Seriously good physics

Just raced a lotus 29 around and wow, what fun. One if the special events.

The car bounces around, my steering wheel feels fantastic.

Great physics. Now if that frame rate could just be upped slightly.......

But really just wanted to say I'm liking it more and more.
It's a good game

 

Yup. Many people on YouTube miss the point, because all they see/comment is graphics, car/track selection... You need "hands-on" (literally) on AC to know why it is so highly acclaimed on PC.

Hope they optimize it, getting smooth 60 fps is pretty important in racing games.

 

Agree very much,,i say let the devs do there thing and for those people who are disrespectful to them i say ban them from here, we and most certainly the devs Don't need negativism like that when its still early days. Boy i hope kunos shove a smelly sock into the mouths of those people and proove them all wrong

 

Same, the more I drive the better it gets

 

Here are some good combos for you guys to enjoy while you wait on MP updates:
F40 at the Ring
Lotus 79 at Brands Hatch
Mclaren F1 GTR at anywhere
almost anything at the Ring.

Have fun!

 

yeah loving AC .. the feeling on the wheel as the car is about to loose traction is great along with the general road surface feedback .
2 night of playing and it convinced me to pick up the season pass
still messing with the force feedback settings for the TX wheel , cheating a bit as I have auto blip switched on as I'm not that great at heal and toe.

The down side is that I'm going to get banned from driving as it blurs the lines between reality too much and the vtec was screaming in my Integra Type R on the way to work this morning.

 

i tried this with all assists off, holy mother the f40 is a handful when the boost kicks in!!

 

If you want to level up from that, then there's the F40 S3. Just make sure to switch tyres to semislicks.

 

F40 is one of the hardest but very rewarding once you get the hang of it. But Lotus 98t is for me probably most challenging car in the game, especially with 100% turbos and using H-shifter. The turbo lag is just crazy

Another challenge is the SF15-T Formula 1, in the Red Pack. For different reasons, not so much how it drives, but ERS management. Wondering how they map all those controls on gamepads, on PC it takes 7 buttons from my wheel.. even without DRS and brake bias, which are 3 more. But I guess they have solution since Red Pack is promised to come for consoles too. And Maserati 250F from the same pack too.. I think Fangio and those guys had a deathwish, driving these motorized bathtubs around Sopraelevata. Driving straight is sort of a challenge already, while incredible amount of fun in the same time. Just finding that right amount of oversteer and sliding around corners

 

Agreed the f40 is pretty nice once you get used to it, the sounds the feel are perfect.
We need keyboard/buttonbox support asap on ps4..

 

By far the best version of the Ring I have driven.

 

Well it's laser scanned This pic is actually the physical mesh of Imola, but shows nicely how track surface is not flat, while it looks like pretty flat to the eye.


(Physical mesh is different from what you see, this is the one that affects your FFB and car physics, the visual mesh is "on top" of it)

In the parts where the track actually is flat, there is less data but where it counts, it's really detailed. Games that don't have laserscanned tracks, may get some key characteristics wrong, while it looks visually right. Also problem with some mod tracks, while they may look great, they are either totally flat making the FFB numb, or weird bumps that don't appear to be in IRL onboards videos.

 

I have been away over the weekend after receiving my copy of AC on Friday so its been a long weekend waiting to get a xhgance on track and seeing so much negativity posted about it.

Just finished my first hour with the sim and oh boy Took the Lotus 49 for a spin around Brands and absolltely loved it. All assists off so found it really tough to handle but what a joy to drive like that FFB was amazing on my TX... I had to turn everything down as it was way too strong at default but it was just brilliant to be able to feel everything the car cas doing.

Yes of course there are issues that many people are unhappy about and no private lobbies and no Time Trial leaderboards are two that surprised me but even so after this brief run out with it I'm hooked already... The driving is second to known
