Modders have made versions of it for the Simbin games, Race 07/GTR 2 etc and it's most likely available for rFactor as everything is.

My googlefu is weak today, I can only find gp, national and international layouts for silverstone. I found a few posts with people asking for it on various forums but no downloads. Race 07 is super cheap at the moment so a track for that would be awesome but I looked through nogrip and the other places linked in this thread but no dice. The only game that seems to have it is Gran Turismo 6, which doesn't seem to be for PC.

Well, I've been having a ton of fun with Assetto Corsa and my new G27, until I tried out the McLaren in there. This stupid thing absolutely does not want to turn  I can handle the Zonda and F40 just fine with an auto and ABS as my only assists, but this thing is ridiculous. Am I doing something wrong?

Yep, did all that. It's only the McLaren that feels rear end. Just done driving the P4/5 on Imola and everything went smooth. But a McLaren at Silverstone? Ha! Seriously the P4/5 is fun as gently caress though.

I finally got AC for Christmas and now it just makes me want to get a wheel more. First thing I did though was load in this track and bruteforce through it until I could finally make it to the bottom. My replay is way messier than his, but I managed 7:07.4.

I honestly think Assetto feels better than iracing sometimes, at least running that road. Like a previous poster said, being able to correct a spin adds another element of fun.

Does anybody have anything bad to say about wheel stands in general? I've been eyeballing this for a week or two. I've got a G27 that effectively sits in its box because I can't be bothered unpacking it to connect to the table whenever I feel like using it. Getting something like this looks like it'll be easier to store when I'm not using it.

That McLaren needs a lot earlier and harder braking than the other cars, due to the weight and massive horsepower (I think it is the street version instead of the GT3 version, so it has massive horsepower and basically nothing else--like the Ruf RWD vs. Track in iRacing).

Since it has to replace a track they already have, they've pushed it to the back burner in order to work on tracks like Circuit of the Americas and Monza. Plus silverstone sucks anyway, so who cares.

This was the first one I started looking at, but I have a big enough desk to mount it on as well as slide it over when not playing (see my post a few pages back): http://www.wheelstandpro.com/products/wheel-stand-pro-for-logitech-g25g27-racing-wheel---deluxe Looks like it is a bit pricier than the one you linked, but it also looks like adjusting it is a bit easier since it is tension levers instead of allen wrench clasps. There's lots of Youtube reviews of the Wheel Stand Pros as well. I have no actual opinion of the product, however.

I don't know if I would say the physics and handling in AC is better than iRacing. To me it feels a little bit gamey, especially in throttle response coming out of corners. It's so easy to gently caress a corner up in iRacing with the new tyre models on certain cars, whereas I can go full pelt in AC without ever having to worry about losing control. To me they're two different games. iRacing is when I want to put my serious face on, AC will be for fun racing where I don't have to worry about SR and all that other tripe. Also to those who said the sub fee for iRacing isn't justified without ever playing it: It is. You pay them money to bring you extremely detailed tracks and cars whilst constantly pumping out major updates that improve the game in many significant ways. iRacing 2 years ago pales in comparison to how it is at present. You also don't just jump in the boat and buy everything at once. You really do need to master the types of cars (like getting to grips with the Skip before moving to the Star Mazda and beyond, or reeling in the CTS before making the jump to the V8 Ford) before progressing to another series, and that's what the licences encourage, but loads of people focus on their SR to bypass this and it tends to end up with poo poo races. Concentrate on iRating so you don't get left in shithouse splits with people that can't drive. Otherwise it will become frustrating in races. The MX-5 races are the most crash prone races on the service. iRacing is the sort of sim where you actually DO have to practice, and I can see that being too much of a time investment for a lot of people. If you enjoy oval/NASCAR type races, then nothing beats iRacing. Diet Crack fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Jan 2, 2014 |

It's not, it's just difficult because it tries it's best to mimic reality, which I enjoy because I like racing real cars too. To me it's a bona fide sim and the best way I can make an analogy outside of racing is by comparing FSX to X-plane. They're two different beasts that offer a somewhat different level of fun depending on how you like to approach racing. Much like Richard Burns Rally is to Colin McRae titles.

