Are you also the dude who posts that game on /vr/ all the time?
>>28520705No but the guy you're referring to posts here.
>>28520705There may be a few of us doing it. I am the guy decompiling the game, however I am not the OP of this thread. I posted it most recently in /vr/, but it's also the only time I have ever done so personally. I forgot /vr/ existed lmao.
whiplash chads
we are SO back
>>28520742>I am the guy decompiling the gameNeat. How's that work? You make a script that translates one assembly language to another?
>>28520751I'm mostly using IDA. It uses heuristics to turn the asm into C-like pseudocode. It looks like shit when you first load up an exe but once you start naming things and defining structs it begins to turn into something more readable. When I am satisfied that I understand a function and the data structures it accesses completely I copy the IDA generated pseudocode into my actual C file and fix it up so it builds.
>>28520764Based insight, thx. C programming is tight.
>>28520155 I played it a lot during Covid because the online was active there, but desu it's pretty dead now. It's got a lot of content and it drives really well, but to me SP AI will never be interesting. They are making a total revamp of the ranked stuff later this year so it might be worth it at that point if it revitalizes it. If you decide to buy the VIP pack buy the currency on their website it's cheaper https://www.raceroomstore.com/shop_en/list_page?cat=24
You can also try all the cars in the game for free if you want to try it out before you buy.
>>28520734I bought this instead of MK64 because I wanted to be different.
My friends laughed at me.
>>28520693 (OP)>>28520742>>28520764what's the end goal of this project? just running natively on modern systems?
>>28520849Whiplash Season Pass Premium Expansion Pack DLC
>>28520849First I will make a version of the game that is very faithful to the original source code but runs on modern systems. Since I am using SDL it should be pretty portable even to web and phones. Then I'll fork the project and start making improvements. Remove the while(1)s, unlock the framerate, infinite draw distance, hardware accelerated graphics, network multiplayer that doesn't require being on a vlan, lots of ideas.
>>28520876nice, good luck
>>28520693 (OP)I found out automation patched the glitch where large engines need to be bump started in beamng
I hate this patch, I want my malaise shitboxes to come with such shitty starters that they needed to be pushed first
https://streamable.com/a9ovud car select works
>>28520876>mfw whiplash 2 will finally come out on dreamcast
Is there a modern package for Whiplash? Tried the ovg launcher, shit was stuttering (idk if that's expected). Mounted the CD with the music onto dosbox-x and now I wouldn't get any audio
>>28521568use dosbox-staging, it has much better performance
also, you may need to configure the audio again by running the whiplash installer from the dosbox prompt as the addresses of the emulated hardware might be different
>>28520876how about fixing the distorted UV mapping of cars in the fork
>>28521584You sure? I installed the CD from the wiki, all the cars had different colours and the game was running terribly. On a side note, what retard wrote that shit? I got no CD music, despite the claims on the wiki.
>>28521620I wrote the wiki
what part is wrong?
it sounds like your game has a leftover save file from whoever complied the package you downloaded, just delete fatal.ini in the fatdata folder to reset the game. Do the other sounds work?
as for it "running terribly" you will have to be way more specific, regular release dosbox as provided with the wiki dl actually never ran the game very well, it's better to use one of the ports like x or daum or staging.
>>28521645also it's not installing you want to do, you have to select "configure sound and music" or whatever and select CD audio in the music device selection if you want that
>>28521645I assumed you were making the packages as well. I took the standalone CD listed in the wiki and installed it (the "non-lite with CD music").
The game runs okay with VGA, setting it to SVGA kills performance. There is no CD audio, it's all midi. The race wouldn't start without CD, so I am sure I got it mounted. The car colours are different as well, so, whoever uploaded the image, uploaded an outdated game (not the rerelease) without CD music.
I suppose I can change the launcher's DOSBOX but still...
>>28521656you've done something wrong when copying the game files over to a different dosbox build and are playing an already installed copy of the game with the Advanced car set enabled, the disk images provided are ripped from a retail big box release and include all audio tracks. I'm literally listening to it right now.
type FORMULA1 as your name then go to the game type menu, and there will be a new car set option to change the vehicles back to standard.
as for the music follow my webm. If CD audio still does not work you might have the image mounted wrong, my auto exec is "imgmount d ./IMAGE/whiplashpl.cue -t iso"
