I did one of the long stages and only hit 2 hairpins, so this isn't a hairpin heavy rally. It's really shockingly fast for the surface you're working with. Also yeah, just running right along the edge of the snow bank and throwing up a huge cloud of powder is awesome for replays.

Exactly the thing I asked for a couple pages ago! Also, did they roll out a new update right after the first 10.5 Gb one, or did my Steam forget I had already done 9 Gb out of it and is making me redo it all from scratch? Because if so that will make me miss the weekly event for the league.

Well there's a few major bugs right now. Championships haven't had their event limit raised to 6, so custom and normal career championships are only 5 events. Manual wiper and light control seems to have vanished, some people have had the finish line not recognise their car in Sweden, the Hyundai has no upgrades and a bunch of the new league options have no way of enabling them on the website. So not exactly a flawless launch.

Manual wiper and headlight control is not working before go, for some reason. You can still control them while driving.

Are all the 2010's as pleasant to drive as the new Hyundai? My rear end in a top hat actually unclenched for a fraction of a second doing the daily today.

Managed to beat our Russian ringer on Monaco!  Was basically at a dead heat with him going into stage four (top time by ~.5 seconds first stage and ~.8 seconds third stage, ~1.5 seconds off the second stage) and felt like I had a pretty bad run (did a lot of wall grinding to rough up my car, but no serious damage... "it'll buff out!"), but, apparently, was top time on the stage by a solid ~2.7 seconds (AKA: everyone must've had a rough go of stage four). Felt like stages 3 & 4 were a ton better after I could tweak the setup though since the default 205 setup felt super unstable (fuckin' max RWD power on an icy road by default? really?) because the back end was swinging out like crazy; it was also much better for power consistency to drop the gearing drastically since I barely ever made 4th gear with the default gearing, did not use 5th once prior to changing the gearing. Shine posted:You'll like it. The finer control you have over the various controls with a wheel is very nice. The Stratos was a pain in the rear end to control with an Xbone pad but it actually feels drat nice with a wheel. Also, I take it the Dirt Rally 1.0 build doesn't automatically adjust steering degrees down at all (seems the wheel defaulted to 900)? Also, is the 1.0 FFB actually better or should I still snag that mod for it? Seemed alright at high speeds (was testing on a lingering Custom Event I had with the 2001 Focus on Finland), but the square right, when going slowly, the FFB got super heavy (like trying to turn a car w/o power steering) and I basically had to stop, turn the wheel 360 degrees, gas around the corner, stop again, uncrank it 360 degrees, and then get going again as the FFB seemed to loosen up again at higher speeds. Think I'm going to have to buy or build a wheel stand before I can meaningfully use it with the hard surfaces available around the house.*  Technical difficulties aside, it seems like it'll be fun once I can set it up to actually feel reasonably close to driving an actual car.* On the bright side: then it'll probably also be easier to just hook my computer up to my TV and use that instead of my monitor for racing games since my monitor is kind of small for the extra ~foot the wheel means I have to sit away from it. sandoz posted:Are all the 2010's as pleasant to drive as the new Hyundai?

Sometimes I got bored (notably on Germany... after an event gave me a random soft-suspension setup before they fixed that bug and it turned out to not only be incredibly composed/stable, but also faster than the hard-suspension, harder to handle default) with the Fiesta because it was too composed and felt like I was just coasting to easy wins; as in, I was literally whooping Master AI without feeling like I was in any danger of crashing because it felt slow/composed enough.

Also, is the 1.0 FFB actually better or should I still snag that mod for it? It doesn't adjust rotation, but it does adjust steering lock. The option you want is soft lock in the control settings. I'm finding with that the 1.0 FFB is pretty good. It's hurting my arms as much as it did with Impact at least, there's a good G27 setup on the workshop as well which helped. E: Finally got to Masters after 58 hours logged, this is obviously the perfect time to drive an F2 car on dirt for the first time. Also now I've reached Masters I'm gonna move to doing all custom championships because a full 12 stage rally isn't something I want to do. I think even an 8 stage masters championship is get more money than a 10 stage elite championship. njsykora fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Dec 9, 2015 |

 This is the first time I've fiddled with settings. I immediately improved my previous best by 13 seconds on my first attempt, and then by a further 17 seconds for that attempt.

So have they managed to fix jumps being too big with the reduced aero downforce that came from v2 handling?

There is no jump too big. That's heresy. Every car yearns to fly.

