General Discussion / Important info about driver views
« Last post by kelligrew17 on February 13, 2014, 06:04:56 AM »
Hi all! i would like to post some information regarding the recent discussion/debate on the driver views for the elite series.

 Phillip has decided to let us chose weather we will allow open driver view on the plate tracks in a vote.
 
I am in favor of leaving the view open for the following reasons;

1. the driver view is a personal choice, no other driver is in any way affected by another driver's choice of view. Why vote to restrict something that does not impact u?
2. the lack of a reliable spotter/spotters makes the in-car view perilous at best, and increases the chance of driver errors/cautions
3. while the elite league is our showcase of the best drivers. restricting the view is unnecessarily detracting from the overall enjoyment of the game for many. 
4. the lack of forward visibility when pushing other cars is hazard and again increases the number of mistakes/cautions.
5. While i agree with the desire to keep the sim as close to real as possible, we do make allowances for the sim in other cases(chase format, weather, mechanical breakdowns, damage settings. etc.) why single out this item? especially considering it's lack of impact on other drivers.

I am posting this to ensure that u guys have all the information on this issue before u make ur vote.
This is an important issue for me, and i am asking the HDSR community to please show ur support or indifference :) and vote in favor of unrestricted driver views on plate tracks only.

 I would also like to thank all of you for competing with the professionalism, respect, and integrity that i see regularly out on the track! A big thanks to Phillip and the other admins for all their time and significant efforts! I am honored to be a participant!
 And weather u like it or not, I call u all friends!   :)

Mike,

It was pretty crazy....there I was between Joel and Phil planning my late race moves and bam...everything shuts down and a black screen...

I have a replacement board on order and had to get new Ram to match it. I'll try to get this old one through the next few months while I scrape together something for a new setup. This is the longest I've gone without rebuilding so I figured it was just a matter of time.

That is just plain old bad luck Tim. I have something similar to that in my kids and my mom's computer, its a p5nd, but I think they are pretty compatible. If the computers weren't in use I'd gladly give one or the other up!! Hope you find something soon.....

HDSR Technical Support / Need HELP!!!! My mobo is apparently fried
« Last post by Tim Lansberry on February 08, 2014, 07:00:25 PM »
My 5yr old computer finally blew up last night while running 2nd at Talladega...turns out it cooked the PSU so I spent half the day today driving around and finding a replacement. Got that installed and it looks like the mobo is also fried. Computer  won't post , no beeps, no video, but the drives seem to be spinning and video card fan, cpu fan moving. I tried a bunch of stuff today but it looks like the mobo is bad too.

Problem is I don't have the $ right now for a complete rebuild, so I need to find a mobo compatible with my components. The old mobo is an ASUS P5Q-SE Plus LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX, cpu is Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3 16Ghz LGA 775 ^%W dual core processor, video is BFG Tech GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x 16 HDCP SLI supported, memory is Corsair Dominator 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-pin DDR2 SDRAM 1066 (PC2 8500), etc.

I can't find any of the same series mobo in stock anywhere, only found some refurbished ones on Ebay (not really inclined to do that).

Any thoughts?  Thanks
