Gtx570soc, ~150fps, mid/low setings, full hd on 24' mon., still there is some lag

Sound is crap, I agree

Just replicated e30 m3 in LFS, must do some comparison testing

Quote from tristancliffe :

But has there been a more entertaining simulator than this ever?

LFS

We need LFS physics & Ui/iRacing tracks & netcode/AC graphics/rF modability/beamNG damage

but mx5... damn! something must be wrong with you!

nah.. with mk1 mx5 u got all the streetcred it's the ultimate 'hairdressers car' roadster

Quote from -NightFly- :

Comes from a bmw driver...

bmw = businessman/drifter/racer/gangster/russian/idiot (in my country), Nissan s13 = just drifter

Why no daily? (Nissan)

Cool car S13 I was considering one, but they cost as much as decent e30/e36, and are not that reliable (engine) + that drifter image

Quote from Ball Bearing Turbo :

Not sure what he's on about... in the 458; I have to be REALLY careful not to kick the ass out when applying any kind of throttle in the first 3 gears.

Secret 35% traction control that somebody can't turn off, no matter what to test that you must do the donut with e30, if u succeed, god for u if the old beamer bogs down = 35%

Quote from CheerioDM :

Taking off the tires would make it easier to slide.

probably

Quote :

to everyone that finds driffting in e30 problematic ;

raise your tyres persaure to max (40)
front camber : 0,6
rear camber : 1,8

Remeber to set also tyre wear to x3 in game menu . It will help you alot , especially after 2-3 laps when tyres will be not in perfect condition .

very realisticI don't remember that i needed to raise the tyre pressure to the max and **** up the camber to do the donuts in my e30

Well, this is a bit personal, but i think there is a problem in the physics (besides the throttle response), in many cars the moment of losing grip of the tires is a bit abrupt, with street tires i think it should be more progressive, and then when you are drifting the grip appears suddenly again and the car loses power to drift, totally weird with some cars and his torque.

The E30 is very difficult to drift with power, in standing, clutch pressed, gas at 100%, steering to one side, release the clutch and the drift lasts some seconds, is impossible to do a donut for example, and i had a 320i e30 that could drift easier, sometimes with clutch help of course, with less power. Is as if the tires have more grip or the engine less power than it have.

I haven't drive a M3 E30 in real life, but other BMWs (330d, 325i e92, etc) or RWD cars yes and i think that the lose of grip should be easier and mantaining it during the drifting with control too.

Quote :

I feel the same as OP, it's very obvious in the E30 but I think it applies to pretty much every car now, we're getting insane ammounts of rear longitudinal grip that make cars feel like they have less HP than they should have. To me the M3 shouldn't require so much hard work to get the tail out, just planting the throttle mid corner should make it powerslide and adding some power while in the drift should surely make the RPMs go up and not struggle so hard like it does now. In every drifting videos I've seen you have to work so hard to make it drift ( handbrake, clutch kick etc... ).
When I try to do donuts with it, it feels like a 318i, the RPMs can't stay up and eventually the car will "stall" after one round. I'm pretty sure I can make donuts last longer in my 140HP little MX5 than with this M3 ( Don't ask me to try and video it tho, I don't have money to waste on tyres, clutch etc... nor do I want to damage it )
Same feeling with the Ferrari 458, I feel like hasn't got all it's power and surely going 100% on the gas in the middle of corner should really make it powerslide a lot especially on street tyres, but all I'm ever getting is grip, grip, grip and more grip.
I must add that the cars in the steam pre release video you posted on youtube seemed to have much less problem to hold slides and looked to handle better overall, so I'm pretty hopeful you added grip in this version so everyone could drive it and didn't think it was like iRacing where you lose the car too easily.

I'm not posting any of this to bash the game just so you know, I'm just giving feedback for the sim to get closer to reality (or at least I'm trying, not claiming to be a know it all whatsoever, I might be wrong).

Old m3 is fine, no autoblip

Quote from DratsaB :

What do you guys think of the clutch simulation (or lack of)? Don't tell me I'm the only one who wants to use 3 pedals and manual heel/toe? Cause it sure seems like that from all the forums I have looked at so far.

Even with all aids off (as far as I can tell), it seems that although you can assign the clutch pedal, you never have to use it with any car, you can just shift up and down the gears without it.
I know some of the real cars might actually have sequential gear boxes with auto clutch (it would be nice to see a list of what transmission each car is supposed to have actually/ how the real car is). But surely the M3 e30 should require you to use a clutch if you have it?

Another thing is Auto Blip, this seems to happen on some cars even though it is turned off, like the Fiat 500. Also the M3 GT2 Auto Blips on down shifts. Wouldn't a race car like this require the driver to do the blipping?

Anyway, I really would like a better transmissions/clutch simulation. You can't even make the car stall and there is no Ignition key command. You dont need to use the clutch to pull away from standing start.

What do you think of this, do you think they will improve it?

Clutch simulation is terrible, You can't stall the car, rpm's just drops to zero, you can't start slowly, car will bog dow. Also in the e92m3 you can't disable autoblip, IRL with DTC gearbox m3 will blip automatically, so i am ok with that..

time to troll the iRacing forum

e92m3 flappy paddles only

I can do mad slides in XRG with 140hp, tyres in normal temp. just by unsetteling the balance of the car, even when using 'realistic' road car setup, with soft suspension, zero ARB in the back, open diff, or soft (25%) clutch type

e30 with 193hp, ~1100-1200kg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWaQZ9rhqrg
I can easily replicate this in LFS (twaek), not so sure about AC

Forced to use 900' degrees, can't do mad slides like in LFS, can't custom in car camera, can't hide virtual wheel, there is more... just first impression on the bright side, physics feels better then iRacing's
edit: clutch simulation is poor compared to LFS, u can't roll from standstill using just a clutch on a flat ground, + e30m3 with 200hp bogs down when doing donuts in 1'st gear :lol

Drove a e30m3

first impressions


hmm, fps wasn't great, lol i runned lfs in background

e92m3 will be the ultimate tyre physics judge

How's the physics? better then my beloved LFS
edit: bought the sim

still s50b32?

damn, that breadvan

Quote from Mysho :

Game updated to 1.7. New Volvo truck added. New DLC released. Seems like they're growing.

Traded my old Volvo, for new 2013' FH model

*old model (2005-2008) is still available in the sim

Must be scary car to drive
