So I've been playing TXR3 recently and bought the GT40. What a fucking waste of money that thing was, even after extensive tuning and trying basically everything it's still too twitchy and it doesn't have an option for a spoiler to make up for any bad characteristics. I've gotten it to a level where it's twitchy but manageable but can't do much racing as losing some grip results in it wanting to spin out. The Power is unbelievable though and seems to walk to 210+mph and since it's NA it doesn't get too warm.

On the other hand, to go after the Subaru Wanderer I bought an Alcyone figuring it would be cheap and good enough to beat the guy then get back in the Pantera (which after a transmission rework is a beast now and seriously makes the GT40 almost redundant). I wound up clearing the C1, Shinkanjo, 4 wandered (though I did have to fudge one), and three bosses with it. And I could still use it after all that which is amazing. And it kept pretty cool, which left plenty of life to use the boost for bosses on. I could do the mileage trick to get a better flat 4 (or maybe the flat 6) and a sixth gear but I'll probably just buy a GTR with the money I get from selling the GT40.

What has everyone been playing recently?

Horizon 3 and MSC

Well, not so much playing MSC as hex editing the save to fix the issue with my fan belt disappearing into the ether. So far I managed to get data from an older save that has the fan belt attached to the engine, and I'm going to try to drive the car to inspection without it breaking down again.

Gotta admit that once you built the car, the game transitions from fun to grinding money to buy upgrades and do the rally bit quite swiftly. And since the mission pins have the habit of fucking off with each save (since you have to reload) it gets boring to stay in front of the fucking phone waiting for the missions to pop.

Tokyo Xtreme Racing Drift
The souped up AE86 is surprisingly good, especially in downhill, although I still need to learn how to drift properly
Had to retry a night time challenge 10 or so times

Bump

Is the 2015 Need For Speed any good? I've seen it has quite nice graphics and detailed customization.

Horizon 3 of course. Still waiting for BeamNG to become a proper game. I need my fix of crashes (the car kind, not the software kind).

It would be quite good if the handling wasn't total ass. Graphics are good as long as you're into murky rainy cities, customization is okay on some cars but lacking on some others (and the vinyl editor is pretty good), content is okay, cutscenes are kinda cringy but Amy is a perfect waifu.

But the handling. God damn, the handling. It's random at best, sometimes the car won't turn when you're full lock on the pad, sometimes the drift force will keep pushing you when you're trying to go straight, and sometimes it will handle sensibly. Sometimes, tapping the brake is enough to trigger a burnout styled drift, sometimes even mashing the handbrake can't break traction. Collisions are stupid as well, including the stupid crash cam that seems to trigger completely randomly. I found that going into the "setup" menu and putting everything on drift helps a bit, but then it feels like the shit drift physics in Carbon at all times.

There was a 10 hour demo on PC but I don't think it's still available.

>the cars are beautiful
Is this what fun feels like? I needed this… I really needed this.

Pretty much. The game is fucking fantastic and my only real complaint is the quality of the PC port. I really do hope they keep working on it.

This is what good games feel like.

That's the feeling of playing a game you instantly fell in love with
A feeling that I haven't felt in a very long time

What's a good uphill car for Tokyo Xtreme Racer Drift?

one with the most torque and 4WD
a turbo doesn't hurt either

So I had an idea to use notable music from various racing games/movies as custom music for Forza Horizon 3. What songs would you guys suggest?

DJ

Still playing dirt rally.

youtube.com/watch?v=uG1x6-wCDLM

i had made this webm during the the crew times but i forgot to post it

Any game made by Criterion, let it be any Burnout, HP 2010 or MW 2012. They have god like tastes.

Or even a game where you buy a junk car and work your way up the ranks.

...

they might actually under a new name, but frankly I was never really a fan of the burnout franchise

but damn if the soundtracks are good

heres an entire setlist of about 341 songs I just made. Have fun picking out your favourites .
youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPo3ZQ-ozobyAk3CKvWUL63EvjoGkjMIW

Welp.

