Took a little longer than I hoped, and way more stressful than I expected, but I've done a thing.

[Thomas Jacobs @Tomjakes]

I've been using 3ds max for around 16 years now, decided it was time to give @Blender a proper go.
Textures done it both @Substance3D Painter and Designer.

For F1 24 I worked on parts for the @HaasF1Team car, specifically the rear end, suspension/wheel hubs, and wing mirrors. For the rest of the F1 cars I did assist with bringing them to game and making sure they as bug free as possible. https://t.co/uxjdFCxSR6

Yeah I questioning how I managed to do it as well #Helldivers2

[Thomas Jacobs @Tomjakes]

@BenOnWheelss Well Space Marine 2 is out later this year, that's got 3 player co-op I hear.

[Thomas Jacobs @Tomjakes]

Bought the patrol pack back at the start of the year, finally gotten around to painting them. 1 down, another 20 or so to go.

[Thomas Jacobs @Tomjakes]

@BenOnWheelss @JensonButton Yeah, along with the reduced practice it doesn't allow any teams to try out new parts/setup adjustment. I think parc ferme between quali and race (2 events) is fine, but not for the entire sprint weekend (4 events).

[Thomas Jacobs @Tomjakes]

@BenOnWheelss @JensonButton What if they changed sprint quali to Friday and sprint race to sat morning, then unlock parc ferme between the sprint race and main quali (sat evening)? Would mean teams could apply what they learned from the sprint and apply it for the main race making it a bit more interesting?

@_aarava For a yearly title it's not really feasible to transfer to another game engine unless it provides a substantial benefit; it takes years of work to transition art, code, physics and tools over onto the new one. It's not just plug and play like some may suggest.

[Thomas Jacobs @Tomjakes]

@scott_berrys4d I did feel a difference between gear and belt driven wheels (g28 to club sport), but never got a direct drive.

I think it's more important to get familiar/comfortable with a wheel instead of buying the best. A bad driver with the best equipment is still a bad driver.

[Thomas Jacobs @Tomjakes]

Sim racing was better when everyone treated it as just a hobby.

[Thomas Jacobs @Tomjakes]

Just watched the F1 highlights.
I'm no strategist, but I think they should have pitted sainz after max got past. You're never going to win against red bull on the same strategy, your only chance is to do something different. At least it would have made red bull think.

[Thomas Jacobs @Tomjakes]

@MrOW_CS If anyone is to blame for letting down the country it's Rishi and the royal family for not being there to support the team. (In my opinion anyway)

[Thomas Jacobs @Tomjakes]

@TraxionGG Not sure if this is what you mean, but for me prize money ruined sim racing. Turned it from a hobby into more of a business and brought out the worst in some drivers.

[Thomas Jacobs @Tomjakes]

@RWSimRacing @FinnSim @iRacing Man this is still in the development stage? I remember the screenshots they released of it (somewhat) functional way back when I was still racing, and I retired from sim racing around 18 months ago.
