Great video they did: "Made form reality"

First of all, look above

My reference to Goebbels/Nazi propaganda wasn't aimed at your personal integrity/posting/whatever, but at the way products/ideas are introduced and shown off in public. Take your research here, you'll find it's intriguingly similar

And that said I personally find that GT vid a shame. But here we go....have a nice evening.

 

First you quote my initial text in full length - and then you say your reply to it is not directed at it?

Implausible.

 

?
My post was obviously aimed at the GT advertisement video you posted in that post.

Being evasive here?

 

@Skybird
His statement shouldn't be worth a reply.

And after runnin the Nordschleife successfully with 60 cars and 4GB ram I think every game or sim that doesn't support grids with 60 cars or more and multiclass should remove the Nordschleife.
Its pretty pretentious to include it, when you can't race it properly.

 

I am no telepath, smarty, I neither can nor wish to read your mind. To express your opinion properly and make sure it finds the correct address, is your responsibility, not that of the others. Next time quote only what you wish to reply to - the video, in this case. If you quote my full text instead, you obviously address your reply to it, and that means in this case: to me.

And even if you meant the video from beginning on - what I still do not buy - it still would be very bad style to bash down on it with the Nazi club.

 

I sometimes do it with 48 or 60 cars in RR. In theory 99 is possible, but my system bogs down with that number.

 

The sad thing is that for some people that's true

 

On what game/sim?

 

In Raceroom you can run up to 99 cars on the Nordschleife and Spa, while other tracks have much more than 24 slots, too. While with 99 cars at least with AI cars you probably need a better CPU than me.

As far as I know you can do that in RF2 too, at least in theory.Thats why I consider to give it a try, but the presentation is as or even poorer than AC's which makes offlineracing pretty dull.
But you have giant grids and all the necessary features.
I just don't know how good the GT3's mods are.



Maybe AMS too, afterall its old and based on the ISI engine.

Yeah and its the same in every other board/about every other sim. While its not as worse as with more popular games/boads, it makes it pretty annoying to talk about other games and weaknesses of peoples favourite games.
For offline racing I enjoy R3E the most and I have no reason to be upset if someone critisizes R3E or even says it would be crap. Who cares?!

 

I've seen some people say that other sims run simplified physics for the AI so that you can run larger grids. Is that true or they just allow for larger grids because their physics are simpler overall?
If there is such thing, I'd like to see it as an option on AC so I wouldn't bee limited to 10 car grids on my low-end pc.

 

I assume so, while I see no disadvantages if you can't see a difference.

I can run 24 cars but would like to see bigger grinds in AC, but its probably a giant amount of work to develop another physicsmode l for the AI even if its far simpler and for whatever reason they decided to follow this route and with all the frequently requested features missing in AC, I assume its highly unlikely that it will change.
But maybe it isn't your CPU but the avaible memory of your RAM or GPU?

If you don't want to upgrade your PC you maybe can buy a more ressourcefriendly sim. I wasn't so happy with the physics/FFB of R3E first, but after some settings changes I got used to it and its fun. Best physics don't help if the experiences is lacking in several important areas imo.

 

That is true, to my best knowledge, but I know that also only by having read it, though repeatedly over time. And honestly said, during the race I see no differences between how the AI car drives in Ac and how it drives in RR, I mean regarding physics and what the AI makes of them. I think since long time that AC probably throws away too much CPU resources there for too little gains, I too would prefer to see these resources redirected to bigger car fields on long tracks like the Nordschleife, or the LeMans mod track.

In replay however you sometimes get the impression and see something that tells you that this car was not driven by a human, but the AI, but I often tend to associate that with something in the physics, but I cannot tell with certainty. But again: during racing, I could not care less for these most subtle differences. I simply have no time left to become aware of them. An advantage over the player the AI in RR does not get gain by using simplified physics. And that is what counts.

The AI itself however is good in both sims, but quite different from each other. The event is more "confused" - in a positive way in RR, than in AC, there is more stuff happening.

What it means by the end of the day? Simplified AI-physics are an issue not worth to worry about. Its not as if this were NFS4 or something like that.

 

Can a car racing game that doesn't simulate air pressure in the tires even be a sim?

 

I do have AMS and rF2, but I just don't feel like playing them. The UI seems too complicated, I can't even set the driver eyes position properly on them, so I never played them properly.
AC is way more simple, and apart from not being able to race against the AI everything works, so I just play online, which apart from the occasional a-hole is pretty good, or practice by myself.

Oh, let's start the sim vs simcade discussion again. I'm sure this time we'll come to a conclusive answer once and for all.

 

Loving it...
So much grief going on worldwide, and that much petty fight about nothing.
Thumbs up.
