Every pCars video I seem to catch features open-wheelers murdering high kerbs like they aren't there to the extent that I want to shout "BULLSHIT SON YOU SHOULD BE DEAD IN THE WALL" out loud at the screen.

^^^ Eh, the people making these videos are tweaking the setups like hell and then give it as many tries they need for their stupid action shot. Bumpy curbs aren't your friend in this game.Torabi posted:That looks amazing but wasn't pCars going to be a bit more arcadey?

pCARS definitely became more arcadey. They totally removed their damage model.

I bought Pcars on Steam, can you pre load it because it isn't downloading for me, if not it's cool.

Torabi posted:That looks amazing but wasn't pCars going to be a bit more arcadey? Nothing wrong with that but that's what I have heard at least. Not tried it myself. Nah, it's very realistic but I feel like this is a pointless debate because it always just goes around in circles no matter the racing sim. We've done this exact debate for every major PC racing sim.

Not a sim game by any stretch but has anyone tried the new Carmageddon game? How does it play with a wheel?

I will say it seems to be kinda buggy still because I played a game yesterday and it crashed back to the desktop after showing me the results screen. Until then it was great fun.

I'm disappointed that I seem to like the driving a lot more in Asseto Corsa over iRacing. The online stuff in iRacing looks great. And the oval racing is sparking an intrest with me since I started watching 94 cart racing, and saw a couple really good NASCAR races for the first time in my life. I'd also like to thank the folks who recommended game stock car extreme. When I get my wheel working right in that game, it's great. It doesn't seem to auto lock wheel rotations for diffrent rides, or something is really wrong with my settings. The supercarts in game stock car extreme are crazy.

GSC is fun for its track variety and how much more normal the AI is compared to other games. I need to finish assigning buttons in it because I hate it when my car stalls out and it says to either disengage the clutch or put it in N. The clutch method never works so maybe I need some assignment trickery. They have improved the sounds in the Steam version and added those nice karts and DP style cars which are a blast. Too bad there's not a lot of active servers because it's a lot of fun.

Is the pseye worth picking up for the notrackir or is it a novelty that I'd probably only use for a day? Thinking of getting it for some racing games and ets2.

Yeah, I hate using trackir in driving/racing games. It actually makes my physically ill to do so. Flying games? gently caress yeah!

Raceroom feels really nice on a PS4 controller. There was a graphics option that absolutely tanked my frame rate. Took me a while to figure out it was the car reflections setting.

I had a TrackIR 5 and hated having to wear a hat or some poo poo on my headset to get the infrared to pick up. Also I got consistent neck pain from not even realizing that I was keeping my head super still so my view wouldn't wobble like crazy. hth I'm legit F5'ing Steam daily hoping that I can mysteriously get access to my copy of PCars early (I know it won't happen), and driving the rFactor2 demo for kicks in the time being. I gotta try this Raceroom now since yall are saying it's cool, thanks for mentioning it.

Alright I've put in a few more hours into Raceroom. I've driven mostly the McLaren 12C GT3 and the GTR GT3 on Brands Hatch using a PS4 controller. I think it plays better than Assetto Corsa. The cars are a touch more predictable when they're kept in line and when poo poo goes wrong, it's pretty obvious why. That's not to say it's easy. I'm getting close to stringing a good lap together with the GTR. The car is a monster that'll put you into the wall for a slight mistake. Anyway, Raceroom runs at a locked 60 with everything cranked up (minus car reflections--seems bugged) on an i5-4690K and a GTX 970. Controls are extremely configurable on the gamepad. Really happy with it so far. I don't think I'll be touching AC for a while. I'll give the AI a go later on in the week. I mostly stick with time trials. edit: Oh, the sound is incredible. bloops fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Feb 17, 2015 |

Holy poo poo rFactor 2 updated its rain physics with standing water and an early version of aquaplaning - once I get some time this week I've gotta try this poo poo out. Updated tire physics also! info here.

I think I'll give Raceroom another try, but last time I checked the cars just felt weird and there was nothing between grip and no grip. Just okay okay okay okay YOU'RE GONE.

Crosspostin' from the Forza 5 thread: If anyone wants to buy my preorder for the Basherboads CPX adapter, for $10 you can have the preorder code and the product is now available to redeem. (It's another $35 + shipping.) If not, the guy will refund my $10 and give it to the next dude in line, but since I waited since August for this I figured I'd let someone here have a chance at it before I ask for a refund. This allows you to use Fanatec pedals with Thrustmaster wheels. http://www.basherboards.com/CPX Send me a PM or whatever.

I've been trying the Peyregrosse-Mandagout track and now I really miss a "reset to track" option in Assetto Corsa. Also that mod might not have the highest res textures but in terms of attention to detail and just overall look it puts Kunos' Trento to shame. And while we're on the subject of Trento, are there any improvements planned or is that really supposed to be 1.0?

I've been thinking the OP is a bit outdated, too wordy (imo) on some games while not at all mentioning others, so I've been working on something short and concise along these lines:quote:----------- WHAT IS SIM RACING? ----------- What do you think?

Looks good so far to me. GPL should probably be in the old sims section, as well as RBR with RSRBR. Rfactor 1 might be worth a mention too since it got greenlit. I might make an effortpost in the new thread currating some of the most notable content mods for AC, since mods are really what AC is all about. The 288 GTO project got removed by Kunos. The guy making it had a couple people helping him with the physics, but turns out that for a basis he decrypted Kunos' F40 files, which is a violation of their copyright. This is a pretty big blow to what was a promising project. He's still allowed to continue the project, he just needs someone to step up to the plate to develop the physics from scratch before he can release anything again.

And while we're on the subject of Trento, are there any improvements planned or is that really supposed to be 1.0? I think Trento is pretty much 1.0, and I get the impression that Kunos doesn't care much about non-circuit tracks. However the recently leaked 1.1 patch notes do have timing support for point-to-point tracks added, as well as 4WD support. I thought about making some basic ease of life "cheat" apps for AC, since the ingame apps just use python. Things like reset to track, a simple teleporter (for retrying specific corners), and specifically for me a more detailed engine/wheel damage display, since I'm so terrible. I'm not sure how extensive the API for the game is though, and I'd need some more freetime before I could look into it. Jehde fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Feb 24, 2015 |

What's this poo poo about track accuracy with PCARS? People have been picking their poo poo apart over the development of these, and SMS has kept fixing these issues. Is it because it's not laser scanned?
