So will existing customers get a steam version?

I finally set some proper FOV settings in my sims last night. But that meant not being able to see the dash through the wheel anymore. Enter Nexus4, a piece of steel, and some velcro.



I pretty much did the same thing a few weeks ago although I can't stand the 'real fov' so I backed it out like 7 degrees. Oh and I also use a Nexus 7.

You know where you are? You're in the suburbs, baby. You're gonna drive.

Is it wrong that I want the DashMeter Pro dev to release a version of the app for ETS2 even though it is not a racing sim?

There's been talk of Driveclub a bit. I know it's not a PC Sim, but as a fresh PS4 owner since christmas, can anyone tell me if it's worth picking up, at all? Sometimes a racer that's not a sperg-caliber sim is nice brain candy.

Sorry nope. Sony changed how hardware works by requiring an actual chip for peripherals to connect. It's very unlikely that they'll mod old gen stuff to work.

I asked in the iRacing thread so I figured I'd ask here. I got the Porsche GT2 wheel and shifters, the silver-handled ones. They're very clicky which is nice, but LOUD. Anyone try anything to quiet them? Or are there shifters on the market that aren't so loud?

1sale.com has a steel series srw1 simraceway wheel for edit: 49 bux if anyone was looking for one

On its own it probably sucks.. mounted to a g27/25 its probably a decent f1 wheel with lots o buttons.

My local BestBuy has it for 69$

I desperately want to make it work for my new wheel. But it's hollow plastic and breaks easily with force.

(I really want clutch paddles. And the SRW has pretty nifty throttle/brake paddles)

I stopped playing other racing games so I could focus on iracing. This way I can get used to one car and how it handles without getting "confused" with other cars from other games.

open wheel racing i'd personally have to point you towards game stock car extreme, it has a formula vee up to formula v12 plus goddamn superkarts are coming out soon in a patch and goddamnit game stock car extreme is a really good game in my opinion, especially if you plan on doing single player orientated stuff.

I'm having some issues finding the right settings for my G27 with Asseto Corsa. I followed one of the higher rated setup guides that's currently on steam. The settings feel so diffrent than the defaults.

I've never driven a car so I can't make any comparisons.

Anyone have a good setup I can try out?

Agreed. Got it when it showed up on Steam yesterday and it's really loving good. Anybody looking for offline RACING needs to give it a try.

I mainly play iRacing but I also own Assetto Corsa. I enjoy racing games because of the online racing that something like iRacing offers. AC's offline racing doesn't really do it for me, is Game Stock Car worth a go if you already own AC? Seems like it has nice open wheel stuff, more than AC and I would like a nice racer for offline racing.

I prefer the driving in Assetto Corsa to anything else I tried but racing the AI is a terrible experience (I really hope 1.1 brings the promised improvements). Stock Car's offline racing is great.

Psy890 posted:

Ah yes. Should've been more specific, looking for a better offline experience. I do all of my online racing in iRacing, I like the SR system and whatnot. I kept getting rammed in AC. Not that everybody playing is ramming or anything but I like the matchmaking and stuff in iRacing.

Gonna try the demo for stock car extreme again. Last time it kept crashing but it turns out you need to run it as an admin or something.

Edit:

Stock car extreme doesn't control right for me. Force feedback set to 100% (for some reason defaults to -100%?) causes my wheel to always want to go 900 degrees in the direction I'm only slightly turning.

Edit again:

God drat, I can't drive for poo poo in this game. iRacing, for whatever reason, is much more forgiving when it comes to switching gears manually with a clutch at low speeds.

Well then, I feel stupid now. But at the same time, why the gently caress is -100% the default setting. I took it down to +50% and started playing, wasn't as bad then. But maybe that's why I had such a hard time driving in a straight line. :v:

I think a lot of wheels need negative values with gMotor games. My Fanatec does too.

Every time I watch a pCars video my impression is that it's what Codemasters would be doing today if they evolved the original TOCA series instead of going full arcade. It just has that vibe for me, idk.
