How is the server going to purposely disconnect you? The internet is probably busier on a sunday, you need to investigate your local traffic flow, packet loss and house internet usage. Check your router logs.
It could be windows trying to do updates or any other program contributing to traffic.

Bit of a strange race, seemed to just inherit 2nd in the end as others fell off and though was slowly gaining on Toni couldnt really do anything until falling off on the last lap trying too hard.
Shame a few had issues in joining last night, seeing Bob stationary and then disappearing and then the guys behind hitting each other was a shame.
First race in my new rig, so was stressful enough sat in that and not at my desk which i've used for 20+ years!
what setup is your new rig? |

what setup is your new rig? Trak Racer TR80 with my existing triple screens. They are now positioned alot nearer to me than before so it really fills the view. I was stuck trying to work out how to upgrade from my existing G27 pedals (purely for the inbuilt carpet grip) as i'm still pretty happy with my T300 wheel. Always dreamed of going full-on rig but seating position is a bit different |

Peculiar that this disco only happens the instant the race starts, happened 4 times now more than a coincidence, my internet connection is solid at present no problems, I'm baffled.

I am by no means an IT expert but it might be linked to windows updates. I went through a phase of taking about 20 mins to log onto the AC server sùccesfully (the game would screw up my g27 settings and only give me 180' of rotation). This lasted for a couple of months then mysteriously stopped. The g27 drivers have not been updated for years so it wasnt linked to that |

Always dreamed of going full-on rig but seating position is a bit different I can recommend 'truebrake' for g27 brake pedal, fitted one to mine and find trail braking a lot easier. Before that i had a 'GT-EYE' spring in the brake which was also a lot better than the standard spring |

I think i still have the original mod, bought from someone in australia i think... basically a block of rubber. It work ok and for braking on the limit felt great, and helped build up my other leg muscle! But ultimatley i was slower with it.
Becuase of the resistance of the pedal it takes longer to get to peak braking, more often i wasnt braking hard enough and was braking for longer. With alot of sims not properly simulating brake cooling, ducting etc or the process of braking i found i needed to fine tune it all but wasnt happy. Braking using my left leg just isnt the same as my right in real life.
I know its not 'realistic' but i prefer being able jump on the brakes and modulate coming off. But I've still not really tried out loadcell..