Cars my friend, cars.

are there people who actually pay for that shit?

yes.

Adding every drum and bass and techno song from the soundtrack is a huge mistake. They are all butchered versions of the original songs (shortened and loudness war-ed to hell and back), I'm guessing because they wanted the music to be more like Midnight Club 2 (cut and looped) and when they switched to the playlist system they didn't bother fixing up the songs.

Speaking of which…

I like them. They remind me of a simpler time when the Mclarren F1 was around £300k and still in production

scratch that, it was £600k

Postan some car sounds. WRC 2017 regulations seem to be pretty good.

user…

I know I should make the club invite only at this point, but I really want to see how big this can get.

those side skirts look awfully low

What? WRC car engines where so quiet you could here the sequential tranny whine when they downshifted. Shit sounded terrible. Sounds as bad as the F1 kers flywheel.

Yeah yaris probably still finalizing their design. They have the best sound going so far. C3 has best design though, those tires look so big on this car.

How did that even happen?

also:
GROUP BEEE


That's nothing, because I always place 1st in the club ladder I keep getting invited to other Invite-only clubs.

I have no fucking clue. Also fun fact: Two more people joined since I posted that image.

...

Ford sound a shit

hyundai sounds 2nd best

No wonder Ford's WRC team quit, after they closed their bongistan factories and opened up the turkish ones their automotive output has been as shit as the country they were built in.

My niger, personally it is best need for speed mainly because of the sound track and story.

...

Which is a shame because they been apart of rally for so long.
I hope yaris keeps this sound. Only 3 months away from the 2017 season can't wait.

Decided to check the group, we've got triples boys.

Any webms from what happened on friday?

homologation is for homos

...

UR A HOMO

Nice. Since my last post 4 more people joined. The Horizon 3 club is at 109 now.


The moment I saw the tag I knew it would be the most retarded thing to add.

You have shit taste, enjoy your arcade-ish crap.

driving rock is the only valid rock music you nu male fucks

fuck i mean driving rock is the only valid driving music

You see, driving rock just embodies the toxic masculinity of racing. Don't you know it's 2016?! ==GIRLS RACE TOO YOU KNOW! WHY DO YOU GUYS HAVE TO BE SO SEXIST?! GOD, I CAN DRIVE A FERRARI GALLARDO JUST AS GOOD AS THE NEXT GUY!==

Someone never watched "the brothers bloom" shit movie by the way, save for rachel weiz being a semen demon as usual

This?

I had to do it.

JUST GROUP B MY SHIT UP

some gringo explain the funny in this

Its a shop of this Jeb Bush image when he gets all the electoral votes;

The joke is only funny when you follow Jeb Bush' campaign and how hilariously sad it was before he dropped out of the race. Poor ol' Jeb

he will soon rule over both promised lands of simracing. we will soon kneel before his statue as we pray for good force feedback and consistent lap times.

inb4 e-sports

bruh, don't even joke, I'd play the fuck out of an E-sports racing game with levels and progression.

Hopefully Kaz manages to get his shit together and you'll get GT Sport.

Sounds like a Demo Derby game though
It will probably be a demo derby with dubstep and shiny sport cars with nitro, the times of Driven To Destruction have long gone, and it still hurts

We could have gotten something if Bugbear bothered to fucking add content to Wreckfest already.

It's a mobile game

what's komnot

pronounced "kompot"
it's fruit preserve.

skill-based racing is a meme

What he said. I've made some, it's like Jam you can drink.


E-Sport racing games would still be better then F1.

Any recommendations?

forzamotorsport.net/en-us/news/apex_premium_edition
How could they even think that was a good idea?
Or rather, do people really play the game this much they got bothered by the low car count and wanted more?

I mean new content, even paid for, is pretty cool but it sounds like they added 2 or 3 spotlight events per DLC pack. Basically 7 bucks for an hour or two worth of content.

Fuck I would have paid for an upgrade to FM6, not this.

What a shame. I love the nuremugergergerging.

