- No TrackIR and 0% G-Force Simulation: 100% Camera locked to car, car steady, world moves. 50% Camera still locked to car, car steady, world moves but less I guess. 0% same as sefore, world steady, car moves, but camera must be fixed to something (I previously said 0% = lock to horizon so maybe it's that). | |||

Plans
Ideas
- File Downloads Hosting
- If you already pay for a cloud drive, like Google Drive, Office 365, Proton Drive, Dropbox, Mediafire, or Mega, just use that if you're an individual modder. They're unlikely to completely cancel a paying customer even if they realize you're using it for download sharing.
- We all use free Mediafire or Mega cloud drives to distribute our mods
- That tends to work fine because each person has their own account and for each modder there's a limited audience so not too much of a risk of going over the transfer limit (but I've seen it happen)
- You can pay $6-12/month to Mediafire or Mega and get more space and more transfer limit
- But it still leaves the problem that Mediafire and Mega aren't really intended to be used for downloads the way we use them
- Shared Web Hosting is one cheap option, if you're willing to pay, as you can use the webspace for downloads instead of a website
- Often very cheap pricing and generous storage and traffic limits
- Pay hosting often says "unlimited" storage and traffic but it's usually always limited in some way in the terms
- But it's still often quite a bit of space and transfer, ready to go for HTTPS downloads, and cheap
- IONOS Web Hosting Offers "unlimited" storage and traffic. Not very intuitive but once you get ftp setup and understand your web address it's easy.
- Inmotion Hosting Offers "unlimited" storage and traffic, too. I've used Inmotion before for dedicated servers and they were fine.
- DreamHost Shared Unlimited plan is cheap and has "unlimited" storage and traffic
- Popular but not unlimited:
- GoDaddy has cheap hosting which isn't unlimited but for a single modder it's an option.
- SiteGround - Cheap, limited storage, unlimited traffic
- Hostinger Web Hosting - Cheap prices, generous but not unlimited storage
- BlueHost Web Hosting - Cheap-ish prices, fair but not unlimited storage
- Tom's Guide - The best unlimited web hosting in 2024 - Find articles like this for the latest best deals
- Gotchas
- Limits in Terms
- Search Terms for "limits", "transfer", "traffic", "visits", "inodes" to find our what their limits really are
- Web hosts often limit storage by limiting "inodes"
- You can still host a tonne of files, like tens of thousands, maybe a hundred thousand, maybe 600,000 (as limited on Hostinger's Business Plan), but it's something to be aware of.
- Beware web hosting "apps" you can install. I installed MediaWiki at IONOS and it took up a huge portion of my inodes limit
- Limits in Terms
Scratched:
- Ambient and track temperatures do not go down overnight: Can I modify the weather file to make that work?
- Weather files are simply a progression of minutes without regard to time of day. It would require a higher-level change that would be able to look at what time-of-day the user chose in-game and then selecting from a file that starts-at-that-hour. It's possible but pretty involved.
