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

still waiting for the demo i thought when they said its coming after release they meant right after it

I'm having refund withdrawals. I want to play this but I don't want to buy a product that doesn't work properly.

[QUOTE=Rastadogg;51122442]I should also add, I'm not looking for miracles, and I'll be running the game at 900X1440.[/QUOTE] You might get away with it, at 30fps lock. The game currently is more CPU bound than GPU because of the wacky load management. [editline]28th September 2016[/editline] You'll basically be playing it with the console experience but it should work, there's visually little difference between high and low settings as well other than some minor texture resolution changes (license plates mostly) and bushes going 2d much faster.

I take what I can get atm. Athough I'm def working on my PC soon after I do some extensive car things.

I just did the Goliath circuit in stock Reliants. It was quite the adventure. It took about 25 minutes, and for the first half it was really close and interesting racing, the lead kept changing between about 6 cars always barely inching past eachother. Which makes a change from normally having one drivater faster than the others. It was all going well until about the 13 minute mark where there was a pileup on a tight corner, I went around the pile and ended up going head first into a tree. I suffered pretty heavy damage to the gear box, so was pretty much out of the race as gradually the trailing cars all passed me. I'd come this far so I thought I'd carry in. Knowing and accepting I was out of the race made the last half of the drive fairly relaxing. I was pleasantly surprised by the pay out at the end, I didnt get much less cr than a win would and I actually received more XP than I had before, I think this was because for the first half of the race I was in a near constant state of drafting someone. This was the big crash, I was in the yellow one at the back [t]http://i.imgur.com/1441LZ8.jpg[/t]

So i did my first major vinyl work: Quattro's Gecko [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/uJrl6aa.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/g7XpjIh.jpg[/IMG]

I love how the servo in Coober Pedy is as close as they could get to a caltex servo without blatantly ripping it off [t]http://i.imgur.com/mIqN8J4.jpg[/t]

Couldn't help myself and bought FH3. Is it just me or does it not recognize a Logitech G27? Whenever I select the G27 layout is says the wheel profile is incompatible with the connected wheel.

It also can't detect multiple device setups eg. wheel + separate pedals unless they are tied into a single connection which the system then sees as a single device.

Can you rebind controls for wheels? My G25 accelerator pedal is broken so I removed that one, and moved the other two over and swapped the springs. So in game by default it would read as brake and clutch.

is it better to purchase a car at the start rather than using the free one? im finding the wheel controls really hard to get used to

Am I crazy or stupid for not being able to find the game's exe to add a shortcut to the desktop? Or does the way the windows store work not allow that?

Going off some youtube videos, if you have an i7 then you should be fine. It's with i5s that people are having problems, which sucks because that's the mainstream for gaming.

[QUOTE=waylander;51123488]is it better to purchase a car at the start rather than using the free one? im finding the wheel controls really hard to get used to[/QUOTE] If you're starting out using a steering wheel it probably is worth buying a less powerful car until you feel confident with the wheel. The starting cars are all pretty powerful and if you chose the Ute the massive torque probably doesn't help (I went with this M4). The game doesn't punish you for this, and lets you race any car you want and scales the competition so you're never racing anything far better.

cool my gamertag's gone cause I no longer own the domain - even though i know the password - and it seems recovering the account requires a 3+ year old credit card I used edit: callin them now fuck this AHHHHHHHHHHHHH i aint buyin FH3 if i can't use my gamertag :( edit2: fuckin tell him I can log in and not verify my email and he tries to get me to reset password, I hate explaining my self 10 times. I told him I don't play on console and he asks me DO U HAVE ACCESS TO THE PROFILE ON CONSOLE? at least twice oh well

almost immediately after I enter the second lap of goliath my cars power drops slowly, like it was running out of gas, am I suppose to pit somewhere?

I love how regardless of my video settings, on minimum or ultra, I get a relatively steady 50-57fps. I had it randomly hold 60fps+ for like an hour before it went back down. I wouldn't mind it so much if it wasn't for the fact that anything between 31 to 59fps results in random stuttering, so I have to cap it at 30. :(

Using Anna, Suggest me something to do. YOU HAVE A BUCKET CHALLENGE YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED THATS 6.5KM AWAY HERE YOU GO. [B]EVERY FUCKING TIME[/B] Also my AI has resulted to blatantly cheating in races now to win, they skip checkpoints and somehow accelerate at stupid speeds in vehicles at ratings they shouldn't be able to. It's really starting to annoy me.

Is it just me or is the Groove music station broken to all hell?

Doesn't work in multiplayer for me, but I'm on the trial

bee poster here with a potw [t]http://i.imgur.com/AlOFj3w.jpg[/t] did you know that when drones mate, they die afterwards from a ruptured abdomen? Sex detaches their endophallus, which gets stuck inside the queen.

[QUOTE=smileykiller447;51125714]Is it just me or is the Groove music station broken to all hell?[/QUOTE] in what aspect, it doesn't detect songs at all or it skips them?

well woke up this morning turn my pc on to try fh3 and I still don't know how the game runs, it just crashes on the playground games logo lol

[QUOTE=SoUl_ReApEr2;51126013]well woke up this morning turn my pc on to try fh3 and I still don't know how the game runs, it just crashes on the playground games logo lol[/QUOTE] I think to fix this crash you need to disable any unused audio playback/recording devices.
