First for the crippling realisation of that fact.
At least there's the C1 loop for Ass Corsa and rFactor, right?
Sick pussy, killer tits, tight ass. I also go by my nicknames, The Rational Atheist and The Ethical Atheist.
why the fuck WingMan Formula Force GP is in the spread sheet? it's ancient as fuck, has no shifter, next to no rotation, 4 buttons total.
at least put Momo Racing Force instead of is as entry choice for poorfags, it's a bit less terrible.

Genki made a game called Shutokō Battle Online, however it wasn't released in the us. I wonder if it is possible to find a download and possibly set up a server.
>>15348575
>4 buttons total
6 actually, 2 "shifters" behind wheel + 4 buttons on front
>>15348575
Because if I remember correctly there was one person who used it. I also use to use mine before I got my G27
i'm looking for interesting open-wheel cars for assetto corsa, something unique/characteristic - like lotus 49 with it's enormous engine and no aero or 98t with its stupidly huge turbo.
Any recommendations?

Slowfag here. What's the most effective way to become fastfag?

>SP
how are those traffic jams treating you?
>>15352460
The way you go fast/improve your lap times is by developing a rhythm while driving. For the most part you can achieve this by simple just lapping. While lapping make it your goal to drop time or get close to your best lap time each lap. I myself find that coming up with ideas while driving on how to get faster is a great way to do this. Apply these different ideas while lapping, such as using a different gear one corner, different approach to the corner, etc. Checking out faster people's on boards will help you brush up on your own line if stuck. After developing your line you'll find that you are much more consistent and have found the rhythm. And also you'll find yourself being much quicker out of the gate when you find yourself driving on a new track.
I tend to be a more interactive learner myself, so for me this has been the most effective way to become faster. I've see that doing stuff such as >>15352489 pretty much does not work as well for anyone past that one race weekend if they are lucky.
>>15352460
to clarify what others have said about no braking
if you have good lines you don't need to slow down as much or shift as much weight backing off the throttle and lock is enough
(back off steering lock to avoid too much lift off over steer)
when you do brake only do so for corners you really know need it, most courses only have three or so corners like this
also remember that you do not have to come to a stop, nor do you have to brake early as some corners have a later apex than others
and here are some quotes from famious racing drivers

Congrats, you're fast now.
If you aren't though, keep practicing until you are.
>>15352921
Thank god i leave the office past 8 pm, so it's not that bad.
But, if you take the bus, it uses the bus-only lane, and don't suffer much from all the traffic jams, specially around Ibirapuera.
If you DO go to that part of town, I feel sorry for your poor soul.
>>15353009
This is really a double-edged sword. While it'll help when hot lapping by yourself, getting into a rhythm is something you should only be doing if there's no traffic around. But the biggest issue is when people just hotlap like that, they only really learn that line. So when either overtaking or defending they're mostly helpless. Trying to understand the basics ideas and learning to apply them will help the most. Do as many pick-up races as possible to learn how to deal with human drivers.

Someone who attempted to break open Shutokou Battle online here with some well informed m8s
Basically it's impossible as there's no server software ever released, the game was pretty much in an early beta by the time it died anyway, so unless we've got some uber clever blokes here able to recreate anything to access it you'll have todo with emulators i'm afraid.
However you can still download the client from various sources, just look it up as it's been ages since I touched on the whole affair, think there's a couple of different versions that all function pretty much the same. I remember being able to get to the menu screen somehow, but otherwise I forgot. Hope some /ovg/ wizards could rise to the challenge here
pic related folder of my installed version, data formats is some old .mmdl format and the assets are p much worthless now with much better alternatives for both C1 line and cars from Wangan Midnight PS3 (which I also oversaw happening)
Import Tuner Challenge I think worked on some ad hoc basis where you were the host between a couple of peeps and nothing was connected to, had the game but noone to play it with to test out this theory. Assume it's dead judging it's release date.

I am literally incapable of drifting in Corsa, I either spin out or slow down way too much every single time.
How do I get gud?

>>15358271
forgot /o/ doesn't support spoilers woops
>>15358271
Use the E30 drift tune and just keep trying.
Don't fight the wheel, let it spin, use the throttle to control the car more.
It's pure practice.

Fuck off, Donatello.
I don't want to play your stupid arcade racer.

>>15358271
There is no "wax on, wax off" in drifting, you learn by doing it. Start with the E30 and after a while use the japanese mod cars(aristo, chaser etc).
One thing I found is that people are scared to go on the throttle, so they tend to snap back.
Don't use assists, because they will become a crutch and it will be even more difficult without them.

