Perfect timing. I can now get into to main menu and render text.

>>28493361 (OP)
Circuit Forza IS FUCKING DEAD

Man i really fucking hope Polyphony will see some cuts after the shit they pulled on GT7. It's time to admit sim racing belongs on PC.

>>28493407
nice try ian bell

Name a car

Hey autistic loser, Simcade is a thing and there is nothing you can do about it #rekt

>>28493416
gran turismo 7 isn't simcade retard maybe you're looking for forza

>>28493425
i think the physics are a bit goofy when it comes to higher downforce cars and racing slicks. look at how this motherfucker drives, its like he's playing need for speed lmfao https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6sX54tVnYlc

>>28493412
George

acevo multiplayer when

why does oval racing feel more exciting than road racing?

>>28493297
GT5 has already aged better than GT7, at least the single player career. Once GT8 (or GT Sport 2) launches, GT7 dies forever.

>>28493430
Yeah I don't think racing slicks can take those kinds of loads. Even F1 tires have friction limits.
Of course, I bet that 911 is impossibly light and has way more downforce than we know of.

New to this game, is possible make a copy of VW T3 or Chevy corvair in Automation? I am trying make a meme sport van

Second /vgt/ thread in a row died again in early April, after less than 260 posts. I guess it's never coming back now, so I'm dumping my blog here.

Fuck, I wish the Sardegna grind wasn't so dull. Started using a Nissan set-up (GTPlanet 419864) to try to cut down the race time. Naturally, it was out of date so it had to be adjusted to get under 800. Nice to be down in the 1:31s, but using softs gets rough by the end of lap 7, so I stick to mediums. Also can't use the fuel map to the stated potential; so I use FM4-6, saving fuel to use for one lap at FM1 with little/no traffic, then down to FM3 for the last few laps.

I get better race times, near to my Mazda time, but still can't break the 24 minute barrier. Also applied the set-up to my Jaguar XJR-9 and Porsche 962C. Both the Nissan and Jag are now past their 7Ks engine repair. I'll be running the Porsche until the repair, then I'll switch to the Sauber-Mercedes. I'll now try to use all my Group C's to a similar mileage.

Also fucking sucks that my faggot router failed on the morning of the LeMans24. I'd been watching and posting in all the pre-Saturday session threads. Also lost days of my GT7 daily workout.

>I did pop back to GT4 to start a new save.
It was nice to buy my beloved Lotus Elise again, but was disappointed at how little it was actually required outside of a few events.

Selling the prize car from Capri Rally (Easy), Stars And Stripes and the German touring car event is crucial to getting some good credits and basically speed-running the game with Bob.

Other crucial early cars are the Mercedes SL65 (modded past 800BHP) for Euro races, and the Ford GT (modded past 650BHP) for burgerland races. Winning the Legends of the Silver Arrow Mercedes event gets you the touring car to farm the DTM event for about 900K per 15 minutes.

Buy one of the cheap Le Mans cars (although I bought the Mazda 787B) and walkover all the eligible events that run lesser cars. Getting the Minolta Toyota from winning the El Capitan 200 Miles is crucial to beat pretty much the rest of the game. Getting the turbo puts it above 1100BHP. I remember it being a monster around the Nordschleife back in the day (weird, as the IRL car was a failure).

Also managed Bob to win the Fuji endurance race with the Mazda by just 20 seconds from the Nissan. He got an easier victory with the Minolta Toyota. The Jaguar XJR-9 is similarly powerful when upgraded, but is only awarded at 50% completion.

Then I had Bob win a bunch of the extreme events in the Minolta Toyota, and all the endurance races, aside from the 24H races - Never again! Though it sucks that I can't win or buy the based Bentley Speed 8, or the Audi, or the Formula GT.

It's also a shame that Bob hits a wall in his skill level and never gets better stats. There's also a couple of races that he just can't win.

I also used the photo mode on there for the first time in many years. Also got annoyed at how difficult it was to get the Bentley to show up in a race, so I could photograph it. I wish that had the options that GT7's photo mode has. I just love the cinematic 12:5 ratio so much in GT7 and so I miss it in GT4.

