So some boxes were waiting on my doorstep yesterday...



:getin:

Currently it's just clamped to the ghetto seat rig Nullvalue built for the MS wheel, but a new cockpit is in the works.

The shifter is way floppy on the stock mounts, I keep money shifting 4>3 instead of 4>5 because of that, but I wasn't planning on using the stock mount for long anyways.

The general build quality and feel of the force feedback is immensely better than the MS wheel (no shock there) even though ours is modified and reinforced to a significant level over stock.

I put about 40 minutes in to FM4 late last night and I'm already entirely happy with this. 900 sure is interesting to recover from slides, that'll require a lot of re-learning if I insist on using it since my typical driving style is a rather tail-happy.

Overall well worth the cost. If you can find a MS wheel for under $100 it's still a great bargain, especially with the bearing mod and longer screws in the bearing mount, but this is an entirely different world.

Whatup ghetto seat rig buddy

At least one of those Ferraris transferred over if you imported your Forza 3 profile and had them in your FM3 garage.

I really like that car and I like that paint, but if I may be so bold as to offer some advice, I'd swap out that yellow for something else, it dosent seem to go with the rest of the car.

Hi there, I'm Basticle (GT Basticular) and I run Club [PA], from the Penny Arcade forums. Like I told GentlemanofLeisure I was inspired to come up with this, strangely, by the Ping Pong tournaments the guys behind Penny Arcade play against other Seattle game companies. They have a mini tournament within their company before each match to determine rankings and they face off against the guy whos ranked the same on the other team and then tally up individual wins to determine which team wins the match.

Without further ado,

Club [PA] versus Club [AUGR] One on One Tournament

Our two clubs will face off against each other in a best of seven tournament.

Each club will determine their seven best drivers and rank them 7 through 1. Each driver will face off against their counterpart from the other club.

Each club can determine their internal rankings as they see fit. Wheather it is an intra-squad tournament or a vote or whatever is up to you.

The fourteen total drivers will assemble in a lobby at a predetermined time. Only the two drivers of a given rank will race at the same time, the other drivers will spectate.

Each individual competition will be a best two of three heats. Each heat will be 5 minutes on a Timed Race. This setting will remove the small advantage of the car who starts ahead of the other as scoring is based on distance travelled, not who crosses the line first.

After the first heat, a second will be run. If a driver has won both of them than we will move on to the next round. If the heats are tied one to one then a third will be run to determine that round's winner.

After all seven rounds of competition, whichever club has won the most rounds will be determined the overall winner.


The Races

Each individual competition will be with a specific car and track in increasinly faster cars. Upgrades and tuning will be set to stock. This is to make a level playing field.

Each club is encouraged to paint their cars however they see fit though having a uniform club livery would be nice ;)

(I tried to go for some variety of types of cars. Also DLC cars were specifically avoided. Also I have been called a monster by my own clubmembers.)

I just re-read my post and realized I had listed the lobby settings set to allow upgrades and tuning. I fixed it but I figure everyone saw that we were running stock cars so :downs:

Sep 12, 2011


IMO assists actually give you slower lap times so it dosent really matter. The only one I think that is contensious is racing line and both GentlemanofLeisure and I agreed to keep it as several racers in both our clubs apparently use it.

*edit* proabbly should disable traction control for the Ultimate Aero lol.....

The rules are not 100% set in stone and I am up for suggestions.

Just so there is no confusion, I edited my post to have the lobby rules disallow TCS and STM, which, quite frankly I meant to do in the first place but missed that when I made my post.

Are there any rules in place as far as clean vs dirty laps are concerned?

uh, no specific rules but I would think most people would not intentionally go off course but hey it is the Alps, so whatever

The Audi is actually a lot better to drive than I expected. However, the guy I'm racing is roughly the same speed as someone I'm familiar with so looks like ill have my hands full.

I find this amusing as ebo is a recovering Gran Turismo player and has only had Forza since January. Hes gone from awful to kicking most of our asses in 5 months.

A few times in the past ive done a hot lap in a car (that i tuned to my preferences of course) on a particular track and put that car in the club garage. Then challenfed my club to race against my ghost on the leaderboards with the vague hope of winning a prize there was no prize.

Basticle

Awwww poo poo yah, can Club [PA] submit times?

P.S. instead of seperate leaderboards could you put a notation (or extra columns on your spreadsheet) showing if the driver used controller/180 degree wheel/900 degree wheel, normal/sim steering, TCS, ABS etc. (The driver wojld have to tell you obviously) ?

You guys are more than welcome to race with Club [PA]. We race on Tuesdays and Thursdays usually starting round 8:30-9pm est. This week we're finishing up a multi-week season but next week is gently caress-around time. Tuesdays we usually do random stuff, next Thursday IIRC we're doing C Class Smart Cars.

I was thinking i only had like 85ish people on my friends list so thats strange. Also you can still join on me by looking at my profile on whacubed's friends list.

You missed out, I loaded up a lobby setting I made a couple of years ago called "Hypercar vs Malaise"

D class 77-89 American cars vs R3 supercars in a bucket that starts 20 secends later. You quickly learn true terror.

Please tell me you ran that setting on Top Gear Full. The crossover becomes tons of fun after a couple laps.

Of course we did, although the terrible handling of the malaise cars ended up being more of ahazard to us than the R3 cars.
