One of my proudest moments was when my wife and I were moving cross-country, towing a trailer, and I accidentally drove us into a narrow dead end at a KOA. Instead of backing out, I three-point turned us around by tucking the trailer between a pair of motorhomes. My wife was like, "how the gently caress did you learn how to do that?", and I told her I'd played a lot of Euro Truck 2

There's something about Reiza's continued existence that makes people on RD real mad, I can only assume it's the people who constantly banged the "Stock Car Extreme is just an rFactor mod" drum never letting go of that weird hangup and now moving to "AMS2 is just a Project Cars mod" because Sad Shed Boy made that the title on his first video of the game.

I agree, it's really cool watching him real life racing, he was in the E sport thing a week ago on Sky that they had on because the real thing is cancelled and it was an oddly zen thing to watch. I like most of those guys, Jimmy, Malone, Billy Strange, Empty Box, they are all a good watch

Empty Box was cool until he went full pedant and Malone has always seemed smug to me--doubly so when he put his partner in YouTube thumbnails for clicks.

I've just picked up Dirt Rally 2.0 which was on sale the other day. I played 1 when it came out on my DFGT but very casually. Is there anything I should look out for, or essential settings to change when setting up my wheel with it? Just want to make sure I'm not doing something dumb. Dirt and ETS are pretty much the only games I've played with the wheel so any advice would be very cool! Also if people think it's good to go just with a quick calibration then I'd be happy with that too.

Might be an unpopular oppinion, but I think faster steering/limiting rotation is beneficial in Dirt Rally. More than 540 degrees is going to have you sawing at the wheel a lot. I run 200 degrees, but thats pretty extreme. I think most of the top guys are in the 270-360 range.

I think most people run less rotation in rally games, 450 to 540 seems to be the sweet spot.

I run 270 because that’s about the limit of turning without taking my hands off the wheel. That’s key when you only have paddle shifters. If you have an actual shifter it’s less important. Who’s out there running sims with a suicide knob? Has to be someone

I decided to get a refund for AMS2 after about an hour of driving. It's probably perfectly fine, but I've gotten so used to the physics/FFB of Assetto Corsa that anything else just feels weird*. And I decided that AMS2 doesn't offer me anything that AC doesn't already do well enough. If I was really into endurance racing with variable weather, then I'd probably have kept it. e: * It's not the first time I've experienced this. Years ago I found that anything that wasn't Grand Prix Legends was practically unplayable. I found it very hard to get on with AC at first, for that very reason. It was only when I got VR that it won me over. Steen71 fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Apr 3, 2020 |

I have been learning how to build tracks for Assetto Corsa and my first major attempt is the 1990-1991 streets of Denver temporary street circuit and I’m really happy hotlapping it in an IndyCar (the VRC Formula1 NA 1999 is really good) but I recorded my own AI line for it and when I race against computer opponents they all crash into each other at turn one, every single one, completely plugging the corner (it’s a really narrow street circuit) It’s like the AI drivers are completely ignoring the walls and are just trying to cut the corners by going through the walls. I tried it with NA miatas and Toyota 86s too and they still just couldn’t drive the track. I don’t know what to do to make the AI know they can’t go through walls. Anyone here done any AC track modding know what I’m missing? Here's the track if anyone wants to take a look. It's not pretty. textures are pretty low-res and I've still got a little bit of work to do on smoothing out the track. All the buildings are either from a sketchup model of downtown denver or prefabs. Elevation data is from google maps. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1sYqw8UAmWeWOyCsVSaiZr_PiUoEEcLvd GutBomb fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Apr 4, 2020 |

Go to Racedepartment, the modders there will probably be happy to help you out or maybe you even get someone to do the AI lines for you  Aside from the overall low texture quality (WIP, I get it) I think the road surface needs some physical texture, i.e. give me a bump here and there to create distinct markers aound the track. Also maybe break up the endless barriers, have a sideroad come in and the barriers there be a way back so I can eke out a feet or two of track on a corner exit, that's always fun (for me).

GhostDog posted:Go to Racedepartment, the modders there will probably be happy to help you out or maybe you even get someone to do the AI lines for you I actually figured it out last night. I found a tool that allows you to draw track limits with a car by driving the track just like you do the AI line. I put them about two feet inside the barriers and it fixed the AI. The 1991 race there is actually on YouTube and they had a turn one lap one incident pretty similar to what I was experiencing As for the barriers, that’s actually how the real track was. I’ll be putting ad boards on them to make them a bit more visually appealing eventually. You’re right about the roads being too smooth. I see the cars in the race bumping around a lot more than mine do in game. I wish Assetto Corsa has rolling starts.

Saw this and thought it was a very interesting court decision that could potentially change the face of racing sim development https://www.gtplanet.net/call-of-duty-legal-victory-20200403/ the tl;dr of this is that the car manufacturer AM General sued Activision for not asking permission to have their military vehicles in Call of Duty series. Activision argued in court that what they did was artistic expression with the sole purpose of creating a realistic simulation of warfare. The U.S. court accepted this argument and that it fell under Activisions 1st amendment rights. So what this ruling essentially establishes in my opinion, is that game developers of any kind, do not necessarily need to ask permission and pay very costly fees for licensing. As much as I don't like Activision, I see this as a win for game development. The one catch to this is that the use of a car manufacturers logos may not hold up. But I think the courts explanation on their ruling possibly covers this? In that since Activision is not in the business of physically selling cars, its a moot point and they are okay to do this. They don't have the AM General logo in their games though for what that is worth. I said come in! fucked around with this message at 00:40 on Apr 8, 2020 |

The key part is that Call of Duty never explicitly used copyrighted logos, just the obvious shape of the car in a way that made it very obvious what it was. So basically they were doing the same thing sim racing devs have been doing for years and years, the military equivalent of stuff like the Boxer Cup car in Automobilista 1 which is not at all a Porsche 911 Cup car except in every way. Ultimately having the logo is a core part of the car to a lot of people, and to sim racing devs especially so is having that relationship and access to stuff like telemetry data and CAD models which you don't need if you're just using a car shape for what is otherwise set dressing or a functionally generic military transport.

I don't see it being possible for racing games to be able to pull the same stunt. Call of Duty wants to create a realistic looking war game, and that involves doing what's already legal for racing games, making a generic vehicle that looks just like what the military uses. Racing sim fans want the actual car with the name and everything. Not to mention that Activision doesn't sell hummer DLC, whereas racing games do sell DLC where you can buy cars. Call of Duty is a grey area where they can argue that having a hummer in their game is something they had to do to make it realistic, and they aren't specifically making money off that brand. But selling an Alfa Romeo 4C Spider in your game is very clearly making money off Alfa's brand.
