Drove X-Bow a bit, once it goes into a slight slide, no way to get it back? Or i've become that bad.. Played a bit with the controls, wheel still slightly vibrates while standing still but not a deal breaker.
Don't know if I should mess with the wheel rotation (900) on this type of cars?
The F40 is sex, spent couple of hours with it. I just wish my CS V2 pedals would arrive already, I think the car would really benefit from a load-cell.
TIL hardware performance issues = bad graphics. illepall
It can take a long time to set wheel configuration well. And graphics settings are equally fiddly.
Xbow is one of the most controllable and forgiving cars, if you're struggling in such a way with that one I'd bet you have some settings wrong, giving crap ffb or worse: input lag.
am i the only one whos having issues with the cars refusing to step back in line after a slide? it feels somwhat like the physics switch to a slide mode and the back will just keep swining back and forth until youve slowed down a lot sometimes
maybe its just my wheel setup but a friend tried the sim today and he was complaining about the same thing within a couple of minutes
also whats the timing and tyre app you guys are using?
You don't have the silly slide effect and the likes on, and what wheel do you use?
I have no reference as i've never drifted or driven a car on the limit IRL, but plain 90% ffb (100 windows) feels just fine.
I too had that problem mainly with the Lotus 49, over correcting it all the time. It's not as bad any more with more practice but I still tend to do it every now and then. Can't say I had any trouble with the road cars yet, they feel pretty natural to catch on my end.
Can't say anything about recent builds though, my gpu is on it's rma world tour didn't fire up AC since 10 days.
Same here, first car I tested, stock F40, stock setup, 90 tires @ Imola
lowered and moved forward the seat a bit (AC default dude must be tall one, hi sits so high, that I can't see the upper par of the dash)
Damn! KS totally nailed the F40, it's better then I expected , weak brakes, no abs, masive turbo lag, heaps of power, poping and banging twinturbo v8, long gear ratios, go kart like handling, and it's totally driftable with 490 degrees of rotation, but be aware of that powerband and working pop up headlights:lovies:
F40 s3, is the same thing but turned up to
Harder suspension, semislick or full slick tires, and 610hp+/700nm Italian madness Interesting F40 story
Yep F40 s3 with semis (not slicks) is officially my favorite car atm. for sheer driving pleasure Second favorite e30m3 s54b32, third 458 or KTM or L49 or e30 dtm, hard to decide they are all good
Seriously this is too much content right now, i don't know where to start. As far as i'm concerned they can focus all their attention and resources to MP..
I've been having a go now and then with AC and have been trying to like it. But somehow it doesn't click. When running around below the limit the general feeling is quite good. But when I push the cars start displaying all sorts of behavior that don't feel natural to me.
First there is the dreaded snap-back when correcting minor slides. I am more likely to spin from the snap-back than from the original oversteer. Something you never see in real life.
Then you have the extreme mid-corner understeer that even increases when you add some throttle. Is there a more unsatisfying trait a car can have than power-on-understeer?
Then there's the fact that you can't turn in when you are still on the brakes a bit, the car just goes straight. In real life drivers brake into corners to but vertical load on the front tyres to reduce turn-in understeer.
And in general anything with less than 500 bhp feels sluggish and unresponsive.
To top it off the graphics don't look anywhere near as good as in the screenshots. I've tried all the AA/AF settings and the tracks are just blurred and low-detail.
I know that I've generalized a lot in the above comments and maybe I just haven't driven the right car/track/setup combo. So can anybody give me some advice what I should be driving? Or could it be that my old DFP is just too sluggish to give me enough feel for AC?
On a sidenote, I also tried RaceRoom Experience today and thought it wasn't too bad. So maybe I've just gone crazy?