What's that magical song playing?

An edited version of running in the 90s.

Still dirt rally, still making shitty webms with stupid music

I had a laff, thanks user

playing F1 2016 right now
Its pretty fun

Just doin' what I do, other user.

...

Not sure I agree with you there m9, I'm hearing a little bit of the old Escort in it.

best car to have fun in.
Wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have a powerband of like 100rpm. Watching old vids from the 80's the drivers hovered around midrange rpm only revving up for corners or holding slides.

Drag cars are kinda broken as fuck but so fun to drive in actual conditions, at least if you're not playing pinball with it. The moment where you can finally put the throttle down coming out of a slow corner is sex

I'm going to die in the VR future, how are you going to spend the rest of your life?

2 days ago the gta 5 deadline dlc came out and it's actually good, the new adversary gamemode for once isn't garbage that nobody plays. It's the tron arcade game's lightcycle part except you have the new bike with gta 5's physics, different maps and 3 power ups (time slowdown that makes everyone else's bikes handle worse, a quick speed boost and a jump so you can hop other people's light trail)
Anyone at /ogc/ playing it?

I played it once but my computer hitches when I play GTA5 and costs me wins in races and straight up ends matches of deadline when it happens. I'm pretty sure it's my HDD, but I'm not sure.

so far, they tend to be popular after release then stop being so

I'm going to drown in liberal tears.

The TRON shit looks so out of place here, it's like looking at a mod for a videogame.

Sort of like the Star Wars mod for Arma 3 where the clean and sleek aesthetics of Star Wars doesn't work in a dirty, green/brown island in the Mediterranean.

Let me know how well it works, I have PSVR and if I had to buy another headset, I was pretty sure it would be a Vive.

And how well does it work?

Pretty good for being a $400 HMD. Driveclub is ass in it, but RIGS and Battlezone are decent quality and they don't have framerate issues. The actual HMD is comfortable to wear for hours, but the bigger trade off is it doesn't block out all the light, which can be a huge immersion killer. If I had more games that could make use of it on PC or PS4, I'd say it'd one of the best HMDs to get merely because it's the cheapest and works on both platforns. But since PC stuff requires extra fuckery with software that doesn't have the same effect, it's not quite there.

It feels like this is an appropriate place to ask.
Does anyone know how to get NFS Carbon running on pcsx2?
It freezes during the first loading screen.

>tfw no ubisoft sale on ps4
The crew pricedrop when?

I think they copied Saints Row for it, they had those kind of bikes since I think 2 or 3?

Have you tried using some of the settings mentioned in the wiki?

Since three. One of the themes was cyberpunk. They got a cyberpunk gang, a bunch of cyberpunk vehicles, clothes and activities.

Yes.
Shit's fucked.

What the fuck are you talking about? Star Wars (the original trilogy) is dirty-grimy sci-fi, the imperial forces are a contrast to that in that they're sterile clean soldiers to represent how inhuman they are and to convey to you that they're the bad-guys. I mean when Star-wars came out it was praised for having a universe that looked lived-in.

No experience with PS2 emulators but why would you want to play Carbon on an emulator rather than on a pc?

because non-native X-input support and sketchy russian torrents make for a bad time.

dirt 3 for free on humble store

Cool

Pretty much another broken bike, at least it can be compared to the drag

Claimed.
Now to crash repeatedly because lack of throttle control.

nah, D3 is very playable even with a keyboard

I'm not very /ogc/, but I'd play with you.

sorry what is 'non-natic X-input'? Also, I would imagine there are a lot carbon torrents since it was a popular game. Second hand copies are easy to get, right?

Thanks user

Dirt3:Complete 3I39P-KEZ45-VYVIW first come first serve, if you get it, tell me a joke as thanks

what did the man say to the truck driver in the holocaust museum car park?
give it more gas

I didn't claim it, I already have the game, I just wanted to make the joke.

thanks user

XInput is the thing that make xbox controllers work not like shit

muda' fuka, didn't i specify that I wanted a joke as thanks? this guy could do it even without needing the code.

who cares as long as it's fun?

it supports direct input and has rebindable keys you fatty

yeah but that's work, why bother with that when you already have your keys binded already to an emulator?