the game was quite hard on hardware of it's era too and dosbox can't keep up, but again I highly recommend using staging over any other dosbox version, it runs the game like a raped ape compared to the others, and didn't exist back when we made the wiki or packs.
>>28521660nvm on the music side then. dosbox staging still runs it worse with SVGA compared to the launcher
>>28521672what kind of computer are you trying to run it on?
>>28521678I haven't touched the dosbox settings. 1070 with a 6700k
>>28521678I see that the launcher sets the cycles to max. Wouldn't that mess up the game?
>>28521690no, it's required, the game needs every ounce of horsepower the emulator can muster.
I do not use the launcher or make the launcher, I don't use the original version of dosbox or db-x, so I really don't know what to tell you.
might try setting speed_mods to true in staging config file but idk it doesn't make any sense it runs bad for you, you're on your own, sorry
>>28520809They changed the conversion rate for their currency making it way more expensive, the 10k vrp used to go for 50 quid. On top of that they keep increasing the cost of their content while the quality of it is 10 years behind. Recent super touring pack looks like a Race07 mod with a bit better textures
>>28521712Well, after trying both max and auto, the game runs near perfectly with dbox-staging.Thanks for the help.
>>28521615I'm not an artist so I can't really fix the way a 64x64 square is stretched across a wide rectangle. Best I could do is AI upscale. I can however make a hardware accelerated graphics engine which uses normal uv mapping and paves the way for someone else to make nice textures. A very easy thing I can do right away is improve the software rendering logic by replacing all the 16.16 fixed point math with floats or even doubles. That would get rid of the weird way textures and polygons sort of walk or wobble around like a PS1, instead they would be nice and perfectly calculated.
>>28521734there is no need to get rid of the soul
the cars are texture mapped in such a way the distortions make them look more detailed for example the doors of all cars have a panel gap at the hinge area that looks the way it does because of the way the polygons directly under the side window are warped. If you "corrected" this to be square the cars wouldn't look right.
I think it's fucking sick you basically have a PS1 era graphics engine without any modern bullshit, it's not unreal or unity, it's all whiplash
>>28521772True, the car textures at least, were drawn with the stretch in mind. Better precision might look nice though.
Also, in reverse engineering these software rendering functions I learned a new graphics thing, perspective-correct texture mapping. You know how the textures look kinda fucked up and wonkus in the 3DFX version (and track editor lol). I can fix that now. No more tweaked top taillight or weird notch in the side window. They'll draw straight even with hardware acceleration.
I really wish HP2010 had less Burnout driving mechanics. Nice scenery, comfy car models and good engine sounds, but all felt more or less the same.
>automated countersteer during powerslides and extreme engine braking
>>28521772idk man, to me it still looks like an oversight
>>28521921soul vs soulless
Special Event: /ovg/ Le Mans '67
July 26th 2025 at 18 UTC.
This is a quick and dirty classic Le Mans event using the 1966 Le Mans Mod.
Rules are simple:
-1 hour and 20 mins race (so 1/20th of Le Mans or about twice the length of the real life Le Mans Classic races)
-You may use any car you can find an Assetto Corsa mod of, provided it's from 1967 or older. ANY car. I don't care what you rock up in, this is a fun event. If you don't know what to pick go to Assetto World
-If said car is not a Kunos Default car, you must provide a link to a TESTED MOD that you've confirmed works in the doc. I will test all of them when you submit, if they don't work you will have to drive the backup car
-We will do a Le Mans style start. That means you gotta get in your seat and get ready to drive when the green flag drops, NOT set off
Winner is strangely enough the person to make it the furthest in 1h20
-If you are le retarded and haven't thought that far, please test what it's like to pit the car you're choosing. You will need it unless it has a gargantuan fuel tank.
I would say read more on the Wiki but this is pretty much it https://wiki.get-good.net/index.php?title=Le_Mans_%2767
Go sign up on the doc!
>>28522187can I sit across the room in my office chair and wheel in for the start
>>28522187>AC modwhen are we doing iracing leagues
>>28522208only if you enter as a garage 56 handicap with exclusively hand controls (and normally you use pedals with your wheel)
>>28521921>>28522114That's part of the perspective corrected texture rendering I was talking about. The software rendering in game looks much straighter. I think I can fix this with a smarter shader in hardware rendering.
>>28522295Ah nevermind, the door and number still look stretched some even in the software rendering. I can probably fix these fugly hardware rendering problems though.
>>28522338I can also definitely make a car texture editor that should help any pixel artists that want to try and straighten it out or just make custom skins. That is on the list of things to do anyway.

