I'm planning to get Fanatec CLS pedals with Load Cell kit, or go for something like G29? I sorta want clutch for "immersion" since i'm building DIY h-shifter. if you don't drop a grand on heusinkveld ultimate+ pedals you might as well not race at all

People on the iracing forums hate anything that could possibly help someone that isn't 100% accurate and also does not affect them in the slightest. If you post anything online with an audience someone somewhere will be leaping to their keyboard to let you know what a stupid loving idea it is shortly afterwards.

Heh, you weren't kidding about locking your chair to the rig. That CSL LC Break pedal is Stiff. Now I just need to adjust my brain to figure out breaking with pressure, instead of well angle of my foot? Still missing breaking points and messing up everything, but somehow I feel that I much more in control.

Night and day. Super happy that I got them. Takes a while to get used to it but once it clicks it feels like magic compared to how frustrating braking used to be for me. Don't get me wrong, I am still bad. But getting the car to turn into corners etc feels so much more intuitive now.

I was painfully slower when I first got my LC brake, took me a day or two to really start feeling it. Totally worth it though.

I was never fast to begin with, but when I switched to a LC pedal I felt so much more in control in every corner that it was like night and day.

I think within a day of switching, once I remembered to set the curve in iRacing to linear, I was half a second faster.

When I switched to LC brakes from the G29 brakes I was pretty much the same speed for the first bit but I think it would have really prevented me from getting any better/pushing lap times. It's the difference between being able to be right at the limit of adhesion (on non-ABS cars) and having to compromise to avoid locking up. The wheel upgrade from G29 into a proper fanatec product may have increased my enjoyment the most, but the brakes absolutely had a way bigger impact on my performance.

njsykora posted:You have the right idea to turn off the racing line, learning tracks by yourself and finding your own braking points and lines will make you faster long term. Progression isn't really a thing in modern sim racing, every game that's tried it in the past has generally just had it modded out almost immediately so now you're just given a pile of content and told to go nuts. Most games these days are tuned for Logitech wheels right out the box since they're the most popular so don't worry too much about FFB, though look up how to check for FFB clipping in various games and make sure you're not putting too much force into it. Button mapping the only things I'd make sure are set correctly are pit speed limiters and Most games now also have a "real" setting for ABS and TC since a lot of real world racing cars have them, so I'd recommend that because driving a GT3 car with ABS and TC disabled is neither fun nor realistic. Championships are really all you're going to find for major single player content, ACC has various real world GT championships since it's the licensed SRO GT game, Automobilista has the Stock Car Brasil license so has the complete real world championship for those alongside some others and a custom championship tool. VelociBacon posted:Welcome to the hobby! Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. I've spent some more time in AMS and ACC, but I'll give iRacing a look. I think my physical positioning is kinda funky with my pedals in relation to my feet. I keep hitting the clutch every so often as I brake, so I just removed the pedal plate from it for now as I just focus on shifting with automatic clutch. Might try and find a used seat + stand.

That game and it's forced esports presence is a marketing vehicle for F1 (no pun intended) so I find it hard to get too excited about the cheating stuff. Do any professional drivers (F1 ones included) actually show up in those races like they do in iracing? Like on their own time.

The esports series isn't for the actual series drivers, it's basically for the team's simulator drivers and to find new ones. So there is actual work done by the people who race in it, not on the actual F1 games though. Some of the people in it have gone on to full driver academy places as well.

Codemasters is a very show up for work, do the bare minimum, and then call it a day developer. They are not going to see any of this or make necessary changes. They don't care.

It would not be terribly hard to have a proper cheat detection for e-sport matches, it just means you need to send control inputs to the server and have it run it's own local copy of the physics models and log discrepancies. It wouldn't change anything for clientside really, doesn't even need to be realtime as such. It's not really viable for normal MP since it takes significant server horsepower to run and will have some degree of false positives but for e-sports it's not all that hard.

Anticheat, kernel level or not, won't do much for esports, there is enough at stake that circumventing it is worth it. But again, you can log inputs and run verification on them, a low fidelity version of that is used to provide replays already. It would stop internal game state cheating pretty dead, at least for competitions where they can actually be bothered to run it.

Lol none of the actual F1 drivers touch the F1 game unless they’re getting paid to do it for marketing. Iracing is where you’ll see F1 drivers

At no point did I start to examine the market for beginner racing seats, and scoured the classified to see if there was a good deal or looked at buying new. I absolutely did not find an old pair of shoes that most resemble a racing shoe to give my feet a bit of support, as I spend hours in Asetto switching between GT3 cars on Brands Hatch and an incredibly detailed reproduction of the SF-23 2023 F1 Ferrari on Spa learning where to lift and where to be brave and keep it floored, only to bin it at the last corner. None of this ever happened and has not sucked all my spare time away from me as I ponder how many thousands I can spend here..

I've seen things you wouldn't believe. Pricey pedals and wheels that gleam like gold in the dark. I've watched rigs come together, built on the backs of credit cards and empty wallets. All those dreams and sacrifices will be lost in time, like pit stops in a race. Time to budget.

Finally got a close friend to buy a wheel to play some DR2. Are there any fun driving sims for two players online? We could hotlap in Assetto Corsa or iracing, but are there other options I might not be considering? I see on steam that Snowrunner has a coop mode for example; is that fun?

Co-op Snowrunner is always a good time, though I've never played it with a wheel. There's also the various multiplayer mods for Euro/American Truck Simulator.

Snowrunner is excellent and much better co-op, but in no world would I recommend playing it in first person with a wheel unless you're a masochist. You simply need the visibility of 3rd person to deal with all the buggy terrain. Some people (lunatics) seem to enjoy it though, so give it a shot I suppose!

Now that the Fanatec CSL DD has been out for a while, have there been any widespread issues identified with it? I'm thinking of ebaying all of my T300RS stuff and picking one up. My only hesitation is the Thrustmaster has been dead-on reliable for like 5 years now for me and I'd rather not downgrade in that regard.
