Dirt Rally supports H shifter and clutch, but there is something weird about it that causes me to mis-shift and it leaves it in neutral until you change back to neutral, then put it back to the gear you want. Think I'll stick to sequential for more control and less lost time, since there doesn't seem to be any restrictions for league play.

The entire concept of Rally is just dumb- but it's dumb in a way that makes me want to play it as a game. Take it seriously as a game. Because gently caress I'd never touch this, or be a spectator of it, in real life. But for a game, it's quite possibly everything you could ask for.

bUm posted:Did you turn on some assists? I managed the 1960's cars fine without TC and SC, but the 1970's cars necessitated turning them on to stop spinning out constantly because the trigger doesn't have fine-enough throttle control to feather it easily. I settled in with both at 3 and both RWD classes are plenty manageable (I occasionally still spin, but usually it's with the help of bumps/walls/ridges instead of just too much power at the rear). All assists are on max... I figured out it was linearity that was messing me up so that's on zero and sensitivity is on 45. I also didn't realise recovery costs a 15 second penalty because I play with HUD off. Here I come todays league!

Just to be clear, repairing your car is a direct addition to your placed race times? Or can you do as much as you can fit in 30 minutes without any penalty to the standings?

if you choose repairs that take longer than 30 minutes total, it tells you how much time you'll be penalized. I usually just press the "crew recommendation" button.

You have a 30 minute service available. Anything over that 30 minutes is penalty time and added to your overall.

I finished Syrup Canyon (maple valley) for rFactor 2 and Assetto Corsa today. It looks like poo poo, but it feels good. It's a little bumpy, I did what I could. It's my first track and I wasn't concerned with making things look nice. rFactor (52 MB) rFactor 2 (69 MB) Assetto Corsa (70 MB)

I was never a fan of the DiRT games, but you guys have convinced me to throw money at it. Stupid fun, even though I keep flying off mountains and barrel-rolling to my death. Also, joined the league. Need to see how my terribleness competes.

If you don't want to do that you can save and quit and you'll get dumped out to the main menu and you can restart the championship event by picking 'resume'. Oh I know about the online event thing, missed a daily because I paused at the very start of a stage, figured "eh I'll do this after work instead" and shut it off. Couldn't restart, and I understand that. But actually having negative career progress in career sucks

Digging through the Steam Discussion I learned a thing: a Dev confirmed that, despite what the UI says, cars in Custom Events do not have upgrades and perform according to vehicle unlocks in career. This further opens the discussion that this might also be the case in Leagues/Online Daily (which the original question did not ask about and the Dev hasn't confirmed/denied). Just figured I'd give everyone a heads up that you're getting drastically reduced specs than what is showing (look at the specs in career if you want to know what you're actually using). Bought the Group B Peugeot yesterday and, by default, it actually weighs like 2200-some and only has like 374 (?) HP, not 480 HP. Endymion FRS MK1 posted:edit: Wow, you can't quit an event.

bUm posted:Pretty sure the current Career Events function as: goes up a difficulty level if you're in the top 3 at the end of the previous and goes down a level if you aren't. I kind of wish it didn't and just gave you a choice: I've managed to maintain top three and am now in Elite. Every difficulty increase adds two more stages so I am now going through every rally with ten stages and am trapped in the same car and on the same rally for a really long time. I just got to masters myself, 12 stages per event x 3 events is a bit much. Easily 3.5 hours of driving Edit: just found out that if you place in the bottom 3, you get demoted. So you can abandon championships over and over to go back to Open if you'd like New Zealand can eat me fucked around with this message at 02:39 on May 5, 2015 |

I could give you all a self esteem boost by joining in on the Dirt Rally fun. Still sort of between Dirt Rally and Stock Car Extreme for me. Project cars doesn't look that interesting beyond the graphics. But it is out soon so I'll wait and see what people say about that. Haven't heard much about it, compared to Stock Car Extreme which I keep hearing good things about.

Nailed the first stage to get myself a nice safety net  I find it amazing how many people are able to do well in Dirt Rally with a controller, I don't think I could even finish a shakedown using one. Even with a wheel I struggle to be as precise as I'd like.Torabi posted:I could give you all a self esteem boost by joining in on the Dirt Rally fun.

Haven't heard much about it, compared to Stock Car Extreme which I keep hearing good things about. Stock Car Extreme is fantastic as a sim and is really the only game where the AI can provide proper racing. Plus it has the CART 98 mod which is perfection. The trick is to buy both!

It's still pretty enjoyable on AC.

I seem to be at the place in my ability where I need to start confronting my fear of not finishing a race to get better times. Thinking of spending an hour or so on custom events each day just trying to get used to flying as fast as possible instead of playing it safe and working up.

Do you have other mod tracks in the my documents area? if so I'll look into why it's not working.

Munko posted:Nailed the first stage to get myself a nice safety net I think a big part of the time loss (between goon league and running my elite career event Monte Carlo afterwards) is that TC/SC is murdering ability to get through the ice covered areas since they prevent acceleration until straightening out while you with wheel (and presumably assists off?) can power through without assists repeatedly slowing you to sub-30MPH on the ice. Does anyone else feel this might be the case? If so I will probably resort to switching my assist settings (feel good on the other rallies and tarmac areas) for ice sections in the future. Dirt Rally seems like it'd still be pretty intense even with a wheel, but that's not in the cards at the moment so I get extra hard mode.

The last Dirty Goons season made me fall in love with the E30. That's definitely my favorite car in the game so far. I played around with some of the replay stuff and edited together my third stage. I think I had the fastest goon time on that stage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loARpNONGag

I didn't have time to participate in the latest goon rally. Could the goon rallies possibly be open for longer than 2 days? Edit: Nevermind! Seen the new rally is similar and open for slightly longer. Still, is it possible to post them for any longer? I dunno if the thread prefers these constant rallies or not, I know atleast one goon prefers it as is so.  Also, if anyone wants to take a quick break from Dirt Rally, that Ferrari 288 mod for AC finally rereleased as 2.0, with brand new physics!