>>28522187I did a bunch of laps (just a couple per car) to set some reference lap times with eligible kunos cars and a couple of mods for this event so you don't have to wonder what the pace is like. Also in case it wasn't obvious, picking a car with no headlights may cause you trouble (depending on how well the day night cycle works i have no idea we've been disappointed before)
>>28522338the model of the car itself is asymmetric, the b (c?) pillar is a completely different shape on either side which is why there is a notch on one side and not the other.
you would have to redo the models for the cars entirely with slightly higher polycounts and mirrored r/l so the textures could be more accurately mapped.
I tried doing that when I converted the zizin car to txr, the stuff like the hood and sunroof are fixable the rear window and quarters are a fucking nightmare.
>>28522515The model is not symmetric but the notch is mostly caused by the way textures are interpolated across the face of a triangle.
>>28521888>Didn't play any NFS between UG2 and 2015Do any of them actually hold up still?
I need a proper racing game on switch 2.

What is the best and simplest way of playing Daytona USA on PC right now? Emulating the original arcade or some console port?
>forza general dead>gran turismo general deadall roads lead back to /ovg/
>>28522721i'd say emulating is easiest if you are on pc. there is a really good model 2 emulator out there. another option was the port to ps3 and 360 but i do not think its even available for purchase anymore because of the daytona license, plus you are gonna be limited with what wheels you can use with it
>>28522585ProStreet
Shift 1 or 2 with handling mods
Hot Pursuit 2010 if you are open minded about car combat
>>28522585>Do any of them actually hold up still?>MW2005redditor #1 choice but it's hailed as the GOAT for a reason, it's a solid game overall even if it does get a little stale before reaching the ending sequence
>Cabrรณn lackluster rushed sequel to MW that is beyond redeemed by the kino canyon segments. the "carbon battle royale" mod apparently fleshes it out a lot more but i haven't tried it.
>ProStreetthe sleeper hit of the blackbox era. goes back to circuits only but the variety of environments makes up for it. if you don't like the gameplay there's several mods that either replace the handling or fix difficulty/balance issues
>Undercoverhilariously bad abortion of a game, this is when blackbox was fully burnt out of the yearly release schedule. very rushed and phoned in (i.e. had to borrow the traffic cars from burnout paradise, no time to make their own). avoid entirely unless you're a masochist.
>Shiftarchaeologists are still trying to find why nfs execs thought this was a good idea. don't bother, just play shift2.
>HP2010great game if you remove the previous NFS games from your mind. it's just burnout with real cars, cop chases, and a nice soundtrack. no real reason to hate it unless you have some autistic vendetta against brake to drift mechanics
>Worldold MMO with strikingly autistic community who wrote their own servers and brought it back. there are a low-double-digit amount of people still around to play with you.
>Shift 2sim-lite game with actual immersion features never seen before or again. interesting car selection if you manage to get all the DLC with it. skip if you just want the arcade style games.
>The Runkino, ludo, soul, etc. i love this game a lot but if you hate linear experiences you might not enjoy it. definitely one of the most unique entries in the franchise.
>MW2012 weird identity crisis game that couldn't decide if it wanted to be burnout paradise or NFS
>Rivalscool game in its time but miserable to play now (30fps lock)
>>28522784>Undercover>no mention of VERY DANGEROUS
>>28522764Mame or Model 2 Emulator?
>>28522784>Undercover>hilariously bad abortion of a game, this is when blackbox was fully burnt out of the yearly release schedule. very rushed and phoned in (i.e. had to borrow the traffic cars from burnout paradise, no time to make their own). avoid entirely unless you're a masochist.The PS2 version of Undercover is decent,and not an ugly view from hell like the PS3 version
>>28523038From the ground up.
>>28522764>forza general deadThey ran to /vm/ so they only need 1 bump every 24 hours
>>28523003ps2 version of undercover is just carbon with mods, to the point people have backported its map into carbon with 0 changes and it works fine
>>28522784>>MW2012i used to be a mw2012 hater but honestly ive come to love it. the soundtrack is oddly melancholic at times which if you ask me is probably a remnant of the original MW2 story, i cant think of another nfs game with a soundtrack like that. but it also has shit like icona pop which makes it feel like a proper sequel to burnout paradise. the vibe in general is just unmatched and gives off peak early 2010s before everything went to shit vibes. ive always wanted to know what the original story wouldve been like/about, the genre as a whole is sorely missing good storytelling
>>28523443The only reason why people didn't like MW2012 is that they for some reason called it Most Wanted. It's a good game but because it's not a piss filter game modifying cars around a non-story it's not good. What's better than a non-story? No story and just a comfy road racing game. It's also got a banger soundtrack like you say and I quite like those race start animations they're neat
why do I have more fun playing GT7 with a controller than sitting in my proper sim rig?
>>28523487>they for some reason called it Most Wantedit was originally supposed to be a full story sequel to mw/carbon but ea cut the budget iirc and stopped that from happening. theres a leaked beta build out there that has an opening mission for the story mode which sets the tone which felt a lot darker than blackbox era nfs but its been a while since ive watched it
but yeah i really love the blacklist intros and those surreal police chase opening cutscenes. theyre burned into my head
>>28523494because gt is by far the nicest handling racing game on a controller, has been for decades
>>28523494because itโs an arcade game. itโs about as much fun with a wheel as Forza horizon
>>28523487never loved the map in MW2012,felt very bland
>>28523634itโs the truth
Finally, a normal kei car. Sad its not an Alto but I'll take it.
>>28523443>each car has a small handful of events tied to it>the main way (sole way outside of the most wanted list (or paying up)) of acquiring new cars is, in essence, looking for collectibles in an open world>the combined result of those factors makes the overarching progression of SP quite banal>pursuits being really fucking naff for what functionally serves as just another event category>cutting the airport indev just to end up selling it as DLC (on a map that is already quite small)>also, an observation: having DLC cars show up at their jackspots even if you don't have the DLC just to act as an advertisement is quite gay>also, a second observation: who the fuck signed off on allowing for car color options in MP but not SP? the mechanic is right fucking there, you can easily retrofit it for SP, hell, they used it for the... Heroes DLC cars... oh I get it now.>also, a third observation: I know this game is Burnout Paradise 2 (I mean, they reused parts of it wholesale) but the novelty of the crash cams wears off in about five minutes yet they are extremely commonplace.>also, a fourth observation: spikestrips don't affect opponent AI cars and spikestrip-deploying cop cars don't have any telegraphing sound cue or animation (with the latter fact in mind why would you ever not run re-inflating tires for pursuits to save yourself the headache?)I played MW2012 a lot back in the day but the more I think about it retrospectively the more I find myself soured on it.
I think the multiplayer was pretty cool and fun, at least.
The Z-Tune should have been in GT5 due to their Nissan relationship on the 2010s, it just making it in is odd.
>>28523700GT7 but i think it's the N-One
>>28523743Sometimes i think PD has a messy pile of scanned car files and they put it on updates based on which file they find
>>28522817Model 2. No need to use mame for Sega 3d arcade boards. There's also a model 3 emulator if you wanna play Sega Super GT/Scud Race and Daytona USA 2
What's with Italian cars and weirdly angled footwells? I flubbed a race purely because I was confused about the position of my VR legs.
>>28523573what do you mean by nicest? enthusia's handling is much more accurate
>>28524050controller friendly
>enthusiabro let it go
>>28524130why isn't enthusia controller friendly?
>>28524168are you trolling?Gt7 is more controller friendly comoared to enthusia.It's a 2022 game vs a 2006 game
The tire wear mechanic in forza fucking sucks, they should just delete it.
>>28524266Not him but from my own experience my starter car, a Nissan March I think, started becoming very uncontrollable after enough weight reduction has been applied to it to the point you need the precise steering of a wheel over a gamepad
>>28524374Forza fucking sucks and you should delete it.
>>28524450did you try using the thumbstick more precisely than you did before it was upgraded
>>28524558Port gran turismo to PC
>>28520693 (OP)holy shit what game is that? whatever the fuck that is i played it a ton as a kid
>>28524612We have iRacing retard