Its not the jumps that I have a problem with so much as the dumb little bumps that shouldn't be unsettling me as much as they are. It's pure laziness on my part. I got used to certain lines that I know I can't take now, I just gotta get used to eyeballing what will and wont bump me up. In slightly less whiny news, I loving LOVE to hate how scary it is going flat out in 6th down some of the long snowy straights in Sweden. Just touching the edge of those really flat drifts is enough to virtually guarantee a spin and maybe even half a dozen barrel rolls.

i really dislike the amount of jumps at some locations where the calls are just wrong for them. "Crest jump maybe" and suddenly I am in the air for 30 feet. Or even just "crest" and suddenly in the air for whatever distance.

bUm posted:Think I'm going to have to buy or build a wheel stand before I can meaningfully use it with the hard surfaces available around the house.* Definitely much slower than with a controller so far, but otherwise I had good fun for hours just slowly improving (started ~5 seconds slower than AI around Interlagos, weened it down to two seconds by the end and was crashing significantly less often... maybe 95% AI difficulty is a bit much); least until, awhile after switching to PCars, I decided to try a race against AI and was reminded how utterly lovely they are as I was just rammed incessantly (only partly due to being slow, mostly because they went off course and seek to rejoin it at the proper line which happened to be occupied by my car).  Anyway, will have to give Dirt Rally a go again now that I have a more stable solution and see how much slower I am here. jammyozzy posted:Did either of you figure out a way to fix it?

Post-release Road Book. There's also a link in there to a Red Bull Gaming interview I took some stuff from. - There's a patch coming to fix non-English pace notes and a few other bugs. - Console version will be functionally identical to the PC version and run at 60fps, they're also working on Rally School videos to teach new players how to handle things. - Once the console version is out they'll start thinking about what to do next. - Cheaters are being dealt with, people found cheating at 1.0's launch were banned for the rest of the year, and if they're caught cheating again it'll be a lifetime ban. Think it's only an online ban though, so they can't rank on leaderboards or race RX online but can play offline. - Good loving god what is with that video of the week thumbnail.

No addition of content until after (well, probably with... they'll probably coincide something new with the console release) April 5th 2016 is sad news. Good to hear there will be continued support though and I'm sure the next ~5 months will also involve getting things rolling on stuff to release after the consoles. Maybe they'll even be able to pull off another ~monthly release schedule of content similar to their Early Access run.

Hmm, yeah i think i encountered the unable to participate bug for the league as well. I put in my first run, and quit out because i did it with 900 degrees of rotation since i forgot to set it back to like 330 after playing eurotruck simulator, and wanted it to be tighter for my 2nd run, so I did the "save & quit" option, and now I can't continue on the leagues screen, just view the current standings. I suppose it's alright since I at least have a time in.. but not exactly a time I wanted to put in with my comfortable conditions. Actually, i checked the league website and the time for my first run isn't on there as my official time. I'm not on there at all. I guess you have to put in both runs for it to put a time in, or at least abandon one of the runs and finish the other. Guess I don't have a time now. actually actually, i am now trying to drive in career mode after playing with 900 degrees of rotation and I am way uncomfortable with that now after just one run with 900 degrees... I guess I have to bump up the degrees of rotation now. Also I have found the only time that clutch kicking has really been beneficial to me, which is driving the peugeot 205 t16 pikes peak. It just has no power in low revs, including in 1st gear. Kick the clutch and you've got turbo and you get moving. I use it on acceleration out of hairpins, and other rare occasions. I've never used it in any other car though. Skwee fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Dec 12, 2015 |

I'm really hoping Logitech comes out with a cheaper wheel option like the G27 again soon. I had an opportunity to buy it 2 weeks ago for ~$200, and now short of going eBay I'm looking at ~400 for an equivalent setup, for which I might as well just add another $100. I was finally ready to get a wheel too. Unless anyone has any other suggestions for a wheel setup?

Go to Ebay, get a cheap G27 or DFGT. Or if you're super averse to Ebay just get a T150. Logitech isn't gonna release a sub-$200 wheel unless the G29 REALLY tanks.

DFGT has been perfectly adequate for me so far, and only paid 50 bucks for it. Though I kinda want one that works on PS4 also, but not enough to pay $400 for it.

Just keep watching, they drop to $200 or less pretty often on Newegg and Amazon. I got really lucky last year and picked it up for $166 new (then did 2 day which brought it to $188). This was from NCIX, which I guess is out of stock, since they only show the G29 now.

Some wonky poo poo is happening with my wheel since the update. Idk if it is related to the update or not though. It will randomly become uncentered maybe 20 degrees to the left and I have to exit the game, unplug it and plug it back in for it to recenter itself. Ruined one of the online events since i was wondering wtf was going on starting out with having to adjust that much with no damage.
