SimRacing General: successor to Forza/Gran Turismo/Racing thread - Games

Oh fuck yes. I really need horizon now.

OH SHIT FC! When was the last time we saw the FC in Forza?

FM4 I think

So the cable on my G27's pedals just died, just before the rfactor Baja 500 Life is pain

It would be nice if someone made a London to Sydney marathon skin for the Falcon, it would work well with my Rally Build.

How's the performance of FH3 on PC now?

better for me, runs better and less crashes far from perfect though

Its certainly smoother but the FPS will always be whacky as it handles memory completely wrong. At least when selecting parts its not a softlock fest anymore.

IDK why, but this livery i uploaded has over 200 downloads. [IMG]http://www.forzamotorsport.net/Handlers/GetPhoto.ashx?game=fh3&id=8768492&full=true[/IMG]

playing fh3 makes me realize how much i want a proper forza motorsport game on PC personally, i somewhat prefer the track racing to the more open world stuff horizon offers

[QUOTE=ProfHappycat7;51297843]playing fh3 makes me realize how much i want a proper forza motorsport game on PC personally, i somewhat prefer the track racing to the more open world stuff horizon offers[/QUOTE] same. i've been playing GT6 a lot recently and it's making me really really wish we had a game on pc with the same easy career system/outside support (sony/polyphony's support for GT6 is crazy), especially since while games like AC, iRacing, LFS are great sim games, the user experience and VR support are really lacking. There really needs to be a proper AAA racing sim on PC. If something like GT or Forza came to PC with VR support and adjustable difficulty/sim aspects, it would completely demolish all other offerings. Especially if it had okay mod support. [editline]2nd November 2016[/editline] I could see them bringing GT7 to PC, since apparently porting from next gen consoles to PC is pretty easy compared to previous ones, and F7 will obviously be on PC whenever that comes out.

Microsoft doesn't have that problem since it either drives sales of their console or their operating system. When you look at the top selling PS3 games, 3 of the top 10 including #1 are Gran Turismo games. Almost all the others with exception of The Last of Us and LittleBigPlanet are multiplatform.

I caved in and bought the new car pack because fuck me if I'm gonna miss out on an FC, a classic GTR and the good S14 (Kouki)

I'm waiting on the next car pack, if that one is good I might as well pick up the pass

Assetto Corsa is amazing in VR. If FH3 had VR I'd probably just live inside the game, to be honest. Though the performance is already what it is even without VR... [editline]3rd November 2016[/editline] I really want Rfactor 2 but I'm not getting it till it gets VR, they were being lazy about it but it seems it's coming in Q1.

[QUOTE=ProfHappycat7;51304825]essentially UI design afaik when it's used when referring to a part of a game[/QUOTE] Oh yeah. The fact that there's just no menu VR support in AC and you have to take the headset off every time you're not in a car is really shitty.
