I really like those apex speeds Chris is holding. My only WG experience is with every single car in iRacing, so that's definitely impressive to me.

thought so.

yea they have a lot of problems w transmissions overheating.

as with any datalogger, the key is the software. the new aim does look promising, cant wait to see it out. i am still stuck with the pbox, its good but not great

for most people, its hard to drive around a 60k car around the track fast....

The software for AIM is very powerful, but with the power comes a extra complication so the learning curve is a little steeper.

Yes, there was a very fast modified GT-R there for Day 1, but he doesn't run time trials, I'm assuming because of the track insurance situation.

it seems that way, my pbox used a weak software before they jumped to the new race logic that made it much easier to use. i can now quickly compare llap to lap compare to before.
do you use trackvision or racerender to setup the video?

Trackvision.

cossie1600 · 09-16-2011, 04:11 PM

for any reason in particular?

Just what we had a license for. RaceRender looks pretty good as well.

Go figures, I can't get the Racerender software to read my datalogs and it seems super confusing. Trackvision 2.0 is much easier to use, I guess now I have to fork over $149W@#E$R%T^&*I(

Chris,
Great work at WG. I had one of those pants warming moments there with COMSCC a few years back in exactly the same spot. I just picked up a 370Z SP 6M yesterday so you will have some company with COM next year. I wouldn't mind speaking with you or seeing your car to get me started in the right direction parts wise. There seems to be alot out there and I don't want to make bad decisions the first time out. I won class championships in 2001 ST1 and 2002 SPA with COM. I sold the toys to start a business. I am back now

Welcome back James! It will be great to have some company on track for sure.

There is some great information on this site about what mods are effective and which ones aren't. I'll follow up on PM about my experiences.
