Isn't evolution amazing? Horses are dying out because vehicles are more efficient. Bam. Evolution happens and suddenly cars fall down to 1 horsepower.

I just spent three hours with the Brabham on Historic Spa in rFactor2. Didn't manage to finish a single 20 minute race, but at least it was rarely my fault. I really need to learn where to hold back and not get involved in the inevitable AI on AI/AI on haybale/AI on house incident(s). Fun as hell combination though, and another car where rFactor2's FFB really shines imo. I also now understand why people with Alcantara wheels use gloves. A lap of SweatyPAlms.mp4

Just finished the Caterham series in pCars and man those are fun. The game has so much wrong with it, but when you can finally get to the actual driving bit it's really exciting. The main menu and general UI are infuriating. The car is a bit of a handful. It is quite finnicky indeed. Any more than ~5 degrees of slip and it's just gone, but if you can get it just a little bit tail happy and keep it under the threshold it's a real hoot to drive. Slow and easy and just a tiny bit drifty. Plus the game is *gorgeous* and the last race was at a really fun track (Snetterton?) at sunset. Next up was a Ford Focus race in the rain a dark and fog at Sonoma and it felt like a Mad Max Murderthon. edit: meant to post in the pCars thread :/

Bad news: The guys who were making the other models for the Super V8s in GSCE aren't making them for GSCE any more. Good news: They're making them for AC and rF2 instead and an amazing shitstorm is brewing from the people who donated to the project.

So they couldn't finish ONE mod and now they're making TWO? I don't understand. What I do understand though is that Reiza is awesome as always: quote:We´ll let this thread continue for another day, but this is not really a Reiza or GSCE discussion so not for us to mediate it. It will be closed soon.

It makes even less sense when you remember rF2 and GSCE are basically the same engine now, and AC is a completely different thing altogether. Like this isn't even 2 games with the same engine and basically the same mod setup.

In case it flew under anyone's radar: Assetto Corsa Patch 1.3 and the Dream Pack 2 DLC are out. The update brings tire model 5 and a host of technical improvements like 64bit support, multithreading, better shaders etc. At least that's what they say, I haven't tried yet.

Took the Mclaren out for a few laps of Donnington and any level of braking beyond extremely light sounded like my wheels were locking up, though when I looked at the replay they weren't locking up. Was an extremely annoying thing. No major performance upgrade either that I could see. Though the loading screen now shows the gearbox info for the car you've chosen so you know what you need to do when shifting. Also they broke the pre-race menu.

EvilJoven posted:That's weird I found braking OK and also the pre race screen wasn't broken for me. It's just the visual bit, setup stuff and the other menu bits are fine but it's like that at every track that I've seen. There are a couple of improvements, framerate doesn't completely dive at the start of a race with a full grid any more (though it does pop up a CPU usage warning), textures look a little smoother with my settings. It's better, but it's still Assetto Corsa and while it's better in 64-bit it's still seriously lacking a lot of the stuff other sims have like timed races, weather and night racing. E: Something I just thought of regarding the Dream Pack 2, is this the first time Catalunya's been laser scanned? It's been in a lot of games sure but I can't think of any other game using laser scanned tracks having it. njsykora fucked around with this message at 16:16 on Oct 9, 2015 |

Question for those of you running VR setups, inspired by this question from the Flight Sim thread:Jiblet posted:I'm yet to be convinced about VR. Not that i've tried out any of the contenders so you might want a bucket of salt to go with this opinion... Is it disorienting when your real-world "cockpit" area doesn't really match what you're seeing in-game? Particularly as far as input positions, like the shifter and handbrake.

The only part of it that I find disorienting is when you have the game display the wheel and the rotation doesn't match your physical wheel.

rFactor might be old, and some of the mods might not have cutting edge graphics, but I'll be damned if it isn't the best dirt oval racing going right now. Where else can you run Outlaw Wedge Late Models with 950hp and lexan sideboards?

If rF2 remains largely barren I wouldn't be surprised if someone starts work on graphical mods for rF1 so it can become one of those eternal sims that people play forever like GPL or RBR. I spent the last few days playing Project Cars since the last couple of patches have largely made it better to play. Setups work now, pit-stops aren't stupid any more, just a lot of stuff that I had issue with have been sorted out. Though the AI does still have its stupid moments, like ignoring mandatory pit stops and deciding the best line for an overtake is on the grass.

The improvements to the VR support in this last patch are really great. Performance dropped hard a few patches ago and that still remains to be an issue for the most part. By far my favorite racers right now. Whenever I am racing against the AI, I see dumb things like grass driving and at least a few being very aggressive with knocking into other cars.

More than likely, at least for the dirt oval stuff. If you're into street stocks, midgets, sprints, modifieds or late models (like I am), there's nothing that compares to it. It's the best dirt oval racing sim in existence as far as I know.

On an interesting thing, WRC5 came out today and while it isn't a sim rally game and isn't trying to be a sim rally game and the devs were out in interviews pre-release saying it wasn't going to be a sim rally game there are people in Steam reviews complaining that it's not Richard Burns Rally. What's more interesting is that apparently it doesn't have support for the DFGT or G25. I think it's pretty interesting if we're getting to a point where these older wheels are straight up not getting built in support in newer games that aren't super hardcore sims.

That's a shame seeing as they're perfectly functional wheels and also the G29 is overpriced as gently caress. EDIT: looks like the WRC5 devs are trying to add more wheels to the game, they just didn't bother doing it before the game was released. Pretty typical for developers these days.

Yeah I know, it feels like Kylotonn were trying to keep expectations at a proper level since its their first year with the licence and the series debut on the current consoles. Then the publisher and PR crew go out and gently caress them over. I've seen a lot of reviews blaming Milestone too.

Speaking of rfactor https://www.indiegala.com/monday Get all your 200kmh pony racing needs met by getting if for under 2 bucks with a bunch of other lovely games.

I am downloading some stuff that I've seen on "Best rFactor Mods" lists though, at least stuff that hasn't been converted over to newer games. So I'm not gonna get CART Factor since I already have CART Extreme.

Mod team's own sites seem to be where to get most rF1 mods now, rFactor Central only allows 3 downloads for free so you're not going to be able to build up your track or car library from there easily. Also most teams who still work on rF1 mods don't use it at all. I did a quick search and found this site here which has basically all the open wheel stuff you could want, F1 from 1998 to 2015, 2014 GP2 and GP3 and also Formula E as well as a bunch of tracks.

Though I did spend about an hour trying to make a V8 Supercars mod work before remembering I have the GSCE Super V8. My mod list has I think stabilised with the Enduracers mod, Blancpain 2012, VTCC, Formula E, DRM Revival and Miniville. I'll probably throw in an F1 mod at some point as well because christ every year of F1 seems to have a mod. Gradually pulling together a track collection too after completely deleting all the stock tracks because they suck.

Rfactor impressions. For street ovals it isn't an upgrade from nr2k3.. the aim constantly ramming you kind of sours the experience looks like online ovals are all dirt which I need to spend some serious investment in to not be a road hazars, sadly I'm not really into road courses. I still got my 2 bucks worth since I played with it for about 4 hours tonight but it was frustrating. Maybe I'll try go karts but again. Road courses.
