GTA with a few mods might not be a pure simracer, but it can at least be simcade, it's fun:

man, i am absolute shite on okayama on iracing for some reason, but it is such a good track for racing. lots of good overtaking opportunities and places to lose/make up time

is there anything to talk about 190E?[/QUOTE]

Long story short, more customization, better cops and offline!
Hmmm... It says nothing about the handling though. Really wish they will change this to something that works, otherwise I'm still not going to be buying it.
Sure hope the physics aren't dumb as shit like in the last one

The drifting physics were terrible. I actually found it more enjoyable to drift using simulation steering in Forza 6, than to drift in NFS.

The driving physics in general were garbage, felt like you're on rails and all you're doing is giving suggestions to where the car should be on the road.
lol the current nfs is basically burnout + nfs
just give us burnout
The Hot Wheels expansion for FH3 is absolutely insane. More expansions for games need to push the boundaries like this

we need a real hot wheels racing game like the days of world race
However the AI have extreme rubber banding. They brake so much before corners and seem to let off the throttle when they are in front of you, but then they will fly past you on the straights.
i got this screenshot of the new hot wheels dlc

seems nobody noticed this, but Trackmania got an update and announced Lagoon for May 23

Yeah it feels like they turned up the AI's cheats to 11 in the expansion. It's a bit frustrating right now. Especially since it is forced all class, and some classes just are not balanced around eachother.
they finally optimized the game, im getting stable 60 even in surfers paradise
but the crashes feel like they were back on launch, can't play the game for 10 minutes
Absolutely loving the Hot Wheels expansion for Horizon3, just wish there were more Hot Wheels cars!

The Team VVV guys were at a pCARS2 press event and were able to get some footage of the game. Personally I'm very excited for this: I've started watching IndyCar this year since I was looking for some good open wheel racing, and this rendition of Long Beach looks very impressive. Still wouldn't fancy driving with a controller, though.
theres loads of open wheel classes in iracing
Is it just me or do the hot wheels track have absolutely no grip what so ever?
AI cars drive like they do on asphalt, but every car i drive feels extremely slidey and takes forever to brake.

Just you. Some of my cars are slidy but those are my speed>handling cars. Cars which have better-balanced performance aren't a problem for me.
What's a problem for me is the moronic AI. I keep on either crashing into them at high speed because they brake way too early, or somehow they have a power boost when they are behind me, and slingshot right past me. The AI feels very poorly done even compared to the base FH3.

I agree, and it's annoying. I feel like they had to make them more cheaty to account for the wonky physics on all the non-flat, horizontal surfaces.

skip barber, fr2.0, pro mazda, indycar, lotus 49 and 79, sprintcar, and even f1. iracing is, imo, the best realistic racing game out there right now. the physics are excellent, the racing is good, sr system is fucking on point, and they have different types of official series for everyone.

It's strange since it happens on quite a few cars for me.
But i also notice that races involving those long circles that keep expanding outwards can be flat out impossible due to how the ai treats them

i can't even tell whether this is a drift car, touge runner or highway runner, or little bit of all of them
whatever it is, AE86 feels amazing in this game

You're driving a damn muscle car that looks like it's been upgraded for speed. You can't just upgrade the engine and call it a day. Scale back the engine upgrades, stiffen the suspension and install stickier tyres. Better yet, try it in a car designed with handling in mind, eg Mercedes-AMG GT R, Ferrari FXX K etc.
There are a few things wrong with the expansion, but falling off of the track shouldn't be one of them. The only problem car for me so far is my Falcon GTHO, but that's a damn muscle car as well. Even then, it has sport tyres so it's not even that bad.

You need to change the way you drive as well. You entered that blue helix thing way too fast.
