Welp, time to take it to a technician and re-wire the connector shorter to the cable. I don't know why, the brake doesnt have any problems. I twas maybe because I put a load cell in it.

I ran some laps, then let it sit there the rest of the time because I wasn't sure if it would save my time if I exited. 30m is quite a bit of practice in one session, or at least it feels like that for me because I usually don't get any faster after 5-10 laps.

it's not a racing game per se (there are rally and police chase scenarios to try), but it's really fun just to tear ass around the maps and try to keep the car in one piece.

>not AC's fault
right.
>>13961314
>>13961292
It is the one Criterion made, Most Wanted 2012, but it is absolutely terrible to play, the handling is impossible
I played the Burnout games and they were nothing like this, it's like theres an input delay, a SEVERE one, and it doesnt matter how you use the controller, the car is just impossible to steer precisely
>>13961340
This happens in every single game where you play with brazilians in mud huts with 400 ping
Not to mention that AC's netcode is pretty good with the recent update

AC was chosen because that's what paul and everyone else wanted to do because paul had no experience with rfactor, even though most people told him to do it in rfactor because of netcode reasons
you shouldn't lie either

>>13961035
They're generally terrible competitive platforms not leastly because every PC sim flips the physics on their head every 3 months.
Also literally nobody gives a shit about watching video game car racing. It combines all the boredom of real racing with no risk, tradition, or spectacle. Plus "I could beat them if I just had a setup and a $5000 rig"
Just setup an AC drifto server to try out this Ebisu and to see if the lag magically being fixed is true

Yeah they wanted me to send them the G27 first. Not gonna happen with 3 races left in GT3.
Good to know the shifter works with the new ones.
>>13961587
I believe he is talking about street curbs.
Rf2 allows you to roll over them
AC will cause you to hit and bounce as you would in real life.
>>13961625
The coolest thing I've ever experienced in a game is still Grid 1's le-mans series at the end of the season.
being able to race in day to night cycle is one of the coolest fucking things ever, and if I could get a game that has the night lighting that Dirt Rally has I would be in heaven.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbgf8XKHRsU
>>13961587
Are you clinically retarded?
Visually, the kerbs in AC and RF2 are identical. However, in RF2 the drop between the kerb and the grass is removed and replaced with a smooth transitory surface, and the whole kerb is smoothened to be less impactful in general.
I also didn't make that diagram, I thought it was pretty easy to understand but apparently not everyone has the same mental capacity
>>13961641
Do you feel proud every time you post this? It's like watching a kid in elementary school shit himself with laughter every time he says "peanut xDDD" it's pathetic

Anyone interested in doing a retro Indycar series on FM6? New DLC came out and the 1990 Indy 500 winner is in the game now (Pic Related)...
>>13961142
/wgg/ is the planefag general.
>>13961687
I disagree. /ovg/ series are nothing but spectacle.
"tradition" is a buzzword.
There's no tradition in F1 other than it happens every year.
I guess you could say that the act of auto racing itself is a tradition, that racing sims carry on and bring to all people regardless of social standing or income.
Yeah there's no risk, but nobody likes seeing death on the track.
In a sim you get hit by flying cars and parts and it's funny and entertaining.
IRL you get hit in the helmet by a loose nosecone and fucking die.
No risk means drivers race harder and closer.
No risk means that a driver who rolls his car into the woods and blows up at the Nurburgring doesn't have to live the rest of his life with a disfigured face.
No risk means heroes never die.
No risk does not mean no fear.
>>13961783
I play with a wheel, but I have videos and stuff of me playing with controllers too.

Where's the proof from the game engine? That's all in how the track is modeled.
So many sim racing "truths" are based on absolute bullshit hearsay some retards spout on forums.
>>13961687
televised motorsport is boring because of limited coverage. You miss so much, and you miss even more if you're actually at the event and confined to the grandstands. In a sim you can do impossible shots and very rapid coverage of the entire field with a theoretically infinite number of movable cameras.
Properly televised simracing would also be interactive, with the audience being able to choose their own cameras and cars to follow while listening to rolling commentary.

