@@K1EsportsSetups cheers bro, 👊 great race earlier 👍🏼

Cheers bro, thanks for the comment.

Ai still struggle massively when it comes to generating fingers, eyes and teeth in my opinion. Lol

🤣

You bet I did… she certainly took some creating to try and remain consistent throughout different shots. It’s so much harder than I thought it would be.

That's what she said! ​@jaysysumakaRatMaster3

Thanks as always JP for the comment. Always appreciated & hopefully some insights to help better your lap or even enjoy the Aston

Thanks! 👍 for the comment bro

Hopefully some of the tips here will help you with your lap time and the areas you might need to work on to better your lap. 👍🏼

Cheers bro, thanks for the comment. You on ps5 or Xbox ?

Glad to hear the videos given you some inspiration to climb back in the rig. The Aston certainly feels great to drive and is very controllable. Let me know how you get on 👍🏼 and thanks for the comment 🙏

@@Scott-b6i I bought a USB hub so I can have more USB’s connected. I’m sure I reviewed this piece of kit in another video. Anyway, they’re easy to find on Amazon. It’s literally one USB that plugs in so you have 4 USB’s with this I plug in my controller & keyboard then I have my wheel plugged in directly to the Xbox. You can also plug in your external hard drive if you have one. But yes, your wheel and keyboard work fine plugged in.

I understand your situation; the rope access industry can seem difficult to get into at first, but once you’re in, it’s definitely worth the effort. Given your background in delivery driving and carpentry, you already have some transferable skills that can be valuable in this field as well as dealing with customers in the bar. Here are a few tips on how to get started and possibly secure funding for IRATA training: 1. Start with Research: One of the biggest misconceptions people have when they start out in the industry is they are a climber first and foremost. This is the wrong way to look at it. You need a skill to offer. Rope access is purely a means of getting to where you’re going to work. If you’re young enough to do an apprenticeship I’d always suggest this first. Anyone can learn to be a rope access technician in a week. Get a trade behind you, electrician, Non destructive testing inspector, welding, pipe fitting, painting, spraying and blasting, blade repair (if you’re young enough) bridge inspection, window cleaner, glazing installation. Having a driving license is definitely a good skill to have though. Learn about IRATA skills on the Access Techniques KZbin page. If you can do your training there as well, it guarantees a good level of training and assessment. I personally started out installing fall arrest roof safety equipment for the first year working for a rope access company. 2. Look for Entry-Level Jobs: Some companies might offer positions where you don’t need a full IRATA qualification right away, but can gain experience while working towards it. You could start by looking for roles like trainee technician or general laborer with companies that already specialize in rope access. They might help with the cost of training once you’ve proven yourself on site. I know plenty of guys who worked as store men in rope access companies getting vans ready for lads to pickup on a Monday morning. 3. Reach Out to Rope Access Companies: Contact local rope access companies and express your interest in working in the industry. Some companies may have training schemes or offer financial support to help you get your IRATA qualification in exchange for a commitment to work with them for a set period. 4. Grants or Funding: While grants specifically for IRATA training can be hard to come by, you can look into some general schemes. For example: • Jobcentre Plus offers advice on training schemes and may have funding options, especially if you’re on a low income. • Trade Unions sometimes offer grants or financial help for workers looking to gain new qualifications, especially in industries like construction. • Charities such as the Prince’s Trust or Construction Industry Training Board (CITB) can sometimes provide funding or support for training. 5. Consider Other Types of Funding: If you’re struggling to save for the course, look into personal development loans or even crowdfunding options. Some people have successfully used platforms like GoFundMe to raise money for professional training. I hope these suggestions help, All the best in your pursuits.

If you want some advice try and go cash in hand sign on and ask the jobcentre to pay for it they're doing mine

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 Yes this is massivly helpful gonna be busy reasearching for while thankyou for the help. :)

@@bilko5109 yeah I don’t always use the same in every car… it just depends how much wheel slip I get when applying full throttle 👍🏼

@@justaddzero You’re welcome bro 👊

@@DFoley64 You’re too kind Duncan… have a great holiday pal 👍🏼

Why leave a comment like this? This game isn’t a simcade on console for starters. Firstly,It’s the same game on console as it is on pc and you’ll not convince me otherwise cause I’ve tried it. Secondly, not everyone has access or the funds to play these games on a wheel or sim rig so I took the time to create a control pad setup that gives as much fidelity as possible for a control pad user. Thirdly, why are you even watching this video if you’re searching for control pad settings? Grow a brain cell before posting such a comment.

