That might be the issue, but no other title has this problem (iRacing/AC/ACC/F1 on PC, GT7 and Dirt 2 on PS5). Frustrating but I hear so much good about it lately I might try again. e; Actually I didn't think about the switch being an issue until I typed this out - I'm probably going to give that a shot. squirrelzipper fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Jan 11, 2024 |

Before you change that stuff try plugging the usb switch into a usb 2.0 port on your PC if you're currently plugging it into a 3.0+. Don't ask why.

This might be more appropriate for the iRacing thread but, I gave it a 2 year long fair shake, and I just don't understand the handling. Everyone else seems to enjoy it so much and I want to but, unlike every other sim where I'm mild to moderately competitive, I just end up in passenger slides every time I try to push. Finding the limit of grip seems more like a series of trial and error 1x offtracks, and less like driving any other sim. I am willing to shoulder the responsibility for this as it seems to be a me problem, but I just thought I'd stick a differing opinion into the mix.

I've started playing WRC a bit over the last few days after having some annoying tech issues with it on initial release and deciding to wait for a few patches and when it finally clicked a bit for me it got so fun. The risk vs reward when it comes to deciding when to really push feels so much different from circuit racing and I feel like I am flailing around like a madman half the time and barely keeping myself from crashing, it rules.

Thanks for the AMS2 advice, got everything working and like I'd heard the VR and single player is great. Just did a 40 minute time accelerated Le Mans 24 with 12 LMDH and 19 GT3 cars in VR with variable weather. Ton of fun. Drives a bit different from other titles I've been spending time in (AC, ACC, GT7) but not so different I couldn't adjust. Visually very nice in VR, GT7 is still the prettiest girl in the room but I've been impressed with how other titles perform in VR with tweaks (Pure in AC, FOV tweaks in ACC) and AMS2 looked great. Also - can every other developer adopt the VR "look cursor" that AMS2 has? Like holy poo poo that's useful, particularly since most titles don't support VR controls and having to use a mouse with a headset on is a huge PITA. AMS2 is quirky though - in a good way, just such an odd assortment of cars. I'm not really into GT3/4 here as that's what ACC does well, and I have AC for free roam/touge, so having all these retro Formula cars and oddballs is kind of cool. And my NLR racing fixed seat for my wheel stand just shipped (ordered in early Nov.) so I am almost complete rig wise. (As soon as it arrives Logi will launch a GT wheel with 4 rotary encoders and a proper shifter for the PRO line). e; iRacing is a bit off for me, I have a code but haven't redeemed yet since I have so much content between AC/ACC LFM and single player. I will hunt iGoons down once I get there tho. If you haven't tried it yet and you have AC the LFM races are really good and varied. Did the MX5 cup around Hockenheim tonite and it's such a fun race as is the F3 at Zandvoort. There's LMP3, VRC, Cupra TCR, and other events. It's good fun and was clean even down in the bottom split where us slow pokes are. squirrelzipper fucked around with this message at 07:03 on Jan 13, 2024 |

I've done plenty of mx-5 in AC and can whip it around cota and zandvoort without losing the rear tires. In iracing if I miss the brake pressure by a little bit, or pump a little too much gas through a turn, I lose the entire car. Again, I think my next step is to remove all traction control and abs from AC and then compare. Iracing feels punishing for both.

Yeah if you've been driving with assists on in AC it's naturally going to feel harder in iRacing when all that stuff is stripped away.

The only allowed driver assists in an MX5 is ABS brakes and a torsen diff

I ran multiple seasons of f3, gt4 and Porsche cup, all of which should have a reasonable amount of grip. I maintained around 1600-2k irating, which isn’t great but not the worst. It was almost always in braking zones, or into the entry of corners while trail breaking. Almost like the brake balance was off, but I could never get it dialed in. I’m having a blast with lfm on ac though.

I think there's something fundamentally off about iRacing. I raced it for a couple of years too. Got a perfect safety rating and won races, but I never really enjoyed the handling. Compare something like the Lotus 49 in AC and iRacing. In AC it's perfectly driveable at a moderate pace and only becomes difficult when you're going fast. In iRacing I could barely keep it on track. (And I did a 7:55 in GPL around Nordschleife... Erm, some 20 years ago.) To be fair, it's been a couple of years, and I know they've updated iRacing's tire model (probably multiple times) and it's supposed to be much better, but now I just can't be bothered to go back.

VelociBacon posted:We have so many TCR lovers for iracing too, gt4/lmp3 is an official race format.. we even do unaccelerated le mans! Yeah the iRacing pricing model grates on me a bit, it's odd because after what I've spent on hardware it's not that big a deal but I feel like it nickel and dimes people and prevents exploration and experimentation. It's not a huge deal but given the AC races on LFM I'm seeing I guess I just don't see a compelling reason to go with iRacing. Plus it looks like microwaved butt comparatively imo, it's not the worst but it is kind of dated. We'll see - the fact that AC is mostly mod content and LFM is basically a free 3rd party service with no accountability also carries a lot of baggage. e; on topic been playing AMS2 SP - it's very good in VR, the glance menu thing is awesome. Formula cars without abs are fun - it's cool to actually see the wheels lock as you slide to your death lol njsykora posted:Yeah if you've been driving with assists on in AC it's naturally going to feel harder in iRacing when all that stuff is stripped away. MX-5 cup cars in AC on LFM have no assists other than what is available in the actual cars ircc.

With iRacing you're paying for the multiplayer experience / community, the infractructure and the further development of the game. If all you want to do is race cool cars on cool tracks and you're happy racing VS AI there's literally no point paying for iRacing, despite the fact that it CAN do those things (and do them well) you may as well buy them standalone on AC or some other sim.

I love iRacing but it definitely isn't for everyone. And I reckon with Assetto Corsa 2 coming this year (?) everyone will have a nice new and up to date modding platform for years and years to come. (They confirmed they are using their own tech again instead of Unreal) So that will be cool even if I never really got into it myself. I am still very surprised by the fact that iRacing announced they are working on a full blown singleplayer mode with progression. I'm not sure how the hell that will work given the structure of content purchases and so on.

Just have to spend the time smacking into things until you stop smacking into things The real answer is you need to identify some points on the car that you can call “the edge” and work on how close you can get the edge to things before it makes contact.

The game shipped with modding tools, including a WYSIWYG asset importer. Their website lists modding as a selling point: "Assetto Corsa features a modding editor that enables drivers to fully customize their driving experience. The game comes with an innovative app-based overlay system, allowing users to choose which information to display on their screens. Its high level of simulation and customizable options make it a popular choice among esports organizers, car manufacturers, and simulator makers for various applications through the AC PRO program." Wikipedia also says they initially wanted to develop on Unity but decided to use custom tech instead over concerns of moddability. Unfortunately the primary sources are in italian, otherwise I'd cite those.

Just time on track to get used to it or is there a trick/tips? I find using rumble strips or grass is a good way to sus out where the tires are, drive real slow and edge onto the curb to get a sense for where they are in relation to the drivers seat. Then its just seat time until it feels natural.