For racecar, valrys and kira to wiser in my ear "bop, top ten, post legs" every morning.
>>13961890
Don't need a doc for a one off event, I don't think I can be bothered anyway cos its 3hard4me
I'll try and find another good drift track

You don't just turn up Sunday, check the thread to see if I post something

>/ovg/ series are nothing but spectacle.
Watching cheap physics engines flip out is not quite the same as hearing and feeling a race car pass by at 200mph.
>"tradition" is a buzzword.
No, tradition is accumulated momentum. Nobody grew up watching rFactor with their dad.
>No risk means heroes never die.
No risk means you're not a fucking hero.
>No risk means drivers race harder and closer.
No it means baddies driving harder and closer and endlessly crashing, the best real life drivers already race as hard and close as possible.

ok grandpa

oh man this is so much autism condensed in one post
I can smell that sweaty fedora from here

Sorry James, but Walk Racing is not a real racing team.
>>13961896
Will do. I assumed it would be during work, but the time posted is perfect for me.

Be able to pay my rent and finish work on my car.

I'm not james, don't compare me to fucking james, I hate that son of a bitch. If I saw him walking around on the street I'd stomp a mudhole in his ass, kick it dry, take a dirty yellow bubbly piss in it, and all he could do is look back at me with a yellow smile about it.
>>13961912
Risto isn't your hero?
>>13961687
That $5000 would be much better spent on a street stock or chump car.
>>13961968
Risto races IRL too. Go karts, but ones that are like a 991 turbo permanently stuck in 2nd gear and with twice the grip.
Nazareth is on the wiki if anyone wants to try it out. Its by Virtua_LM and it is really good. The version on the wiki has the updated realroad shader that all recent ISI tracks use. It needs more work to make full use of it, aestethics-wise, but it is race-ready

>Watching cheap physics engines flip out is not quite the same as hearing and feeling a race car pass by at 200mph.
Watching a race is not the same as driving in it, simulator or IRL. The human understanding and replication of automotive physics gets better and better as time goes on.
>Nobody grew up watching rFactor with their dad.
Speak for yourself. I grew up watching my dad stomp shitters online in Nascar Racing 1.
>No risk means you're not a fucking hero.
There is risk of failure, just not risk of death. A hero does not just "survive the race". To me, a racing hero is one who consistently exceeds the expectations of a driver, either by skill or personality. People like Risto, Larguu, and Aspirations are incredibly skilled racers, but they're also top-notch human beings.
>No it means baddies driving harder and closer and endlessly crashing, the best real life drivers already race as hard and close as possible.
That's why we do this. To get on that level. To get gud.