Hey guys, just posting this in case this is helpful to someone.
Driving a forklift (or other cargo movers) for work can be pretty enjoyable if you like sim racing and/or driving in general. You're always trying to go faster and link all your movements together seamlessly, and when going longer from A to B you can try to perfect a "racing line". If you're lucky you get to drive on gravel or a dusty concrete floor, sliding and drifting around every turn. Also, you can spend most of the day by yourself just listening to podcasts/music/whatever the fuck you want on your MP3 or radio

You can also "graduate" to some pretty serious machines, earning pretty good money if you wanna make a career out of it

It's a dumped down version for you PC cucks.
But don't worry, future releases will all be on PC and xbone.

There's a game for the old xbox that's called Rallisport Challenge 2, the largest stage i've played lasted 12 minutes, i went slower because it was night time, lolrain, first time and the co driver acted weird by not always saying i could cut some corners without risk. Also which game is that?
>>15358432
The camera is most likely against a wall. There's no way in except through the large door, also he's got mirrors dummy.
I looked through a couple of videos for that post and noticed all of them were riddles with armchair faggots in the comments
>>15357646
1nsane
4x4 Evo 2
Screamer Off-Road
The Crew
Baja: Edge of Control
Motorstorm
Monster Truck Madness 2 (with mods)
Spintires
FUEL
Honorable mention to Mad Max, because while it is an excellent off-road game, it has everything but regular vehicles.
Personally, The Crew fills my desire for almost all types of driving. It's like someone took Monster Truck
Madness, Motocross Madness, 4x4 Evo and Midtown Madness and slapped it all into a single game with little hints of Driver, Destruction Derby and Wipeout (especially Circuit-class).
>>15358362
It's a very feature-rich demo. There's enough content to make it worth running through the short campaign and unlocking vehicles, the tuning and painting system is fully-functional, but you can't upgrade cars or use the vinyl editor.
It runs okay and, depending on your settings, can look like Forza 2 or even prettier than FM6.
night races are hype as fuck, and the rain effects and physics are incredible. At Brands Hatch, puddles appear in the apexes of the first hairpin and a stream of water is flowing down the hill immediately after it, as you run through it or other puddles on the track, the car hydroplanes quite realistically.
What's you're favorite type of car to drive? I'd make a poll, but there's too many options.
I like 80's 90's touring cars the best. The modern GT/Touring cars feel more like really heavy gokarts. Very little weight shifting.
FRIENDLY REMINDER
/ovg/ IndyCar Round 3
THIS SATURDAY
2200 UTC
Barber Motorsports Park (track is on the doc)
40 Laps
Primary (Black) tires are slower but last way longer (haven't yet tested how long)
Alternate (Red) tires are faster but only last about 15 laps
No FCYs for this event, local yellows and advisory blue flags only
No rain for this event
Event will probably be a standing start, though that may change if there is found to be a stalling issue in testing.
>>15358562
How long does fuel last?
>>15358566
Get GID nigga
>TXR Drift 2 physics are appalling and ruins the whole game
>>15358566
I have a feeling that with a little care, you can get a single tank to last an entire race, but I haven't tested fuel myself.
My strategy is going to be to start on blacks, run about 26-28 laps (which you can definitely do on a single tank), then pit for reds and take on enough fuel to make it to the end.
>>15358599
drifting in that game is hard as fuck
also impossible without using the handbrake
>>15358559
It would be
>High-revving shitboxes
>Practically stock 90s Japanese sports cars only with a welded diff / lowered springs (aka street spec)
>Things with massive turbo lag
>>15358617
Ikr
The diff feels almost binary on/off/stuck, countersteering a drift is a futile pursuit and mostly you spend more time being scared of fucking up the mandatory drift events than wanting to skid
>>15358617
Nice inertia drift.
Is AC the best game if I want to be like Dagumi?
>>15358604
I see, guess I'll have to do some testing
>>15358648
Try rfactor first, look on wiki for ultra-lite version before putting money on the table
>>15358559
Open wheelers>current Touring cars>GT(1,2,3,4)>90s DTM>Prototypes>80s touring cars
>>15358656
What?
>>15358559
The 1937 F1 mod for rFactor is absolutely based. The cars are slow and have no grip, but nice smooth torque letting you slide them everywhere. They also require some different tuning techniques.
'60s and '70s open wheelers are really nice to drive because they have very simple, go-kart-like driving dynamics coupled with high power, no downforce and wide powerbands. They're harder to drive than a newer slick-shod race car, but have more in common with modern and road cars.
>>15358675
Go on the ovg wiki page for rfactor and find the download for the "ultralite" version
This will include just one car and one track, which is good for additional mods as stacking too many will stop the game from launching
also it's been renowned for years
>>15358559
Lurker here. My favorite thing is Modern GT cars.
I only really play Forza and Dirt Rally so I don't have a huge frame of reference though.
I'd say I'm actually starting to get a handle on tuning, though. I will say that modern GT cars (at least in FM6) are more aero-dependent than they first appear.
>>15358705
Forgot to add, T10 needs to get off their asses and bring in more modern cars like pic related.
Half the game's GT cars are 5 years old at this point. The only new one is the Ford GT, which can and will mercilessly rape older cars.
Fuel simulation is terrible as well. I can't speak for tire simulation because you'll always run out of fuel before you run out of tire, and you don't have the option to skip swapping tires to make your pit stop take less time.
>>15358700
But like I didn't imply I didn't have it or have any problems
>>15358617
>impossible without handbrake
Wew
>>15358559
>Group C cars and modern LMPs
>pre aero F1 cars (like the Lotus 25)
>>15358795
he speaks the truth
unless you can tell/show us otherwise
How is Dirt Rally these days? In particular I'm interested in the track content. Not counting reverse and section variations, how much is there? Enough to be considered a full game now?
>>15358559
Lightweight ones like Lotus 2 Eleven/KTM X-BOW. I recently realized I also enjoy Lotus 49.
>>15358643
no

