Is it just me or has the force feedback become weaker with 1.10? I used to run anything from 22 to 31, 31 feeling the best under v1.03 on the T300rs. Now I've had to slowly creep it up to 44% main feedback. Everything else 0.

Yet the force feedback feels the same as months ago under Project Cars.
Have also a T300 RS and the FFB stands at 44%
 
I might be way off with this, but I think Auto-Clutch is for people who have a stick-shift but only 2 pedals (or maybe don't want to have to use the clutch?) I only say that because you're right...You would think that it's going to cause issues for people like me who only have paddles and two pedals if I don't enable Auto-Clutch, but it doesn't.

In fact, I used to drive with both Auto-Clutch and Auto-Blip enabled, but I want to say that I was encountering problems with the Auto-Clutch enabled. So, I shut it off and never had a problem since. I mean no disrespect, but it could be poor wording. If I go into the Car Setup tab when I've loaded a car/track combo there is some English phrasing that could be written a bit clearer, in my opinion.

Maybe someone can jump in and correct me about the "Auto-Clutch" option.

Oh, I should add that if you do something that you're not supposed to do and look inside the data.acd file (this is the file with the guts of all the car's settings). There is a file called "drivetrain.ini". Here is the code from that file belonging to a typical mod car (a BMW E60 M5). Notice how it is set to use an Autoclutch even if it's set to off in your personal settings:

EDIT: Apologizes. I tried to make BOLD the pertinent lines to look at. I'm sure you can figure out which are the ones we're talking about. I guess the regular BOLD button doesn't work in the CODE box. Sorry.

Code:

Now this particular E60 BMW also comes with a "manual only" version. Here is the contents of its drivetrain.ini file. Notice how this one is not set to use autoclutch if you've set it to off. And this one with support the use of a stick-shift.:

What does all of this mean? I don't know, but it means something. :lol:

Oh...Just to fire you consoles guys up a little bit more... This is from an official Kunos vehicle:

Code:
[DOWNSHIFT_PROTECTION]
ACTIVE=1
DEBUG=0                ; adds a line in the log for every missed downshift
OVERREV=300        ; How many RPM over the limiter the car is allowed to go
LOCK_N=1

Yeah I knew the autoclutch only affected full manual cars, so that code makes sense. I'll try it out next time I play it, to see if I can shift without autoclutch. I have a three pedal set, so that will be easy enough to test.

About the DSP, interestingly, there's a line of code there that stipulates how far over the limiter the engine is allowed to rev before the DSP would interfere. Perhaps it's this line where there's an error on some cars, because in the cars with the problem, the revs go nowhere near the limiter on downshifts, which is unrealistic, as no real life DSP system does that.

Anyway, I'll probably not bother playing it 'till we get the red pack (just too busy leading up to Christmas, and haven't been playing any sims), so hopefully we've gotten some nice bug fixes by then :)
 
Did you put the Porsche in "hotlap mode" or in "racing hybrid mode"?

For the rest, yes i tink it's the Weissach edition, at least the skin :D

It was in hotlap mode and I was able to keep a bit of battery all the way around the lap so no time was lost from poor battery management.

Just done a 6:59.760 in the Ferrari LaFerrari so it's only the Porsche to go for getting the three beasts under 7 minutes. Was hoping it was the standard edition regarding the 918. I feel Marc Lieb is mocking me with his 6:57. And just to rub it in Lieb autocorrected to "alien"....
 
AC can look realistic in very specific situations — usually when you're absorbed in hotlapping and paying no mind to track surroundings — thanks to its realistic colour palette.

But on consoles, don't expect it to match up with FH3 in terms of eye-candy. One is a first-party game running at 30fps, the other is a third-party made on a fraction of the budget running at targeting 60fps.
 
Xmas has come early for Aussies:

I've been checking the PS Store every day since the huge reductions in price for other regions and today it finally paid off. Both AC the game($84.95>$30.95) and the season pass ($44.95>$17.95) have 63% and 60% off respectively.:eek:

Valid until 21/1/2017

Season pass is now installed :drool::D:D:D

Edit: Oh and Merry Xmas to all :):cheers:

I thought I'd quickly try out all the Porsches for a bit to get a quick feel of them and only got as far as the second car, the Carrera RSR, and stopped there. Damn, that's a fun car to drive!

And that noise WTF.
It's not up for debate. That Carrera RSR is my favorite vehicle from Porsche Pack 1. It really is a lot of fun. Occasionally I think, "oooh!! Why doesn't this thing have like 25 more HP?!" :D But, it's totally fine where its at power-wise. So much fun.

Yeah some extra power would be great but it's still good as it is. Had to tweak the roll bars a bit to get the rear in check and now I like it a lot. Great car.

However I just drove the Cayman GT4 round the Ring and woah, now that is how to do a stock setup! Going to have some great races in that one for sure. Unfortunately have to stop playing now :grumpy:
 
I feel raped now :(

If it helps you feel better, I'm approaching $100 spent on AC on the PC side (~$30 for the base game and ~$6-7 each for 9 DLC packs). At full retail price PC players could pay close to $70 USD for the base game plus DP1, DP2, DP3, and the Tripl3 Pack which console players got for, what, $50 at full retail price? You also get two extra packs with your Season Pass that PC players had to buy separately. Not to mention the ~$1,000 most of us spend on a PC just to play the game. So I'd say you got more of a gentle fondling than a raping. :D

Well with a good pc you can actually use it for what it's supposed to, work, video editing, photo manipulation etc etc ;)

Do you remember exactly what you did to the roll bars? Did you stiffen the rear? How much?

porn.
 
$10 is raped? If someone paid $150 4 months ago and you could get it for $20 right now...yeah, that would be a kick in the nuts. And I'm not acting like $10 doesn't matter - I'm in a terrible financial position right now...but 10 bucks for the 4 months you've had it. $2.50/month. At the most, a sex related misdemeanor. :rolleyes:

Maybe, but mine doesn't really get used for any of that because it's just for racing and it's not the most comfortable place to be for doing actual work. Was just putting into perspective that most PC players probably have ~twice as much invested to play AC as console players (and that's not including all the hardware toys like wheels, shifters, hand brakes, motion rigs, triple screens). So, don't feel so bad over $10, it could be a helluva lot worse! :D
