Thank you for recommending Peugeot. It's much much much nicer to drive than the Polo I bought. I liked driving Polo in August and acquired it immediately when I got the money. I wish I could refund cars :c
I have tried changing setup of Polo, but I don't know much. I got it to accelerate much faster out of corners and spin out less, but it's still terrible to drive with a pad.

Gas and brake on pad would be nicer If I could change the curves so 80% depressed trigger won't equal 100% throttle/brake ingame. Smooth steering with sticks is just plain impossible for me because of the tiny movement range. It's fine on gravel and surfaces like that but bad on tarmac.

Have you tried those stick extender addons?

Do you have tripple monitors? If you're using a single why are you messing with eyefinity?

In use the ingame slider for single monitor FOV adjustment, and then move the cockpit around till it's comfortable.

I eyeballed mine since I set my FOV slightly higher than the calculators say I should be on a single display.

This is far more than I hoped for actually, since I was really hoping something would let me review when the suspension is bottoming out (which this seems to do). And it works without any problems. Very cool mod, thanks.

If you have a android tablet or phone, dashmeterpro works with Dirt.

Do any of you use a handbrake for this? Looking to pick one up for my rig if I can get a decent one under 150ish.

Making this post, I just had a super dumb idea...I have a logitech extreme 3d pro flightstick I could set as a temporary handbrake.

Check out Automobilista for balls awesome open wheel stuff as well.

Side note about project cars. If you're also into LMP cars, it's got some fun ones, and more of a selection than other sims.

Default settings feel really nice. Spend a few more hours getting acclimated to the game. Rally is a far different beast than road racing. You've gotta be thinking a few corners ahead of the car.

There's far more throttle/brake modulation needed during a rally. Moments of flat out throttle are rare.

It took me forever to grasp using the sidewalls on my tires to slow down.

I broke down and ordered the fanatec handbrake.

View talk: I always go cockpit in any driving game I can. I'm a big dumb idiot with triple screens and all that though.

Is this common for sim set ups? I was curious about handbrakes and if it acts as a axis.

This game makes me want to buy a wheel but I have a tiny desk and a 24 inch monitor. Nor do I currently have excess funds for a 300 dollar toy.

I've never needed a handbrake before now. Yes it's on an axis

When I first started playing this game I hated Sweden. Now its one of my favorites. It's very chill and zen when you get the hang of it. Honestly maybe I just love Sweden for the "pooomph" sound your car makes when landing snowy jumps.

... Actually, now that I think about it I'm trying to think of a video game with better audio than Dirt: Rally right now and I'm coming up blank.

Race room experience. That's about it.

I keep trying to play DR after coming home from the bar and it turns out if I can't drive my car home on city streets, I probably can't drive a rally car on gravel. FR: Call Uber option.

Asphalt is then worst part of the game. Everything else is lovely.

This game is loving wild with an accuforce. Hadn't played it since I upgraded from my thrustmaster TX.

Mid rally weather transitions seem cool as gently caress. Was watching a video started off sunny ended with fog you could you see 5 feet in front of the car.
