Hello fellas
I know a lot of you play AC, so maybe someone drove the Porsche GT3 cup 2017 and have some setups or even advices to share? I've recently bought this sim and im starting in league next week, so setups would be helpful. Also how does weather affect setups? do i even have to make any changes?
Would appreciate some help, and if someone is intrested, here's link for that league:
https://www.republicofsimracers.com/
Unfortunately this is polish league, and everything is in polish, even communication on discord. Rules don't say anything about drivers from different countries tho

is that supposed to be a suggestion?
HELLO!
Can you explain what do you mean by "can't get my gears in some cars"?

Probably wasn't LFS, but i didn't played it 15 years ago. I can't think of a game that had it, but i know another game that has something similar, but it's not exactly manual. Check Spintires on youtube, you will see how shifting gears works there, but it's not racing game.
Also one thing you can do, and what actually helped me some time ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ ... ng_and_racing_video_games
Here is wikipedia all racing games list. You can sort it by release date, and try to find familiar title name, or just randomly google titles which were release 15 years ago or earlier.

Yeah and half a second per lap slower. Don't try to fool me! (althought i will give it a go and check myself, thanks for advice)
I hate RAC even thought i've only driven it for a few miles, but i will hope to join tommorow
Did you honk at me while i was in the pits at last lap?
Btw, i've checked after the race, and i could lap at least ~0.5s quicker without that annoying damage. Also something finally *clicked* in my driving on last laps, so i hope to gradually come back to my old form (not like i was good before, but i think better than now
).

).Quick update.
From the official info they gave earlier, and from what could be seen on kickstarter - the early bird offer (the cheapest) should be over. But i've checked and it seem like there's extra 48h, not sure though if it's mistake, or they added this extra time.
Im also glad to say that i've backed them for the full bundle option. Hoping to make some review in the end of 2018, or beginning of 2019

If someone is interested, they launched kickstarter yesterday. The price went up, but it is still cheap compared to other DD wheels. Here's link: Kickstarter.
Scroll down for the prices, or you can also check it on their kickstarter page. All of the below information that i've wrote, you can also find on their kickstarter and in the viedos i've linked in pt. 2
Some new facts that are known, and i didn't write them here yet:
1. Now we know the motor torque is 12Nm. For comparison, small mige is 20Nm, AccuForce Pro V2 is 13Nm
2. Some youtube channels which review simracing gear, received the prototype version of the wheel to test. Links here:
Sim Racing Paddock
The Simpit
Basically if you don't want to watch those long videos:
-Wheel
it's pretty decent, strong, and really fast. Like really really fast. In fact The Simpit said that it's even too fast, and should be corrected via drivers. Both youtube guys said, that this wheel doesn't have proper driver yet. So their impression was, that the motor is really good and suitable for a simracing wheel. It's fast, responsive, and smooth, maybe even smoother than others DD wheels.
There are only 2 question marks.
First is: will the drivers be good. The Simpit pointed that wheel might be too fast and responsive, so might need some damping coded in drivers. Basically good software is required to utilize potential of that motor. If they will nail the drivers, then the wheel will be great, and totaly worth money. Seems like the hardware is right, potential is huge, just need proper software which isn't ready just yet.
Second is: durability. There were some issue during reviews, at least one wheel died when tested.
It's totaly fine, because it is just a prototype, so that kind of things are normal, but they need to resolve it, and i believe they can. There are also some minor issues such as not so sturdy mounting, but they already know that, and are working on this things.
-Pedals
Pedals looks even better than wheel. The guys that tested it didn't find any issue with pedals. They didn't failed, construction is very strong and full metal, loadcell brake is great, and the customization is insane. You can change anything you want: initial angle, end angle, force, preload, pad position (horizontal and vertical), pedal position, foot stand position.
It seem that pedals are ready to go, and don't require any additional work.
One small issue they find was with it's unique "mounting". The pedals have a special "clamp" for people that can't hardmount it, which you place under your wheelchair wheels, to keep the pedals in place.
one of the guy from youtube said it worked only to some extent.
Now the prices. You have ~22h left (counting from the date and time of this post) to get the early bird price which is:
$149 Pedals only
$399 Wheel only (with only GT rim)
$549 Bundle that include: Wheel, GT rim, F1 rim, pedals.
after ~22h each offer will be $50 more expensive. The final prices (after release) you can check on kickstarter.
Now the word from me. It is some risk to take advantage of their early prices, as it always is on kickstarter. Also there's some risk that the wheel will not be that good, or might not be durable, althought seems that the pedals are almost risk-free, since it's almost certain they're really high quality, and also feels great. So the pedals right now might be really good deal. Proper full metal contruction, load cell brake, huge customization, for $149. And risk is rather low with that one. I'll probably pledge for the whole bundle offer, but im not sure yet. Anyway that's all, i hope someone will be interested in this, there's already huge interest in this product from simracing community. They reached their $60 000 goal in just 72 minutes.