Link for lazy bums.

Thanks, always enjoy free shit.

Also Automation now has a career mode (though there's not much to do and I couldn't figure out how to add a variation to an existing model).

It reminds me of Gearcity which is more a business sim then a car maker sim.

I know, and I'm not the one complaining about it. Don't really understand the point of using the emu anyway, it's not like it's one of the few NFS games that is really better on consoles.

wot

fiddling with the PPD settings so I can read the silly labels on my cars in dirt rally.
My friend managed to get a CV1, DK1 and DK2 for like £300 because of that shit.

anyone with an iphone/ipad tested F1 2016? not out yet on android and i'd really like to know if it's any interesting

Holy shit

Also for the Automation thing if your talking about adding another trim to a car in production you can't do that in the current "lite" campaign. It may come with the unreal engine conversion, but I don't expect that version to come out for awhile. At least it has gameplay now though, building retarded hypercars in sandbox gets dull after awhile

Well, not actually after I first purchased it and being confused as fuck by it I dropped it and went back to racing game. I'm sure I could get something going, but the autism hasn't hit me hard enough yet.

I'm glad there's shit to do now in Automation, even if it's bare bones as fuck. I just wanna hire more engineers so my cars can come out in a decent time.

It's funny, Dirt 3 got a free release and /ogc/ is dead. I'm not alone in thinking it waxes carrot over Ken Block and Gymkana too much right? Also I'm sure the majority of the tutorials are over now that I'm out of the first thing but god damn was it agonizing to go through while demolishing everything.

It's just night time in Clapistan, just wait a few hours and /ogc/ anons will be back
It's true, isn't it?
Anyway it would be fun to do some online rallies
No assists obviously

Are there any FH3 races this week?

It's bullshit but I'd imagine Turn 10 is too deep into FM7 by now to seriously consider porting FM6 over. Though that is confirmed PC on Day 1 this time so it's probably just the wait that will be a pain in the ass.

Speaking of FM7. Looks like they might be dropping Top Gear since there's a promo going on in FH3 promoting The Grand Tour on Amazon next week. It was rumored for a while on Forzacentral, but this is close as we're getting Top Gear is gone.

Thank fuck, Dunsfold fucking sucked in career mode. It's OK as a Time trial track but it's fucking garbage in a full pack race.

This just in:

A re-release of Crashday to make it compatible with modern systems and maybe add new content has been greenlit and is planned to release Soon (tm)

Doesn't dirt 3 have proper rallies to, like more than one car doing the sprint at once?

Next weekend. Will post on Monday with the plans (both here and to the club).

I guess you're right. I did some racing in Dirt3 online, it was fun. Didn't know it had CTF mode, that was fun


Top Gear confirmed kill.
But I am wondering if TGT will live up to expectations (and more importantly when the fuck is it coming out)?


Neat, compared to Gas Guzzlers Extreme how was the original Crashday? They seem remarkable similar.


Yeah Dirt3 does though fuck if it doesn't go off about fucking Gymkhana.

TGT comes out in a week actually. You can see clips of it on their twitter. twitter.com/thegrandtour

wew dirt 3 is kinda lame. I didn't realize how arcady it was. Roads are like a mile wide and the cars feel like that have no suspension.

It does, players either start at a few seconds apart with collisions on or all together with collisions off


CTF? Interesting


Sadly it's not the best, but better than nothing since it's free
The mountain Monaco roads with the Lancia Stratos are very fun

...

GYMKHANA BRO! DRIFTIN' SICKER THAN KEN BLOCK BRO!

Ridge Racer is an awful series.

It also has a tag mode that's good fun


That's your oppion doesn't mean you aren't wrong

Ken block so shit he had to pioneer a whole new type of non-competitive motorsport.

