If you have an issue report it, don't assume it'll be fixed, we're not children here.
If I type something ("Hi" or "Anybody got a setup?") and then get in car, my keys no longer work. I hit "ESC" but nothing happens. To get back to pits I have to Crtl+Alt+Delete to bring up the task manager, kill the game, then try to get back in. And when I try to get back in, I get "race cancelled" or "steam updating" and then AC starts up, outside CM, so I then have to get into task manager, kill AC, get back in via CM and then, my wheel calibration and settings are gone so I'm back at 900 degrees of wheel rotation (or is it 920?) so I can't turn very much without letting go of the wheel and doing the 'push-pull' or hand over hand. Once I'm back in, then I can adjust my setups so it's not unusual that I'm in and out for each setting adjustment.
I do not have a clutch setup on my pedals. There is the 3rd pedal but the middle pedal is so close to the throttle that if I use it as a brake, I crush my nuts, so I use the 'clutch' as my brake. I have yet to find a button option in AC (is there one?) so I have to start in gear and slowly, very, very slowly accelerate. Once I'm in a crash, I again have to get going by putting it in gear and waiting for the RPMs to get up enough to get the car going (so starts are murder).
I couldn't tell the difference between the cockpit view and dash view since the F1 will change from one to the other with no way to tell them apart. I hit the 'reset view' to get the driver's eye view but then had to get out, turn on the wheel (thx Blitz!), find out which was which, then get back in with that view selected. Again, having to "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" to get the game to shut down since my keys no longer work once I'm in game. So, I won't be saying "hi" or typing in game, it's not that I'm ignoring people, my keys just quit working.
If I'm having issues, starting from the pits, whatever, don't wait/restart for me!
Last night, I left after getting lapped before the half way point not only because I got lapped before the half way point and had NOTHING as far as speed (thx for the setup, Mike. Got it too late to try it but will try it as a base next time!), but because the Avs were on TV, which doesn't happen often since I have DISH, which doesn't carry local teams (used to be I could every game but haven't seen much of them, except the playoffs, ever since Denver became a 'big city').
How can children fix issues they don't know about?
Have fun!!! :-D
