CaseFace McGee posted:And now it's been delayed until May. Sorry, but I've officially lost interest in this game until next winter when I hope to build my new computer. I might pick it up when it goes on the inevitable holiday sale, or I might just stick to iRacing, rF2 and AC. This game is a disaster. Last time I remember being excited for a game that kept getting delayed I ended up with GT5.

Mr SoupTeeth posted:Righteous, much obliged. I can't take a peek until I'm off work. As petty as it sounds, the seeming inability to get smooth gameplay with high end hardware has probably turned me off to the game more than the lack of content. If you're talking about AC then turning down reflections a tick made it much better for me.

ethanol posted:So was just taking a look at these... is this the first game that actually has a senna car in it? I remember hearing the devs say in F12013 how they couldn't get the rights for classic mode Gran Turismo 6 has a whole Senna mode. I don't know if it was the first, but it had one, and is likely what tied up the licensing so F12013 couldn't have it.

I need to tweak my force feedback settings I think. I've got the wheel weight feeling right but the vibration from bumps and kerbs could be higher. I can't really figure out what setting controls just the vibration force. I have tire force set to 200 in the calibration and force feedback set to 65 in the wheel sings and everything feels great except weak bumps and kerbs.

Norns posted:Honestly before I got my wheel calibrated correctly I kinda felt the same way. Once I did that, everything feels better than the games you listed. Can you post what your wheel settings are? Do you get vibration when you go off track from grass/sand/kerbs? I love this game and I have the wheel weight just right, but the vibration is really weak so I want to try to find a setting that works. The Steam forums for the game are littered with trolls, and most of the FFB tuning threads on various forums around the internet are from 4 years ago.

peter gabriel posted:Yeah this is what I need help with, exactly the same thing. I've been reading the forums some more and apparently "btw in terms of surface bumps etc the forces are there, theyre the z parameter, try messing w/ it and/or the master spindle setting" I'll mess with the Z parameters when I get home and see if i can increase the vibration force without making the wheel heavy.

Ok, Here's a wheel FFB effort post. I've figured some stuff out. This is all dedicated to the per car FFB setups that you set up in the pits. I wish this was configurable globally but you can save the setups and it's not like Forza where you have like, 300 different cars, you're probably going to have one or two from each class that you use in each racing series and you're going to want to tune them before use anyway, so tuning the FFB for the car is fine. Plus, you don't have to back out of a practice session to the main menu to do it, you just go back to the pits and make adjustments. The top 5 sliders deal with tire force, and more specifically, Front tire force.  Fx Scale is the intensity of forces coming from the Front (or back if you're in reverse) of the front tires. Fy Scale is the intensity of forces coming from the sides of the front tires Fz Scale is the intensity of forces coming from the bottom of the tire. Play with these settings. Road feel like bumps and stuff increases when you increase the value of the Fz scale slider because these forces come from the underside of the tire. When your tire goes over something it compresses the suspension upward and this sends that compression to the steering wheel through vibration. Fy affects the weight of the wheel when turning. Higher values will make the wheel harder to turn and the wheel will want to return to center position more. When grip is lost the forces also decrease, making the wheel very light, just like in a real car. Fx adjustments are subtle and not very noticeable unless you're on the extreme edges of the range. Mz Scale also seems to affect the weight of the steering wheel while turning. Master Scale is a multiplier for the 4 items below it. Adjust to your preference after adjusting the 4 items. it will increase or decrease them all. The second section is smoothing. Higher values will smooth out the particular forces, lower will make them more rough. There is no master scale for this one, each is done individually. For Fz smoothing it weakens the bumps. The final setting on this page is Arm Angle, and that's only available in the "my garage" settings, not available from the pits during a race/practice/qualifying session. Arm angle simulates the way the steering wheel moves in relation to the hands and arms holding it. It's complicated to describe. I don't really know what to do with it. On the second page of FFB settings you get the following:  Body and SoP. SoP stands for "seat of pants" and this is meant to transmit to the wheel what the rest of the car is doing, rather than the front tires which are all a real car's steering wheel would transmit. Since you aren't in a real car you aren't going to feel g-forces or the rear sliding or anything like that, so those have to be sent to the only sensory interface you have, the wheel. Knowing what these things are is one thing, but knowing how to use them is something else. I don't know how to use them but I'll play with it.