No surprise there since his teammates carry him through really such as last year's results. The hooning shit is nothing but him trying to force his dudebro version of rally off.

I miss when it was just rally and none of this dudebro shit. Though I'm noticing a lot of sports games around 2009-2011 are very dudebro.

have you ever nutted in VR?

The sad thing is, this looks more tempting than any game or porn I've seen for VR so far. Just to browse like I normally do but in "cyberspace" seems cooler than anything people have put out so far.

How do you even know where you're dick is?

grab on when you can see and don't let go.

How do you know where your butthole is

You stick finger in jungle and smell it till it smells bad, then you know where butthole is

It's attached to me and I can feel it? it's not a lifeless appendage, I can bounce my dick up and down if I tense it.
Like don't you have hand-dick co-ordination?

If I lose sight if any part of my body the co-ordination goes a bit iffy

You sound like a freak, you should shoot up your school.

Realtalk tho, you should see a doctor about that.

how do you play video games without hand-eye coordination?

I always have my controller in my outer parts of my vision
If I don't see it I can still play but I make mistakes a little more often

I once nutted with a google cardboard and some 3D porn and it was ok.

And before that I once nutted with some of those cross eye 3D hentai pics, which was alright if a bit straining on the eyes.

Putting everything back on rails, how do you handbrake properly in Dirt 3? I swear 4WD cars handle like fucking Cadlillacs

Made a Re-Volt thread again.
in case anyone is interested.

You just reminded me that some patch killed my retarded beast of a machine by adjusting engine limitations.

holy shit

The only reliable way to get that time is to have a power to weight ratio go over 1:1
Which requires extreme measures
fucking proxy stop changing my id

...

Can anyone recommend a good budget racing wheel?

...

The Driving Force GT seems to be a popular choice. Otherwise a T80 or T150, but be warned that you only get 2 pedals instead of three if you want to upgrade to an h-gate shifter.

DFGT
T150

used G25/27 are also good choices

Isn't that Trackmania?

It was, but is it still? TM had its spotlight around the release of Nations too many years ago but TM2 seems to have fallen quite low.

tfw

...

The xbone update that shows the percent of completion for each achievement is quite interesting.

Basically all the Forzathon events are around 1%, which is funny.

Alright, just posted this week's race. It;s a simple one (pic related).

HOWEVER
For those of you here; If you're in the club and don't have me(kookro) as a friend I need to test something. I want to see if it's possible to have you guys join my online game by going to it in the club and seeing if there's a 'join game' option. I'll be online this Wednesday from 11pmGMT to 3amGMT. If this works I can make it a first come first serve type of deal without the frustrations of invites and sign-ups.

Just as a sidenote for you guys, I'm working on making a discord since all the cool kids are doing it nowadays.

discord.gg/jhW5bKB

Mind the dust

Do you mean Datsun proper or Datsun being a meme term for all Nissans?

Proper. There are 2 in the game.

What about the 240Z? The Z cars were sold as a Datsun in the US up until the 300ZX.

I think it will be easier to just use Datsuns labelled as such in the game, because otherwise you could just say they're all Nissans because they were sold as Nissans in japan

I'm going to specifically limit the races to the 2 cars labeled as Datsun.

So I can't just put Datsun stickers and join?

Is the discord up? How many people inside?

Yes, just click the link.

discord.gg/jhW5bKB


We had 4 people on last night, keep in mind that the number only goes up the more people join in. Plus Discord saves all the people who joined the channel so you can see how many joined but aren't on at the moment.

I'll jump in, if the air is good I'll stay

Don't worry, it's still rather slow going. Hopefully the guys playing Forza Horizon 3 might find some use in it for the weekend over the mumble. Nice thing too is that you can access it via the software or through your browser.

what's wrong with paradise besides the lack of big surf, cops & robbers and no soundtrack customization?

nevermind I answered myself. speaking of paradise any fags still play it? I just started, got my burnout license yesterday, haven't touched the online yet.

