I was doing alright until the last stage... ploughed into a stone and sent my wheel flying off. Also the game just got some huge update adding in telemetry.

Yep, the console content is now in the PC version. So there's finally a RWD option in the 1960s class, some less expensive RX options and some of the console UI updates got added too. The menus look better, the loading screen info box is better laid out and there's a little pre-stage screen showing the stage name and what number it is in the current rally which is nice.

Going from RWD to AWD is a pretty big change although it might be the car I decided to use. The Delta S4 had pretty predictable response at certain rpm ranges and was easy to force into oversteer during turns. The 95 Impreza handles stiffly but I am having trouble with hairpins - even though in the hillclimb I can take sharp turns pretty well in the quattro (then again that car is a beast). I'm not a great driver so moving to Professional seems pretty difficult trying to get out of 5th place. Night rallies are pretty sweet though. How does the league work? Do players set an event type and timeframe to finish it? SPACE HOMOS fucked around with this message at 14:54 on Apr 5, 2016 |

Yeah, there's a set of stages and a set of classes you can use and you have a week to set your time over the whole rally. Event restart is enabled so you can start over if you really screw up but once you're finished or wreck your time is logged. E: I'm gonna restart my career to try and get my skill back, I got a lot of dirt rust. njsykora fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Apr 5, 2016 |

I've been obsessed with doing the daily races until I inevitably crash and start getting excited for tomorrow's race.  I have been slowly getting better at rallying with a third party xbox controller. Can't wait to jump in the league with you guys this season.Edit: Since you were asking for screenshots I always liked this one even though its not too dramatic.  Since I'm posting stuff...this isn't my best run ever. The air I got on some of the jumps is just obnoxious and some of the corners were less than perfect. It is however a good representation of why I love this game so much. Its just immensely fun beating on virtual cars. I found a tune in the spotify playlist I had running at the time that matched up with my time and hit record on the replay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kw6x_U23zrE VVV sup 360 controller with no assists buddy.

Jumping on the league train with a 360 controller and no assists.  For the few days I've had the game I've consistently been at the bottom of daily rankings, but I feel like I'm making progress each race, even if it's just crashing slightly less or not spinning my Lancia Stratos every chance I get. I rarely play driving games, but there's something satisfyingly brutal about this one.For others who are just starting out, check out the in-game tutorial videos they just added today. I haven't gone through them all yet, but they're short and seem to do a good job of teaching basic concepts and techniques.

Anyone else with a Logitech wheel finding their wheel absolutely hates the new rallycross cars? I have no problem with any other cars or the supercars but the S1600s and Mini RX's make my wheel feel like it's about to break apart. E: A quick scan of the Steam forums says yeah this a common thing. Shame as I'd really like to get some time with the S1600s as they feel like an F2 rallycross car and I want me some of that. njsykora fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Apr 6, 2016 |

Not sure if they mentioned this in the patch notes, but they doubled the tyre durability.

Yeah they did, though some people I saw complaining that they just did a blanket increase in durability rather than fixing the issue of tires puncturing on landing after jumps. But then I'd assume here we're hitting another of those restrictions of the Ego engine and the tire model.

They handle that in two different stats. One for tyres getting punctured and another for tyres getting blown. Thing is, harsh landings could do either depending on a whole number of random factors, so it wasn't all that realistic.

A good change for however long it takes to want to play Dirt Rally some more; still haven't even touched Sweden: in part due to the FFB feeling like garbage on my T-150 compared to other games, in part due to just playing other games besides sim racing in general.

Probably going to jump on this and barrel roll my car over a cliff or twenty  I used to play RBR back in the day with an cheap thrustmaster wheel and was awful at it, is it safe to assume I'll be terrible here too?Are the course layouts fictional or built to match the real rally stages?

The stages are mostly real world or based on real world stages, though I don't know all of them.

Out of curiosity, which camera are you guys using? I've been using the helmet came since I got the game because ~realism~ (and I realized that I can judge approach speeds much better from inside the car), but on stages with snow on the banks I'm finding that I usually take it too close to the snow and end up biting into the snow and loging a bunch of speed/spinning. Same happens in greece: I try to stay close to the wall only to misjudge how close I am, ramp the wall and catapult myself out the side of the cliff.

Always cockpit cam. This opens a can of worms about FOV though, something you might wanna look into if you're having troubles.

Cockpit for me because I use a wheel. If I was using a controller it'd be chase or hood cam.

Jehde posted:Always cockpit cam. This opens a can of worms about FOV though, something you might wanna look into if you're having troubles. Yeah, I adjusted it a bit; I actually used a calculator and fiddled with the angles in the .ini files at one point but it was doing jack poo poo, I think that tutorial may have been for the early access when you couldn't change the FoV from in-game; I have it at 0.8 now (I can see the tip of my driver's feet) and feels good enough. I may check to see if there's some in-game number to angle chart somewhere at some point, but I think it's not bad right now.

njsykora posted:Cockpit for me because I use a wheel. If I was using a controller it'd be chase or hood cam. Not much advice for not turning too tightly unless it's a car setup issue where you're oversteering though; you've identified the problem, now it's just a matter of learning to adjust your driving to prevent it. It's definitely normal, took some time to get used to placing the nose with cockpit visibility; also harder in eras with front engines vs. really short hood mid/rear-engine machines where you're clearly driving off the road by the point you'd be taking the corner too aggressively.

Bought this game on a whim for the console this week and it's been really fun while difficult too so far. Does anybody that has been using a controller on the PC have any suggestions for tweaks to the controller settings? It seems a little difficult to use the default ones for fast cars so far at least. Or is it just an issue of getting used to speed, etc... on my part still?
