Germany having grip is a dangerous myth to perpetuate since you're constantly in an off-camber or downhill turn. It's too tempting to just stand on the throttle and fly into a bush when the track disappears out from under you.

I finished in the top 50 or something in the Owner's Club for the 205 T16 yesterday and I have no idea how. And the top dude was separated from the tenth dude by something ridiculous like 12 seconds. I really want to see how these guys play. Unfortunately, my times disappeared from the last league event. Oh well, time to start from the bottom

bUm posted:Thanks. I can listen to stuff with lyrics, but it can't be something too involved or it distracts me. I've found chillstep, folk music, and classical work really well for me. quote:
I'm actually using a 360 controller with a thumbstick extension. I've been doing it since Forza 4. I use handbrake pretty liberally when I'm just trying to get the rear out in a corner. Just a quick dab to kick it out on corner entry, then more if I'm missing the apex I want. A lot of what I'm doing is just staying on the gas at those high revs and pointing the front wheels where I want the car to go at various spots in the turn. In a 4WD, depending on how the torque splitter is set up, the front wheels are gonna be doing a lot of pulling, so you can just stand on the gas and rely on the wheels to steer. Exiting the turn probably gives me the hardest time, since if you're going too fast, you'll have to overcompensate by keeping your nose pointed inside to avoid running into the wall on the outside of the turn -- doing that, though, means that you have to snap back forward pretty violently and risk spinning the car. This is a lot more likely on something like the 205, which has a pretty significant rearward bias on the splitter w/ the default setup, as opposed to the Delta, which is more balanced. Never use your regular brakes in the middle of a turn on ice if you need to lose the understeer -- you'll actually induce more understeer this way. Alternate some stabs on the throttle and use of the handbrake to get that rear end out. Otherwise, if you're looking for perfect entry, come in slow, give the steering a good flick from the outside to the inside, dab the handbrake, and feather that throttle as needed. You'll get a feel for it eventually. If you feel like the car is too flat or unresponsive in the middle of a turn, it's because it's settled. Shift down and spin those tires if you have to. And like I said in the video, it's easier to approach the turn slowly and get more aggressive as you feel out the behavior of the car. Also, if you haven't already: turn off the assists.

Yeah some of the default car setups are just unavoidably trash. The Impreza setup for Greece had me flying off cliffs regularly because I constantly expected more oversteer than it wanted to give me.

So does anyone think there's any chance Codemasters is going to try making some longer (25+ km) stages or are we basically boned as far as crazy realistic stage lengths. I really would like to see stages long enough that I can't just memorize them.

Codemasters should really get on point and figure out how to make low-quality rain particles that don't drop you by 40 fps. I'm real tired of crashing out because I can't figure out how to drive a slideshow. Also manual wipers. The number of times I've had wipers randomly turn on during dry stages right as I'm approaching a corner, blocking my vision, is maddening.

Spicy Guacamole posted:Yeah, I really didn't think that was going to happen. I looked at the scores beforehand and figured I could maybe beat sealhammer, because I had managed something like 4:02 or 4:03 in career. Somehow squeaked it out, though. This is a lot more fun than I thought it would be. I was hoping someone would beat my time considering two of the 6 laps (including the first) I rolled the Polo on its side in the second corner next to the joker. The physics on that car are really strange.

Qmass posted:Somehow just did 3:11 on bidno moorland in the fiesta, taking 103rd place... which shocked the poo poo out of me. Playing with game pad, I RARELY do a stage without crashing and was just taking it easy (I thought) trying to make cash to buy the new wrx. This game continues to baffle me :P I always get giddy when people post their times like this, gives me something to race against instead of just some random duder's time. Went and did this on a whim, same stage & car and pulled a 3:06.xx. Couldn't figure out how to pull up the global leaderboard though and didn't know there's no leaderboard on the game's website (THERE SHOULD BE) so I don't know where it falls in the ranks. If you see a "Col. Roy Campbell" from USA in there, it's probably me. I use a gamepad, too, so know that you can go much, much faster with it. Also w/r/t assists chat: turn off everything, manual shift, learn to drive the car like a big boy. Don't cheat yourself and your mind's expectations by getting used to driving with TCS/ECS and then turning them off. Get used to what it should feel like at the end, from the beginning, and you'll waste less time and get fast, faster. I personally can't play most racing games with assists because they are so insanely intrusive and obstructive to the inputs I make and that fucks with my expectations.

Qmass posted:Im sure you are better at the game than me but I was thinking while watching, I wonder if the throttle when you landed made you oversteer more + rebound harder from more weight going back and therefor more likely to roll. I feel like I would have tried handbrake there and maybe just skidded towards trees on the outside. I've found that handbraking weirdly catches a lot of oversteers, which seems counter-intuitive? I certainly wouldn't have gone for my handbrake on the road IRL... What actually happened is that I was nosed over + trying to turn while landing, thus causing the front tires to dig in. The new tire model lets that happen a lot, it's pretty fun.

Maybe i should have turned on some assists.. nooOOOOOO I've said it before and I'll say it again: don't use any loving assists. Just slow the poo poo down and drive at a pace that lets you control the car. Then speed it up as you get comfortable and understand what the car is doing to try and kill you, and how to use it to your advantage.

bsamu posted:No, plenty of people use it. All it does is do more finetuned adjustment of the FFB settings. I was eighteen seconds down after the first stage because I flew off the track in the first corner and planted my hood in a tree (I haven't done the Stratos since the update) and six seconds up before the last stage, then burned that lead by breaking late on every hairpin and having to do a sick e-turn and stripping all the rubber off my tires in first gear while traveling backwards.

Black Griffon posted:That's a very ordinary cover. I do wish they would have tried to evoke the same feeling in the cover art as they did with some of the achievement names. The quiet and anticipation. The pressure comes from the intangible, but weightily passage of time. The dance of the car through the hairpins. The curls of dust swirling in the breeze. The way they wrote the achievements kind of reminds me of the narrative writing from the Halo games. Laconic, using only the most appropriate words. The ideal rally game cover is the gratuitous face close-up of a driver as he sits, waiting, in his car. His brow sweats furiously, eyes focused infinitely far ahead like a man reliving his Vietnam days. He anticipates the ride. He knows he will dig in on a landing and barrel roll at 115 miles per hour, his wheeled steed careening sidelong into the spectators lining the stage as its structure and his championship aspirations alike crumple and implode. I think I'm burnt out on this game right now. The small stage selection has lost its novelty and right now I'm just kind of chilling out waiting for Sweden and the WRC Polo before I keep playing. Also feeling bummed out knowing that sought-after functions that would really blow open up replay value like custom/rng tracks aren't going to happen.

Renounced posted:The sensitivity is how fast it responds to your input, but not how far it turns the wheel. Linearity is how far the wheel turns (lower is better, up to a point). It seems to try to average out the last few moments of input, so small adjustments can get ignored. Which is really a problem on quick stages adjusting over small bumps, because it you have the linearity really high, your input will be ignored completely. sens at 100 linearity at whichever end is direct input, get a thumbstick extension, and you're gucci