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 youtube suggestion..... i dont pretend to play a sim game with a pad .... a pad is perfect for gt7 or forza..... and nop,sorry,but ac acc are not the same games while on pc or console ... console cant handle the same degrees of physic than a pc version do.... played acc on console and on pc with a DD wheelbase... it s a fact

Nope, Also played ACC on Series X with a Full Fanatec setup and on pc… it’s the same game, tiny tiny differences in wheel detail. And like I said, this video isn’t aimed at people like you that have a wheel. It’s aimed at people that don’t. I’ve raced plenty of talented drivers setting descent lap times using a control pad. So as long as this video helps the right people it’s doing its job. It’s people like you with a snobby attitude that sour the sim racing community. Obviously not everyone on the planet can be as entitled as some of us clearly are.

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 i didnt say that you cant be good with a pad.... please read correctly .... playin a sim game with a pad had nothing to do with immersion....of a SIM..... 🤦...i m talking about what a sim is about....and you said i ve got a snobby attitude....just learn to read befor being stupidly aggressiv

You said people are pretending to play a sim using a control pad. They’re not pretending to play a sim. They’re playing a sim with a control pad, because that’s what they’ve got. I’m not being overly aggressive, I’m trying to understand why you would even bother to post such a one sided comment like people using a control pad can’t possibly get any enjoyment from the game. Just don’t post a comment. Sometimes it’s better to keep remarks like this to yourself. It’s just belittling to those that may only have a control pad as their option.

@@jayjay4k I use 2 buttons on my wheel. One which I’ve assigned to tc1 & one that I’ve assigned to tc6. You can do this in the game controls/traction control menu. I do this to reduce the amount of impact the tc has on acceleration. It might be worth watching this other video where I explain more. 👍🏼 ACC Traction Control explained kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZiXYaerZc-qqLM

Cheers bro, next time one back home I’ll give it a whirl 👍🏼 I’m sure the 3 little lifts through the mountain section are costing a heap of time.

@@JPKelly-xr7tr Couldn’t agree more on all counts, I think my video was more like… WTF, is that it, all the hype around the forth coming video and you delivered this??? It tells us nothing & leaves us guessing everything. Not a good combination. Thanks as always for the comment JP 👍🏼

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 To be clear: you're vid. was not what I was referring to. Your vid. was short, concise and on point. More importantly, you did - not - speculate. I actually watched one creator spend 30+ minutes attempting to parse every frame of the vid.!

@@JPKelly-xr7tr Things like that just annoy me to much to watch them, Kerith’s whole channel annoys me. He makes 10 videos a week that I’d probably put in one video.

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 Well, to be honest, I had the phone on a stand and was working on my McClaren setup while I was listening! This brings up an interesting point: creator's motivation. Personally, I don't care if a creator uses YT as a 'job' as long as the information is valuable to me. That said, in my opinion, there are far too many YT creators in the sim racing ecosystem that simply pump out content for views / clicks and monetization. Their vids. are really about 'them' and how they present: the actual information is secondary and often counterfactual. Obviously, you're not one of them and your concern and enthusiasm for the hobby always comes through. I'm an 'old guy' and started sim racing with dial up modems and bulletin boards way before YT and social media took over. No, I don't want to go back to the 'good old days' but back then it was certainly easier to source out good information because the game companies released fairly polished product (infrequent patches, no DLC's) with excellent supplemental product. In the box was a printed book - a complete 'how to' and a whole printing industry developed publishing guide books. The business model was to produce a complete game with no expectation of additional patches to bring it up to spec. The casual new player looking to get into the hobby must be overwhelmed at this point. Keep up the excellent content!

Thanks again JP, always welcome your feedback. I certainly remember the days you would crack open a new game case and flick through the manual while the game loaded. I guess in some shape or another I've also been sim-racing since the days of PS1 and the very first iteration of Gran Turismo. Coming from the Old Sega Mega Drive the Ps 1 was mind blowing, and being unemployed at the time it launched I had no desire to find a job while living at home. But... Coming back to the issue at hand. Game creators, I don't think there will every be a time like back then. Games could never be finished or I doubt they would ever be released. There's just too much work goes into each game now... Well at least if it's worth it's salt. Lets just hope ACE lives up to all the hype.

