The more I try to enjoy it the more the engine sounds in Assetto Corsa Competizione sound like sad trombones

Dangit, that's what I just recently paid for a G29 and I was thinking about starting iRacing again, so I check the thread and find that getting back into iRacing wasn't my first bad decision.

Give yourself time. You will not be fast on the wheel right away, and it will take you a week or more to catch back up to the times you were setting on whatever device you were using before. People just expect to be fast right away on wheels and that’s not how it works. Also take some time to perfect your setup. Try to get yourself positioned realistically or as realistically as you can from the wheel on the screen. It helps you judge distance. Unless you’re jumping right into VR in which case

Good to have a realistic expectation, cause yeah, I expected to be faster than I am with my controller. I'm worried about positioning because I play games on my sofa, but I can get in pretty close and have a 55" curved TV, so that may work okay. I wish I had VR, that would be sweet. I'll have to just do the best I can to get myself positioned properly. Maybe just drive nothing but Lincoln Towncars so my sofa seems accurate... Right now I just have dirt rally and forza 4, so I'll be looking to get a better sim in the near future. Maybe assetto corsa before the steam sale ends. Anyways, pretty psyched to finally be giving this a shot. I hope I like it enough to spend tons of money on it! Edit: should I get the ultimate edition of assetto corsa for $19 or just the base version for $7? Jewce fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Jul 8, 2019 |

With the wheel powered up, simultaneously press the ST and Mode buttons for a few seconds, then let go. The LED will flash twice indicating that Forced Cooling Mode is active. Basically, it just keeps the internal fan running all the time when the wheelbase is powered up. This may or may not help prevent the wheelbases internals from overheating, but it never hurts to have more cooling.

If you mount it to a metal rig, make sure it's grounded. Since the power supply doesn't have an earth ground, even a little bit of exposure to static will murder the T300.

Also unplug it when you’re not using it. Mine is going on two years strong with no issues, but it’s a well known thing that the t300rs does not like static shocks to its guts.

Thanks for the help everyone! I'll be sure to turn on forced cooling. I did read that so appreciate the instructions on how to do it. I'm just gonna get the deluxe assetto corsa cause it's only $12 and I already understand that's nothing for this hobby. Pretty nervous about the metal rig thing. How do I ground it? I was planning on getting the gt omega stand which is definitely metal...

Get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Turntable-Cu...=gateway&sr=8-4 Find a screw on the metal stand you can put the spade connector on, plug the banana plug into a free ground on an outlet. E: I am assuming american style outlet. not sure about options for other connectors. you can always get a spade/spade wire and just hit the screw on the outlet cover

Wow that was 5 years ago? You could probably rescue both of those by disassembling and cleaning, maybe replacing a carbon pad or two. Unless it’s plastic that’s broken, then it might not be worth it to fix, but new carbon pads would be less than a dollar.

Borrowed a brand new unopened T500RS from work this week and man I've missed having a wheel for playing games. Wheel feels pretty drat solid in a bit of quick testing with it yesterday. Though I'm not digging the fact the paddles don't rotate with the wheel and while playing Dirt 2.0 yesterday I kept having to let go of the wheel mid-turn to downshift out of turns. Felt really weird and wrong.

They're pretty similar but each does certain things slightly better here and there. You're also gonna get pretty different responses from different people. PC2 better graphics maybe? AC1 better AI? Maybe ever so slightly better handling in AC1. But then more single-player stuff in PC2?

If the interface is better in PC2 I'll get it just for that, the AC interface feels like it's from the 90s.

Yeah I can't play AC because of the interface honestly, especially in VR its just like, unusable. My biggest gripe with PCars 2's menu is one that I have with most racing games; they don't let you remap the "yes" and "no" menu buttons. And the defaults for my wheel suck. You can keybind eeeeeeverything else, there's like 4 pages of keybinds, but not the menu buttons.

I still play Dirt Rally 2 every couple of days. Wales is nice, even if its exactly the same layout as DR1. The improved lighting and weather effects makes a massive difference, especially coming in and out of the forest.

I think it's worth having P Cars 2 because it does stuff you can't get anywhere else on PC, day night / weather / dynamic track all in one place and done pretty well overall. It's got issues but honestly it's still fun and can be excellent at times. The main draw for AC for me is mods, 1960s F1 around historic Monaco, poo poo like that, but P Cars holds its own there too with historic Spa, Monza etc and an ok selection of older cars. I like it now more than I did when it was new, I've found out what itches it scratches I think.

I liked how the cars drove in PCars 1 better than AC. Something about AC felt really off. Like the cars had less traction for no reason.

I have a mouse next to my wheel and it's perfect, I am a fan of AC's menu although I can understand why not everyone is. I like browsing for lobbies etc out of the headset and have never had any issues with it at all. With the Rift S it's better browsing lists in the headset but I still like the downtime from having it on my head so I can grab a drink or whatever while I seek out races / change settings.

I'm new to non-arcadey racers with a wheel setup and about to start playing F1 2019. Any advice on which assists are worth leaving on while getting familiar with the game? Eventually I want to get going without any assists but I don't know if it's worth jumping in headfirst with no assists on and crashing until I figure it out or if it's better to gradually turn off assists as I go. I've played around a bit with the assists and one of them is pretty severe with braking before the turns without any brake pedal input at all. It's weird but I get it being there to prevent people from barreling into a corner and going off the track constantly.

Definitely turn off braking assist, its too much of a crutch. Turn traction control as low or off if you can handle it. The way I do it is no assists, but if I gently caress up then I can rewind. Also turn on the full racing line during practice and learn the track using it, but then turn it off for the race.

I am having absolutely no success getting my wheel to work properly with the PC version of F1 2019. I have a Thrustmaster T300. It works correctly on other PC games like Forza Horizon 4 but in F1 I get no force feedback and the wheel doesn't return to center or have any resistance at all. In settings menus on the PC (not in game, but outside of the game through Control Panel) I can test the force feedback and it all works correctly. In fact, until I start up the game the wheel functions with resistance like it should in game. I've tried uninstalling the wheel and reinstalling the drivers. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the game. I've tried playing the game with the switch set to both ps3 as is recommended for PC and set to ps4 with neither working correctly. I've turned the force feedback options on and off in game but nothing has changed the functionality of the wheel at all. I've looked around online but I don't see anyone else having a problem with the game. Any advice? I don't know what else to try.

Do you have some other third party thing open, like irFFB or something? irFFB does exactly what you described to mine and F1 works fine when I close it. It doesn't seem to affect every game, but F1 for sure.

I seem to remember some games didn't like to "initialize" the ffb. For iracing I usually had to fire up ETS first or I'd just have a wheel made of a big floppy donkey dick
