Mine show up literally immediately. Like, I'll hit a best time, then fly off turn 1 because I was squinting to see my lap time in that tiny loving window. Then I'll quit out and my leaderboard time is already up and I can pick that lap as a ghost and jump right back in.

Baggins posted:Ugh, I'm tiring of the same damned track rotation in almost every series and invitational event. Outlon, Snetterton, Donington, Brands Hatch.... There are a lot of other tracks in the game, why not use those too? I've yet to see Monza, Monaco, any track in the US that isn't bloody Sonoma, I've been to Hockenheim and the Nurburgring exactly once... It's also getting a bit on my nerves, but that's more because Outlon and Brands Hatch were designed by masochists that think it's fun (and it is, in a way) to have rolling hills, off-camber bends, and slight turns into sharp turns that make keeping control, especially in a RWD hypercar like the McLaren F1, a pain in the rear end. To add icing to the cake, many turns (on the layouts I've been put on anyway) don't have signs so you have to do brake points based on track features alone (guess the hilliness becomes a perk for finding a braking point based on road ripples). That said, the invitationals as my second season is getting underway seems to have had much more variety, dropping me in mainland Europe and Dubai a fair bit.

Oulton Park is especially horrible. I was in a two race series with the BAC Mono, Ariel Atom and whatever the equivalent Caterham was. I failed horribly at Oulton, and the car wasn't helping. The Mono is so stupidly bad.

Holy poo poo LOL, the default settings for the Xbone's controller (on Xbone) are ludicrous bad and make driving a road car in a straight line at 35 mph a physical impossibility.

ethanol posted:it gets better gently caress around with it On this note I just found a Steam guide on controller settings, copied its numbers into my game and suddenly the GT5 car I've been having nightmares with is somewhat controllable now. Still spins out whenever anyone looks at it harshly but I managed to make a few laps of Oulton before poo poo went fuckwards. Then in the race I hit the throttle a little too hard and span on the grid. Thankfully it was the last race of the series so I never have to do that poo poo again. ethanol posted:counterpoint: buy a wheel I'm probably gonna do this when I get my 10 year bonus from work in July, I've really taken to the cockpit camera which I've never used for any period of time in any racing game before. njsykora fucked around with this message at 23:23 on May 14, 2015 |

If you want to feel like a World #1, try Superkarts @ Monza full. I posted 2nd there last night with a poo poo lap on the default setup. Some effort laps and you too could feel like a world champion.

ethanol posted:counterpoint: buy a wheel Yeah, my UK buddy who's had it for a week told me to switch to controller mode 3 but I haven't had a chance to try that yet. I just ended up letting the AI drive last night while I watched from the co-driver seat. Pretty amazing visuals with the day/night change and changeable weather on the Nordschliefe. I wonder why they shipped it with such abysmal default settings (on what seems like all the systems it's on). And the damnable Fanatec Xbone wheel rim won't be here until this fall sometime, I had a Thrustmaster TX but sold it thinking the Fanatec would be ready at the end of May. So I have a CSW v2 base and a Porsche 918 rim that is.. exactly as functional as my CSR-E w/r/t xbone racing.

It's not. There's some behind the scenes stuff for each controller mode. It's unclear what exactly that is.

The one constant I've seen with controller setups is put all deadzones down to 0 unless your controller is really old and beaten up.

You know, I wonder if that's why I'm sucking with the McLaren F1 right now. I mean I know its a road car, but it handles like rear end and during practice for the 3 hour Zolder event it took 5 laps for just one front tyre to heat up. The rest were still cold. Unless that's how its supposed to be and I'm dumb.

Unless that's how its supposed to be and I'm dumb.  .You're not crazy: the wheels take forever to heat up (longer still when raining) and, as far as I can tell, there's no options like brake cooling you can change to increase their warm up time. The McLaren F1 is a brazen beast, but when you can keep it in check it is an extremely good car (best in class for many of the road events it's allowed in as far as I've seen). There's probably settings one can change to make it more manageable (even with cool tires), but I've just used it in various one-off invitationals that only warranted minor tweaks rather than extensive testing to seek a comfortable and fast setup.

Has anyone made a settings calulator like you get on Forza? They used to be ok for setting out a sensible neutral handling setup to start working from. Some of these settings are a bit of a mess.

Also the F1 road car isn't a perfect car irl and it's pretty janky in some ways compared to ultra modern stuff. I used to be on a forum a while back with a guy who owned one and he spent literally tens and tens of thousands trying to improve the handling and get rid of under steer, working with McLaren. His posts were always awesome to read and he was brutally honest about the car and it's shortcomings.

Is there a retard's guide to career mode? Because I'm tired of racing lawnmowers. I'm in season 2 and burned out on the kartzzzzzzzz and have no idea how to progress aside from grinding away at races. And I'm supposed to see invites on the calendar automatically, right? I've gotten a ton of them and none have made an appearance yet even after I searched the calendar.

If you don't like carts, start a career mode without them in it. Why are people forcing themselves to drive things they don't like? Litterly everything is open from the start.

Norns posted:If you don't like carts, start a career mode without them in it. It seems like progression is locked in. I was hoping to jump around after completing kart one, and got stuck with only super kart options with seemingly nothing else on the docket. You can abandon your season and go somewhere else, but I'm not sure if the game penalizes you in any way for it.

When you get an invitational it'll automatically stop as your next event when it's time. As for career progression I'm pretty sure if you start in Kart 1 you need to go through Superkarts to keep moving up.

I started at the lowest level of karts. I've completed the first karts championship and selected my team for the 250cc karts, but all I've been getting is invitational races, not a single 250cc race. I'm not sure why you aren't seeing the same. In season one, these were the Caterham and Focus RS. Now I've had the GT320(?) a few times in session two.

I started on Tier 8 to work on the Zero to Hero thing, did the first season, and then I think my mistake was renewing the contract for a second season thinking it would be for the bigger karts. I looked through my emails but I didn't see anything that said, "Hey come race FASTER karts with us!" I guess I'll finish out this season on the weedwhacker and see if an opportunity to advance will pop up. I started another career in the Formula Gulf series and it kills. I think I'm going to skip out of it and get into the next higher tier of Formula cars. Open wheel is just ridiculously fun.

So far I'm finding this game to be completely unplayable with a controller on Xbox One... tried a few different setups and it's not really getting there for me. Very frustrating. Not really interested in any of the current wheel offerings for Xbox One, and with the Fanatec wheel several months out... feeling like a waste of $60 here.

Some cars are driveable, some are utterly ridiculous. There's no rhyme or reason to it, unless it's that I'm just not hard core Sim HERO enough to drive a 300hp street car in a straight line (I own a V8 M3 in real life). I spent 2 hours last night dicking with control schemes and each car is a brand new challenge to keep from doing a U-turn left when you have the wheel turned completely to the right and are going 3-11 mph with your foot off the gas. The menus and UI are also loving abysmal.