As for other GT7 ramblings, I have almost completed my purchasing of all the 10M+ cars. Now gone way past 400M cr. in total earnings. Not bad for starting in early December. Then it's just a question of buying whatever Hagerty cars that I have not bought yet (and I have let a few go, while waiting for the expensive ones; though not the DB3S), while letting credits accrue for a while, then going on a spree at Brand Central.

I have also fitted all the largely meh parts that I have won from roulettes to the cars that I DO have, and am disappointed at the amount of duplicate parts there were, AND that we cannot sell parts and engines (some of them being worth over 1M cr.!). At least with winning a dupe car, that's okay as at least we can turn those into credits for something we want. I won a second Valkyrie but haven't had the heart to sell it.

In June, I dropped from three to two Sardegnas per day (from my Dec-Jan cap of six, that got me past 90M cr.!). The Weekly Challenge races don't usually breach that race distance cap, as I autistically love keeping my daily workout graph totally consistent. I also found that using the Ferrari Circuit Challenge, to make nice money for shorter races that make up the miles, pretty useful. Then if I only have a short distance left to my daily cap, I use a custom race at Special Stage Route X to take it to the precise distance. I am insane.

Given the bullshit capacity limit on replays, I am using Scapes more for photos, but I hate how limited it is compared to Walk Mode in race replays. Also don't like how limiting/distant most of the Scapes set-ups are, and the restriction on zooming (and lighting). I get a tiny amount of likes and occasional reposts. I finally got my first follower! I do save the replays for the Weekly Challenge races, and post a photo for each race.

For the run up to the Le Mans 24 Hours, I kitted out my Valkyrie with the WEC livery and took some photos in Scapes and in a twlight run around La Sarthe. I was going to post them on the weekend of the race, but my fucking router died. FML.

Though no-one cares, this is the only place I can post this multi-part blog entry. I've edited this text file a few times as time passed, waiting for a new thread to post it in. It is a shame that /vgt/ dies and no-one cares about GT7 in these threads.

FIN

>>28494039
Why not just migrate to /vm/

inshallah obg shall become the most active thread on /o/

>>28494039
i wouldn't say nobody cares about gt7 it's more like i'm not buying some piece of shit snoy console for one game that already got me for that TWICE and disappointed me both times.
kaz wore out my trust with 5 and 6, if he wants me on gt7 he will put it on pc

Drifting in the sim with a proper round 12 inch wheel instead of a small D shaped wheel feels so much better.

i moved onto irenting because gt7 just kinda feels like bumper cars when there isn't much consequence for contact when the damage settings for the daily races are low

i also cant use my sick new heusinkveld pedals on it until gt7 comes on pc

Holy fuck that GT7 guy is autistic

How do you motivate yourself to practice?

>>28494261
i just enjoy playing racing games

>>28493824
You're kidding, the game with the absolutely insane level grind? Unless you're ignoring that and just talking about completing all the races.

>>28494039
Mix in some WTC600 @ LeMans and WTC700 @ Spa to avoid burning out.

>>28494324
We played the beta I think that was pre Covid, and it was fun for the gimmick but it also did not work very well at all iirc.

>>28494445
ok how about an f-zero gx league then

dolphin has netplay

>>28494347
Naturally, or forcefully?

>>28494471
whiplash

whiplash's netplay still works great using dosbox's ipx-ip emulation and the latest versions of dosbox-staging run it at much higher framerates, which is important for network play stability, so it may actually be possible now to get 16 players in a race, if we can gather that many.

https://www.dosbox-staging.org/

>>28493384
fixed the images

>>28494698
whats this nerd shit lol

>>28494716
The nerdest shit I've ever done. Decompiling the game and making it build and run on modern machines without needing DOSBox.

>>28494721
just hire an indian to do it for you

>>28494724
Too poor. I need to buy tires for my real racecar.

>>28494730
thats why we drive digital race cars instead

>>28494515
forcefully until it becomes natural

Gt7 is only good for drifting.

>>28494765
lol. you can’t even drift in GT7. at least not when using proper technique.
t. irl + assetto driftGOD

holy shit I can't believe that just worked

>>28494765
i only like gt7 for driving shitboxes and regular road cars. kinda sucks for everything else

>>28495055
It's pretty much the opposite problem of Forza
Cars in Forza aren't fun to drive because they're all understeery boats thanks to the terrible tire model, but it's more excusable with slower road cars
GT7 has tires that are too good and make road cars feel good, but race cars all feel overly sharp, responsive, and pushable

>>28494981
i literally don't have any image macros that properly convey my immense excitement

>>28495082
GT7 tires are understeery as fuck though. unless you’re picking racing tires which are only suitable for actual race cars in GT7

sent a refund request for LMU, this shit is ass irenting is unironically better

>>28495403
Filtered. You can't justify anything irenting has over LMU.