Sounds like you've got plenty to keep you busy, let me know how you get on with the Moza when it arrives. 👍

100% no, the game quality wasn’t being questioned in this video. It was the lack of content being displayed. I think i speak for me than just myself when we were hoping to see a lot more details about the upcoming title but were left reading between the lines.

Typical straw man tactic. One does not have to be a game designer / developer in order to constructively criticize a game and or its components. A lack of constructive criticism / feedback stifles development.

Think you covered most of what i was hoping this video would be about. We didn’t want another polished look at rendered cut scenes we wanted to know so much more about the game its self.

I guess there wasn’t much for me either being on series X as I doubt very much my laptop will have the power needed to run the game well.

Glad it wasn’t just me..

A very different game no doubt but I’d certainly suggest checking out the video description for links to an online race league to have good races online with other like minded drivers.

@@KobeIsG.O.A.T There isn’t a hand brake in ACC. You’d never use it.

​@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3Ahh that's true. Thanks. The keyboard thing didn't work for me though. Trying it right now

​​@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3you plug it into the USB port in the back right? Does it matter which one because the computer is responding and I can move in the game with it etc. When do u press F2

​@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3maybe cause I'm on controller right now that it's not working

@@KobeIsG.O.A.T This is a very old video using a very different version of the game. A lot of the functions initially available in this video don’t exist any more on Xbox but I still use the keyboard to stop and start the engine but that’s about it.

@@shanebembridge8915 I can’t quite remember the numbering but I’ve very recently updated my firmware to the latest version and everything feels pretty good. The only issue I’m having is with my V2 McLaren rim but I’m currently in talks with Fanatec to get this repaired.

@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 Thanks for replying buddy. I've just managed to get the 451 firmware on it and it seems to be working better now. On the latest firmware it was telling me to put on it would just cut all power soon as I try giving it the beans. Thanks

You’re welcome buddy 👍🏼

@@mowglippml I’ll try and remember this, cheers man 🙏

Yep… but I think I’ve found an answer 😉😉

@@Andybarney555 try slightly lowering the preload to increase rotation on corner entry and move the brake bias slightly rearward. It might help 👍🏼

@@ETR_Unicorn Maybe something I’ll iron out before my next XCL race 👍🏼 thanks for the comment 🙏

Its not. Hes right. Audio makes it look like braking where it would not stop... 1000s laps here

@@martexl yeah fingers crossed someone gets back to me soon about the repair. Thankfully mines still under the 2 year warranty.

2yrs? I thought it was 1yr, I've sent a ticket to fanatec too now coz mine was bought Feb 23

Yep, it’s a 2 year warranty 👍🏼

Hi, ive had a reply and they recon it's a firmware problem but dunno when an update will be released. I've had the prob for 6mths now n out of warranty in Feb 25

@martexl I’ve started a new ticket after hearing nothing back again for a week. I can’t really do anything about the firmware and I know it’s not a firmware issue. When my problem first started on an old firmware I thought the solution might be installing a new firmware. After installing the latest firmware I went on to game for a few hours. Turned off the Xbox and the next day I came back and the wheel wouldn’t go into Xbox mode no matter what I tried. Switched the usb into my pc and opened the Fanatec software and it showed no wheel was present on my rig. I couldn’t even flash the firmware with an old version I had because it doesn’t even recognise the wheel is there now. Now it’s a waiting game to see if they respond again. You could search through the Fanatec chat lobby and see if there are some older drivers to manually flash the firmware.

On my Fanatec wheel I have the road effects to off but I know someone else with the DD wheel has his set to 30 road effects. And gain at 65.

Cheers JP, as always, thanks for the comment. Do you also race in the XCL lobbies ?

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 No, not XCL but I race in two different leagues. Re multi-class: it is a contentious issue but it is the responsibility of the higher class car to perform the safe overtake. The lower class car should hold their line (i.e., not block) but they should not have to get offline simply to let the higher class car pass.

@@JPKelly-xr7tr I agree, they should stay on the racing line for sure. It’s just unfortunate if you catch them in a bad spot to overtake.
