Cross posting from the extreme sports game thread, but I think these motocross simulators may have a lot of crossover appeal with this thread:meowmeowmeowmeow posted:I've been playing a lot of MX Bikes recently, and its pretty fun. Like the older MX Sim, its applying a 'simulator' style of racing games to motocross and supercross racing but is a much newer game and is available on steam.

Rigs of Rods is 100% worth checking out if you like some or weird physics Sims in general. I played a huge amount when it came out, it's really fun.

It's certainly not perfect but the bike sims gp bikes and mx bikes are pretty loving fun and while you play with an Xbox controller I think they kinda capture the feeling of riding a bike, at least better then most of the other bike games I've played.

I'm pretty new to sim.racing, I think the advice good ven so far has been good. Seconding (or whatever-ing) the discord, super helpful group for advice and random questions and all that. I like doing a couple laps in second to kinda feel out a track, then slowly increase pace until I start to hit a wall and then go look at YT for lap guides as I find having some context on the track helps me understand what the fast guys are doing different, and then slowly adjust my lines to theirs. If I go straight to alien lines I'm all over the place overdriving and not getting clean laps, the slow build and shift is key for me. I started with ACU and found the career mode and all the different cars a good way to get to grips with sim racing and once I felt like I had the basics down I went to iRacing. I thought it was a pretty helpful progression tbh, going straight to iRacing would have been a mess and I got all.ky early punting out of the way on ai instead of other people. The top about grip being a finite resource and having to spend it against throttle, brake, turning, etc is a good way to put it and then you can think about it for each tire and how weight transfer works and stuff. But yeah take it slow, it's better to be consistently slow and keep it on track than fast for two turns and bin it so you have a base to get fast from.

I bought some pedals and it came with a voucher for 3 free months of iracing for someone who starts a new account, would anyone here like it? I'm already deep into it so can't use it and happy to pass it along to someone whos been thinking about it but hasn't signed up yet. All I ask is that it gets used and not redeemed and then ignored.

Homeless Friend posted:RBR update now has soft lock per car apparently, and a lot of mod tools been coming out or announced for it recently to more easily edit pace notes/create maps. Pretty good. Also I spent money like a good lil piggy and got sprints lol. I think it was fanatecs fundamentally being floor pedals in design that pissed me off forever. Terrible ergonomics for my big rear end feet. An absolutely pain in the rear end baseplate design tho, they should throw whoever designed it into a river. Any way to run RBR in VR? I don't have a monitor on my rig at the moment and miss the game

Nah I have a monitor, it's just that my sim setup isn't at my desk because I do iracing in VR so it's a few feet away where it fits in the room better. Unfortunately it restricts me to VR only games with the wheel which is a bummer.

I have played none of them but also consider trackdayR and GP bikes - I play mx bikes which is a sibling of gp bikes and it's pretty good.

I had a driving force pro.and upgraded to the cls LC pedals and it was the right first step in the upgrade path. I use a length of Paracord tied to one leg of my wheelstand and then wrap that around the column of my office chair and then clip to the other leg, holds me in place pretty good but you definitely notice the flex of the chair with the LC pedals.

I found assetto corsa had a good AI racing progression that got me slowly ready to drive the faster cars, for me it was a great into to sim racing. Agreed with VB on iracing, the price structure made me hesitant to jump in with having to pay a subscription and also buy content but being able to race real people whenever I want and have a license progression and mmr built in and low effort has been what's gotten me to stick with the hobby.

iracing has active reset where you can set a point anywhere on track you like, and with a button you're back at that same point going the same speed and all that. Great for practicing one tricky turn, pit entry, or a sector over and over until you get it right.

That is a loving sick giant button box and overall setup. For the VR gou question, I manage to get iracing running on my quest2 with a 4570k and 1660 with basically all settings at low and stable-ish 72fps, I would say that's absolute minimum requirements and I only get away with it because framedrops in VR don't make me sick or dizzy.

Assetto Corsa unlimited and dirt rally 2.0 are both hard to go wrong with as starting points for sims.

I'm also not gonna say it's cheap but I wouldn't be as into sim racing as I am without the zero effort racing against real people iracing offers. Do I wish it was cheaper? For sure! Is there something that offers a range of car and race types with zero overhead online racing? Doesn't seem like it tbh.

pzy posted:IIRC it said I was banned from joining real races for 48 hours How wrong did you go down the pit lane? Usually it takes something like intentional wrecking to get anything more than a warning, I'm struggling to think of anything you could do from the pits that would get you a 48h timeout.