I finally found a good FFB setup for my Thrustmaster wheel. In the per car settings I have: AWD master 100 Fx 20 Fy 20 Fz 100 Mz 10 RWD master 100 Fx 30 Fy 28 Fz 100 Mz 18 in the wheel calibration section I have force feedback at 100 and tire force at 200. This keeps the wheel nice and light, I can feel when the wheels lose grip, easily recover without the wheel fighting back, and I can feel road bumps and kerbs. In the Thrustmaster software I have the settings as 65/100/0/0 I haven't started a career yet, I've just tried to get a nice feeling set-up and tried these settings with many cars on many tracks.

The g27 is solid wheel for $200. I prefer the Thrustmaster wheels but they are a lot more money. FFB is a son of a bitch to figure out how to set up right though. And I think the same goes for the g27 too, because the FFB in this works so much differently than any other racing sim. It ONLY wants to tell you what the tires are doing as opposed to other games which send feedback for the entire vehicle.

So I have the xbone and PC versions of this now and they are both great with the Thrustmaster wheel. Using values derived from those FFB xml files posted earlier the xbone feels just as good and while it doesn't look as good as the PC at max settings it still looks great.

LiquidRain posted:I don't see that part. Where he says the presets don't work he's referring to setting those presets within the ffb xml files. In older builds it worked to set them from the files but now you need to set those in the ffb calibration menu in game. I know it's not really very clear. Yes you do need to change those settings for every file but if you get notepad++ (I think it's free) you can do a find and replace to a whole folder at once and it only takes a few seconds to do.

He says "People who prefer Soft FFB Lock change the line in the files like this: <value DisableLockSpring="false" /> (FFB lock for each car's certain degrees of rotation)" - do I need to do that for each XML file?!
|
LiquidRain posted:Could it just be spelled out what exactly I gotta do here? I know we played a lot of Forza, and I did like that FFB, so if you've gotten settings to feel good for you I'll stick to that and trust your judgment there. The focus RS has weird feedback, not a lot until the tires get warm. Try messing with a different car or let the tires warm up. Renault Megane, The merc hatch... they all feel different but feel pretty good. Try a formula a too, it's great fun. What I did was copy that folder down to the right place, do the find and replace to restore the wheel lock, calibrate the wheel, calibrate the FFB (basically just make sure tire force is at 100 (I didn't have to change much, I'm using a thrustmaster wheel) and then try some cars. If you're using a logitech I believe you have to set deadzone reduction to something like 16 to get the feedback to be spread across the entire wheel rotation. Like, if feedback doesn't kick in until the wheel is turned far enough that means you have to reduce that deadzone with that particular setting in the wheel feedback calibration screens. I wouldn't recommend changing the wheel degrees because the game does that on the fly per car to match their real life lock to lock rotation. You can change the steering ratio in the car tuning to make things more comfortable, so play with that until you get a setting you're comfortable with.

simosimo posted:Whenever I come to a stop I can't accelerate again with the G27? It's like the car goes dead when coming to a halt or spinning [to a stop]. Pretty lame, but i'm sure it's just a control config mishap? Auto clutch is on, as the stick shifter is useless with this game. The shifter isn't useless. You have to bind each gear position. What's happening is your car is dying because it stalls when you come to a stop in gear. you need to bind a button to "start engine"

I've had this game since Thursday and I just now started career mode. Up to this point I was just hotlapping and dialing in settings. These karts are fun. I have a question about fuel load for racing. I know I should bring it down but in career mode (at least with the karts) there's no practice session so I don't know how much fuel I use per lap. I've been taking it down to 2l and that's been fine, but am I missing some place where I can set it to use optimum fuel load for the race automatically or do I need to do the math myself?
