That's cool and I'll link that in the OP, but it's far too much information for someone who just comes in fresh and wants to know "So what do I buy to set me on my way into this terrible hobby?" Anybody who's so deep into it that he's going to compare which sim has chassis flex is not going to be interested in the OP anyway

GhostDog posted:The orange/red is supposed to be the weak point, not "okay". I guess I should make that a proper red, eh? I think more granularity than +/0/- defeats the point of a quick overview, also it's easier to classify the games and doesn't have to be updated so often Wow, I had no idea there even were games that had "good" AI. I thought all AI was horrible in every game. As for filling you in on LFS stuff: Depenending on your criteria, LFS should get a green square in Hotlapping as well. I mean, I don't know how other games do it, but it has this online board for hotlaps, and the hotlapping part of the game lets you set your starting tire temp and custom starting position (so you don't have to do an entire outlap, or start where the game puts you). Also what do you mean by controller support? People use whatever they want in LFS, keyboards, mice, whatever wheel, I use a 360 controller, hell I wouldn't be surprised if someones used a joystick. Another thing that LFS has that not all other games have is driver swaps, giving LFS a history of endurance races spanning most of a decade.

Thanks guys.pik_d posted:Wow, I had no idea there even were games that had "good" AI. I thought all AI was horrible in every game. Well, it is of course somewhat relative, but the idea is if someone tells me "I want to spent 90% of my time racing against AI" R3E and SCE would be the games (of the current crop) I would recommend. pik_d posted:Also what do you mean by controller support? People use whatever they want in LFS, keyboards, mice, whatever wheel, I use a 360 controller, hell I wouldn't be surprised if someones used a joystick. I only have very little personal experience with a controller in pCars, AC and rF2 when I was waiting to set up my wheel again, and I found pCars okay, AC and rF2 virtually undrivable. I can't really say much about it, I didn't give it a fair try, I just thought it might be helpful for people who don't have a wheel but want to have a look.

GhostDog posted:Thanks guys. LFS AI is trash imho, they hardly attempt to overtake, and even on the highest level are way way slower than competitive times. LFS should get red there. Also LFS should get green in controllers, if that's your experience with other games. Like I said, people can drive on literally any setup, and be fast too. SirViver posted:Haven't played LFS in ages, but I'd make a few changes: I do like that you can literally hear the diff working, but yeah the synthesized sound is just that, synthesized. Also you should play again. The new Westhill is pretty amazing.

Harminoff posted:So in dirty rally is my in game steering wheel rotation not suppose to match my actual wheel or are my settings screwed up somewhere? If you've got a 1080 or 900 degree rotation wheel I think soft lock in the FFB settings will change it to match the cars. Some are 540 and only the FIAT supports 1080 as far as I know. As for the in game graphical rotation it only goes to a certain point due to engine limitations apparently.

There's a dev blog post saying that they config for 270. Is that an old post? When I tried it in the Mini it actually felt proper.

270 was before the FFB patch last week. According to the latest info https://www.dirtgame.com/uk/blog/4718 the soft locking should be matching up your wheel if the car you're driving has a lower rotation lock than your wheel. Feels about right for me when I'm driving the BMW but 720 to 900 might just be me not noticing it.

Put the matrix in the OP. I took out the red for pCars' AI because in the grand scheme of things it's just somewhat regular bad racing game AI, not the travesty that is AC's AI.

So this mod is doing the rounds as a major fix to Dirt Rally's FFB issues. I just downloaded it and tossed it in with the recommended settings and had an absolute blast driving a couple of Monte Carlo stages.

That's a bummer, dude. If it makes you feel any better, it looks like the new update is going to hit any day now, hopefully with some more fixes for that error. A whole bunch of new achievements just went live, including ones that reference the new German stages, Group B RWD, and... kit cars?

Holy crap the CSW has power! Aside from the better FFB which was expected I'm suprised that just placing the car seems so much more precise. Did 2 hours of just hotlapping in AC and immediately pulverized all my previous times. Now my shoulders hurt

I dumped it twice just on the second stage alone.  That said, it was much easier to handle with a controller than some other RWD offerings (looking at you, Lancia).

I love the Lancia Stratos. It takes quite a while to learn, but once everything clicks, it just goes through everything like a dream. We were talking about the Stratos, right?

Goddammit, I want one hopefully our roof doesn't poo poo the bed until after I fill my piggy bank and order one... and hopefully they do a Black Friday sale that doesn't suck this year. We closed on our house yesterday. First thing I did was change the locks. Second thing I did was tear apart my sim rig, haul it to the new place, and spraypaint the gently caress out of the PVC. Today I'll paint the wood parts... and probably do some moving prep, I suppose... but mainly paint the sim rig.