I don't know about the soundtrack customization, but modders got Big Surf and Cops and Robbers working on PC using the Vanity Pack.

I thought the vanity pack mod only had the models from cops&robbers, not the actual game mode?

Yeah, only the models from what I'm aware of. It still as a whole added on more than EA ever bothered to support at least with the PC release.

humblebundle.com/store/promo/codemasters-byob/
In case someone was interested, you can make a bundle of Codemasters Games (including ricing stuff) and get discounts on them

What really stumps me about BP on PC is that they completely dropped the DLC store not long after release. It's like they don't even want our money.

Criterion (or should I say "Criterion") put the bonus vehicle pack up on Origin last year, it's only $1.50 so I actually gave EA a little money rather than looking for a way to pirate since they made it easy.

Well that was a stealth release.

Seems legit, but I'm probably gonna do a couple of free for all events towards the end anyway. (Mostly just the infection and king modes so class won't matter as much)

They re-added the Burnout Store, it's the reason why the Vanity Pack removed the DLC cars since there was now a way to legitimately acquire them.

Shit when did they add in a Sunny Truck?


When did that happen? Does it work with the Steam release or is it only on Origin? But the big question is why it didn't have it all included if it was called the "Ultimate Box"?

Because EA, I guess
Also join the discord so we can organize rices when we want

👌💯
👎👎👎

I bought bonus vehicle pack on Origin and it was activated when I loaded game on Steam (I don't own game on Origin, either).

If you used the same account to buy the DLC and login while in the game it's normal.

Also the Steam keys work in Origin so maybe there's some account linking at play.

Yeah it looks good, but idk about it's representation in esports.

Just a reminder for this, I'll be playing in 20 minutes and It's be really helpful to see if this works. Alternatively, if you can't get in add me as a friend and join without me adding you back. If that works I could at least have each person sacrifice only a single friend slot without having to fill up all mine.

Anyone have the webm with gas? You know the one.

Dammit, have to wait until the shitty xbox app updates. Just try joining in 10 minutes, I should be on by then.

Dunno if you're still there, but I tried to join just now and it's not letting me.

Damn. That means I still have to make sugn up sheets. Thanks for letting me know.

Going to shamelessly keep shilling this, but there's race rooms and the like available in the discord in case you want to use it Saturday. Might be easier to use than the in game system though I'm not too familiar with Horizon 3.

It's probable that private session means invite only.

can anyone recommend ps2 raysan games?

gran tardismo

Ridge Racer V :^)

...

ford raysan

total immersion racing

What's a good racing game on the PS3? My dad plays shitty phone game racing games and I want to get him something that doesn't demand micro transactions for everything.

Gran Autismo is a starting point. Not sure what's better between 5 and 6

well, getting him into ps3 is rarely an improvement

fuck i mean hardly not rarely

He bought it so he could play fucking Buzz! quiz games

any streams where we can watch the grand tour live?

What's the best quality/price ratio wheel out there? Is it g29? You can get it with the shifter for under 300€.

What's a game where you race trucks besides big rigs, hard truck, euro truck and 1nsane?

Automobilista or rFactor.

Ridge Racer 7 is great, trips user. I think CTR is on PSN for it, too. R4, by that logic too. But RR7 is a decently polished game with good looks. It's a little too drift heavy for me compared to R4 but hey.

So apparently the grand tour is out. What's the verdict?

anons,
What's a good racing game to pick up if I'm on Linux and have no money?

Would be great if I could find a racing game where you go so fast you can jump across parts of the track. (Something other than F-Zero, it has lots of track-jumping but the physics are so wonky it's not really the same)
Embed related because high-velocity jumping.

I'm downloading it now, will post comment when watched.

got a magnet link?

Private tracker. I could upload to mega once I'm done (still showing just under an hour til done).

720 available on rarbg

Also, I would have paid for it but they decided it would be a brilliant idea to be available in my country next month and not when the series start.

So fuck you

supertuxkart

It's kinda amazing how there's nothing on anything for it. I hope a Final Gear pops up for it, but I doubt that will happen

I hope it ends up appearing in Forza 7.