>>28495406
it has worse ffb which is an impressive feat

>>28493824

made me reply

NR2003 with mods is the ultimate simulator

Whiplash is the one true simulator

stimulate this bussy

whiplash goes in the arcade category but teeters towards simcade since it simulates hydrogen engines

how does a hydrogen engine differ from a regular one

What the fuck is this shit? Another skill issue?

>>28494277
>You're kidding, the game with the absolutely insane level grind?

GT7 is way worse in that regard and doesn't even have a traditional GT career to redeem itself.

>>28495436
Its not as bad on emulation, which should be the way everyone replays the game now. It even has universal wheel support on RPCS3 from a recent update. I just hope they fix the upscaling bug that prevents us from playing on 4k without glitches...

>>28495436
The menus are awesome in GT5, they're sophisticated and nice looking. Some retards can't seem to grasp more dynamically placed menu items and not necessarily have anything lined up in a column. However the real issue is that the PS3's slow ass HDD made going through each screen really fucking slow, even down to scrolling through cars. This can be somewhat alleviated by installing a SSD to your PS3.

>>28495926
Stick to the PC version kiddo

>>28496246
GT Sport has the best GT menus: functional, elegant, varied, classy. GT5 is the second best. Yes, it can be a bit slow at times on original hardware, but it certainly has SOVL. Japanese jazz fusion fits that game well. GT6 was an upgrade in usability and practicality, but it was completely soulless compared to every other GT.

iRacing has the most sovlful UI. the black boxes make me wet

ProStreet finished
I am now 6/16 (or 15 since I'll probably skip hot pursuit) on Black Box era onwards NFS games

>>28496249
(You)
In 1999, my PC could barely run the Scrabble game I got for my birthday so the PS1 version was all I had.

>nfs shift has cockpit cam
umm... based?
driving feels good as well, traces of prostreet but arcadey enough that it feels more like an nfs game
also like that the physics are wacky again

>>28493361 (OP)
now that forza is dead lets take a look on what Kaz thoughts are on Forza, back on the Forza 3 launch

>>28496885
that's project cars -2 to you

>>28496905

HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO MEEE
maybe it's good t10 is dying

>>28496373
GT5:Prologue was the best. GT5 should have kept that menu.

All the racing genre needs is rF3

>>28496653
risto pls

Met this girl on track a few days ago. Just saying

*looks around for the person who asked*

>>28496947
>tattoos
hope you told that whore to fuck off

>>28496955
no I did not. her dad owns multiple track ready bimmers (the M2 behind her is one of them) and I want to drive all of them.

>>28496966
god these are so ugly and obnoxious

>>28496947
Nah but you ain't cracked yet nor have u got her # doe

>muh sovl aesthetic fancy menus
This is what peak performance looks like:
No gay fucking intro, goes straight into the main menu.
Simple 2d background, no need to load any 3d shit. No music.
Pressing "find servers" will show a server browser that remembers what tab you were on last time.
It's possible in 10 seconds to go from clicking "Play" on steam to load into a favourite server running de_dust2.

On the other hand we have shit like Dirt 3 where going a few menus back is a fucking chore with the retarded animation.

Simple, fast, efficient.

live for speed is the peak experience for simple start and play

>>28497320
>8 minute unskipable intro on first time about the history of society/pop culture and cars

Yep it's GT7 time

[spoiler]i kinda love how insane Polyphony is[/spoiler]

>>28497428
found the /v/ scrub

>>28496885
The helmet cam from shift 2 is way better,. Sadly, there’s no excuse to sell more monitors if every racing game has that

>>28496885
ams2 looking good

>>28496926
thats LMU and its shit
>>28496947
thats a man

>>28497320
>no music

Only if you played the SOVLESS steam version. I'm glad I grew up playing pirated 1.6 on Lan Houses with this menu that, to this day, is a nostalgic NUKE: https://youtu.be/XUfdaaIA9Jo?si=SHFYARDZAzqswytk

Yes, they took the menu music from CZ (which no oner has ever played, ever) and put it where it rightfully belonged.

