Also, the youtube recommendation hellmouth, which is usually pretty good about bringing me sim racing content, has been completely silent about it. It's fine but it's an online racing focused sim that doesn't have online racing working properly yet so people aren't jumping in. It'll probably pick up more hype when it's finished.

Admittedly last time I was on it, it had servers you could join for multiplayer and that was it. Are they going to do automatic matchmaking? Because what I really want is gran turismo sport on PC in VR. I wanna just get matched up and race and not mess around with picking a server and BS like that. GT Sports biggest advantage over every other sim is you can fire it up and be in a race within a couple minutes generally. I like iracing but it feels like I have to dedicate a whole evening to one race, where I could get 4 or 5 races in with GT Sport in an evening. Anyway that’s what I was hoping ACC would be when I went in on EA and then proceeded to completely stop paying attention.

ACC plays, feels, and looks pretty good. It has hotlap leader board special events and that's all I use it for for now. You still cant pit for fuel so the 'endurance' aspects of it are just completely hosed, though I don't see why you'd want to run 3 or 6 hour races in single player, or for ad-hoc multiplayer with randoms. There's no damage yet, and the only penalty I've seen is for off-tracks and the punishment is your lap time wont count, so I assume multiplayer will just end up being a punt fest.

I posted this in the Forza thread but It'd probably be better asked here: Does anyone play FM7 with a G27 and have some profile/ingame settings they can share? I've been looking around but information is scarce. I remember reading that it wasn't worth using a wheel for until the FFB patch last December so while the XB1 controller is good, I have a racing cockpit and would like you use it.

For any dirt rally beginners, I found these videos to actually be helpful within the game. Didn't know about racing lines or how to do pendulum turns properly until I saw these videos. Might be useful for anyone struggling in DR2.

I had to retire from a rally in Dirt 2.0 because I'd smashed my headlights in the previous stage and the final stage was so pitch black dark I couldn't see to drive 10/10 Here's a quick recording, nothing too fancy and I get a puncture at the end, but I forgot to record anything until the end of the day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pn0qBUZ7SMs

I don't have DR2 (waiting on VR support this summer) but in DR1 I found it most helpful to run through the career more or less chronologically, starting with the 60s cars and working my way up (but save the Group B cars for last). Learning how to drive slow FWD/RWD cars builds good habits for the more modern AWD cars. Don't worry about getting a low placement, just drive through a whole season in career mode and then buy new car and do it again. Time trials are going to help more when you have mastered the game, not when you're a beginner.

I jumped into dirt rally again for a bit and found the Alpine A110 super fun to drive. I worked my way through the 70s and 80s and whatnot and they were all pretty fun. Anything newer just doesn't do it for me for some reason.

I came in dead last, only ahead of those who disqualified and and retired. I was mostly keeping pace with the race leader, from what I could gather, up until I inevitably spun off the course multiple times.

This video helped me a lot when I first got started with DR. Regardless of which car you drive or in which mode, the concepts for each style of driving should still apply. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WlBntwsOdA Also, take a look at this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=462311586 The cars do drive differently, some better than others. The Stratos you mentioned is notoriously difficult to drive and is not a beginner car at all. Start slow and speed will come later. Kodo fucked around with this message at 05:50 on Mar 11, 2019 |

Stratos for lunacy, Manta for composure. As for learning the cars, I'm with the posters above. I just ran championships through starting early era and advancing each time. Once you get a feel for driving fwd/rwd/awd the dailies and such get easier. And don't sweat winning - I'm usually pretty pumped if I finish with the light pod still attached after night stages, or without hurtling off the road full speed. Take it slow and the speed will come!

But I'm still either coming to a complete stop and just continuing on like a grandma or blasting off the course. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bgg5WWfMWzM It's not easy. The end of that waimarama video I posted above has a lot of those 1/2 corners and you can see I struggle with them a bit. You gotta get so many things right. Throttle at the wrong time spits you off because it decreases your lateral grip but throttle is also essential for pulling the car towards the inside of the corner once you are facing the car in enough because its clawing and pulling you in more and lateral slide is now taking you through the corner. To get the cars attitude right you have to be balancing the weight right with the brake but too much brake will make you skid at the wrong time and not enough won't get you doing what you need and you are fighting the throttle... its not even something I can really explain because its so much about feel and something you just start doing after practice. The reason the game starts you off in FWD cars isn't just because they are slow and you need to counter steer less. It is because balancing the cars weight forward to backwards is essential to making the car turn. You quickly see if you are getting it right because you'll understeer less and less and be able to take corners faster and faster. Just keep at it. (do not drive the H2 FWD they will understeer no matter what you do - drive the mini and do it in career so you get practice on all the different surfaces, even different dirt is different and you don't end up with weaknesses in wet vs dry) Also just ignore how you are placing. Just drive so you won't crash and keep getting faster as you improve. For AWD cars a couple more little "cheats" for people that aren't interested in really getting into it. (like me) If you want more turn - usually understeering on exit when you want to be on gas but have to lift or hit the handbrake to avoid going off check the front wheel camber - close to or slightly more negative than the rear wheel front diff - open it a click or two rear anti roll bar - harden it a click or two Qmass fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Mar 11, 2019 |

