I bought the standard version for $7.99 on PSN, then later realized I could've bought the Ultimate for a few bucks more. Sigh... I am enjoying it though!

Have you guys heard of solar panels? Funny thing is that when the sun shines (a lot) and it gets hot you can pretty well run your aircon for free.
Also a tip is to run the aircon during the day *before* it gets hot so your abode does not get any real heat sink. Well it works for me anyway ;-)

If you have been playing on a PS4 with a controller. How is it? I found Assetto Corsa miserable with a controller, but have read promising impressions of ACC.
Thank you
Thank you

Fantastic! Hard to go back to play pCARS2 or GTS honestly. It handles so damn well.
Love it!
Like AC, needs a bit of dialing in, but once you find what works for you, it feels great.
People have shared settings and are willing to help.

Bugger! Here's me thinking apartment living would be cheaper :-( I can't believe Slowgrayaudi's energy costs and I thought I was being ripped off where I am.
Solar is something I take for granted now. Where I live in Western Australia over 30% of households have their own solar systems now and the government buys our excess power back at 1/3 of what we pay.
I am actually producing all the power I consume BUT because the sun doesn't shine at nighttime (Duh!!!) I get ripped off by buying my own power back again >:-( Basically it is use it or lose it. So no probs here cranking the aircons on early :-)
Before anyone suggests batteries, yes, I have looked into it but at this stage there is still zero return on investment. With this Covid19 thing businesses are struggling and there is some downward pressure on pricing so I am currently re-evaluating it. Of course, one of the major benefits is that I would be protected against black outs and any consequent electronic damage to equipment. Who hasn't lost a whole nights gaming with a corrupt game save file when the power has flickered or gone out?
Trivia time. My 5kw solar array actually produces 2watts on a full moon at night :-)
Anyway we are a bit off subject now.

Worth noting for anyone taking a grant for solar panels and you own your own home, when you want to move and sell your home you have to convince the new buyers to take in the solar panel contract. My mate found this out the hard way. He couldn't sell his house as no one was willing to take on the solar contract. This is in England.
If you still have AC try my settings, they're pretty decent. Then when you've tried know that ACC is much better with the pad.

I will take your word for it!! I tried so many settings on AC; that I have no interest in reinstalling.
Will take a chance on ACC PS4 and hopefully no regrets.
I will first give default a shot and hopefully it clicks for me. I do like the vehicle focus and the laser scanned tracks are legit.

Oh, yes... it's been 30-33* here every day for the last 2 months, with the odd 2-3 day periods at close to 40*... far too hot for me to do anything more than short sessions. It's not like it gets much cooler at night either
At least it's cooler here in southeast UK... pah. Been 35C+ every day since Friday!
All ending with a big bang tonight! Which means I can get back to *important things this weekend...
*important things = gaming obviously
On topic: it's good to read people saying that the controller settings are improved between AC and ACC. I have a T150 now, but remember trying AC before then and struggling, especially on braking as there seemed to be no sensation of control under braking.

Well,AC was playable on controller,but it's clear that this little SIM is focused to wheels
ACC is quite more controller friendly, tried out the first day for an hour or so..
Then I went back to my ol' trusty T150Pro
Only game that I play more on a controller is GTS...I don't like FFB of that game and the little to none FF settings it offers
PD.
Yesss.... electricity here in Spain isn't cheap at all, I'm also on an apartment,but I use air conditioning in the hottest hours.
I quite don't understand also why Spanish government don't invest in solar energy or wind energy, the country has huge potential for both alternatives ...

I've noticed marshalls waving flags for no apparent reason at some tracks. I ran Bathurst the other night and I was in the lead but the marshalls were waving white flags from The Cutting all the way over Skyline. There were no slow cars on track anywhere to be seen.

It is actually a good feeling knowing that i am "saving the planet" and at the same time saving money.
My first PS3 and 50" Pioneer plasma TV would consume between 1350 and 1550 watts depending on what was being displayed!!! Who needed a room heater with all that running? :-))

I'm glad to hear Spain are not using wind energy, shows they're less corrupt than other nation. Wind Turbines are not good and only get the nod because of dirty handshakes. Scotlands horizon is littered with them, You'd expect the whole country to be running on free electricity in return of ruining nature.Well,AC was playable on controller,but it's clear that this little SIM is focused to wheels

I would suggest to wait and buy it in the sale so you can buy the DLC too which was free during the first two weeks of launch.

I play on a PS4 Pro, supersampling on, and Boost on. Too me it feels like 60fps driving solo on tracks and the same driving with 11 other vehicles.
I also drive on the cockpit cam or bonnet depending on the number of curves approaching.

I forgot I bought this game when it came out on Steam ages ago I just tried it on PC and there's no way I can ever go back to the PS4. As great as the game is on PS4 it doesn't hold a candle to the PC version. I'm sure it will one day, but for now I can't.

It received v.1.01 at launch (changing game core version from 1.2.2 to 1.3.7 and add intercontinental DLC,what was free for preorders)
Then the 1.02 hotfix fixing cars livery editor
And last in middle-end of July the 1.03 with performance improvements,new FFB settings to suit console feeling and ability to pay for dedicated private servers (trough external servers hosts websites)
Still good Amount to bugs and issues to fix..like headlights beam issue, some wheel compatibility, save file that get corrupt in championship mode, having more than 150 friends on PSN make crash the game in multiplayer.
That are the "big ones" ...then you have minor issues and bugs like trophies that don't unlock, lap counter bugged, AI in some starts need tweaking ,etc,etc.
Performance on PS4 Pro is really nice now in 4K or supersampling in 1080p (if you don't have a T500 wheel) getting around 50-60fps (in normal 1080p with better graphics details it's as standard PS4 performance )
On standard PS4 it goes from 30-45fps
Great SIM that needs some work done, now in September there will be 1 or 2 updates bringing the GT4 DLC and game core version moving forward from 1.3.7 to 1.5.x (and hopefully bringing some bug and issues fixes)