>>28496885
>driving feels good as well
You fucking with me? I feel like I'm driving on a fucking skating rink with Shift 2.

>>28497571
that's not shift 2

>>28497572
Doesn't both Shift games plays the same? I don't know what the fuck were they thinking with the physics but every single cars feels slippery for some reason.

Does Assetto Corsa Competizione has better career mode than current Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo?

>>28497580
dunno, I haven't played shift 2 yet but I've had no issues with shift
it's kind of a balance between the weight of prostreet cars with the not-so-accurate arcade physics of carbon

>>28497584
lmao no

pcars actually has a decent career mode though if you want to simulate being a race car driver

>>28497585
Everyone complained how cars in Shift 1 and 2 oversteers a lot, feels like they're on ice which made the game unplayable.

>>28497593
I was wondering cause ACC is on steam sale

>>28497595
yeah I haven't had that problem so far, I've gone through all the tier 1 races
I came straight from prostreet so maybe I'm just more accustomed to it, I dunno

>>28497600
the race cars in the shift games handle like SHIT

>Both Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismo peaked at fourth entry
It's a strange feeling

>>28497602
skill issue

>>28497606
What fucking funny that's what the devs said when players complained and look where they at now lol

>>28497609
ah damn they only got out, uh, 12 more games?
what a failure

>>28497614
they meant SMS not criterion

Didn't the developers sabotage the game because EA wanted to make an arcade racer while Mad Studio wanted to make a sim racer?

>>28497616
oh I didn't even realize, I thought they were all black box, criterion, or ghost
still, SMS is functioning at least, there are worse ways to end up

>>28497606
Not him, but parroting out ''skill issue'' at every legitimate criticism of a game is a testment of low IQ and/or insecurity. It tries to stifle discussion in an attempt to ridicule and ostracize anyone who dares to notice anything that could imply their favorite game isn't perfect.

>>28497628
he said the handling is bad, I said I'm not having issues, then he said the handling is shit
which part of that am I supposed to respond to seriously?

*poof* gone
silence

>>28497630
I don't know, maybe ask ''why do you think the handling is shit?'' and go from there? Or if you completely disagree, you could simply ignore him. But ''skill issue'' makes no sense there. A few threads back I remember saying casually that rallying with FWD cars felt disgusting. Someone like you replied with ''skill issue'', even though it was clearly not about difficulty (FWD cars are notoriously easier and simpler to control than RWD, specially at rally), it made no sense there either. I blame FROMFAG fanboys for starting this trend.

>>28497647
he already said why and I said I was not having that problem
you fool

>>28497651
The point is still going over your head huh?

>>28497658
no you're just overanalyzing shitposting on a korea cartoon forum

On a different note, it seems like some people can't grast the concept that ''harder'' doesn't necessarily mean more realistic, or more fun, or better. Several real life rally drivers criticized RBR for having exagerated braking times, making the simulation harder and more frustrating than real life for no good reason. But try saying the same thing on the internet and see the RBRetards replying with ''skill issue''. DR2.0 is better in that regard, the braking times are more realistic and it makes for not only a better sim, but a better gaming experience. The bosses from Elden Ring are too aggresive with long strings of gapless chain moves that forces you to memorize their patterns through trial and error and then wait for their boring ass dance before you can tap R1 once and repeat the process untill he dies. Its not fun, and its not the right way of doing difficulty. You don't have to be clever, or resourceful, you can't adapt on the fly, you can't overcome the challenge simply using the game's fundamentals and your own skills. You have to play simon says. DS3 had way better bosses than ER. We can go beyond shutting down every discussion with ''skill issue'', sometimes there are valid criticisms to be had, sometimes its just a matter of preference...

on a different note

irenting's AI is actually really fun to race against. career mode when?

>>28497550
no that’s a woman. I smelled her and no man smells this beautiful.

Is the PC port of ProStreet is compatible with a 360 controller? I'm thinking about downloading it on Abandonware.

Why haven't Assetto "modders" tried ripping iRacing shit into the game

>>28498021
why would they spend time ripping off garbage?

all of ea wrc is 15bux atm, not DR2.0 gameplay wise but i would recommend it for the amount of content and long stages

>>28498049
I rather play RBR than any of that slop

>>28498070
it's not bad desu, i enjoy the 20min+ stages. of course modded RBR will never be beaten.

