Always see everything.
Finally made some space for a permanent setup and ordered the CSL Seat. Can't wait to finally try pCars and Dirt Rally with the wheel, so far I only did about two hours each with controller.

Next year I'll see if I can deal with prolonged sessions on Occulus or if I'm going tripple screen.

JUST FUCKING TAKE OFF ALREADY, SHIT
There's a lot of things that P Cars does well, and some where its not so good. Such as some tracks giving you track cutting warnings when you're coming out of the pits when the drat thing is on autopilot, or on some tracks your car will roll backwards in the lead-up to the start and you get a penalty for that.

The AI needs to get a run-through again because it can be dumb as hell but also an awesome challenge. Having them get no speed penalty for cutting a track or going into the sandtrap is BS though.

It's definitely fits in between GSCE and Forza/Gran Turismo games no problem.

I'd like to say that whatever warts PCars has, being able to right click on my steam friends list and hitting "join" on a contact is worth so loving much when you consider all the circles of hell that AC makes you walk through to get a race going, and iRacing private sessions are way too serious.

I think this past week I did like 5 races with the goon crew back to back, the hardest part was when it was my turn to pick the car.

There is a giant all caps warning on the news page for Dirt Rally saying "DON'T DOWNLOAD THE LATEST PATCH" as it could corrupt your save file if you play with it. So if it's auto-downloaded don't play with it if you care about your save.

E: There's already a 1.6gb patch downloading for me to presumably fix poo poo.

Yeah, with any early access or beta game, I fully expect something to break horribly every so often, then get patched ASAP. That's an awfully big patch, though...

Got my CSL Seat. The seat is solid but the assembly instructions are terrible :)

Anyway, finally tried Dirt and pCars with the wheel, both feel like limp dick. In the case of Dirt I already knew that FFB is very much work in progress, but what's up with pCars? Is it supposed to feel that light?

I think the FFB with pcars feels really good, but you have to keep in mind I only recently clawed my way out of the dark ages of steering wheels.. when I bought pcars I went from a 270 degree wheel to a CSR.

There are a ton of FFB settings you can adjust, and everyone says really small changes can have big results.

Depends on if the people who do the port are the same as people who work on multiplayer. Though I think they should really finish the PC version before thinking about a console version.

A crowd called 505 Games are doing or helping with the port so it's not like they are just leaving the PC version on the shelf in the meantime.

505 are pretty well known porters, though not what I would call well regarded.

Lancia 037. :swoon:

Also it looks like they're adding two more car classes for the new cars. I presume the Ibiza and 306 are just a "kitcar" class, but what's the name for the class that has the Manta and 037?

If AC released in its current state on consoles, it would be a disaster, so let's hope not

They're probably calling it Group B RWD.

Apr 21, 2010

Makes sense, since the current Group B is explicitly 4WD. Peculiar that they'd lump the Renault 5 in with the 80s cars instead of Group B RWD though. Obviously nothing is final though so we'll see I guess.

Mesmerizing eyebrows is my specialty
Not sure if you guys talked about it before but, the first pictures of the g29 leaked. They didn't do poo poo for over five years and then when I finally buy a wheel, they are decide to make a new one within six months. But then I saw the picture of it.


:barf:

It looks almost identical to the g27 for the most part, the motor part of it, the design at least, seems to be the same shape too. So probably just a mutated g27 with a ps4 controlled hammered into it.

And the shifter is going to be sold separately apparently, but the wheel will still almost cost the same it did when I got my g27.

It's cool and all but if the rumors are true of G27 support coming for the PS4 then I'm good. gently caress I got my wheel a month ago for like 180 bucks. That's a deal.