Qmass posted:It is all about left foot braking. Try moving the brake bias a click or two rear. This will increase the effect. Then drag the brake through the corner like they explain in the best video I watched getting into Dirt Rally 1 I'm still getting used to left foot breaking. I find myself just lifting off the gas most of the time I apply the brake. Every so often I'll manage to hit a turn perfectly then crash at the next because I'm trying to figure out just what I did differently.

Season 1 dropped today, although it looks like its bugged. Me and many other users report that the new content is not available. I guess a fix will be out soon-ish. Also, since we have a Codemaster guy here, do you know if the community events are auto generated or curated? Eight out of fourteen community events are for the H1 FWD class today, which is way too much. The H1 FWD class is my least favorite class, apart from maybe the R2s. I guess its to facilitate new players, but IMO they teach new players all the wrong skils. They are so reliant on maintaining momentum to set a decent time, rather than teaching slow in fast out and throttle control. I have more serious crashes in H1s than Group Bs as I try to eek out any corner speed possible.

I noticed all the H1 FWD stuff too, seems really weird. I like that class though, so I don't mind too much. Of course, my horrific crashes happen in the faster classes  Got my first R5 car - was planning on the Polo, but test drove everything a couple times and got the Peugeot 208. Car is smooooooooooth.

Dirt 2: Whoever decided you can't use a car for a community event if you're currently involved in a championship (not a rally, a loving championship) should be fired. That makes zero sense and is unnecessarily punishing. The game's already awfully grindy, but to have to buy 2 of the same drat car just to participate in an event without having to abandon your current championship is just... what the gently caress were they thinking?

Hey codezombie I've had the audio glitch in DR2 happen more frequently over the past couple of days, after not having any problems for about a week. It doesn't seem to be limited to any particular location or car; today it happened during the community challenge event in Argentina with the Citroen, but I have had it happen in NZ and Australia during career rally. Sometimes going back to the menu after finishing the stage will fix it, but not all the time. I tried changing each one of the audio settings in the settings menu to try and get it working again but none of it helped. After it happened this time I started recording a video of what it sounds like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgMVPPlv_wM It returned to normal after I quit back into the main menu that time. Let me know if there's anything else I can give you to narrow it down...

I just hit the audio bug for the first time today and man it REALLY stung. Totally pulled me out when I was in the middle of a tricky corner and I went flying into a tree, there goes my whole rally  Managed to get it working again by fiddling with the menu a few times, but man, that does suck. While it was going it was basically completely silent, although on the menu screen if I tried to select different things, it would make a weird crackle static sound each time I changed the menu option. Weird that other sounds were just muted but the menu sounds were instead distorted massively. Dunno if that helps at all with troubleshooting.

So whoever suggested the Mini Cooper for starting out with seriously: Thanks. I redid the first part of the historic H1 cars and did way better. Still only got like 13th on average but It was a lot more controllable. It was talked about before here but I really wish there were a "playground" mode. Like a Rally School skidpad or a loop with each type of turn so I can just keep trying the same turns. But, learn by playing, etc.

I think I'm sort of answering the question you already answered yourself, but I always start out doing the daily and weekly challenges for spending money while I start the low level career stuff - almost like the career mode is secondary. I haven't finished my first career event yet, but I've earned well north of $1 million so far. That being said, I've never been super focused on the career aspect of the game, but I love the dailies, etc. The car being tied up in other races is definitely weird,though. I guess they want to encourage people to try other cars, but that seems especially strange considering the cost of having 2 of whatever car is.

Plus since the events are random, sometimes all the races are the same car class like the other day, sometimes they're only in classes you don't have cars for yet, its just kinda frustratingly restrictive. They should really let you race in events you don't have a car for with a loaner, but you lose a cut of the winnings. I'm almost positive Dirt Rally 1 let you do that? Maybe I'm thinking of another game.
