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

Driving common civilian cars from the Road D class in Project CARS is pretty comfy I wonder if there's driving sims out there where you drive boring sporty-ish cars

i should've driven the Evo V in Maximum Tune years ago, i found out it was quite good shame that Lancer Evos in this game are far more superior than Imprezas

Anyone play driveclub at all? Wondering if there's an fp club?

Are there any other cars in horizon 3 with air brakes like the huayra has?

[QUOTE=Cabbalistic;51491587]Anyone play driveclub at all? Wondering if there's an fp club?[/QUOTE] Yes, but I don't think there's a club. If you want to start a club just PM me your PSN ID. It's about time that I unlocked those club-only cars haha.

I know that each of them had those fancy active aerodynamics in DriveClub.

[QUOTE=Cabbalistic;51491587]Anyone play driveclub at all? Wondering if there's an fp club?[/QUOTE] There's no actual FP club but about 5 of us are in a club. Only issue is that I don't think any of us play anymore.

Is it just me or is there really no replay value in FH3? I've finished all of the showcases, and I've upgraded all of my festivals to level 5. But I just feel like there's nothing else left to do? I was so excited for when the Morgan 3 Wheeler was released, but then I drove it once and realised that there was really nothing to do with it.

I got a feeling everyone who was playing apex is now playing FH3 [img]http://i.imgur.com/I07II9V.png[/img]

i really dislike the way FH3 handles owning/receiving cars all the cars just sorta feel the same after a while, i don't have any real attachments to any car since i'm just overburdened with them through the free car system and the wheelspins + barn finds, the only real exception to the rule is if i went and splurged on a ferrari 250 testa rossa or something (the really old one, 10m credits jesus)

Because of the PR system, any 2 cars at the max rating for a particular class are pretty much the same. Especially if you get to tuning things like the gearing and suspension. And yeah the constant free cars is annoying. They are far too common, but at least it's not as bad as Forza 4 begging you to accept free cars. Games like DriveClub are good, you can't tune the cars at all, but at least they have their own personalities. It's a trade-off, you either get personality or customisation. You can't have both. Are there any DriveClub clubs here that I can join by the way?

It might be a tad less noticeable with the Horizon games being less sim-oriented, but cars absolutely do feel different even at identical PI.

Welp, time to spend way more money than I should at Timezone again!

Got my new mobo, i7-6700k and 16gb of DDR4 RAM installed, Forza is now running beautifully. Still spits out VRAM warnings after a while but it's no longer crashing every 30 minutes. Just gotta save up some and pick up a GTX 1080 or something to replace my 760. The new setup has also miraculously fixed my networking issues, so I can properly play online.

anyone here used to play test drive unlimited? i've been going through it again for nostalgia's sake and to make myself sad that there very likely won't be a tdu3 about to do this shit [t]http://i.imgur.com/8L2lt1t.png[/t]

UK brehs looking for a new wheel, PC World got G29 & G920 + shifter bundles for £130. Today only [url]http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/search-keywords/xx_xx_32010_xx_xx/10139463%257c10139462/1_20/relevance-desc/xx-criteria.html?intcmp=home~deal-of-the-day~offers~hd-1~half~peak~sr~-~071216[/url] I've got a G920 and I'm happy with it, word of warning the G920 brake pedal has a rubber stopper which works well but it's hard to fully depress without a stand. I'm not sure if the G29 has the same. In other news I think I've finally got the hang of heel and toe, I initially thought I wouldn't through over thinking but I got sick of waiting to stop braking before shifting and now I'm doing it without thinking about it. I wish my real car had pedals close to eachother

The physics were trash, but the scale of the island and the whole car collecting + garage thing was awesome. I also loved that you could do dumb things like roll down your windows, and the car interiors were great.

SOO... I got a brand new computer, and I need a racing game to take my breath away with adrenaline-pumping speed. Ideas?

[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;51510170]SOO... I got a brand new computer, and I need a racing game to take my breath away with adrenaline-pumping speed.

There are a ton of full-on sim racers, arcade racers, indie racers, free, etc. But those mainly depend on your own taste. The Forzas are something I'd recommend to anyone.

I so wish we could make bucketlists with checkpoints rather than one definted point. Also is it a way to create a completely custom race where you decide the route?

[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;51510248]But those are only available on windows store right?[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, yeah.
