It's sort of the spiritual predecessor, the original BeamNG team were all RoR developers or community members. It's an order of magnitude jankier and hasn't really seen much development since BeamNG's release, but it's free/open source and technically even has Mac/Linux support (though that was broken last time I looked). It still has some capabilities that BeamNG has not replicated, mostly in terms of more complicated vehicles with dozens of controllable parts. There's a whole fully functional mega-crane.

That said, Shutoko takes like 10 minutes to load the map, its kinda a mess. And its JUST the highway, you can't get off and drive around Tokyo or anything. So, cool, but with how narrow the highway is you gotta be careful you don't go too fast and there's not much to it after awhile. I want a street racing simulator so bad  VR Need for speed underground.

There's a few GPU optimizations hidden in the CSP settings that really helped. It was unplayable in VR for me on my 1080ti/OG Vive until I found them. Now I can run it (just) in VR on multiplayer and it is honestly amazing when the server is full. People start random roll races all the time and then pull into the parking lots for impromptu meets. It's the closest we're gonna get for a while.  Need For Speed will 100% be VR in the future when the tech goes mainstream. I cannot loving wait!!

I think that Ghostdog kinda sucked the air out of the room by dropping an encyclopedia's worth of good rear end recommendations, however I'm going to add one more to the pile: TRANSFAGARASAN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHlLy59480s https://www.simtraxx.net/shop/product/transfagarasan-romania-classic-ac-ultimate-edition/ There is a free version somewhere in there, but it is worth getting the one with traffic. They also have a version for beamng.

I went straight to Free Roam and ever since it's my dream open world rally/cruise sim with a brutally unforgiving and realistic damage model as a mere consequence of its nature. I'd also be lying if I said the thought of Euro Trucking hadn't already crossed my mind. I had been using Elite:Dangerous to scratch my trucking itch but now that I have this wheel I might try some terrestrial hauling. On that note, does anyone know if the wheel support in the original Spintires is worth a drat?

Added ACC, AMS2, Dirt Rally 2 and F1 2020 to the OP and revised the texts a tiny bit by making the shorter mostly. Left out pCars3 because from what I gather pCars2 is still the better fit for a PC racing thread? Gonna wait for WRC9 to come out before I add that series.

Bored and listening to podcasts, I decided to make a bit more of an effort with my mod post, here are my favorite mod tracks with links. I'm gonna link this post in the OP, if you wanna do your own posts with favorite mods I can link those too. Some of these tracks have several versions online, these should hopefully be the best and latest. Also some of these are mediafire links, those might always go...
Edit: For Bikernieki, try the High Speed Ring layout. Calabogie: Stadium. Horsma: Trophy. GhostDog fucked around with this message at 11:46 on Sep 5, 2020 |

Alrighty, got everything set up, Content Manager, Sol, the whole enchilada. I don't want to know how many hours I spent tweaking my .lut to perfection, but the end result was worth it. I used the same curve in BeamNG as well, which led to a couple additional hours of smashing the Tail of the Dragon in an F40 before I got back to Assetto. Thirteen GB of tracks downloaded later, I think it's time to rest before I begin filling my garage. Thanks for all the suggestions, in appreciation I give you this BeamNG trick landing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KoO-DYnKH8

Is tail of the dragon a default map in beam.ng? And the F40 for that matter. I've only played around with the vanilla stuff in that game and found the maps to be too small to really get lost in.

I get my Fanatec peddles today!  After thinking about it more, I think I want to just make the jump to a Fanatec steering wheel, but I need recommendations again on what to buy. My main requirement is that I be able to mount the base to a desk. Looking at spending around $600 - $700 for the total package? But less than that would be really nice, its just that looking at what Fanatec offers, it doesn't look like I can get below $600 for any wheel setup.

I said come in! posted:I get my Fanatec peddles today! For fanatec wheels there's just 3 things to look at, the CSL, The Clubsport, and the Direct Drive Podium. The third is insanely expensive so that's right out. The Clubsport is nice but the wheel base alone is basically gonna fill your budget. So its just a question of money. The CSL is still really good and then you have money left over to buy a nice steering wheel or shifter or whatever. Or maybe you decide its worth buying the Clubsport and you can save up and buy rims later or something. Up to you, but the three options are clearly divided by price, each is clearly better than the last but you gotta think about how much bang you're getting for your buck. Its not like one is better for X and the other is better for Y, that doesn't exist. You can buy a table clamp for any of them, the CSL may come with one? Not sure. The others don't.

The new CSL elite revision also comes with the same drive motor as the clubsport, just without the second drive belt and nicer metal casing. It's quite nice. Can confirm it comes with a table clamp as well.

I looked back 8 pages and didn't see an F1 2020 thread. I know it's not really a sim in the true sense of the word so sorry! I played it a bunch when it came out and was disappointed that my new xbox 1 controller didn't do anything fun with the trigger vibration/variable resistance if that exists. I chalked it up to just not being coded into the game or maybe because I'm on PC it wasn't working. I booted it up yesterday and crashed immediately because my triggers are dynamically vibrating now and maybe adjusting force resistance but I can't really tell. Was this just added? And yes I know gamepads are horrible for driving games but I don't have anything else.

Is WRC9 looking any good? Watched Jimmy's video and he seemed to like it. Visually it looks pretty boring compared to Dirt Rally 2 but it could be YouTube compression. I generally prefer the historical cars over modern WRC cars so I might wait till it gets a bit cheaper. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPsSLM2WYcg
