When Forza put an acvw into the game I abused that thing so badly. Handled like a horse on an ice rink.. if you waited long enough to get up to speed.

The best part of the Ferrari pack is they did that community vote for one of the cars, and with options including a bunch of cool as gently caress old cars the overwhelming vote winner was the 2017 F1 car. To go with the 2015 F1 car that's already in the game.

wolrah posted:Unless you're claiming there's a bug in Windows 10 that only affects older Fanatec drivers this really shouldn't matter, but for the record I have the Forza CSR which was abandoned at 261 just like many of the 911 wheels (it's internally pretty much the same as the later ones). Do you have any idea how much specific code there is in drivers? To this date every graphics driver on the market still has code that says "IF GAME == QUAKE {}" its a hacky kludge that got done a long time ago and left in forever because that's how the real world works. Its not that Windows 10 only has an issue with older Fanatec drivers, its that Windows 10 doesn't support backwards-compatibility as good as they'd like and they know this which is why most people have re-written new drivers. But its still a problem when they break backwards compatibility but try to act like they still support it. Anyways agree to disagree but holy poo poo I can't disagree enough with your "look its definitely not windows 10 if its not something every single person with a computer experiences" argument.

CoTA's like that for me. I was there as a spectator for the first MotoGP race there, and hated it. Bad sight lines, bad pedestrian flow, grumpy security staff. Miserable place to watch a race though it looks pretty good on TV. Then when I started playing it in sims it turned into one of my favorite tracks. It's a joy to drive on.. clearly they designed it for the drivers and broadcast crews.

beamng is something I dust off every once in a while, but for all the cool stuff they've added the one thing they REALLY need still isn't there: random AI traffic. What's the point of hilarious collision damage if all you can run into is trees?  They also have an issue with gravity feeling really floaty. Once your car launches it takes forever to come back down.

Harminoff posted:Is there traffic yet in beamng? I see they added a new city nap, which is cool, but would rather not drive in a ghost town. There kinda sorta is, but not really traffic as much as you can spawn multiple cars and assign very basic "AI" behaviors to them if the map you're playing on has paths configured. There are pretty much three modes; random, chase, and flee. Random just drives around and makes a die roll at every intersection to decide what it's going to do. Chase lets you select another vehicle and the AI will do its best to ram in to it, following roads as much as possible. Flee is the inverse of that, the AI will do its best to get as far as it can from the selected vehicle. I believe there are more advanced options available in scenarios for selecting specific paths but I haven't dug too deep in to those. I like to stage 8-12 police cars around a map, set them on random for a few minutes, then set them to chase me while I drive some capable but unbalanced vehicle (like maybe it has a lot of power but poo poo tires, or great off-road suspension but the smallest motor) and see if I can survive long enough for them to take themselves out. The West Coast USA map's paths are still pretty janky, I was having cars trying to cut corners through buildings and there was a bridge that they'd just stop and then move forward/backward repeatedly at the edge of. The Utah map is pretty good for this. Also doing the reverse is fun sometimes, set the AI up in a bunch of various "getaway" cars and me in a cop car that I've tweaked to be stupid fast trying to take them all out without wrecking my own car.

yeah you have to make your own fun in beamng. the ai is predictably terrible and supposedly they dont have the resources to make it multiplayer. there's also cannon balls and silly poo poo like logs on trucks but its usually a bit tedious to setup how you want it can you imagine this game engine with pvp destruction derby mode. i hope the devs can at least eventually cash out by selling what they've learned to be used in other games. njsykora posted:people got loving mad that literally all he had was a G27 and a lovely beaten up swivel chair and he beat all their Obutto and Leo Bodnar owning asses. lol are there any noteable gamepad users in iracing? i have a really hard time feathering the gas using a trigger finger that's been wired by decades worth of muscle memory to shoot videogame bullets. works well enough in forza and dirt rally but those are generally very forgiving games. Jim Silly-Balls posted:This guys argument was that people saying you don’t need a 10k rig to be fast were just jealous i always wonder what people with setups like that drive irl because with a budget like that you can make some otherwise really boring cars really fast

I think my dream game would be beamng dynamic car physics combined with pretty accurate physical simulation of the motor itself like in automation. Trying to design and race your own car on a budget seems like an interesting challenge.