I got that bundle and already had ACU and ACC if anyone wants the keys for free PM me. I think the discord group tried out a fun race in AMS2 and it went so-so? We're all deep into iracing so thats usually the lowest-overhead platform for the most people but we did some modded AC races that were fun.

I'm sorry for the dumb question about using the cable but spent a solid chunk of time troubleshooting a guys Q2 being weird before discovering he was airlinking through a router in the other room and wondering why he had random quality drops and laggy response on occasion and wanted to get that out of the way, glad you found something that worked. I wish it had a drat DP port or something and didnt have to deal with the compression and oculus app in general.

MX Bikes is prob the best simmy MX game, MX sim is good but old and feels very old. First person view in MXB is the closest a game has felt to actually riding for me, and its pretty deep and fun but kinda frustrating at times vs a more arcadey game.

One of the notable differences between ACC and iracing is that even in the cars with abs in iracing the fastest thing to do isn't hammer the brake into abs and let it sort it out. Also VR is iracing is pretty loving good, can confirm. Don't have a 3mo code unfortunately

I'm pretty sure the g29 has a clutch pedal and either includes or has an add-on for an h-pattern shifter. I really think a used g29 is a great starter point for gear and then if you really like it the fanatec DD bundle is real cheap these days. The playseat type of setup might be nice if you're never gonna go beyond a g29, but I'm happy with my gt omega wheelstand I added the seat frame and an nrg bucket seat to.

I think the only logitech load cell option for the g29 would be that truebrake mod. I think thrustmaster has a LC option thats console compatible? No idea about trueforce. I'd guess you're looking at a fanatec DD bundle for cheapest DD wheel thats console compatible, the moza r3 and r5 look like PC or PC/xbox only?

I've read zero reviews for the cammus c5 or done any comparison shopping, but I feel like if you have a g920 rn you might as well save up a little more and spring for a fanatec or moza bundle + LC pedal, I feel like the c5 could be a weird position where you'll still want to get a slightly nicer DD at some point whereas a CSL DD or a R5/R9 could be a forever setup, especially with multiple rims.

Kvlt! posted:i have an iracing sub, how does one get into that? Is there a way to practice or train for it? Come join the discord that in either this OP or the iracing thread OP, on one hand we're in a bit of a deadzone for official endurance events until daytona next year, on the other hand bearpope is going to be running 1 or 2 cars in a endurance league and a spotter might be really nice to have. Same with some single driver leagues we run in, having someone to check gaps and position within class or look for damage or whatever could be nice, and its a good community for sim stuff as well.

Most games seem to have a pretty straightforward control wizard now, at least as far as I've seen. Turn wheel left, right, hit gas and brake, shift etc and you're good to go. I think easy to setup VR is always gonna be harder to get working and working well.

The discord has a very active iracing group that does lots of the special events, has a very casual private league, and generally chats a lot about sim racing and getting better. It might be in the iracing thread OP if it's not in this thread somewhere, I'd recommend joining.

I bought one with no plans to get a wheel side any time soon just cuz of the discount. I figure someday I'll make the jump to the new system, might as well save 50$.

Your safety racing an average of corners per incident point, so you can get points but you need a low average to make number go up. Usually a 0x is light contact with a car or wall, 1x is off track, 2x is loss of control (spin), and a 4x is a solid contact with someone. Imo rookies are for learning race craft and driving around other people, not getting fast. So don't go farm sr by driving around at the back solo, but after races review when you got incident points and ask what you could have done to avoid it, even if it's.not your fault. Sure someone came down on you and cut you off, but could you have predicted it and opened up space to save your race? It's a bummer to do but you'll finish better staying clean and letting agro people through and they'll usually kill themselves anyways. This is all based on my experience road racing but I think it applies to ovals.

Beam.ng has city maps and normal rear end cars without modding, might be worth a try. Or yeah cones in a parking lot.

I believe it's just relative speed differential at contact, there's just low and high energy collisions regardless of intent.

Not a great sign they said it was delayed to continue to expand ACC but I'm hyped for it. I'm mostly into iracing for the easy head to head racing but driving random cars in AC is a good time

I think they've said it's their own engine, something evolved from AC. Which has me excited as I'm a VR racer and everything I've heard about ACC makes it sound terrible for VR due to UE.

All ui elements in iracing are movable with like Ctrl+k or something. I had bad headaches for a while and the solution was a better step setup, I went with bobovr and don't regret it a bit.
