Phuzun posted:Yeah, so I must have hit Enter while in VR at some point, cause brake assist was bound to it and it was mysteriously turned on. Would have been nice to know that I had that bound or if I could change options during a race. There are multiple requests on their forums to have HUD indicators that tell you when you change assist settings in race. Of course... there are multiple requests for all sorts of fairly obvious poo poo that should be in this game, but goddammit if I don't find it still a lot of fun to play. We just finished some 5 man racing this evening, so take this post as a "you guys really missed out" post. There was Formula Gulf 1000s, Caterhams in the rain, Cosworths at Nordschleife... Was that all we did? Seemed like more than that.

Well I don't exactly have a HUD anyways in VR view. But it'd have been nice to have gameplay and control options in the pause menu. Really though, the UI would have to be my primary complaint. They need to hire up a UI dev.

Damnit I wish my work schedule didn't suck so much. I usually have openings in the morning so if you guys see me (Sigma One) on Steam playing the game I'm most likely up for some MP.

Has anyone tried the suspend/resume feature with this on PS4 for long races? I want to try races as close to as realistic in length as possible.

Apparently the flood gates are open after Superkarts (only if you win a lot?) for you Zero to Hero pursuers out there. I can sign contracts for: Superkarts (renewal), GT3, UK Clio Cup (first touring one) x2, Formula Rookie x2, Formula C x2, LMP3 Semi Pro, and LMP2. As far as I can tell, there's no benefit for jumping ahead to complete the Zero to Hero quicker (doesn't track how many seasons it took for e-peen measurements) though so I'm probably just going to continue on to Formula Rookie (tested both those and the Clio awhile ago and vehicle-wise Formula Rookie seems like the clear winner).Rad Valtar posted:Has anyone tried the suspend/resume feature with this on PS4 for long races? I want to try races as close to as realistic in length as possible. Some general comments on Le Mans: - Really cool that it actually divides by class so my picking an LMP1 put me in a race of 7, despite having 30 cars on the track simultaneously (all are pooled for Practice/Qualifying). - They really need to make AI responsive to cars coming up on them (headlights flashing to trigger this awareness would be acceptable... also making it so doing so doesn't turn your headlights off completely while dark would also be a plus) since this was a notable issue that multiple times forced me to pass in the grass to do so "safely" when not happening on the straightaway areas (extra cool that doing so often invalidated current and next lap because, I think, any off-track after T2 does that... which is a huge chunk of track on an ~8.5 mile track... especially since T2-to-start/finish is the high speed winding turns area where AI are the biggest nuisance hogging the raceable surface). Playing with full damage made some passes scare me when there was paint traded.* - Hilariously, the single race made the car (RWD P30 LMP1**) and track my "favorites" on my driver profile (putting both into the 500+ mile range), snuffing out the numerous Kart races that caused Glencairn to be my previous "favorite" locale. - Ended the race at lap 34 after the 2 hours had elapsed, was a little scared doing so since I had ~1/3 lap of fuel left and was just going on logic/hope the race ended at the first passing of the finish line after time was up. - Had no cautions I saw (assuming this is even a thing in offline... saw it happen in a goon race a couple nights back) and only evidence of one major wall impact by an AI leaving a couple body panels in the grass. - The Default car setup had the turbo Wastegate Pressure maxed and I rolled with it. Things seemed to be getting a little more sluggish by late race, but the scary engine damage the tooltip warns of won't kill your engine completely in two hours (least with this car). - Managed to win by a solid minute and ~35 seconds thanks to going bold on my pit strategy of full fuel tank (the first run, I realized slightly less than full was all I needed after the first set because the extra 4 [liters? gallons?] would've left me dry mid-lap trying to push it further) allowing me to do only two pit stops the entire two hours while the AI seemed to be taking ~half tanks and had to pit a lot more (when things cycled at one point about an hour in, an AI ended up a mere ~2.5 seconds back which was a concern); thankfully it was a rain-free race which could've seriously screwed up my long-runs strategy. All-in-all a good time. Maybe when SMS deals with AMD cards running like poo poo I could try streaming since an endurance race seems like a good background stream for people doing other things (and hoping I crash ). * Recently drove on Bathurst for the first time. I do not look forward to the Endurance race there with the walls right up against the racing surface with no run-off areas at all on most turns. Similarly, Nürburgring will be quite a test with slim run-off areas and long winding roadway not giving much respite in the form of long straightaways. ** The rear facing camera monitor in the cockpit is too cool in this thing. Will be sad going back to other cars that rely on clearly inferior technology (mirrors).

I think this is good if you're already familiar with the diciplines. Being able to skip the FR cars to go straight to FC is gonna make trying to get the achievement less horrific, though it'll still mean either going through FA or Endurance.

I was looking through the profile stuff last night as I finished the first Kart season and the only thing available at that point was Superkarts. I think there are achievements associated with doing Zero to Hero in a maximum number of seasons... I think it's like "win an LMP2 championship in 12 seasons or less starting from Tier 8" or something. But if I recall correctly, the counter on the seasons (and this is after I had just finished one) said 0/12. Sooooo probably bugged?

I was looking through the game's achievements yesterday and there's no achievement for doing Zero to Hero in under 10 seasons. There is an achievement for driving the 3 Azure Coast tracks at the speed limit (50kmh) though. There's one for completing a race on Azure Circuit from cockpit view driving entirely in reverse without colliding with anything too. I love stupid achievements. njsykora fucked around with this message at 14:15 on May 21, 2015 |

I like how the article claims the G27 is "outdated". It's a steering wheel you can plugin to a computer or console. It has some buttons. Nothing about that is outdated.

AI being immune to the slow down going off the track is my biggest issue right now. Behind 2 cars who are battling, one forces the other guy way off the track into the gravel, he is just as fast as I am and manages to get back on the track and keep his 2-3 second lead.

That G29 looks pretty sweet, my G25 has been fantastic and I only really care to upgrade when it either dies, or if I can get a good wheel that supports both PS4 and Xbox 360/One. Dammit Microsoft and your Device DRM BS,

It's typical poo poo. A very vocal minority have a skewed view of what constitutes being lied to. The big complaint is that the mods are banning anyone who mentions bugs. I've been reading the forums off and on this week and have yet to see anyone get banned. Hell some posters yell at the SMS president and he's just being as open as he can.