>>28524634Some kind of weird Dodge Stratus
>>28524650does iracing have this?
>>28524752so kino. why don't indie games recreate this aesthetic rather than rehashing the sega model 1 and psx look
>>28524725what, buggy suspension physics and a retarded tire model? absolutely
>>28524761it's easier to do flat polygons than nice low resolution textures, i think.
this era of games was really pushing the limits of the hardware even though it looks so "simple" today, i don't think there's any limitations in games right now that can squeeze the creative blood from the stone like it did back then
aside from no ffb and a kinda binary tire model it still holds up physically too.
>>28523906Thanks, I tried but this emulator was such a pain in the ass to set up that I just decided to switch to RPCS3 and its port of Daytona USA, it worked really well, no flaws that I could spot as a new player.
Does the rfactor 1 server browser only work on the steam version, or does it just not work at all? Is there an alternative or do I have to find leagues manually?
Are >we looking forward to the LMU 1.0 update?
Iโm personally hoping it makes all of the GT3โs driveable. With fixed setups, some cars like the Corvette and Aston are basket cases. The corvette spins mid-corner for seemingly no reason, and the Aston requires super gentle throttle exiting slow corners and has problems getting the tires hot.
>entire economy based around typing magic numbers in video games exists because developers are too lazy to make setups on leaderboards downloadable
>>28524945considering there's only 1 server live right now I dont think you'll be able to just hop on bud
Gotta find leagues manually

