Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Quote:
On a side note, due to holiday week the next update is expected to come with an additional week of delay, maybe two. I just waited for this announcement today, it turned out to be much better than hoped, and I now switch off the machine. Merry Christmas everybody!

Great news! I'm sure I won't want half the cars though, some '80s and '90s rallying and touring car gems would be my choice.

Set off at 6.20 this morning for a 250 mile round trip to pick up the wheel. Only took just over four hours and the roads weren't bad at all.
Just need the family to go to bed so I can set it up and get some practice laps in.

Me likey. Once configured.
In the 458 at Vallelunga I knocked 22 seconds off my 360-pad time after only 6 or 7 laps. Even before I'd configured and could only get to about 90 mph in 3rd or 4th on the long straights I'd beaten my previous record (slow and steady wins the race?). In the Fomula car I wasn't so great, but it was definitely more fun. Xbow on drift was a nightmare full stop. Need moar practice. @Sky, I think the wheel is the same, looks the same and has all the same buttons.

Great news on the Nordschleife!
@H-B Slow and steady is better in the beginning, until you get comfortable. Same with learning new cars and tracks. Something I'm not so good at sometimes, full on 100% all the time! In the end catching slides will become second nature, especially when you're in the "zone". It's a great feeling driving on the limit. EDIT: Driving the Ferrari F40 is most about: Throttle control, throttle control and throttle control. And sometimes you almost need to powerslide it to go faster, scary in that car. I managed to knock off about 4 seconds with semi-slicks compared to my best time that didn't even get Bronze time. It takes time to learn the F40. Last edited by Lionclaw; 12-25-13 at 06:14 AM. |

Remember my problem with not getting the P4/5 to turn. Experiment with settings for filter and speed gain at 0.1, and for the P4/5 reducue it to 0.05. Steering rotation angle is always the maximum the hardware allows, so 240-250° in case of the F430. You do not need to adjust it to match different steerings in different cars - let the sim handle such things. That is the advice Kunos gives, too, if the steering in a car is limited in angles, the sim should limit effect of higher angle rotations by the hardware all by itself. If the car has a 300° steering, and your hardware for example 900°, the sim makes sure that after 150° rotation off centre by hardware wheel the maximum steering ingame already has been reached. I must object Lionclaw there, sorry. But he drives much faster than me, so maybe he does it for other reasons (manually reducing steering angle for some cars, I mean). Make sure to have a small neutral zone at the wheel's centre. For pedals the same: reduce the brake especially, so that the first centimeter of pedal movement has no effect at all. Allows much more sensitive braking. Try a setting of brake gamma 2.4 - 2.8. Its a matter of taste and personal driving style of course, but the default settings definitely were too sensitive for me, with both wheels.

No problem, it's become a habit of mine to change steering ratio since rFactor days.

Yes, but I wonder why you do it? I mean AC does it for you if you change cars. If the sim does not adapt automatically, than I see why to do it manually - but here...?

Ahh, it seems I had set it up wrong in the settings in AC.
Tried driving the Ferrari 458 S3, it was drivable but I needed lots of steering input to do what I wanted. AC settings was around 4xx something degrees. I set it as close to 900 I could, now it behaves much better. The wheel ingame follows the hardware wheel but stops where the car has its full lock ingame. Like 400 ingame is 400 on wheel, but I can still turn the wheel more but nothing happens. That saves a bit of time going back and forth changing the settings. Thanks Skybird! |

I'm an idiot. Now you leave me in the dust by even more seconds. Every good deed sees its revenge the very same day.

With time you get better and better, just keep at it.
I've been simracing now for, almost 10 years or so. Not so much in the beginning, but since 2005 with GT Legends and some time later GTR2. And 2007 with rFactor when my simracing interest really took off, playing several times a week. Did one season (about a month) of iRacing two years ago, too expensive to play regurlary though. |

Started myself to simrace with Geoff Crammond's GP1 - 1991. You see, if time and age would translate into experience, I should be able to plow you ten inches deep under the tarmac!
But its okay, I enjoy it the way I use it. And online play never was my thing anyway. Currently I make sure I log 2 x 15-20 rounds per day. It makes me a safer, less accident-haunted driver - but no faster driver.

I repost a thread first posted by Kunos' Producer and Licensing Manager, that currently makes the round at Kunos' forums, and Racedepartment. The announcement of the Nordschleife strangely has made some crybabies complain about it being announced, being done, and how much Kunos owe to them anyway. Some people really are strange.

There is another announcement by Kunos rumoured to come on December 31st, referring to it as "a gift". Possible it will be a new car brand license. Another often repeated rumour holds it that it could be Lamborghini. Unconfirmed.

Kunos Simulazioni have released the announcement promised for the 31st - today. It says as a gift celebrating the huge success of AC Early Access, the brandnew LaFerrari supercar will be included for free in the final release of v1.0.
Well. Nice. But by the looks I like the 458 better.