>>28498080
It will, when Kunos join forces with ex-codies devs to make AC Rally in a couple years. RBR belongs in a museum.

>>28498086
i mostly meant it as an exaggeration since non arcade rally game development has been so miniscule in the last 20 years

How did /ovg/ scammed me into buying iRacing?

>Dirt is dead
>GRID is dead

old trailblazer replay from dirt 2 https://files.catbox.moe/lrlllz.mp4

>>28498121
>an arcade racer with roads which aren't as wide as an Olympic-size pool

Based Prime Codies.

>>28498137
These roads are wide as fuck. Check out the stages in CMR2.0, there are plenty of narrow roads, going off them will slow you down.

>>28498137
back then those were considered overly wide tracks and i kind agree, you can cut way too much.
though in dirt 3 it was even worse.

the only real rally stage in dirt 2 was croatia, used to throw the mk2 escort around that so much. it didnt have any trailblazer events in career so kinda says a lot.
pic not related, just thought it was funny how dirt 2 had amd ruby livery

>>28498152
Had no money during the 360 era so missed all of these. Are they worth playing in 2025?

>>28498156
if you like arcade racers then i would say dirt 2 is definitely worth it, dirt 3 is kinda meh with all the gymkhana stuff but it has its moments. the first GRID is one of the best racers codies have made.
also you might have to download patches for dirt 2 and grid that remove games for windows live, dirt 3 had it removed.
>tfw having grid menu idling on a warm summer evening while doing other stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myYTC_CNZWM

>>28498214
I hate it

>>28493882
Yes, although they don't have air cooled engines

I think I've finally reached a level in rally and drift in which I could benefit from a triple screen setup. The limited fov of a single screen sucks.

>>28497743
>career mode for a game you need an active sub to even boot

>>28498298
embrace VR

>>28498320
I'm 90% sure that would just make me end up playing less frequently due to the awkwardness and clunkyness of dealing with VR. Not to mention eye strain and possibly even motion sickness. I think triple screens are more practicle, the safe choice.

i study practicle physics

>>28498365
so fucking dystopic... like in my YA novels....

>>28498391
Is this what buyers remorse looks like? Dude, not everyone wants to strap a brick to their faces to go around some laps, its that simple. If you're into that, good for you, but I'll be going the tried and tested way of our ancestors: the trusty triple.

>>28498427

im too poor for a vr headset so i just play with my single monitor and gamesaar controller

>OOOH the clunkiness
>I CAN’T STAND the CLUNKINESS

Reject Onions-Glasses, embrace Triple-Screen tradition. I don't even like racing with headphones and its dangling cable, let alone the dystopian (this word kills the buyers remorse autist) abomination that is VR.

my poor detector is going crazy rn

>>28498514
sorry thats me ill move

>>28498431
More like Brave New World, actually.

does beamng have erratic, nonsensical performance for anyone else? it will sometimes randomly dip from around 60-80 fps down to 15-20, the "cause" is pretty random like resetting a car or a camera change and has nothing to do with whats actually on screen

>>28498597
Have you tried using a computer with parts past 2004?

Sims need to have you do a quiz on the history of motorsports and basic car knowledge then a peer reviewed thesis on racing theory before they allow you online

Oh neat, I didn't realize the airplanes were different and in line with what would fly over specfic race tracks

>>28502137
GT7 is barely a sim thoughbeit. it doesn't properly simulate a GT3 car's traction control cutoff as it cuts off too much power and the ABS aids are too simplified

>sega touring car championship had animated pitstops back in 1996 but irenting still doesnt
LMAO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhvHYOhyC6Y

>>28502401
Maybe, but GT7 is simenough while having AI in a whole different league compared to everyone else, so its probably closer to what he's looking for.

Sim devs are too autistic to stop chasing diminishing returns in tire model physics and other technical but inconsequential elements in detriment of good game structure, career, progression, netcode, ranked matchmaking, art, design, music and style etc.

They need to keep those nerds in a tight leash, they need focus, they need a vision, WE need a new Kaz for this generation ASAP.