>>28523443I tried snapping the fucking ps3 blueray disc of that dogshit game in half only to find out I actually couldn't and it still works too.
>>28523487>good gameIT'S AN ARCADE RACER THAT LACKS AN ARCADE MODE what the fuck were they THINKING?! "Uh oh sorry buddy you can't do X race with Y car tee hee!" Ridiculous. And I'll tell you this it's more bland than any previous Burnout game even the first BO game with the weird cast of utility vehicles. (yes I know it's based on Thrill Drive fuck off nerd) It doesn't need all this customization I mean I had plenty of fun with HP2 and Gran Turismo 3 and those games had like basically nothing well apart from wheels in GT3 but you get what I mean man it's just boring to play. And I've heard the game was also going to be online only after they cut the story and that explains a lot actually expect so was Twisted Metal 2012 and that's still got an arcade death match mode what the hell man! I've NEVER been more disappointed in a game purchase ever I'm serious I've never bought another Need for Speed game after that I was that angry. (still am) I mean have you ever tried braking a disc after beating a game? I was pissed I'm fuming right now remembering it all I worked hard to get that game new when I was a young lad.
>I crashed my car into a wall I don't care I love it!!!I remember turning each song off one by one because of that one singular pop song in a fit of autistic rage. I mean I didn't understand the song, still don't honestly. Man.... You know Motorstorm came out in 2007 and that games a mil better too. I mean I'm just not happy the only thing I liked was the abandoned airplane graveyard and the weird modern art thingy you could ramp off of and that's it the rest is shit and I don't care how autistic I sound and I'll leave on this. I didn't even play the original Most Wanted until years later by downloading a pc copy and my opinion on that game is that eh yeh it's alright I guess, not bad.
>>28525280You're correct, you could also download ffb settings through the steam workshop and it would show ingame as a custom preset. In my opinion Dirt Rally 1 had superior ffb to 2.0, I don't know what exactly they changed, but it's just not as good
>>28524817gp2 should be put in a museum, dynamic suspension and aero simulation in 1996, ai that behave and pit realistically and the tracks are scarily accurate for a dos game made by 5 people, it even mogs the goofy ass tracks isi put out half a decade later
>>28525428>the tracks are scarily accurate for a dos game made by 5 peoplewilliams had some small involvement with the development of the game and villeneuve even used it to learn some tracks when he came over to europe
>>28525367It should be a crime to give us such useful, convenient, obvious tools and then remove them for no reason in the sequel. Also while we are at it: DR1.0 had more SOVL in its menus, music and UI, and some stages had better color grading.

Any racing games with trippy tracks? Weird themed tracks? Looking for something that goes silly mode.

I really want to like LMU but it just doesn't "feel" right. For me, it's iRacing.
Imagine renting a game that looks like from 2010
if i cared about grafix id just play GT7
I just want every game to look like rfactor
Where is that nerd that ported Wiplash to PC? He should port Driver 2 and unlock its framerate. Pretty please.
AssEvo will combine best of all worlds eventually.
Peak graphics and even peaker physics and content

I like TDUSC when I just want to switch off and drive.
Fills that gap The Crew 1 left behind.

