Fantastic, its online lol

Interesting video about EVO FFB.

After now playing EVO for two weeks every day and then switching back to AC1... well... he's probably right.

he is a weirdo^^ i think he just did not found the right ffb settings yet. the offical recommended are crap- at best. im on totally custom and it feels awesome.

ps:

ps:

Using the base setting they provided for my Moza wheel and it feels good 🤔

All is working fine with 1.5 but I have these comments on presentation:

If I start with a set number of credits, why bother showing me cars that I can't initially afford? For all practical purposes is the Honda S2000 is the starter car. My humble suggestion: Do as FH and offer a free pick between 3 starter cars.

As for the licenses, the presentation feels rough too. There should be an immediate onscreen indication of what score you got (instead of eyeballing the top left corner), a ghost and replay option, and a restart button instead of a continue prompt, which returns you quite abruptly to the starting line. In this case, see how GT does them.

I point this out because ACE does have the potential to put the GT/FM/FH franchises on notice and really challenge them on their turf (console). And it can be as easy or hardcore as you want, but presentation goes a long way. After all they are implementing console things: economy, car customization, licenses, curated events, jazzy music and a free roaming map!

Yeah, I agree - "stealing" the best bits from other games for your own is a good strategy. Just don't steal the FM23 UI. After 15 months, that is still abysmal.

The FM23 is so boring but is fully functional with either controller or M/KB. This ACE UI just works partially with a controller and is better navigated with M/KB, again, a no-no for a foray into the console space.

And for the life of me, is there a way to adjust the central mirrors? They are always offset of center!

Interesting video about EVO FFB.

After now playing EVO for two weeks every day and then switching back to AC1... well... he's probably right.

I got 6 minutes into this video and stopped watching. Dude has no idea how to explain anything without trying to make himself look like he's a pro race car driver. I get the impression that his house is filled with mirrors so he can constantly stare at himself and get arroused by the reflection... People stopped using the word NEWB in 2009....

iRacing has the best FFB. For the price, there's no excuse for it not to.
AC, ACC, AC-Evo, Forza, GT7 etc can all be tuned to have excellent FFB without having to use dampers. It just takes time and effort.

Fun thing is, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a driving licence, he certainly didn't around 3 years ago.

This is an AC EVO thread and not a GamerMuscle thread. Are you able to discuss and debate his point of view without personal attacks? I don't know the guy personally and don't support him via superchat or donations. However, I will defend his efforts to provide details* and facts* for his opinions. (* Is that why you think he's trying to make himself look like a pro racer?) This video compared AC EVO's FFB to AC1 (and AMS1 and AMS2's custom FFB "Rack"). We can discuss AC EVO versus AC1 as we're in the AC forum and subforum. I don't know the reason you brought iRacing into the discussion. And no details for your rationale that iRacing has the best FFB.

Fun thing is, I'm pretty sure he doesn't have a driving licence, he certainly didn't around 3 years ago.

But not relevant? I have a driving license, however I've never driven a race car on a track. Should I have more credibility than GamerMuscle just because I have a license? He may have a valid reason to not have a license. I have friends that live in big metropolitan cities that don't currently own cars and/or license.