>>28502509
whats going to happen to sophy when GT7's servers eventually shut down like with gt sport

>>28502536
Sophy runs on server side, not locally?

>>28502541
the tech write up they made for it said that it specifically runs server side and not locally on a ps5

>>28502487
But iRacing does have it for nascar

>>28502551
nobody plays nascar it only has like 2 splits on iracing

>>28502536
same thing that happened to sport's liveries. and gt6's track editor.

I completely forgot that JDM: Japanese Drift Master was coming out this year until I saw it in the summer sale. Bought the base game and pirated the extra DLC stuff.

Did anyone here play the game? How is it? I'm about to launch it for the first time.

LMU has such shitty FFB why do people shill this again

FFB isn't real. Also skill issue.

>>28502546
I suppose it will be lost forever, then. To be fair, Sophy in GT7 is just a beta test. GT8 on PS6 will probably run Sophy locally.

>>28501848
iRacing has really good AI but the fact you have to have a sub to even play the single player is criminal

>FFB isn’t real
no video game is real. does that mean it’s okay for them to be dogshit?

what game has the most SATISFYING turbo lag / spooling simulation?
not necessarily the most realistic, but most fun to drive

>>28502509
I don’t get the GT Sophy hype. It’s just as gay as the default AI. cars will still crash into you because why the fuck not

>>28502965
>turbo lag
>fun
Nani?

>>28502968
being mindful of the spooling in your gigantic death wish turbo through the corners on an ancient race car is fun, yes

>>28502978
No race car should have a turbo. Especially „ancient“ ones.

Horses for courses.

>M4 in ACC
>Numb, somewhat ponderous boat with a snappy rear, shitty outdated TCS
>M4 in LMU
>telepathic steering with godly turn-in, still somewhat snappy but not that bad
Why? Is it as simple as the reduced power in the LMGT3 spec making the rear more manageable and the rest just being differences in FFB modeling?
I don't think it's the tire model. They feel pretty similar.

>>28503122
different car setups.
find a proper M4 setup for ACC and it’ll be night and day

>>28501595
loved trashing people in the arcade, they always picked automatic crap, I would pick the yellow/orange manual and fuck them up the ass.

>>28503144
Maybe.
I'll keep fucking around with ACC. As it is, the worst thing I noticed about default setups in LMU I'd that tires tens to be underinflated, which only occasionally happens in ACC.

It’s time to move on from my wheel stand and get an actual cockpit with seat and ultrawide/triple monitor.
What rig do I want? Should be below 1000bux. pretty much all of the renown brands have something to offer and it all looks the same

>>28503144
>>28503247
After putting in some effort I was able to (slightly) best my best lap time at Spa (set in the Ferrari 296).
I think the #1 thing for getting stability into the rear was cutting a little rear camber, a little more rear diff load, and lowering the rear bumpstop range.
I cut springrates across the board, as well. The steering has a whole lot more feel after the effort.

GT4 is uglier than GT3, and GT6 is uglier than GT5.

>>28503769
agree to agree

>>28503769
>I'm gonna state an obviously correct fact
Daring today aren't we?
GT4 is worse in almost everyway except car list over GT3

It doesn't matter, stylization, color grading and aesthetics are no more. From now on every sim and simcades will look exactly the same with meme-tracing and flat, realistic lighting. No fun allowed.

>>28503769
Absolutely not.
GT4's car detail alone is way above gt3, plus while gt3 is more "colorful" gt4 is not grey, it has way more complex tracks with varied locales.Like, nothing in gt3 gets close to this

>>28503839
Car details are better but the atmosphere overall is way worse, can't even compare it really. GT4 moving to more realistic lightning and dropping the classic orange HUD was a mistake and every Gran Turismo since has looked generic thanks to this awful decision

I know that the UI is made super clean to make it easier read what the car is doing and I'm aware that newer GT games let you turn off the UI and you can watch your speed in the cockpit view at night all glowing and asthenic. But it's still weird theres no option for a classic UI I mean it's so clean it's fucking sterile.

