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

[QUOTE=Zombii;51599811]A real 'career' racing game would be pretty interesting. You start off/get a certain amount of money every season at the beginning and have to compete in entry level series (Karts, Formula Ford, etc.), get results, compete for sponsors, move up only when you're able, etc. If done correctly it could be really interesting, especially if they modeled the car's reliability and parts, it could be almost like a roguelike/xcom, but for racing.[/QUOTE] This is what would make me seriously get into racing games. If it was designed so you could have your own team or race for some one else, and have to really manage your funds, it would be perfect.

so after few days i downloaded both Horizon 2 and 3. Only difference i noticed on the Xbone version of Horizon 3 is that groove music blends in with the horizon festival, while on pc it doesn't. And i also noticed that xbox one version is inferior to PC on ultra, it can trick the eye though. Ignore the video compression on xbox one Xbox [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/nfEN4UB.png[/IMG] PC [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/omIVTyA.png[/IMG]

I think project cars does the career ok shame the game is shit, iracing also has a good profession system as you go from a track day car to a school car series or srf which are super cheap you can form or join teams even do driver swap races. The level of competition is usually pretty good as well

do we have a forza horizon 2 club?

anybody know what Automobilista is like? it has some interesting dlc like formula truck

fucking microsoft, so after reformatting cus I bought an SSD, I can't install horizon 3 because it doesnt work on my device, even though I could run it on ultra at 70fps. like u wot m8, same hardware except I added a samsung 850 evo. checked windows updates and all, i'm on the latest version. [editline]30th December 2016[/editline] nevermind I found it, the store is fucking retarded.

bought FM6, with that i end my Xbone collection for now

man i miss midnight club la too bad there's no legit way to unlock the audi r8

are there any modernish games that have a driveable lambo countach?

Forza 6 has an LP5000 Countach iirc

And Horizon 3 as you'd expect.

[editline]31st December 2016[/editline] Also, BMW i8 confirmed for Horizon 3 in January. Finally, a BMW that isn't just a facelifted clone of almost every other BMW lmao. Clues for the other cars: [quote]Happy New Years Eve, Eve Forza Fans Here are your clues for the January DLC slated to come out Tuesday January 3rd. I know you already know one of the cars. But can you associate that car with the right clue? Clue 1 Car 1 Race bred for your safety! Clue 1 Car 2 This ain't your mama's Explorer but it does have an Ecoboost motor. Clue 1 Car 3 Public safety be damned, they should have built it. Clue 1 Car 4 I ate too much over the holidays. Did you? Clue 1 Car 5 SpiralCell Technology makes Optima batteries some of the best you can buy. Clue 1 Car 6 Paid for and fueled by caffeine. Clue 1 Car 7 Should you reach this peak, the ride will be well worth the price.[/quote] [editline]31st December 2016[/editline] For car 3, as part of my obligatory 'game needs more Australian cars' whinging, I'd suggest that it's something relating to the Australian 'supercar scare' of the early 70's ([url]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercar_scare[/url]) tl;dr manufacturers had to sell high performance cars to the public for homologation in the Australian Touring Car Championship, and a journalist made a big deal out of that, forcing the hand of the governing body of motorsports in Australia. The cars specifically were: - a high-spec Chrysler Valiant Charger - XA series Ford Falcon GTHO Phase IV - LJ series Holden Torana GTR XU-1 with a V8 instead of an I6

How big is the forza horizon 3 map compared to other open world game maps?

[QUOTE=lintz;51603471]are there any modernish games that have a driveable lambo countach?[/QUOTE] Assetto Corsa has one too, although it's DLC if I'm not mistaken, there are a few modded ones as well though.

I had no idea that surfer's paradise, yarra valley and byron bay were all actual locations in australia. I thought they were all made up!

I've been wanting to replay NFS Underground 1 again but I can't get it to work on Windows 10. After hours of troubleshooting I can't get further than a black screen at the startup screen. Has anybody gotten it to work under Windows 10?

[QUOTE=lintz;51603471]are there any modernish games that have a driveable lambo countach?[/QUOTE] theres gran turismo 6hahahahahahahahahaah...

"Clue 1 Car 2 This ain't your mama's Explorer but it does have an Ecoboost motor." That's quite a narrow one considering the engine helps us filter out a lot of wrong ones. I'm guessing from "ain't your mama's Explorer" that it isn't an Ecoboost Mustang/Fiesta/Whatever but an SUV? If that's the case it could be a Range Rover Evoque or Discovery, Ford Kuga, etc. EDIT: It could be the thing they had on Grand Tour recently since it's popular-ish now: [t]https://www.motoringresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/03_TGT.jpg[/t]

i got nfs porsche unleashed running pretty much flawlessly on windows 10. if anyone is wondering, turns out all i needed to do was install nglide and use their patch for the game. the menu resolution and in-game hud scaling are weird but it plays great [QUOTE=Zombiespeed;51605161]I've been wanting to replay NFS Underground 1 again but I can't get it to work on Windows 10.

i made a mistake, i entered a race with a car, with no headlights, along with fast LMP's. Vid from the action [url]https://account.xbox.com/en-US/gameclip/2baa1b08-db68-41a5-9453-5bf5eeb1ec54?gamertag=EddieLTU&scid=417d0100-b230-41cf-975d-3eaa64f9397e[/url]

Havent gotten around to trying an XP virtual machine but that's what others have told me to try to get it to work.

[QUOTE=jazxsora;51606269]I'm in the same boat ever since I found a copy at goodwill. Havent gotten around to trying an XP virtual machine but that's what others have told me to try to get it to work.[/QUOTE] I just tried it in VirtualBox with the experimental Direct3D support. The framerate was good but it hanged every now and then, so not ideal. Best option is probably to dual-boot or something.

is it worth buying the japanese and triple pack for assetto corsa? from the jap pack i really just want the mx-5 but there are some other interesting cars in there

[QUOTE=waylander;51608687]is it worth buying the japanese and triple pack for assetto corsa? from the jap pack i really just want the mx-5 but there are some other interesting cars in there[/QUOTE] More chances to have a trackday with us in the future

[QUOTE=suXin;51608734]More chances to have a trackday with us in the future[/QUOTE] pffffffffffff as if that's ever gonna happen.

[QUOTE=Psygo;51589229]we used to run weekly AC racing, but it hasnt happened much this year, could probably start doing it again though.[/QUOTE] Would be up for hosting again if people were interested. 919 hybrid Pikes Peak race soon™(?) [QUOTE=RobyYe;51592750]I got F1 2016, great game but I'm so terrible at it and I have no wheel. I do enjoy everything in it though, and the Renault is truly a beauty[/QUOTE] The Renault is great. I play with an alien who insists it's trash but, the thing is so comfy and yellow I'll take it anyway. [QUOTE=waylander;51608687]is it worth buying the japanese and triple pack for assetto corsa? from the jap pack i really just want the mx-5 but there are some other interesting cars in there[/QUOTE] RX-7 is the tits and the MX-5 cup is pretty popular online. It's a solid pack imo.

does it matter what resolution you set in AC when using the rift? i hope when it gets full vr support they fix the mirrors, it might seem like a small thing but the 2d mirrors look like trash and kill immersion