Zaphod42 posted:I thought I was the only person who actually enjoyed driving on COTA Only in a top-end high-downforce car though. I find it very boring if you don't have the right car to flow the esses using aero. Sebring for instance is a place where you can have fun at any speed, so I think I have to qualify it as a great track even though it doesn't really ring any bells for me.

The COTA esses are hilarious fun on a motorbike. The downside is there's no "sim" cycle game, it's all arcadey goofiness. Other sections that are amazing on two wheels are turn 13 on mugello, and the maggots-chapel sequence on silverstone. When you nail the approach it feels so effortless to slice through the turns.

The downforce thing is key to COTA, in basically anything short of a F2 car it's too long or too fiddly on the full layout to be any fun.

Jim Silly-Balls posted:Why am I getting the feeling as I get more into sim racing that F1 sim racers are a different kind of crazy than the normal sim racing crazy Eh. The games: The Codemasters F1 games are kiiiind of bad, and were the only game in town. They got a bad case of roster updates while leaving in race-breaking bugs that destroyed enjoyment for hardcore fans. (Like pace cars crashing, game making a wrong tire choice at the start of a race then pits glitching so your team wouldn't release you until every single other car in the pits exited ahead of you...). They're okay games, and the racing sim in the middle of most races is pretty good. But if you try to go hardcore run with full laps for a whole season... at least 2 of the races have major glitches guaranteed. Not to mention at least one race where the rain changes three different times and you don't have pits to talk to about when to box so you have to queue it up yourself. It's a sad thing because the "feel" of the game in the middle of a race is really drat good. It's just the rough edges that can make you swear vengeance on Codemasters. The series: F1 does require a certain level of buy-in that lesser series aren't so bad or. The cars have a massive issue with going undrivable at anything less than competitive speed- especially in regards to the ridiculous amount of aero they carry. You have to lean hard into the aero way before you have any clue whether the car will actually stick, in order to get the equipment up to temp, in order to start driving at full speed, in a vicious circle. It's easier to start following another car or to know from real life that a certain corner can be taken flat-out, and start using that as a basis for where the car will stick. I'd only buy into the F1 games/bundle if you really think you're going to enjoy working up to a full (schedule, and at least like half-distance) F1 season. If you just want to drive an F1 car around a track, get one of the other games that have F1 cars now.

Not sim racing but $1 for Toybox Turbos is a pretty good deal since that game is way better than the actual Micro Machines game they put out this year.

Wreckfest (previously knowns as Next Car Game) is vaguely in that direction. It doesn't have as detailed of a physics model as BeamNG but it's built around detailed crashing. It is possible to use multiple gamepads to control multiple vehicles in BeamNG, but it doesn't have a split screen mode so it'd only really work to do a top-down view on the demolition derby map and maybe some of the smaller circuits. I can see why they don't do multiplayer though, there's just too much to keep synchronized for it to work well. The only way to not have it require powerhouse servers would be to trust each client to handle the physics of its own vehicles/objects, and that still leaves room for lag or one player running on a potato to cause the whole game to jank up. wolrah fucked around with this message at 01:27 on Nov 30, 2017 |

Also the mention of sim spergs reminded me of when Reiza put an option in their time trial mode to just grab the setup of anyone on the leaderboard and a bunch of people flipped the gently caress out because suddenly their uber-setups that they'd spent hours perfecting weren't going to be the only thing keeping them at the top of the leaderboards any more. So Reiza ended up making an opt-out for people who didn't want to share their poo poo because people who obsess over setups are the loving worst.
