I'm glad you are happy with it, that's all that matters at the end. Maybe is because I live in Turin and I see 29349349432393934908986547903 of those cars everyday why I hate it so much
Yes I'm aiming for the original wing with the GT Four blocks. Unfortunately mine is the restyling one with 3 supports so I need to get both, spoiler + blocks. As for the rims, I'm considering five spokes in white, 17"
Tinytacohead, it's a rare car everywhere I believe, especially LHD. Japan and UK are used to them, but I think this is the first one I see in my life
Just bought her, is on her way to Spain, where she will be registered. Italian sample so LHD, 100% stock, relatively low mileage, very well looked after and reasonable price. So hard to get one of these in those conditions nowadays!
Just played the first couple of hours. The game is a definitely a proper GTA, and the driving is not as bad as I expected. What annoys me the most is the 720p resolution, which combined with a 1080p screen and the lack of AA makes it look like SHIT. That and the complexity of the controls (first time ever I play this game on console) but I guess I'll have time to get used to it. Other than that, awesome.
PS: Special mention to the sound, which is top notch, and automatic downshifts work really well.
I could run GTA IV at medium settings and lagging like hell at night time, so I'm not expecting anything better. The Core2Quad Extreme, 8Gb ram and SSD should be fine, but my old 9800mGTS is not that fast anymore.
I stopped trying when I realised that in order to improve my time I had to drive in a very weird and unrealistic way.... Finished 133rd (was 86th when I did my PB a week ago). So many Italian players!!
That's why hud display data was made for
Ok, is not realistic, but I spend most of the time looking at the track than to that info you're talking about, so it makes sense to have a proper driving view as a priority to me.
Anyway lets not go off topic, this discussion will end up as usual, coming to the conclusion that 3 screens are needed because otherwise the FOV is not realistic and blah blah... lets just say sims today are way far from perfection in not only phisycs, but any other sense too
Hood view would be great but generally feels very weird because it has no movement at all, is like having a GoPro on the dash of the car, so you don't perceive any movement that driver's head would do, and it makes it feel "feedback-less". Fortunately you have plenty of settings in LFS so is the only game where I can use it.
That means bumper camera is the only option for me in most games, which is not completely right but is unfortunately the only one that works.
All sim developpers just go for the eye candy choice. making animations and high detailed dashboards, without really thinking about this point. LFS is one of the few exceptions.
I know most of you will blame me but is just wrong to play using the cockpit camera anyway. My steering wheel is the one I'm phisically holding with my hands, and my dashboard is the table (or whatever you have between you and your screen). What I see in the screen is what I'm supposed to see through the windshield of the car. That said, I hope there are customi cameras just like in LFS.
It might be my T500RS drivers or just the fact that it's thecnical preview, but FF sucks for me even thiough 99% of you think is the best thing ever. This and the lack of interesting cars (I only like road cars) means I am not sold on this game, and my expectations are not that high. No hype here.
