Holy shit am I bad at racing sims. The wheel didn't help at all. How do I get gud?
>>318177353
In in the same boat op. Some of us are destined to suck shit. I'm only half decent at casual shit like Mario kart.

Watch a driving academy series like this one:

What should I practice with first?
>shitboxes
>good cars
>supercars
>racing cars
Assetto doesn't have a lot but there are quite few mods out.

>How do I get gud?
It's easy. You take a car and a circuit. And you practice time trial. You made a record, you beat your ghost, you beat your new ghost... you beat your new ghost... you beat your new ghost... you beat your new ghost.
>>318177353
it took me a while to get gud as well OP..
they're really kind of abstract in the sense that it's not always obvious what you need to do... and then you keep discovering new ways to maneuver your car and what not.

the real fun is in the simcade games though desu OP...
DiRT Rally is GOTY easily.,

NCG Wreckfest is pretty great as well but development can be slow

>Thinking wheels make you better at racing games
lol you fucking idiot. Racing games, especially sims, are considerably more difficult using a wheel. Also, you'd benefit from using the front or hood cam.

I picked up AC first since it was a fair but cheaper than DiRT. I'll give it a look if it turns out I like realistic race games.
>>318180268
Does AC have a ghost feature? Not seeing it.
Also, do I require clutch/H-shift to drift or will sequential work fine? Pic in OP is a Driving Force GT I got for 40 bucks.

That looks fun. Is it popular?

it's got a decent online population.
I've been able to get 200+ hours in multiplayer over the last 9 months since I've owned it.
Learn the courses, especially the breaking points.
The rest comes on its own...or not.

Does this only have 1 car in it?
>>318184401
nah, that car was just popular during that build.
both that webm and this one are from build #6. the game is on build #8 now and it drives a bit differently.
there's 7 cars + 1 lawn mower in the game now now.

Serious question, I've put maybe 15-20 hours into this game and I'm not terrible but I'm not getting better. Any tips? I love this game and old school rally racing but I get so frustrated after 1-2 races because I can't figure out how to get better. I usually place like 2nd or 3rd but I've only gotten first a handful of times.
>>318185308
honestly I'm not that great either but I've come to learn left-foot breaking is a necessity.
maybe give that a try if you haven't already.
>>318185556
Yeah, I don't have a wheel but I do use the regular brake a lot. I just feel like there's something I'm missing. Just bought the Audi Quattro Sport a few days ago and that's one of my favorite cars IRL. Might have to play a few races.