>>15358918
That is not a very subtle way to summon r2k guy
>>15358933
Its a srs question. I've been out of sim racing for a couple of years.
>>15358918
It's got some variation to it, I'll give it that. It's still not a tremendous amount of driving if you want to never see the same areas twice, but switching over to rallycross can change the game's pace a lot.
There's also both paved and unpaved Pike's Peak.
>>15358918
pirate the game and find out for yourself. it becomes hotlapping after a while, but it all depends on your needs.
>>15358930
>>15358549
I'm not really convinced by these physics. Everything feels very rigid in a bad way.
>>15358949
thanks. i've been playing rsrbr2016 atm, but it doesn't have a decent pikes peak so i'll give it a shot
>>15358958
thats the plan. i just was looking to see what others thought, as I currently have my hands full trying out AMS.
>>15358599
the drift series is complete garbage in the first place. shame because the premise was great
>>15358918
>Not counting reverse and section variations, how much is there?
two 10km stages per country, about 120-130km total length
>>15358949
>It's got some variation to it
no it doesn't
>>15359003
I said "some", not "a lot".
It could use more environments.
>>15358997
lol thanks for that pic. gives me much clearer picture than reading the official list of stages and trying to decipher what it really means
>tfw starting a new game
>this bangs out the speakers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCAuGMnvGaw
also i had no idea /o/ loved this series as much as i do. it was one of my all time favorites game series from high school through college. i can't believe it's been so long since tuner import challenge came out
>>15358983
Did you try messing with the setup options at all? Forza has always had babbymode stock setups that make the cars feel wrong
I really wish sims would have a "pure" hotlapping mode with:
1.Fixed conditions (track temp, wind...)
2.Fixed or very limited car setup options
3.No fuel consumption, no tire deg and fixed tire temps (mainly so you don't have to restart literally every other lap)
>Inb4 hurr durr git gud
I know you can beat 8/10 people with default setup, and 9/10 with basic tweaks. But to get that WR (on a popular car-track combo) there's a fucking wall of setup work you have to climb. I've done it, but it's not really fun or even "racing". 15 laps of trial and error staring at telemetry to see which air temperature gives you the best tradeoff between more power from colder air and tire heat retention.
>>15359018
"hardly any" is more adequate
not only each country has only two piss-short stages, they're also very monotonous all over
the game doesn't need more environments as much as more detail and variety in each environment
>>15351664
tokyo xtreme racer zero (originally titled shutoko battle zero in japan) for ps2. it's the best first entry into their games
>>15359074
>1.Fixed conditions (track temp, wind...)
>2.Fixed or very limited car setup options
>3.No fuel consumption, no tire deg and fixed tire temps (mainly so you don't have to restart literally every other lap)
Arcade games.
What you are describing are arcade games.
>>15356390
get the FUCK OUT
>>15354468
it isn't bad. it's better than the ps2 games in some ways, but also a bit more bland in someways. it's definitely worth trying, at the very least. the improved graphics are really nice. you'll have to expect a greatly reduced car list, though, unforunately
>>15359074
>15 laps of trial and error staring at telemetry to see which air temperature gives you the best tradeoff between more power from colder air and tire heat retention.
what do you think real racing and driving is like?
>>15359103
like The Crew
>>15353357
is that moon man on the back of the car? lol
>>15359103
In real racing you have an engineer to do all that shit
>>15358559
80s/90s/2000s japanese sports cars and their race-modified counterparts
>>15359122
Pretty much this. All a driver has to do is drive. They might not even have to comment a whole lot on how the car is because the engineers can just look at live telemetry.
>>15359074
I'm pretty sure every racing game with online leaderboards ever uses fixed track conditions in time trials.
