So I'm trying to begin playing without ABS on the controller. What's the right way to brake? Pulse rapidly? This isn't easy  .

Out of curiosity, how long did it take you guys to get good with the wheel? I'm running 1:50s dirty right now, none clean so far. This is the first time I've ever played Forza with a wheel and it's fantastic. I went back and played Forza 3 for a bit, starting off from the beginning. No assists except for the clutch so I can learn how to play it properly. I found the foam underneath the brake helps a ton. It makes for a more realistic feel and it's easier to prevent the brakes from locking.

Day Man posted:The answer doesn't change, sadly. They have traction control as an assist, and it's not individually modeled for each car. I've been curious about this too. I'm not sure cars like the McLaren, 599, etc are really meant to be driven with the TCS completely off. My guess is that the traction control/stability control are just set for each car however, and the car with them turned off is close to how it was originally modeled, which was probably with some sort of electronic aid?

Day Man posted:Yes. My enjoyment went up immensly when I switched from the old MS wheel. 5 dollars per hour of entertainment isn't that bad, really, and your play time is likely to go up with a new wheel and all the rivals mode awesomeness. Don't tell me this. How is the fanatec better than the MS wheel?

Protip: if you're playing soccer against hummers, don't choose the Toyota aygo because you think it'll be more nimble/able to get around better. You're just going to end up 10 feet in the air every. loving. Time. Even still, awesome playing with you guys. Cat and mouse was a ton of fun and I'm looking forward to some awesome racing.

Adding to the voices saying to get used to it. I just got a Microsoft wheel this past Sunday. It's taken a couple days, and I started out from the beginning in F-class with all the assists off, but now I can't see myself going back and I've moved on up to A/B cars, and can at least make my way around the track in an S-car.

Out of curiosity, are you guys racing the R cars without assists as well? I'm getting to the A races and I have to say, it's starting to get tempting to turn on ABS at least.

One more month until I'm completely out of my cast/boot and hopefully recovered from surgery. Then it'll be back to Forza for the first time since January.  On the bright side, I'm beginning freedom with a 1200 mile road trip on my way back with a new (to me) car.

IOwnCalculus posted:Surgery is no excuse, racing on percocet is fun (and a great example of why actually driving on it would be bad)! I've had my right ankle hurt since May 2011, and been in/out of a boot since then. Surgery was the last resort. Driving with a controller seems so dirty. Ether Frenzy posted:Ouch. No Forza on top of surgery is a drag. Bought/buying a 2010 VW GTI, tuned with a Stage 1 chip.  It's currently in Texas and I'll be driving it to start my new job in Madison, Wisconsin. I've never driven through that part of the Midwest so I'm thinking of doing a thread but I'm guessing the views aren't going to be super exciting.

Oh, I didn't know you could do that. Thanks for the tip! My plan right now is to save up a bunch of podcasts, buy a spotify subscription, and try to bang the trip out in 2 days (3 max). It seems reasonable right now.

Ether Frenzy posted:I'm actually flying into Madison tonight for a little vacationing. It's a great town, you should enjoy working there. Tons of great food, I hope you plan on doing a lot of exercising to counter the deep fried everything. Thanks for the tips! Before my injury I ran marathons/raced bikes, so I'm hoping to at least get back to one of those two when I'm in Madison. I've gotten that impression from my searches and finding that they use a lot of LIDAR around Madison/Wisconsin in general. Thanks for the heads up.

xzzy posted:I have the clutch set to the B button on my MS wheel, it's not as graceful as I would prefer because it obligates me to keep my thumb over the button which is a non-standard driving grip, but I can tap it plus a paddle shifter without too much trouble. Yeah, this is what has stopped me from going manual w/clutch with my MS wheel. I'm not willing to give up how well the wheel works for some annoying clutch button.
