I'm using a Logitech MOMO wheel with manual sequential and using a clutch button for it is extremely awkward.

I think I'll just have to live with it till I get a better wheel.

I love it. It's so nicely balanced, goes through turns like a hot knife through butter.

That moment when you finally swing your tail out just far enough to roll a RWD 3 times.

I put my E30 into a ditch just before it filled in and did a perfect 360 barrel roll back onto the track. Naturally I didn't have Shadowplay installed at the time.

I recently did that on ps4 with the Mini. I was very impressed but it was only a shakedown.

New patch is up, mostly bug fixes including the FFB issues in rallycross thankfully. The big thing for the patch is updated visuals and handling on Pikes Peak and the hillclimb cars since the real Pikes Peak hillclimb is coming up soon.

Until you are comfortable, the best way to approach Group B is to go ballsout in the straights but be extra careful during turns. Your times will even out well enough.

Whos a good youtuber/streamer to watch?

I see heaps of IRL rally dashcam vids where they are basically warp-speeding through a wormhole and Im wondering if you can even play the game like that.

I keep trying to play DR after coming home from the bar and it turns out if I can't drive my car home on city streets, I probably can't drive a rally car on gravel. FR: Call Uber option.

I can't remember what game it was. But I recall laughing at the "wait at least thirty minutes after playing to drive an automobile" warning

I played a poo poo ton of Sleeping Dogs when it came out and the next time I got in my car I had to remind myself that we drive on the right side here in the US.

how??

is it just a game of managing the momentum? My car doesnt steer that quick with my G920 or my controller. I dont really mess with the setup of the car too much.

i have my controller sensitivity around 65 for steering with lower linearity (40?)

old cars I can do fine but group B poo poo kills me instantly. AWD is a mixed bag.

Yeah, you manage your momentum and try to make sure your car's suspension isn't jiggling around before stepping on the gas.

Seriously, this cannot be stressed enough. This game often seem to weld them by default. Makes RWD cars much more forgiving.

since the update the game doesn't remember my native res when I exit the game and it doesn't properly change in game, always hosed up aspect ratio and blurry like its in a lower res. and all for 1/50th of my monthly quota for a feature I don't have. FECK.

The vr support is pretty good. They have done a great job limiting the nausea. I find project cars nearly unplayable especially for any vertical movement, but most stages that were green or orange in dirt rally were fine for me. I tried a short red stage in Finland and I had to take a break right after I finished - those jumps are way, way more scary in vr. :stonk:

When doing exterior car view they put a circular mask around the image to limit peripheral vision which I think helps a lot as well.
