Surprised Le Mans is so high up. It's got a lot of prestige, but it's a pretty boring track to drive.

I don't find the section from Indianapolis to Porsche curves boring at all, same for Dunlop Curve to Tertre Rouge

sure the long Mulsanne straights are boring, but remember this is a 24hr endurance track and is very good place to safely pass slower GT cars if you are in a LMP

I'm guessing a lot of people are thinking how great the actual event and race is rather than how good the track will be with the cars that are currently confirmed by Kunos.

And lunar proves me right... we don't have any LMPs so I don't really see the point. :indiff:

1. the track is not boring only the straights. there are some epic sections on this track; re-read my post
2. if the dev don't make some LMP cars in future updates, that would be a huge oversight

my 2 cents
 
Nordschliefe is my most wanted.

Bathurst is my clear second.

Then there were about five choices I felt strongly about. I ended up picking Monte Carlo simply because it would be incredibly unique to get a laser scanned version of that layout. Most of the other choices, while I did like them, have already been scanned or wouldn't be that difficult if somebody decided they wanted to.

Not so much the track but the event itself is what I'm most interested on, there is no version of this track in any of the modern big sims out there so AC will definitelly be ahead with the track.

Don't worry, Enduracers and many others are looking in and I'm sure already testing their mods in sim.

Oh! 599XX Evo incoming this Friday!!
 
I went for..
Bathust
Nordschleife
And for something a bit different...Magny-Cours ! I miss doing that track from the old F1 games, I really enjoyed the layout and no other game seems to have it.
 
Nordschleife
Brands Hatch
Paul Ricard.

Too many good tracks, not enough votes available.

Can't wait to take that Z4 GT3 around Monza! Friday can't come soon enough!
Off topic, I saw and heared booth Z4 and 458 road car version in real life. With Z4 I was not impressed. The thing is to make them race toghether Z4 has been higly tuned, 458 has been highly detuned. Race car looks cool and phat, road car really nothing special. End Ot.
 
Do you think FFB will be improved with future updates ? AC FFB is good, but compared to rFactor2's FFB it is just disappointing. I wonder if it is about FFB refresh rate because with a CSR Elite it doesn't feel smooth at all while it it rich, deep and perfectly smooth with rF2.

They added sliders in the option menu to turn up some of the effects. If your looking for the curbs or bumps to pull the wheel when hitting them I don't think your going to get it. As you shouldn't feel these in the steering wheel.

I do hope at some point though that they add weight to the wheel when not moving. Its kinda strange to have a limp wheel when at a stand still.
 
The Kunos vs iRacing/rF2 FFB argument, surprised it hadn't made its way here till now.
It all comes down to how real you want it to feel? If you want the ultimate in reality there's very little you'll feel on the wheel other than a heavy spring that gets lighter as you loose traction. If you want to feel bumps, road imperfections and other forces then you'll be stepping away from reality as many of those things you just don't feel trough the steering wheel in a real car.
iRacing and rF2 do an excellent job of transmiting all those inputs and forces in a realistic feeling way.
Kunos is on the right track to finding the perfect balance but where they really exel is comunicating what the tires are doing trough the steering wheel.
iRacing/rF2 do a great job of communicating what the whole car is doing with very rich detail.

Oh the anxiety!!!

The post is not about FFB realism, it is about the way the wheel feels geared in AC. You can feel that the motors are trying to keep the rim at a target angle, it feels sandy, like a 10-40Hz position update instead of 500Hz. AC transforms my CSR Elite in a G25 (hard to explain what hands can feel ;) ). I do not ask for artificial rumble or additionnal unrealistic FFB informations. I just want it to feel natural, like rF2 FFB. I am not in a troll post about the best simulation, I love AC, but I will be very happy not to feel the "clink clink clink" ffb update.

Dude, you can turn every single one of those updates off. It's in the options menu. Even one of the Kunos guys posted on twitter about not loving these things, but feeling obligated to put them in. You can turn them off, turn them down, or keep them. It's totally up to you.

I'll agree they're stupid and not appropriate, but I certainly don't mind they're an option for those who want it. Although they probably should have defaulted them to off when they did that update.

I will try it, I play with my old G25 on my professional computer and with the CSR Elite at home. It is not bad with both wheels, but I really love the way the CSR Elite feels real with rF2 (it feels like Cruden professional wheel, which cost ten time its price). AC CSR Elite smoothness (I do not speak about physic realism at all, just smoothness) is not better than GT5.
 
I'm glad we're getting the drag racing portion today. Because that means we can still hold out hope that the Christmas Eve surprise is AI.

EDIT: I take that back. I didn't realize it was an announcement. Hmm. Sounds like they snagged a high profile car license or track. I would be super excited for Porsche (don't even think that's possible) or Nordschleife.

Bets are in, its gonna be Nordschleife! :lol:
 
Oh God the Nordshleife would be a dream!!! Seems like iRacing is making some progress in that front too so it makes sense, definitely is on between the big 2!!

Go!
