![]() ![]() You want to be as close to looking out of a windshield, or over the front wheels in an open wheel car as possible. Iīesides wheel setup, another crucial thing to setup properly is your field of view. I live on the west coast of Ireland, just recently (past week) discovered your video magazine on youtube and have been watching a few episodes. This post acts as a starting point I guess. Being new to wheels, you are always left wondering, is this current setting good? I don't really know as I have little experience and I have no reference point for comparisons No matter what settings I use, nothing seems to resemble a real car. I don't really get the sense of speed therefore I tend to approach corners too fast, then breaking just sends me off the track. Playing sim racing on your own as a beginner has a massive learning curve. Just recently bought a G27 and all the learning curves can become a little overwhelming. I really like STCC as it feels like I am actually controlling the car. I am new to sim racing, just built a PC and am trying to figure out which way to go wrt sim software. It wasn't that different with rFactor 2 from my point of view of an early backer, yet now that they are basically showing it onto someone else, people say it's good news.My first post may as well be a thank you. Look at games like No Man's Sky, devs hyped them did not deliver on the promises and eventually went silent after the whole thing exploded. The weird thing is, nobody's even slightly angry about this. And a significant amount of those people drive 1 or 2 cars on regular in all these games.Įddit: Late addition - what irritates me most about the situation, is that I can't help but get the impression that we are in this situation because ISI wasn't ever interested in selling us a game, they wanted to sell us a platform (that they didn't bother to finish) and when it turned out that they actually need to develop that platform to at least resemble a game they work on it for some time and eventually gave up and sold everything to another dev. I mean seriously, most people I know or even discuss simracing online have bought at least CARS, Assetto, something for Raceroom and AMS recently, a good chunk has rFactor 2 and plays iRacing. So you buy one, then wait till gets patched, then wait for mods, they buy the DLC, then buy another one, rinse and repeat. So while back in the day, an enthusiast of a specific series could just buy one game and be happy, now we end up buying them all, since they all have at least one car and a few tracks that cover our needs, but none delivers the complete package (ok maybe Dirt Rally does). It's either lack of weather, or day-night cycle, or lack of pit-stops or crappy AI, or bad graphics or poor performance. GPL was all about classic F1, GTL was classic touring, GTR was about modern GT and Goeff''s Grand Prix series provided F1 fans with all they could expect from a game about it.įast forward to nowadays and we have each sim developer trying to please fans of all types of racing and none can deliver an experience that feels complete. Basically by focusing on one series, they could simulate every aspect of that series fully. The game is amazing, everything is there, setups, pit stops, animated pit crews, a spotter, good AI. It looks ancient, but works flawlessly on modern hardware, with all possible resolution support. Here is what I played yesterday: Nascar Racing 2003. Career mode is neglected, nothing seems to simulate a full series (maybe except R3E) or even all the aspects of a particular series. Insert mandatory F1 car here, some GT3, a street car (or like 50, if you are Assetto Corsa), probably a classic racer, some tracks from various parts of the world and that is it. I think that this approach opened some doors and if you look at current-gen games, they all follow the same routine. You get a universal racing sim engine and can (in theory) any content there and to show it of you get some content, but everything seems like a slice of the experience. Here is my main problem with rFactor 2 and rFactor 1 as well.