Sorry it took so long, uploading now.

Just finished watching Initial D, looking for some arcadey street racing game in the vein of NFS:U but a bit more recent, preferably with ricing and lots of drifting. Bonus points if it has open world.


Patrician taste, user.

It's old Top Gear. 3 middle aged men falling over and things blowing up.

So all is right with the world again.

Just got a car and god damn do the electronic gas pedals suck dick. You floor it, and nine million years later the engine starts revving. Holy shit who the fuck thought that was a good idea.

The Grand Tour has its own circuit called the Eboladrome.

Drive by wire in itself is better than cable, it all depends on how it's tuned.

Everything apart from the Stig not being there. Replaced with someone who talks. It kinda looks like they've done away with Star in a Reasonably Priced Car (maybe), which is definitely a positive in my book.

Not to mention it seems to be flipping the bird to how stuff was done at Big Black Cock what with making fun of Gypsies, Stars, and having an absolutely bonkers track.


I just got done watching the episode and got it. And I'm frankly not sure how a race would be done on it apart from bangers.

As a plus they seemed to have lampshaded Star in a car which was always meant for a piss break. It was interesting how they worked around not having the Stig (if I had to have bet I would have though Clarkson would have went with the original concept of a gimp)Hopefully when old TG goes tits up in a season or two they'll say they bought him at auction or something. Another neat thing is how they didn't run about covering all the bases like "lol, Robins roll over, Americans are dumb, Famous People" like Top Cuck did with the first episode back.

It seemed very much more like how I imagine their live shows went which is nice.

That's not the electronics, that's the shit engine you got in your shit car.

It's somewhat of a shame it went this well because it means fangirls on the internet will be even more annoying than before.

That's why I want it in. Would be fun to avoid cars on the not straight.

...

It's also the electronics, in the sense its purposely lagged by the computer because normal plebs can't handle true MFI throttle response

Yeah but it's not the electronic throttle itself, more like the mapping that can most probably be changed.

Or maybe he was duped and bought a car with a fucked engine.

inb4 Horizon 4 is a 3 player coop game and the intro is exactly the same as TGT's

Shamefully bumping my question, the next wheel I'm looking into is T300 ferrari with 3 pedals, but it's 370€ without shifter which is another 130€. Even without it, it's still quite expensive, is it really worth 120€ more over g29?

I heard mixed stuff about the T300, apparently it's extremely hit or miss meaning it either works or start borking itself after a few days, and there's plenty of nonworking models

Yes, it is, the shifter is leagues better than the crock of shit Logitech sells (not that you're going to really need it if you're intending to actually go fast and not just cruise) and the wheel unit itself has much better FFB.

But if you're just intending to casually whip out your wheel for the occasional bit of simracing it doesn't really matter.

Thanks for replying, well I have never owned an wheel and I'm planning to use it like you said occasionally for single player simracing. I would have gone with the Thrustmaster one, but I really do want the shifter and the th8a is quite an investment, also it looks really tall and I don't know how comfortable would it feel clamped on the desk on the same level as the wheel. But I'm also reading a lot of criticism regarding g29 being repacked g27 with the same old technology. And their shifter does look like a cheap toy compared to th8a.

If you plan to simrace on PC, most sims support multiple input devices, so you might hybrid G29 (the pedals are good) with Thrustmasters shifter so you get the better of the two

ghetto rig a bit of plank to your seat to mount the shifter. Frankly no matter which shifter you choose it's going to be awkward when mounted on your desk.

And yeah, G29 is pretty much that, there are some differences but not major ones. The extra buttons, switch to hall effect sensors from optical sensors (doesn't really make a difference, maybe they won't have the G25/27 weakness of going a bit over time, a $2 fix) and it comes with a built in ultra stiff brake pedal mod.

Anyone mind helping a struggling user?

