I'd like some pixels in the shape of Ferrari cars, please. Also dedicate some of those pixels to sound waves that sound like Ferrari cars.

I don't need all the Ferraris, just a representative sampling would be great. It would really round the game out.


This could be the best class action settlement ever.

If this works, I might just have to use that Steam Refund thingy-ma-bobber for this game.

Always see everything.
If nothing else, the UI is definitely a case for a lawsuit. I was missing several options in the car settings because using the mousewheel only gives the impression of actually scrolling, in reality it only scrolls a little bit up and down if one item is not quite 100% visible, but there might be another five items below that you can only reach by arrow keys.

The 24 Hours of Le Mans is a go! :D I'm going to be watching the race on my laptop while doing my own personal Le Mans race in Project CARS, but only like 50 laps. You can have 42 AI drivers, so this is as close as we get to the real life race. You just can't pick what classes and cars you want on the track. The most accurate solution is all players that pick their own cars.

I've been stoked about this game for the longest time. I'm ready to pull the trigger since it's on sale on the Steam store. But right now, I don't have the space to set up my poo poo rear end combo of the Xbox 360 wheel, Act Labs pedal set and shifter in my apartment. That and, well, I'm not sure I really want to bother dialing in a nice setup since I might be moving out of my place when the lease is up.

How well does this game play with a PS3 controller? Is it playable like at the level of Gran Turismo 6 / Forza Motorsport 5? I would consider those two games are very playable with controllers IMO. I'd hate to drop the cash to buy this game, only to not enjoy it because I can't keep the car on the road with a controller!

Which 360 wheel do you have?

If it's the OG wireless 360 one from Microsoft, it doesn't work with this game. No FFB (they never made FFB drivers for Windows) and there's a giant 30 degree deadzone that you can't eliminate when you use it with this game.

It's definitely playable with a controller with some settings tweaks. I played it that way for a while until I dug out my 360 wheel.

It's just more fun with a wheel.

I haven't got a PS4 controller, but it's definitely playable with an XBone controller. These are the settings I use:

steering deadzone = 10
steering sensitivity = 10
throttle deadzone = 10
throttle sensitivity = 40
brake deadzone = 10
brake sensitivity = 30
clutch deadzone = 10
clutch sensitivity = 45
speed sensitivity = 65
filter sensitivity = 35
ffb = 100
input mode = 3
advanced = on
dampening = on

Works really well for me.

Word. I'd be down for a few more maybe 8ish, but whatever I haven't had a chance to race (sober) in a few days so I'm jonesing.

Also playing this game drunk is ridiculously difficult, now I understand why drinking and driving is a bad idea, not to say I thought it was a good or acceptable idea before. Delayed reaction times and clumsy articulation make it practically impossible. What's your psn? I'm dog_nougat

I did a test where I would do laps of Laguna seca, and when I passed the finish line, I'd take a drink of bourbon. I went faster to begin with, and then poo poo went south.

Glad that the game works well enough with a controller. I have both XBone and PS3 controllers, so I'm sure between the two, I can find a good solution. Thanks for the feedback. :)

I don't know if there's a le mans thread floating around, but goddamn did Fox Sports' coverage go from awesome shitheap in a hurry.

Had a pretty great web stream going all day off their website and in about the past 30 minutes it turned in a "lol you're not authorized to watch this jerk" crapfest. Then I finally get it working again and it's constant commercials and Corvette dashcam.

I used to think you guys were cool. :mad:

Well, considering the speeds, the uneven surfaces and the levels of downforce so high they may as well be on Jupiter... yeah, I think they are going to bottom out a bit.

The last few hours are incredibly intense. Watch the documentary, Truth in 24 Hours. It covers the most successful years of Team Audi and their rise to become one of the most dominate LMP1 teams in the race.

Which Fox sports decided they didn't feel like streaming anymore. Because why would anyone want to watch the end of 24 hours of racing. :downs:

I hate fox sports so drat much, anything that isn't nascar gets the absolute bare minimum attention. Their motogp coverage is absolutely atrocious.

Specifically, when they move over a crest in the road. The mulsanne straight is a public road most of the year and has a high point to assist in drainage like most public roads do. So when the LMP cars move over it.. pretty sparks.

why did this patch break my ability to actually keep bindings saved? :sigh:


edit: you're supposed to just say "gently caress it" and accept that it resets your choice every time so you just rebind everything to what it brings up, but last time i tried that it wouldn't accept my pedals, so i couldn't do the work around. just tried it again, pedals got bound so now im kind of not so pissed off any more.

The carts are a blast, although I'm finding it hard to transition from the carts to cars just due to how responsive and zippy the carts feel.