Dont have anyone to share my excitement with, so i hope anons itt dont mind few posts while im trying to assemble it all
Also bought a 49โ ultrawide screen - havent tested it either.
I cant wait to get started! ( judging by my experience, it will be a very bumpy road and i will get enraged multiple times before everything is connected and i can finally start a game )
Btw, its a sim-lab r1x โultimateโ

>>28528282This.
I can't remember an online game which had tanked that hard their playerbase and somehow managed to rebuild it.
It would need both a miracle and the amount of money and effort nacon will never have
Also kek they and their paid media shills are talking about "most requested" features coming in year 2 and none of those is the offline mode which simply dominated the comment secion of all their posts.
>>28529071Anyone who thinks iracing feels good is retarded and you should ignore whatever they say.
>>28529009I bought a Phillips - it was about 10% cheaper here, and judging by reviews should be about the same level as a samsung. But yeah, an OLED G9 is supposed to be top tier - my original plan was to get a 57โ G9, but then i would have to buy a pricy โstandalone mountโ. Its just too much for my budget. Integrated screen-stand cant handle the weight of a 57โ.
>>28529058I was saving up and โcollectingโ other gear for a few years now. Even though a cockpit is supposed to be an essential part, i managed with mounting a wheel on a desk for a long time, without major issues.
I really hope it will be worth the hard-earned money!
The assembly is moving slowly forward. So far everything is fitting nicely, although its odd that they didnt include tools - have to use my own. No manual either - had to download one online, fromw their homepage.( maybe i overlooked it in one of the boxes )

>>28529071ACC is more enjoyable to drive, but iRacing is better for multiplayer. The GT3 tire model update makes those cars okayish to drive now, but driving at the limit is still very risky and feels a bit vague, even with third party FFB apps. It's one of the sims that lives by the "more punishing physics = more realistic" mantra, which I am not a fan of. ACC is very forgiving in comparison. Part of it might also be due to the fact that iRacing is just a glorified NR2003 mod.
I bought LMU again since its no longer in EA and I moved onto a DD wheel so maybe it'll feel slightly better. The tracks playing for the GT3 series recently in iRacing have not been my favorite, so I'm probably gonna take a short break from it till they run Daytona at the IMSA series in a few weeks.
>>28529354I just use a DD-X wheelstand from gt omega and its sturdy as fuck. I use a 45kg load cell on it and it doesn't budge, in addition to an 8nm DD wheel.

just finished my first race in LMU and won it with a 30 second gap, the fuckers here are slow as shit lmfao. worse than bottom split irenting drivers. i guess thats what happens when there's a lower barrier to entry
Any Automation people here? Is there something close to electronic throttle in Automation? I mean the whole point of electronic throttle is to bypass throttle response so I can put more counterweight for better smoothness and reliability, right?
>>28529893itโs made by /g/
>>28529738Yeah from initial driver rating and lower people are really fucking shit. Faster people also tend not to do the B0 daily races, so if you're not in the top 10% of splits you'll probably dominate.
>>28529738>I kicked sand in a child's eyes>I'm so toughBeating B0 drivers is not impressive.
>>28524761>>28524817>>28525428that's the x86 mod that basically rebuilds the game. the vanilla release does not look like that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0Z7MnSmCzE
>>28528517because the game was partially funded by the Chinese government, which required them adding Chinese content.
>>28529889looks interesting, next time if we change platforms I'll consider it. For now it's easier to just go with what we know as there's nothing wrong with mattermost or mumble. Other than they're both old.
Good arcade-y racers with LARP mechanics (qualifying, pitting, yellow flags etc.)? The closest thing I can think of is TOCA 3 and maybe Whiplash but neither fully live up to it (especially TOCA, pitting seems mostly unnecessary).
NR2003 would the best example of this, but its arcade mode feels like an afterthought (as it probably should) and it's oval racing.
>>28530293new star gp maybe
>>28530295why the 3 over 4?
>>285303074 is piss easy and you probably only need to pit maybe once or twice in the entire career
I've got a bad feeling about the upcoming race
had a dream tonight of driving some kind of mustang against a 935 and almost crashing, then race being canceled and everyone being teleported to pits
or was it just a 1lap warmup
>>28530308what's the consensus on assists in 3?
>>28530326ASM off always. Never a reason to have it on as it slows you down if it detects the slightest bit of slip angle
TCS depends on the cars power output, tire compound, your own driving style etc etc
>>28530324Don't worry. I'll make the actual race much worse.
haven't checked up on beamng in years. is it still just a halfbaked tech demo or have they finally managed to turn it into an actual game?
>>28530442Maps do have shit to do via various challenges and there is fun content here and there, though it's still very sandboxy.
The major turnoff for me is beammp. Sure, it ain't official bu still. It doesn't take advantage of all this content at the moment, so it kinda sucks. Setting up races is impossible by default (there are plugins but a lot of them were abandoned), so unless you have a pack of dedicated autists, you'll probably have to settle for freeroaming.
>>28530167the vanilla game looks exactly like that minus the cockpit visual upgrades
i am also using a '93 season mod.
>>28529894oh wow it's REALLY gay then and like all the board reader apps will suddenly go EOL without warning and never get updated again after some api changes brick it

Just a heads up for the le mans event I am not doing your dirty work for you, if you want a physics patch for your car you pack it yourself so it works straight out of the zip file otherwise you're not getting that shit. Don't be a lazy nigger. Provide a mod that works as is or make it work as is.