I use an old bedside table with the wheel and shit. When I want to rice I move it under the desk, move the monitor closer and I'm good.
Not perfect, actually the position is a bit awkward but considering that table was there making dust I have a ghetto simracing mount at no virtual cost

Thanks for the input, I will probably wait until cyber monday deals and see if I can get the whole thrustmaster deal for something reasonable if not I will probably go with the g29.

Additional stupid question, how much does the wheel shake the table it's mounted to? I'm kind of paranoid it will somehow mess up my hard drives since I have my pc on the same desk.

Depends how's too much for you.
The wheels (at least, Logitech does but I suppose Thrustmaster will too) come with a tool that allows to set up stuff including the feedback strenght, so your best choice is to run some tests once you get them

oh no

time to see if the xbox needs an update or if it was downloaded earlier


Depends on the game, some use FFB as some sort of fancy rumble and will shake a lot, some other games have good FFB but ship with a stupidly high default FFB strength that creates shaking. Just turn it down as you see fit.

on the quest for 100K points of landscaping I may have accidentally australia's production

Also it's worth doing the Forzathon challenges on the boner just for the rare achievement animation that makes you forget you wasted half an hour playing shit playground gamemodes in a shit car.

ok, so I did the Forzathon achievement for 20k XP and it gave them to me in the next championship so I have quite a lead from the get go

stupid, stupid game

Do you have to get them all at once or just in total?

In total. Basically you need about 100 landscaping skills, less if you have an HE skill bonus car.

God the online in Forza Horizon 3 is such a piece of shit. I'm playing on PC and can't fucking stay in a game. I get constant disconnects after a couple of minutes, massive lag and just straight up crashes to desktop on top of that. What a hot pile of garbage.

Of course it is mapping, the problem is that you need to do a chip-tuning of the vehicle and since the only official firmware is the shitty stock one, you get someone's bootleg firmware which may or may not be buggy. That's not to imply that official firmware is bug-free, but they at least have all the frequent ones ironed out.

Same, the game keeps on telling me I'm low on memory even though I have 16GB of RAM.

Where does it tell you that? Whenever I have a problem with the game it just crashes without any errors or anything that could be used to troubleshoot it. I have no idea why the online doesn't work either. Every other game has always worked, all other online features for Foraza work just fine and even the online play problems are really inconsistent so it's incredibly hard to try figure out what it could be. On top of that this game has had so many problems for so many people that it's fucking impossible to find any solutions on forums because it's all a cluttered mess of poor descriptions and incredbly roundabout suggestions for fixes.

It was my first time playing today after a pretty long while and it felt like the handling with a wheel was different. Did they change something since the first two or three weeks of launch? It's incredibly sensitive and really really fucking twitchy no matter how much I lower the sensitity or adjust the linearity. In the end I just put the handling down from simulation to normal because it felt so awful to just drive in a straight line.

It's one of these. I can only play about an hour solo and one of those online tournaments if I'm lucky before it pops up and then crashes soon after.

I've never seen anything like that and I run 8GBs of RAM. I didn't actually think this game produced error messages because it never has for me. Had about a dozen crashes and all are just instant CTDs. Maybe there's a log file somewhere but I've not found it because I can't fucking find the folder this shit is installed in because L O L W I N D O W S S T O R E L O L. I'm guessing it should be in the "WindowsApps" folder but it's empty so whatever.

Is this what it feels like to play on consoles? Have zero control over your game and being completely at the mercy of the developer with no way to fix anything.

Well it's a generic windows error popup and I only know where the config file is but that won't help.

Yup.

I also just did some looking and if you installed the game in the default location it should be C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.OpusPG_1.0.23.2_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe

Hey guys, made an Xbox club (which spans across all games) called Auto Games Coalition. Be sure to search for it and join if you play Horizon 3 since this may actually be a way to invite people into multiplayer. At least I hope so.

Also you need to look for it in the xbox app, for those of you on PC.

For PC it's easier to search via the clubs icon on the left instead of putting it in the search box on the right.

I miss Sega GT 2002 and JSRF