You should probably make a "Alina Vacariu in 2028" club, that'll be nice, i think she would appreciate
Yeah we should definitely contact that lady, let her now everyone in here loves her
Sadly i dont remember that times, because at that times i was just playing the hell out of demo. I created account only because it became mandatory at some point
Im "active" on forum only since few years, but i know community was great back then, and still is but probably not as large. Anyway im glad you created this thread, i actually learned something new and funny looking at old posts My plan was to change that avatar after like 2h, but i think im keeping it lol
Its funny how this thread turned into button clutch discussion 
EDIT
@Mikus
Ohhh you little troll!
If you want buttonclutch allowed, i suggest you to create your own league, make bc mandatory and see what happens. Bet no one joins expect you xD

And bigger ding dong please
No idea what are you all talking about ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe try to buy it online? Prices should be better, and shipment is very often free.
When it comes to T500, i have heard its more durable and stronger than T300, but T300 is faster, smoother, and more responsive, so basically gives more immersion and better feeling. Both really good wheels but T500 is also quite old already, isn't it?

I can understand that you want T300, it's really nice wheel and you know pros and cons of it, investing in a wheel that is not even produced yet is really big risk. I just wanted to let you know about it, irt's not like im trying to force anyone to make same decision as i did, im just trying to spread some information about this project, because it's surprisingly unpopular, ppl just dont know about it.
The list of supported games is also strange for me, i think that it will be possible to play any game, but it's still strange. Even more strange that on their youtube videos i saw that they have tested their wheel on LFS a lot, and LFS isn't listed.
Anyway T300 is a really great wheel, probably best option for that money. If you will get one, i would appreciate a review of it compared to DFGT

I had exactly same problem as you like one year ago. I had (still have) 8 years old DFGT, wanted something better, and i even had the same budget. I was also considering G29 or T300 alcantara edition. Well IMO G29 is overpriced/outdated. T300 is great wheel. I've read tons of reviews and users feedback about it. Finally i came to conclusion that T300 gives great feeling, a lot better than any logitech. But it has some serious durability problems. Most ppl complain, that during 2 years of warranty, they have several failures. Also Thrustmaster doesn't make it easy, and each time your T300 fails, it's like 1-2 months without it, since you have to answers dozens of questions before they even accept your warranty request. Having that in mind, you have to acknowledge that T300 is most probably a wheel for only 2 years, until the warranty ends, then you will have to buy something else, or spend extra money on repairs. Also there was few opinions that T300 loses some of it smoothness, response and strength after 1-2 months of use, so after that it still feels good to use it, but not that good as when it was brand new. Users says that it also have problems with overheating (it's probably connected with T300 losing smoothness).
Don't get me wrong, it's not like T300 is total crap. Theres also ppl that are happy with it, and didn't had any durability problems, but still theres a risk.
Now i myself decided, that i will not risk buying Thrustmaster, since belt driven wheels are already the past, and direct drive is future. I just thought i will wait for DD wheels to be maybe less expensive and during this time save some more money for it. So im still with DFGT but not long left, since i've found this https://feelvr.game/
for $388 (preoder price) you're getting:
DD wheel (12Nm servo motor), pedals that have clutch and loadcell brake, 2 rims (F1 and GT styled). Ofc it have some downsides.
First we don't know much about it, but we know it will be smallest and lightest DD wheel (it can be good and can be bad), it will also be the weakest (DD wheel), but 12Nm is still a lot for a sim wheel. It's not yet produced on global scale, so we basically know nothing, except parameters. It can turn out shit, or worse durable than thrustmaster. Also you will probably need a wheelstand, and they will start shipping it on may, so still half a year of waiting.
So risk is pretty high, but i just wanted to let you know there's other options than G29 or T300. I decided to take the risk, and even if i will not like it, i still have a chance to sell it without any loss. Considering i will preorder it for $388, and the final price in may will be $770, it shouldn't be a problem to sell it for $400-$500.