If you want a WEC sim it's pretty much the thing
>>28531383track selection isn't great but it has most of what you would want to drive on. I hate driving GT3s on VIR, it feels like a club circuit meant for slower cars like the miata. A lot of American tracks I don't like desu outside of Daytona and Laguna Seca. And iRacing is an American company that focuses on IMSA for its GT3s so we have a lot of those

Anons, does anyone how to test usb-cable latency?.. or what board do i need to post such question on?
I have to use 2 x 5m usb cables for my powered usb 3.0 hub - im worried about latency as it came with like a 0.75 m cable in the box, and i dont want any input lag
>>28532246latencymon, put a high polling rate device like a mouse on it and see what changes. Unless you're using some really old shitty usb cables there shouldn't really be any issues unless you have a USB hub with a bunch of high poll rate devices.
>>28531974i think it depends on the car. the AMG feels like a boat in LMU but feels decent in iRacing. the BMW on the other hand feels way better in LMU.

>>28532850you can absolutely get racing for under $1k if you go to a local banger track, you can absolutely buy a kart or an atv under that price, and there are plenty of shitboxes in most countries under $1k that are actually fun to drive
>>28532837Yeah but I want to drive the kino cars.
>>28532856>you can absolutely get racing for under $1k if you go to a local banger track,no you absolutely can't
the cost of a single race including transport lodging and materiel in even the smallest leagues is 10 grand. a weekend of autocross is close to that too. a kart will cost about a grand PER EVENT.
no real life racing offers what simracing can, sorry, no amount of larping and pretending there are free shitboxes anymore
>and there are plenty of shitboxes in most countries under $1k that are actually fun to driveif you actually look at used listings the cars in running condition for that kind of money are not fun, the cars that are fun don't run, and the cars that run and are fun are NOT cheap anymore thanks to ccf, bat and other jalopnik type car collector community shitholes driving the prices up on anything that can hold over a g
>>28532553apparently FM2023 has Road America but that game is shit
>>28532891>>28532856Actual amateur shitter here, I'm firmly in the camp of "if you are thinking of spending five figures on a sim rig maybe buy a real racecar instead". That said, my racing budget is typically around $10k/year for 5-6 weekends and I try to do things as close to free as possible doing all the work on my car myself, sleeping in the trailer, and using tires well past their "fast" lifespan. Karting was cheaper but only when I was racing the 4-stroke briggs engine karts. The cool 100mph+ shifter karts cost about the same as racing a car.
I would budget at least $5k in startup costs and $5k/year to make a decent go at racing 4-stroke karts in your local club league. It's lots of fun, highly recommended. Sim racing does not give me anything close to the same feels as actually going racing in riol loif.
>>28532974>"if you are thinking of spending five figures on a sim rigok but let me stop you right there:
a basic gaming pc and an ffb steering wheel does not and never has cost anywhere NEAR 5 grand. even when fun cars were 1500 bucks a pc that could play rfactor or nr2003 was $500.
like, you retards realize it's just "an computer" with a slightly fancy controller and not some weird console thing that only plays iracing right?
right? you don't need an extruded aluminum pedal box or any of that motion rig horseshit just get out there and do it. like you are suggesting, racing is racing. buying a 5k aluminum autims hugbox is the same thing as a dentist blowing 300 grand on an audi gt3 car he might only drive twice.
in karts you're spending a retarded amount of money to do the EXACT same thing you can do for like $500 career total on iracing or lmu using the shitbox pc you already own, driving cars you actually want to drive and not some fucking kid's toy. the math doesn't math bro. simracing >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> *
literally unironically right fucking now i double no triple dog dare you yo name me a single place in the world where for a measly $5000 I can drive Speed Racer's Mach 5 at 190 mph down the Circuit de la Sarthe circa 1965 while listening to super eurobeat and cracking open an ice cold Monster Zero Ultra.
