I’m waiting until stutters are sorted before setting up a championship in our club. One shots feel like they might be a bit unfair for people with bad stutters since they lead to awful crashes. Sorry your wheel was so much trouble. Mine all needed to have type specified and have everything configured, but I guess I sort of expect that with the weird-rear end hardware combo I use.

Eyud posted:WRC good Confirm after sorting out wheel issues... and staying up way too late finishing all the rally school (lol them not having an achievement for it), doing some time trial, and getting through the first career event. Definitely feels great compared to my futile attempts to learn Dirt Rally 2.0 with a wheel + VR after 100+ hours of it (and more OG Dirt Rally) with controller and no VR. Look forward to them sorting the stutters which for me seem to only happen like 3-4 times a stage when it hangs for like a second to keep loading the later bits but otherwise pretty smooth performance-wise having defaulted to ultra quality w/ 1440p. Also got a tad annoyed with the camera--in the absence of VR was using dashcam, but for the Lancia Fulvia it drops the dashcam below the wipers so most of your view is just filled with muddy windshield that can't be cleaned; sorted it though by switching to cockpit and just mashing the seat unreasonably forward/up to do my best Elfyn Evans impression of having my

The guy that made the telemetry patch for the previous WRC games updated it for EA's. I haven't tried it yet, but I will later after work. https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/wrc-telemetry-patch.38991/ Guessing it just fakes being Dirt Rally 2.0 like the previous variants did. Not perfect, but at least it's better than nothing. While I don't vouch that it won't destroy your computer and steal all your apes, it's been around and updated yearly for several years and nobody's said it's malicious.

Dang I only got a couple races in but WRC is fun as hell. Some stuttering going on that might be textures caching or something but I could also probably stand to bump the graphics down a touch.

If I want a handbrake in Norway from a trusted site I basically have to go for a $300+ thrustmaster thing or something like that.

They sell a handbrake for 130€ that seems pretty decent. I don't have one myself but after trying Dirt Rally 1 ages ago I kinda feel like I'll need one before I try any rallying again. Using a button for the handbrake really didn't do it for me.

With import taxes the price increases considerably. Norway is not kind if you want to shop internationally.

drat I might have to buy WRC, this is fun as gently caress. I always love how it feels like I'm going 150mph but then look at my speedometer and I'm going like 40 lol. Also I think I got DQ'd from the club tournament because I had to leave during the first race  Edit: vv Hooray! explosivo fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Nov 2, 2023 |

Brackit posted:we're not driving real cars Huge if true. WRC has also spurned my "should I get a handbrake and/or shifter" thoughts--was easy to put off alongside my other gear upgrades as long as I was mostly sticking to circuit racing. Personally have a hard time justifying the cost of either for what seems like a modest immersion boost (I guess maybe a bit higher if actually using H-pattern w/ appropriate vehicles but  ) and probably infinitesimal gains in performance--seems handy when you have a big crash/spin to get going again easier compared to flappy paddles that rotate with the wheel... "why is my gear going up!?" *wheel cranked over 180 degrees panicking trying to get back on stage as fast as possible*VelociBacon posted:How are you playing it without buying it?

I really would recommend the Fanatec handbrake, even with the extra cost it will be so much better than that piece of crap.

Buying a handbrake really does feel like the last finger losing its grip on the edge of the abyss. This is your life now. This is video games to you. I'll take a look at the Fanatec one.

Total cost ends up being something like $250, not taking into account that prices in general are different in the Norwegian economy and whatnot, and that kicks it up to "somewhere in the future" rather than "now", though I do think you're right.

There shouldn't be any import taxes outside of VAT should there? Either way it's better saving the ~€50 towards something good instead of setting it on fire for garbage.

At that point, this thing seems like a more attractive alternative, ending up at €168/$179 with a clamp included.

I was already using their Pit House software since I have the R9 base.

I wouldn't use the Fanatec clamp for the handbrake, it's way too much for what it is and you need the adapter on top of that. Just buy some wood/metal plating from your local hardware store and a couple of G clamps.

I'm not tall and I haven't used it personally. But I noticed that the Trak Racer TR80, the entire pedal mount looks to move independent of the uprights for the steering. In many other rigs, the pedals attach to the steering upright.

I think its more for fun and immersion than outright speed. I mostly use left foot braking to adjust angle and save the handbrake for the hairpins.
