Loads of other little changes to career too, might end up restarting that mode just so I can spend my money on something other than engineer slots.

Then another couple of hours doing cabling, speaker mounting, adjustments, deciding I wanted the fully articulating keyboard arm instead of the fairly useless one that comes with the Ozone.... It only took me 2 hours to get mine together though I do have to get a workmate of mine to take his angle grinder to the monitor mounts because as they are they cover over the power cord hole.

julian assflange posted:also: what was 'all the poo poo' around Project Cars anyway? Project CARS is bugged up the rear end with various visual and gameplay issues ranging from minor (cars disappearing if they're not moving in the pit lane) to serious (AI cars not losing speed when they run off the track or seemingly dropping their collision detection to drive through you) and there hasn't been a single patch that I've seen yet even to hotfix some of the more minor stuff. I've seen people say that they promised to have indy car racing in the game alongside the Indianapolis Speedway on Indy 500 weekend as well which hasn't appeared though I'd like DLC to be a secondary concern over fixing bugs. Having said all that though, I still don't regret buying it. I've played it a lot and provided they keep adding content like they've said they will I'm going to play it a hell of a lot more.

There is a giant all caps warning on the news page for Dirt Rally saying "DON'T DOWNLOAD THE LATEST PATCH" as it could corrupt your save file if you play with it. So if it's auto-downloaded don't play with it if you care about your save. E: There's already a 1.6gb patch downloading for me to presumably fix poo poo.

I'd say to hold out, Early Access games usually go cheaper on a daily deal and I'd bet money that DR's gonna get cheaper at some point in the sale. Wreckfest and F1 2014 are also on sale if you want to smash poo poo or can't wait/won't buy F1 2015.

I'm 5 minutes slower than everybody and my car became 50cm shorter after finishing my first event. Make your first focus just keeping the car on the road. At the clubman career level I was able to usually place in the top 3 just by not running off the track.

Christ, I hosed up my shoulder at work yesterday so I'd been holding off using my wheel for anything today but I jumped into PCARS for a Formula Rookie race and everything was getting hosed up by the AI moving super slow. Having said that, learning to use manual shifting has consistently chopped 2-3 seconds off my lap times.

So I got Assetto Corsa since I was holding most of my Steam funds waiting for it to go on sale and after I'd gently and repeatedly told the game about my shifter until it decided to actually work with it I went into the career and thus the first career race. Holy poo poo no-one is exaggerating when they talk about how bad that AI is, just constantly ramming me when I brake earlier than them and side swiping me when I'm on the inside line and that's when they're not hitting each other and spinning the entire grid off into the gravel.

Something I've been wondering since I was doing a lot of open wheel racing in Project CARS and love open wheel stuff in general, what are good sims/mods for open wheel racing? I know iRacing has a bunch of options but I'm still working on rookies there but otherwise it seems like a thing that isn't in many sims.

Torabi posted:Stock Car Extreme has a lot of open wheel stuff. Waiting to see if it goes on a bigger sale during the steam summer sale before I pick it up myself. Yeah I was looking at that after making that post but £17 is more than I can justify spending on another sim right now. I know Reiza said on Twitter it's not going to be a daily deal or flash sale so it's not gonna get cheaper in this sale at least.

Speaking of daily deals, Project CARS is on a flash sale for £24, which I think is the cheapest it's been yet.

pik_d posted:I just got Dirt Rally and instantly joined the league, how does this work? How many runs do we get, and is there a way to practice if we only get one run? Shakedowns are basically single section runs to check your setup, in a league rally you get one shot. So if you throw it over a wall on a Monaco stage or off a cliff in Greece and end up unrecoverable, it's over.

Here4DaGangBang posted:What's the verdict on Project CARS, folks? I recall initial mixed reactions, I think? Specifically interested in how it compares to AC physics and FF-wise I guess, because that's what I've been playing thus far. There's a major patch (2.0!) coming out in a few weeks supposedly. The game has a lot of issues but its fun if you can overlook stuff like setups and pit strategies not saving. If you're looking for something better than AC in terms of physics and FFB though you're not going to find it in P-Cars.

Jehde posted:Really I always figured this thread as more of a general thread for all the tryhard sims, i.e. AC, iRacing, Rfactor, etc. It might be worth just making a Dirt Rally thread given how much Dirt chat here drowns out the regular sim chat. The two threads could coexist similarly to how the pCARS thread does. I could probably throw together a Dirt Rally OP, it's the kind of game that really deserves a thread of its own since people are probably playing it and don't want to come in this thread. E: I have thrown together a DIRT Rally thread. I'll go back and expand the OP a little later but I think I got the important stuff in there. njsykora fucked around with this message at 04:12 on Jul 4, 2015 |

OhsH posted:So if i dont throw money at this i still get an updated gsce, gotcha. But from the look of things they're basing how much new stuff gets put in GSCE off how much they make. So right now they've confirmed they're adding SuperV8 and the Lancer Cup along with Montreal Modern and Velo Citta. So presumably the next milestone would be the Copa Montana pickups then Formula V10 then Rallycross and finally Super Trucks which is what everyone really wants.

Hopefully the polish they're putting on it for the consoles will lead to them improving the AI to acceptable levels.

Mootallica posted:I checked out the Steam forum for this the other day (god knows why), and everybody is up in arms that they took out the Career mode. Apparently it's now "Pick a driver - you're them for a year" instead of the "create your own name, start from scrub tier and work your way up" mode that it used to be. I'm sad that this kind of progression isn't in there too, though I've seen endless bullshit videos on YouTube saying its a licencing thing because the FIA didn't want people putting themselves in the game. Though there's gonna be plenty of entertainment in pretending to be Maldonado and all that entails. E: I haven't gotten my copy yet (thanks Royal Mail) but a list of problems was posted on another forum. People seem to be really angry about needing the day 1 patch to add in Manor. Also apparently the 2014 season cars have the wrong liveries and McLarens aren't fast enough on the straights. So most of the problems seem to be things only massive F1 nerds care about. Oh, also the classic touring cars pack for RaceRoom is out. 4 cars for £7 or £2 each. njsykora fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Jul 9, 2015 |
