Weird, I ride 100% 1P with head tracking/helmet cam and not had any problems

but you have view mode=1 set in ....\Documents\PiBoSo\GP Bikes\profiles\youreprofilename.ini  or you use the default 1p view ?

One other thing though, not sure if it was present before, but between 15-25 mph, the bike and scenery shakes a bit

What view mode are u using?

In case u using view mode=1 (which is the best one in my opinion) happens in all tracks even victoria, some tracks more than others but still there.

.... Because of that a race is not only a hotlapping competition...
My experiance with other racing simuations/games are: People grow accustomed easy at such things. The longer people have this unrealistic "advantage" the difficulter is it to cut from it.

True

I must say sometimes I don't say Hello. As I said at other place(s) I'm very destrictable. ......
I thought: Maybe other riders are equal to me. So sometimes I say hello, sometimes not. I'm ambivalent. At least it's not disrespect.

Thats totally understandable and riders know this.  You can reply when you get back to pit whithout being disrespectful.

If I read a chat message I'm crashing with high confidence in the next corner.

hahaha yes  , also trying to reply while on track lol.
GPB has chat reply custom messages mapped to keyboard keys, so its a matter of a keyboard click if you want.

To quit in an official race I find absolutely unsportic

Thats the point

Anyway as we speak about realism I do not understan that we mention this and still play using chase cam.

I neither understand it

I know there are some fast players who ride onboard and some chase cam players who can be fast in onboard too but one of the reasons I often collide with other players is that I almost never see them until someone shows his front wheel. Also I had some cases that someone was overthaking me the opponent bike almost took me over but I just noticed it in the moment of contact and it was just a few simple polygons. 

I learnt this by ear. Using headphones you get used to how close of far , left or right, the other rider is due the sound of it.
To get used to it, look back when you can , not risking to crash, and roughly check the distance he is for the volume you hear.
I remember to think 'omg he is right behind me!' and when i looked back he was at 10 or 15 m.
When you hear that sound even closer and start moving to one side of your headphones, you know he is trying to show his front wheel. A split of a second look back will ensure if this is the case, and slowly will grow in you a natural situational awareness without even need to look back.

Other thing is , if the opponent is there ,.... is there,.. trying to close him not to let him pass will most times cause a crash.

Yeah man, nice future to expect 

True Max, that must be a big part of the problem

First thing to do to be fairplay online:
SAY HELLO, HI, HOLA, CIAO, SALUT, KONICHIUA(sry for spelling).
It's easy and very simple for every people who can use a keyboard.
Thank you

Yes Janau, thats the first step indeed.
Second step is to finish the race.
Third is to finish the championship.


I haven't seen yet, in ...don't know ..8 years? , a race that finish with the same number of riders that were in the grid at start.
Not to mention the euphoria the first race of a championship with, lets say 14 riders, and finish the championship with 3 riders.

Discusing a method of penalyzing a rider for crashing into others is a bit useless. Most of those riders crash into you at first corner, makes you lose 20 secs, and they disconnect in lap 3 because they aren't winning the race.
Do you really think punishing a rider with 10 or 20 secs will make any difference?

Is all a matter of respect, respect is something that we can't teach in a forum. Respect is something you learn during your life, and something your parents teach you.
Respect is finishing a race even if you are the last one of the pack 40 secs behind. Respect is finishing a championship you signed in, so organizers doesn't feel like idiots doing a hard work for others to have fun.

So we only need mature riders, not a punishing system. Shit happenz and even mature and respectful riders crash into others, but in those cases the first thing you see in the screen is :  I'm sorry ! , and in many cases the culprit of the crash waits for the 'victim' to recover and let them pass. This is not necesary but shows others what respect means.

Didn't check the source but somewhere one was saying the short was redered by a whopping 150,000$ GPU so we still have to wait a bit for that to come to our desktops

Yep. (don't know if 150000, but an unpayable one, for sure) So we need to wait until GPUs are capable of such a task at a reasonable price.

You haven't been mining those "Bitcoins" have you Bob!? Lol! 

LOL 

Yeah it was just a joke post. Lol! As I'm sure you realised from your response. Hehe! Just my humour and not everyone will get it, I'm sure. Lol!

At first i thought you was serious, but then realized a two stroker can't be serious posting that lol 

OMG!  Hawk ! 

Ok few masterpieces from 'your century'