>>13961775
That's because Assetto Corsa *only* lets drives on raw polygons (which is always wrong and you can forget about proper ovals), while also having physics instability issues making the car explode on kerbs.
In rFactor 2 you can control the track and kerb smoothing with HATFilterMaxOffset, another essential feature missing from Assetto Corsa.
>>13962048
Wasn't that bumpy as shit?
>>13962074
That was probably me being an idiot trying to "upgrade" the track. In any case, the track on the wiki drives great
>>13962064
>polygons
it's almost like real life is made out of shapes and bumps, and not magical force fields like RF2
>>13962090
SJ go back to your general
>>13962064
iirc AC has a physics mesh that the cars actually drive on and a track mesh that you see.
If you try the ksRing in RF2, you're driving on the visual because it wasn't converted properly, and thus it's more polygon-y and less smooth than in AC.
>>13962064
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Refrain from posting.
>>13962051
>I grew up watching my dad stomp shitters online in Nascar Racing 1.
Can you figure out the difference between watching your dad do something and watch something?
>People like Risto, Larguu, and Aspirations are incredibly skilled racers, but they're also top-notch human beings.
Mumblr pls.
>>13961687
>no one gives a shit about watching video game car racing
ok explain to me why youtubers like theslaptrain1,black panthaa, expty box, inside sim racing, digiprost and tons of others can get thousands of views? clearly no one cares
>it combines the boredom of real racing
someone clearly hasn't fucking tried racing IRL
>no risk
trust me, i do both racing in real life and pretend race cars and i find them both just as exciting. I get just as nervous when i start the race in real life as when i start the races every Saturday
>or spectacle
battles between drivers can be just as good in real life than in pretend race cars, if not more
>Plus "I could beat them if i just had a setup and a $5000 rig"
you get that in real racing too, the usual "i could beat him if i had a setup and a £3000 chassis"
>>13962117
Watching races IRL is kinda boring though.
I went and saw a NASCAR race and I was entertained and would go back, but after an hour or two you can't help but remember you're just watching cars go in circles while wearing earplugs so you can't talk to your friends.
>>13962090
No real life kerb, track surface or anything is made of infinitely sharp edges.
This is simulation development 101. This is also why Assetto Corsa's physics can't be taken seriously.
>>13962117
There are more people watching Black Ops III on Twitch right now than will ever watch Empty Box's videos. Which is irrelevant because while LPers might get thousands of views for muh e-celeb bullshit, actual leagues get dozens.
>someone clearly hasn't fucking tried racing IRL
How does this relate to watching it exactly
>you get that in real racing too, the usual "i could beat him if i had a setup and a £3000 chassis"
Yeah and nobody watches club racing either.
>>13962051
>Risto, Larguu, and Aspirations
If I was Larguu or Aspirations I'd be pretty pleased at being mentioned in the same breath as The Risto himself
>>13962138
>real life isn't made of infinitely sharp edges
No, but you are also an idiot. And have no idea what you are talking about.
>>13962105
And even a high poly physical track mesh alone isn't high enough for accurate physics, without some smoothing.
Btw rF1 and rF2 can do the separate physics mesh thing too.
>>13962148
>larguu
>skilled
>>13962048
Ngoywa/Ranek bbkeks pls get this track in the server. We need a short oval
>>13962175
I was just quoting Kita's post
>>13962064
Ah this is why all Assetto Corsa tracks, especially modded tracks look and feel like driving on cardboard. It's a flawed platform.
>>13962105
I think the fact that people playing the RF2 conversion of the Kunos burgerking were gloating about how glorious it was, not even realizing they were driving on low-poly visual mesh, tells me all I need to know about RF2's driving physics
>>13962135
>NASCAR
there's your problem
>>13962143
because games such as black ops have more sales anyway, not everyone is interested in hardcore sims but when you have millions of 12 year olds on a game, of course streams are gonna get more views, like the football v motorsport argument.
>how does this relate to watching it exactly
you appreaciate what's going on better when you've experienced it yourself, just like watching divegrass, you appreciate the skill when someone takes a shot because you've tried it yourself.
>Yeah and nobody watches club racing either.
because they're not televised?
>>13962193
this is bait, I have both RF2 and AC and IMO AC's physics are much more polished and realistic
>>13962197
These days many local tracks stream to a worldwide audience of fucking nobody
>>13962191
still
>larguu
>skilled
>>13962194
It tells me all I need to know about fanboys of pretend racing games
This AC vs rF2 shit is the /ovg/ version of Corvette vs GT-R. Just stop already
>>13962209
>that feel when both games are unfinished and flawed but rF2 is the new shiny toy so people haven't been burnt out on it yet
>>13962193
Yeah, even in the official tracks, if you compare the same iRacing to AC tracks, you can clearly feel the stair step effect on elevation changes.
>>13962209
this, I like parts of both. only babies argue and justify why "their" sim is better
ovg doesn't care, we just play what's fun with friends
>>13962233

Tell it to James.
>>13962114
>Can you figure out the difference between watching your dad do something and watch something?
There isn't a difference. Both are fun. I take it none of your parental figures have been into simracing, so what do you know?
Simracing has only existed in its current form for roughly 20 years, after the Internet actually made global network racing possible.
Auto racing itself has been around for over a hundred years, longer than any of us have lived.
To say there is no tradition in simracing is ridiculous. We are making tradition right here.
>>13962261
Ignoring the fact that he's a hypocrite, James makes a good point on PRC that sim racers would rather spend time arguing about why their favorite game is better than someone else's favorite game instead of just playing the damn games. In fact he's written like 5 articles on it because he's run out of new shit to write.
