a few versions, with now a new version, i think pretty much a copy of the ones in GTR. They are much better than the first few. The Porsche Cup, Megane and F3 are most popular with the karters and car drivers as far as the ones who play it from home online.....

[VXfan]

Gold Coast circuit?Doesnt bear thinking about....:eek:
Total carnage!

So what version of the Porsches is that then, they were using V1.1 of the German version......

[AmonFan]

All the Porsche variations have been updated to a 1.2 version. This happened about a week ago. With default setup i can do 2m15s around Bathurst, the AI are doing 2m13s, Richo etc with Marc Cini doing 2m22s, so i reckon its close, lol.......

We would definitely win that one, don't know if Wayno would be too impressed though :D

[VXfan]

What with my "racing line?what's that?" approach and ur 'oops,no brakes cornering' we will be unstoppable!:D
Cheers,
Tony.

[wayno]

I'll be in on taking it in turns punting Wayne off:D

Sook! :p

[brchi17]

Guys I'm glad we didn't try ovals.....

We tried our 2nd night of oval racing in our league last night with people who are meant to know what they are doing & it was a total disaster.....

Some of them didn't understand oval racing & were trying to pull off kamaksi moves on the very first corner instead of being patient. In a 29 lap race we had 5 green laps and the rest were yellow :rolleyes:

Needless to say after nearly 45 minutes of following the pace car I'd had enough & went home, I couldn't stand another two races like that.....

[VXfan]

Sounds like any oval race I have tried on my PS2 :D
Must have been very frustrating mate.
Cheers,
Tony.

[Mark Wicks]

Hey, the ovals are hard, aren't they! They're also great fun, but it's so frustrating to race with rookies on them. At the Lilydale centre, they only allow experienced A-grade drivers into the oval league because it is just so damn hard to keep the race clean. We don't even use full damage because even the a-graders screw up - often!

Sounds like you all had a wow of a time the other week. I just hope I can make the next Biante Hyper date :)

Great! So glad I'm trying to swap a shift to go and race that this Saturday for the enduro's! :rolleyes:

[brchi17]

Well considering the race is 200 laps long & a yellow period lasts for about 4 laps, the enduro will really be about 25 one lap races with 15 minutes of yellow (spare) time between each one of them, give or take a few :rolleyes:

[wayno]

I bloody well hope not. Bacchus Marsh to Narre Warren for yellow flag racing is NOT what I'm in this for. :mad:

[brchi17]

Just heard that there is only 3 cars entered for it pal, so it's highly likely that it will be later in the year now......this could be good as it gives people more time to get used to oval racing ;) !!!

[AmonFan]

Brad, when we play online we use team speak, so you have a headset and talk to the other drivers, that way you pretty much know what the other guy is doing. We dont have to many crashes and thats with about 25 or so guys. I wonder if you guys could use team speak?

[wayno]

Thanks Brad.
I would just like to say that I think I have copped an unfair pasting in this thread! :p

I know it's been tested in N2003 & not been very successful, that said I'm told it works rather well in rFactor, but not personally tried it. Granted I think it would help. but that said, some people do need to learn that you don't win an oval race in the 1st or 2nd corner :rolleyes:

[AmonFan]

lol i didnt realise you could use it in rfactor, lol i just learnt something, hehe.

[Leigh]

Thanks Brad.

Just making an observation Mr last of the late brakers! :D

That's OK Mr "I can't pass slower traffic without punting them"...

But we all have our flaws:p

But he does it so well!:D

ah Tony, I'm sure in time when you become the fast one, you'll see just how easy/hard it is to predict where the unpredictable are going to go/fall off the track & be able to make the right call 100% of the time :p LOL !!!

[VXfan]

Hell no,I'll just punt them off like Wayno,seems to be very effective!;)

[wayno]

Hell no,I'll just punt them off like Wayno,seems to be very effective!;)

Thanks Tony. You did me a big favour. After watching you guys race I've made an appointment with my optometrist for another eye check up as my sight is obviously not up to scratch.
I tried and tried, but for the life of me I could not see those witches hats on the straights that you obviously could!
:p

[VXfan]

I'll pay u that one.:p

[AmonFan]

I think you blokes are being a bit harsh on Wayno ;) Wayno was one of the few people i was able to pass cleanly without being punted and i passed him on one of the fastest parts of the track, we were exiting the final corner at about 140 mph and we didnt touch ;) i found him very clean ;) ok done my suck job for the day :P

[wayno]

Lot of trash talking going on. The return bout should be a corker! :D

[brchi17]

Provided they can catch us hey pal ;) :p !!!

[Road Runner 72]

I didnt get punted much, but its hard to be punted while taking long breaks in the pits ;)

[spoonster05]

Provided they can catch us hey pal ;) :p !!!

We don't need to catch you, we make your races more interesting by being unpredictable when you're lapping us anyway :p

Now if only I could stop wearing out a set of tyres in one and a half laps I may finish a race 2nd or 3rd last and not dead last :D

[wayno]

Provided they can catch us hey pal ;) :p !!!

I just want to be able to catch you! :confused:

[brchi17]

I just want to be able to catch you! :confused:

practice my friend, practice :p LOL !!!

[wayno]

practice my friend, practice :p LOL !!!

Speaking of which............. :)

how does this Thursday night sound ;) ???

to all the hyper stim steerers out there, has anyone had anything to do with the future of pc simulation? i keen on finding out more & getting one.

I think that racing legends game may have been canned.... most of the concepts of it have been put into upcoming modes for rfactor.

I thinking the samething, either that or they ran out of $$$ to get it going as their site has not changed for well over 12 months.....

Other than rFactor, there is iRacing (http://www.iracing.com/) which is coming but little has been said of this - it's being made by the group that made the Nascar series from Papyrus

cheers,