>>28496920
GT5 Prolouge's presentation in general was so much more polished than GT5. Menus, music, that tracking shot animation before a race, even the sounds were better (I compared some cars back to back once)

>>28496947
>posted by some pajeet on fb, 7 months ago

I do have one major criticism for GT3. Why the fuck are their no volume options? Fucking Goldfinger's trying to do a cover of 99 Red Balloons but it sounds like an ant trying to talk to me while the car goes BBBZZZZZZ BBZZZZZ BBBBZZZZZZZZ! Unless you drive a V8 in which case it goes FRRRRRTT FFRRRTTTTT FFFRRRRRTTTTTTT! What the fuck were they thinking? They payed Snoop Dogg to make a song and you can't even hear it because the inlines and V8's are buzzing and farting at you on a permanent 99 volume.

>>28496947
Just realized all npcs in gt games are guys,no girls

>>28503929
The classic UI would feel completely out of place when the menus, presentation, music and overall vibe of GT7 is ''sterile'' to begin with.

>>28503930
I'm gonna try to emulate GT5 Prologue on RPCS3 to see for myself, have nothing to do today.

>almost 30 splits for GT3s at spa in irenting
it's over, GT7 lost and iRenting won

>>28503622

>paying the get someone's sloppy seconds they built around their own driving style is the same as having a race engineer build a setup from your own feedback
paying for shitulator setups might be the most retarded thing a simdad could do, takes like a couple days tops to learn making your own setups

>>28504383
if the sim im playing doesnt have fixed setup races then its not a sim worth playing

doing setups yourself is for faggots

>>28504386
ok I take it back playing fixed setup slop might be worse than paying for setups

acctrannys and LMUchuds in shambles

>>28504432
How exactly is it better than ACC or LMU
You're just spouting shit without anything to back it up

>>28504441
it has more than 2 people playing it

>>28504447
Maybe there's a non-steam client everyone uses but theres ~500 players on iracing right now during peak yuro hours while there's ~4100 on ACC, 3,400 on LMU
I really want to know what the fuck you're talking about

>>28504463
this is how many people are logged into the iracing UI right now. most people dont get the steam version. this is more than LMU and ACC combined obviously

>Maybe there's a non-steam client everyone uses

>>28504467
This is just how many iRacing subs have their pcs turned on. The iRacing helper service you can see in your taskbar is what contributes to that number

>>28504471
*task manager, and this runs whether your UI is open or not

>>28504471
even if thats true, does LMU/ACC have this many splits? this is just a single series

>>28504477
Not him but the most I've personally seen is 42 splits of 20.

How is Wreckfest 1 doing nowadays? I have been looking for an arcade-ish (as long as it's comfortable with a controller) game with a somewhat active multiplayer community and without the cancer progression of Horizon.

>>28503839
>it has way more complex tracks with varied locales.Like, nothing in gt3 gets close to this
Those are just flat .jpgs retard

only thing that GT3 does better is the physics, but even then it doesn't feel as fun as GT2's physics. it's like a more sterile version of it, might be because of it running at 60 fps. the rest of the game is honestly quite shit

I was so disappointed by how cold GT4 looked as a kid. The colours were so muted comparatively.

iracing is a fucking scam.
drop the subscription fee or the cash shop or I’ll sue you

What are the odds of picrel being good?
It’s weird to think we will be getting a complete sim day1, no early access garbage.
With modding support and stuff.
I don’t trust them

>>28504655
Sim-lab, or just buy 8020 profiles from aliexpress and make it yourself.

fun for three days until you realize you just bolted a bunch of useless non functional plastic to your rig that ruins your FOV, takes up a shitload of space and you have to throw it away when youre done because nobody will want it

i do like the idea of carpeting/enclosing parts of the rig though, seems comfy. would just rather custom design and fabricate (functional) dashboard components myself that fit a sim rig better.

>>28504762

>>28506026
See if there’s a bundle for the McLaren wheel. It’s quite good for circuit racing with GT3’s and (probably) open wheel cars.
The regular CSL wheel is not even close to as well-suited. However it’s fine for road cars and rallying.

>>28506068
i ordered it from amazon with the mclaren gt3 wheel since they sell fanatec stuff on there now. i dont really like round rims for actual racing and that seems to be the only bundles on fanatec's site

using your own phone as a monitor is miles better than VR. Don't fall for it.

>>28506315
Why would you choose to strap a headache inducing brick to your face for a mere 90 to 110 degrees of fov when you can get 200 degrees with a triple monitor setup? Just get a new desk and monitor arms and it will still be cheaper than VR, which is a very expensive gimmick.