Well im still enthusiastic. I know the price $770 because i received an email from them, and they wrote there that the retail price will be $770. $388 is only limited offer for the preorder. Even if it will turn out crap i still think it is well worth it. Like where will you get a DD wheel with loadcell pedals for $388, it is about same price as Thrustmaster T300 RS, there's no way thrustmaster will be better, and the pedals will definitely be hugely superior + clutch pedal. I think even if it will be a lot worse than other DD wheels, there's no way it would be worse than logitech/thrustmaster top wheels. Im ready to taking the risk, because im done with this market. All logitech wheels are outdated with the old gear driven ffb, thrustmaster suffers a lot from durability, fanatec prices are ridiculous, and if someone want truly top notch gear, then DD wheels are the only option, but it requires lots of money and knowledge. And then these guys showed up with cheap plug&play DD wheel, that most ppl can afford. What can i say, they just seem to fit in the gap.
EDIT
As i said, im aware that it can turn out to be really bad wheel, until they wont start selling it we cant know, but i want to take the risk. I can even write a review when i will have it, so the rest of you will get an idea, but then you will have to pay $770 instead of $388.

UPDATE
Just wanted to update this topic, since it looks like something is happening.
-they will probably set kickstarter founding
-they plan to start collecting preorders in january 2018, shippings are planned for may 2018
-beside wheel itself, they will be selling full metal construction pedals with loadcell, also two rims will be available for that wheel.
And now the best. They will be selling a bundle which contain complete wheel, both rims (regular one and F1 styled), and pedals (loadcell) for $770! Comparing it to other DD wheels it's bloody cheap, and you're getting great pedals and second rim for that price, ofc both rims have working buttons and paddles, which is really problematic e.g. in OSW from what i know. If someone think that's not enough, well they have special price offer for people that decide to preorder that bundle, and the price is... $388. $388 for legitimate DD wheel with full metal pedals with loadcell and 2 rims already with buttons and paddles. That's like 3x cheaper than OSW, and OSW you have to build yourself then you have huge problem with buttons, and don't have any pedals.
I know it might look like advertisement, but im just really hyped for that product, and i think that the price is just incredibly low, i will definitely preorder that wheel.
PS. I've just checked AccuForce DD wheel price, and it's $1 299.00, so it's like almost 2x more expensive than FeelVR retail price, and if you look and preorder price, its OVER THREE TIMES CHEAPER, plus you're getting extra rim and great pedals with loadcell, it's just insane. Just wanted to let you know, because it's great opportunity to have really top notch wheel for medium price.
Cheers
EDIT
Forgot to mention that all of that info you can find on their website http://feelvr.game/. All expect the final price (non preorder), which i received via email after singing myself on preorder wishlist

"why does it say on some track mods (for me its all my tracks), it says they cant be played online"
So you meant: why some track mods can't be played online. But what stands for track mod? Is it a layout, modified sings look, totally changed track, or maybe something else?

Simon corner wasnt so smooth. He had good speed in the apex, but on the exit he did slide and lost momentum. Just look at his speedo-meter. Thats why it seem like the other guy gain some advantage while "jumping", but he lost on apex, and simon was closing to him pretty fast, but then simon lost his speed on exit, that's why he wasn't able to overtake. Just look at both of them, its so obvious its fuel lag, but you people like to judge others so much. It really looks like a modern witch hunt, just like eclipsed said.
Might be because fuel went to 0,0% at that moment. I remember that earlier it was possible to see on lfs lazy each drivers fuel left. It was easy to spot fuel bug then. Although my memory might be tricking me, im not sure.
Well, im at work currently, and can't watch it with sound (and it helps), but seems like a well known fuel bug. Will watch it later with sound.
Anyway, don't be mad at the admin. From his perspective it looked much more like actual hack. If i were him, i would have to watch replay few times to not ban you, and i would have my eyes on you later on anyway.
#EDIT
Look an the guages during the time between server refreshes (1s or less during which the car isn't "jumping"), if the car is accelerating smoothly between the "jumps" then it's speed hack. But if the car is decelerating (just like the engine wouldn't run), then it's most likely fuel lag. Now notice that on that replay the RPMs are dropping smoothly most of the time, and jumping up on server refresh. That means that the server "thinks" the engine is not running, while actually it is. That's why i know it's a fuel lag. They are also going uphill, and it makes the car jump even more, that's why it can be easily mistaken with speed hack. So now please don't be so harsh on that guy, my verdict is not guilty
