I don't pay much attention to the views of those guys on inside sim racing anymore. I guess due to their sponsorship by iracing, they are so bloody biased towards Iracing it's not even funny.

Yes, it very much depends on driving style. I have ridden with drivers who love to chop and hack at the wheel and then ridden at the same event with smooth drivers (in the exact same car) and both drivers will pull nearly the exact same times. The funny thing is the twitchy driver felt faster then the smooth one.

 

You hit the nail on the head there. Street tires, especially crap tires (which most people have) will make TONS of noise long before the limit. Just because you make some noise around a turn doesn't mean you are at the limit.

I am not familiar with other countries but in the US it is very easy and cheap to look up your local SCCA chapter and find a Solo 2 event to go to. You don't need any special licence and entry is $40 at the most and depending on how busy your region is you can get 4 runs or so. All you need to do is empty out the junk in your car, check your tire pressures and then show up. You don't need a sports car, hell people even AutoX in pickup trucks or rental cars. It is very safe, nearly impossible to get hurt or hurt the car (aside from TONS of tire wear). Even if you nail a cone. You will learn real quick what it is like to drive on the limit. The nice thing about AutoX vs track driving is a novice person can safely push the car way past the limit and still be safe.

For those with motion rigs using X-Sim, there is a plugin created for Assetto Corsa to get motion data.

Well, I was right.

That video the steering wheel twitch is either induced or it was Wheel/FFB setting.

In this video there is no wheel twitch.

So if all that twitching was physics how is it so easily removed here with no setup options. HUH ?

 

I think the video above shows steering much closer to reality, especially the corners exits, that is all Ii said
I thought the first video was too much twitching.

It was not me that objected to my point of view or started debating it or giving a lecture on how race cars handle .

ffs

 

I'm loving AC, the apps thing is brilliant, ffb feels great, physics are decent, graphics are good....looking forward to the full game.

 

For people who wants to change car colors:

Download this zip it contains a bunch of skin folders - LINK
extract to X:\AC_TechPreview\content\cars\lotus_elise_sc\skins

You should end up with a bunch of skin folders inside the skins folder that looks like this:

To choose a skin in game on the drive section there is a preview of the car click the i button see pic

AC will certainly be a must buy, really enjoying it, but they have some work to do. One significant issue is the already mentioned dead zone on the straights (using a T500). I know ffb should be minimal but it is pure dead, e.g. sitting in a car when it isn't running or moving. FFB is also a bit muddy on the T500, however turning gain (in-game) to 70 or 75 helps. rF2 ffb never leaves, it adjusts as it should depending on what is happening so I feel engaged throughout the entire lap.

 

I'm sorry but I'm not a member on all those forums, I mainly play RF2 and pCARS and that's where I check to see news from those games. But feel free to post this tutorial where you want, just credit the guy who created it.

 

+1, I totally agree, I cannot even understand compairing sims here, there are general forums for that, these are proper places for comparisons imho.

 

this is a thread for rf2's biggest challenger. so: what else do if not discussing here those challengers?! - look over there in pcars forum. there is also a undersection for "other games", where ac and rf2 get discussed also intensively.
i really dont like this attitude "here is overall forum for game x, no other mentioning of other games allowed" - this attitude is so out.

 

...Yeah! and your butt is floppy.

 

So are good manners it seems

 

lol nikos, what kind of comment is that? IT's not good manners to talk about another sim here now according to you? Being in a bad mood and coming to these forums is not a good idea. Maybe time to turn out some laps instead.

 

Good manners is to accept someones opinion, especially when he says imho and not make comments about attitude.
Do you think you really can sense mine or my mood?

 

see, I was talking about my mood, no one ele's.. lol

 

lol, AC joins steam greenlight and shortly after that iracing joins