There are some aspects of iRacing that are difficult for no reason. The tires are a little bit too slick and the rear tires will slide out from under you way too easily. You get used to it though. The tire model the have isn't the best as it is impossible to trail brake with it. You can only use traction in one direction pretty much. You can get on the brakes and turn the wheel and you'll keep going perfectly straight. Step off the brakes and you magically start turning. This makes some cars impossible to drive the way they are supposed to be driven. It's fun though. I don't think there's any other sim out there that can put you with a group of people in your skill level almost any hour of the day. And even if you don't like NASCAR, oval racing is actually pretty fun when you're doing it.

Anyone have any tips for playing Race 07 with a gamepad? Yeah, yeah, I should get a wheel, but that poo poo's expensive. It supports the Xbox 360 controller, but steering is incredibly twitchy and my dude jerks the wheel all the way to the right or left at the slightest nudge of the stick. What should I set all the deadzone/sensitivity sliders to for smooth steering?

I have general sensitivity at 0%, speed sensitivity at 75% and steering deadzone at 16%. I think the three analogue sectors are at default, 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2. Works pretty well for me but you do have to be pretty precise with small movements on the analogue stick. edit: also lowering the steering lock in the car-setup can help a lot (well with the cars that let you adjust the lock)

Story time! I was having trouble figuring out what would be a good way to start learning how to actually race sim cars because I am horrible at it, so I popped in the irc channel and tehsid recommended using the standard WTCC '07 cars on Monza as it has many different corner types that typify what one might see on any other track. As I drive a Honda in real life, I started out with the '07 Accord and got started in Practice mode to start hot lapping it. I think I put in about 3 hours and went from putting it into the wall at least once a lap to being able to consistently post between 2:00 and 2:20 lap times. And just to start getting into the idea of having other cars on the tracks, I played a couple of race events against cars (which by default start at 80% skill). The first race I did not finish. The second race I came in first... mostly because if you can just survive, you'll eventually pass 25 80% cars without any challenge at all. I then tried out the BMW and found I really hate 5 speeds that don't have an auto-clutch. I need to try out the other cars in the class now. Some points:
Watch the iRacing Driving School videos then start playing Race '07 on a popular track with cars that aren't stupidly powerful nor stupidly under powered and practice the stuff mentioned in the videos.

I really can't justify a fancy wheel right now. I can justify 25 bucks on this, though. http://winnipeg.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell-computer-accessories-other-Logitech-Formula-Racing-Wheel-W0QQAdIdZ555158965 My only question is would this even be an improvement over a 360 pad?

I strongly recommend the caterhams around zandvroot. As for newbie advice 1. Always look as far ahead as possible, lowering your field of view will help with this. 2. To go fast you must first go slow enough to stay on the track. 3. read this: http://www.drivingfast.net/car-control/weight-transfers.htm In your mind picture a box with springs on each corner and wheels at the end of the springs. This is the "engineering model" you need to have in your head. That box behaves 99% like a real car. Also know how springs and dampers behave (See: Harmonic Oscillator) because they tell you how much grip each wheel has. More compressed spring = more grip. Repeat after me: How far a spring is compressed is exactly equal to how much grip that wheel has (given a constant surface). This is how you tune suspension too, the damping coefficient directs how fast the springs can react. For example, I generally like to have low damping on the front end of a car. This means that the front end will "fall faster", throwing grip up in front more quickly. It will turn better and when already in a turn it will be easier to push the nose up and down to help control the line of the car on throttle only. I like to be able to keep the steering wheel at a constant angle and be able to change the radius of the turn by throttle alone. Low damping on the front end maximizes this effect. Caterhams demonstrate this effect very well.

Awesome stuff! Yeah, the imaginary box with springs concept is the main thing that clicked for me last night (when I suddenly just stopped going off the track at every corner that needed breaking), but that page clears up a few things I wasn't total groking. I also did the lowering of the FOV last night as well. With my monitor arms I can get the screen only 28 inches away from my face (coupled with TrackIR), which lets me drop the FOV down to like 60. Everything feels very slow (which is a good thing, since you are dealing with reaction times for this situation). So outside of trying to get together Goon Games and dropping hundreds of bucks playing iRacing, what do the rest of you do for your multiplayer fix? Any particular forums or leagues or whatever you would recommend?

I don't have a wheel, so I'd be using a pad which seems like a shame :/. But I wonder if it would be better to do iRacing or just fall back to single player in Race '07? (I have most of the add-ons for it when I bought some SimBin mega bundle a ways back).

If you don't have a wheel now but plan on getting one later, wait until you have a wheel before you try iRacing. If you don't have a wheel and try iRacing, you will end up buying a wheel.
