Practice Sessions

Anybody up for some testing / practicing tonight?

I might be game...what time?

Same, hoping to be ready to go, working on my setup right now. What time and all that?

I'm down.

Anytime after 7:30 pm est works for me

I guess no body wanted to tonight.... Richards....

Any hope for tomorrow night?

I could probably do some practice runs tomorrow night... Will have to see how tired I am after work.

GD weddings/rehearsal.... oye. I won't be on tonight... I'll be hoping to be on sometime next week...hopefully.

I was wanting to, just not able to. Got a 32" tv for Black Friday and was setting it up on my computer and didn't have a spare HDMI cable for the 360. The one downstairs is so buried in my entertainment center I can't get it out without a dismantle. Then when I finally got the tv hooked up, the color seems off. Finally got the resolution about right, and went into iRacing to watch Tux race, the colors are off. Bad. Then went into another game, and the colors are worse. I finally got the color to the point where on this site where it says post a reply and all that stuff, that that's finally yellow-ish. Just not having a good time with this thing yet

Welp, that went over well. Maybe tonight?

Rem, alot of TVs can't handle computer output colors and resolutions. Make sure you've dialed your computer back to the minimum settings, then see what the TV does. If it's good, start moving up in the settings one step at a time.

Also, if you're wanting a better resolution/color combo, you should use the PCI or DVI-D cable.

What kind of TV is it anyway???

Well, tv quality might be the issue. It's an Apex LCD 32" tv. Got it from Target for Black Friday. I'm running a DVI-D to HDMI cable because the tv only has HDMI or VGA and I have no VGA from my computer. I'm debating returning it, I'd like to keep it but I don't know. Got my computer dumbed down to the tv's native resolution, but even still some letters are bolded while others are regular, colors are off, stuff like that. Oy.

That may be true, regarding Murphy's Law and all....hopefully you get it situated.

Best Buy has lots of good deals on 32" TVs. Maybe consider returning the Apex? And if you go to Best Buy, stay away from Westinghouse.

Problem is, I've been working on this for a year now, and this tv was only $147. Best Buy is more expensive, and won't happen. If nothing else, at least I know I tried.

Good luck Rem. The only cheap TV's I've been impressed with are Vizio. 150 is hard to argue with though if you can get it to work.

Right now Samsung tvs are the best for the value and seems you can find em cheap if you shop around. I've had three now 24" monitor/tv(1080p) and a couple big screens. Love em.

anyone want to put TIRES on the road today with the new guy?

I'll be on shortly. Need some more practice myself.

I'll try to jump on in some time before the race.

Sorry for not saying much this week, I've been busy. Roscoe, I'm sure we will have a spot for you tonight, come race with us.

I'm down. I'll be on around 10-12pm CST

So, what are you all running for times at Indy? I managed a 1:33 but just like last week, I can't touch it again. So I figure we'll be seeing some 1:29 or 1:28 but just wanted to see what I should be aiming at. You know, other than actually hitting that 33 again.

I want to say I'm around there too.

sounds about right to me, 33's - 34's are pretty good lap times
