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.

I hope they put some rims for sale. The BMW rim seems like a good all-rounder for most cars, but it's rather heavy. That formula rim would definitely be nice for open-wheelers.

It's very similar to older dirt games so people who tweaked these files in previous versions have done the same thing here with these files, most likely carrying values over from older games and tweaking accordingly.

This doesn't hold as true in online sales, but I don't think the racing wheel market is such that it'd do anything but lose them money to do noteworthy discounts on their staple products.

I snagged the BMW/F1 rim combo which all told is really super tits since swapping out between a round rim and an F1 rim was a thing I didn't know I wanted in life.

Accuforce fanboys are going crazy on the iracing forums. That review put out recently comparing the Accuforce, Bodnar and OSW wheels put the accuforce firmly in third place because it has a stepper motor and not a servo motor. Now accuforce owners are lashing out against any thread mentioning fanatec because I guess that's the only thing an accuforce can beat. I personally would rather either get the CSWv2 and save money or spend money on the OSW. Both of those have actual servo motors. The difference being the CSW is not DD and has a smaller motor.

I checked out that force feedback mod for Dirt and it makes my wheel immediately clip. On tarmac, and it's a G27 so it's loud as gently caress. Is there anyway I can just reduce the ffb overall without affecting other games?

That articulation is pretty nuts, but it looks like the monitor mount needs some better bracing because you can see it vibrating a lot. Too expensive for me, either way.

Good grief. If I had that much money burning a hole in my pocket, I'd just buy a beater to daily drive then strip down my Subaru and build it back up as an actual rally car.

Speaking of, is the fanatec Porsche 911 GT3 RS V2 still an ok buy? I've been getting into dirt a lot and have been using an Xbox controller, but am interested in trying a wheel with it. There is a deal with that plus pedals for $250 aud which seems suspiciously cheap, but I wouldn't want to spend much more than that anyway for a peripheral I'd only use occasionally.

It should be good still. I had a fanatec CSR which is nearly the same thing and I enjoyed it while it was still alive.

SealHammer posted:It's actually a left three, you just gotta stand on the throttle to keep your traction. Hearing how they did the pace notes* was a downer simply because it seems like it'll be a massive hassle to just fix the plainly wrong ones (think they agreed some were wrong and are going to be fixed eventually), let alone make custom ones which would be neat (custom including giving the option of editing the notes so you could just change them to follow your own preference for a particular curve and who cares if it doesn't have a ~perfect~ intonation for the precise curve at hand based on the actual forces felt in the car). I also don't like that they don't have any notes explicitly calling for you to cut a turn since sometimes a deep cut works incredibly well and sometimes not (even on ones that don't specify "Don't Cut"). * Pretty sure they said they did them in an actual motion rig following the courses all the way through on a single run with the guy on the Dev Team who actually has worked as a pro rally co-driver for some years. This is cool, but probably made them code it in a less accessible manner than they otherwise would've for "realism/authenticity" that most people don't notice anyway.** ** That said, if they open up any customizing content contributions from the community I really, really hope it's, over anything else, stage design tools/assets so the community can add more stages to the existing rallies since they become hopelessly repetitive. Even when they have the full 7~8 rallies they're shooting for added, two long stages (four if you include reverses which feel quite unique) per rally gets pretty repetitive fairly quickly. One of my favorite aspects of the old Colin McRae games was large stage count making it far less likely for you to end up memorizing the stages to the point you don't even need a Co-Driver. Recreating real world locations is, again, cool, but I feel like as a game it'd be more enjoyable with more quantity rather than a likely unnoticeable drop in quality (aka: they'd probably be able to make double the stage count in the same time without trying to painstakingly match it to real stages that most players won't recognize).

Getting the workshop up for custom car skins would be a great start, and please dear lord let them actually take custom pace notes seriously, as with your one on Greece, there's a couple on Monaco that always seem to catch me off guard that I'd love to add a 'stay tight' warning to.

Reiza secured a licensing deal for the ISIMotor source code, and they've started a crowdfunding campaign specifically to improve their existing titles:quote:We recently have finalized a deal with ISI for licensing the ISIMotor source code - the game engine our games are built on. This move substantially increases our development scope. Up until now, we had only been able to add new functionalities to the game with plugins & code injection - a time consuming & often troublesome way of doing things. They're also working on a completely new sim outside of the scope of this campaign: quote:- PC Racing Simulator on Steam, to be developed, expanded & supported for years after initial release;

There's one high speed L4 in Greece that I can only take fast by jumping the corner entirely, like my outside wheels come well off the track on the inside. If I try to take the corner normally then the crest fucks me up, which ofcourse the co-driver doesn't call out.

What's the verdict on Project CARS, folks? I recall initial mixed reactions, I think? Specifically interested in how it compares to AC physics and FF-wise I guess, because that's what I've been playing thus far. Anything I should know before making a purchasing decision?
