What makes this even funnier is there are racing drivers who can disprove the "Difficult = Realistic" mindset, likewise there's this rediculous belief having rediculous amounts of Forcefeed back is somehow realistic when it isn't (unless you want to know what driving without power steering feels like). But of course we can't destroy the ego of people who NEED a reason to justify nearly putting themselves indebt for that "Realism" they use as an excuse to put people down as demonstrated by this guy.
Again, this bizarre, bizarre stuff. I don't understand why you're lashing out at "realism". How many videos have I watched of GT3 drivers saying iracing nails it? Why do you hate people having much more fun and indepth gear than a playstation controller? Why does that threaten you lol?
Look, this game is being flooded with gifs of horrifically terrible examples of the physics being turned off.
You guys dislike realism in your games. So just play the arcade mode? Just turn on all the driver aids and turn off damage and put the slider on easy. There's no need to come on here and be mad that people want a little more from their games - it's 2024, thee is no excuse for f1 cars to be jumping each other and laughing at curbs.
It's so terrible that you're mad that people aren't going along with their 80 dollar roster update. Like, you guys are the reason EA's shareholders are literally ruining the games industry. You're apologists for maximising profits with a roster update and little effort into the game's underpinnings. If F1 2024 appeases you, then you're lost.
Yes, alot of the cars I race on iracing don't have power steering. But just because the wheel's motor can generate alot of torque, it doesn't mean it's trying to fight me with it lol. It's just to have it on tap for when it's needed, because it turns out when cars with the aerodynamics of an upside down fighter jet get are cornering under acceleration, the steering might get heavier than a playstation thumbstick. Shocking stuff.
PS the biggest mark of stupidity in my opinion is not understanding your own lacking. I am a mediocre man with little talent in any field, but at least I don't insult people by assuming I'm just really good at their dangerous and skilled occupations (like racing) and that it's much easier than people think, you can totally just hold down the gas off the line, you don't need to have great braking and throttle control to put in good lap times, the 20 f1 drivers totally aren't the extremely distilled, elite of the elite of the entire open wheel racing system, from karting to f2/super formula. It's totally easy and effortless to say, drive a 90's indycar, only a nerdy simracer trying to justify his hobby would think otherwise!
edit:: PS one more time, please allow me to reiterate that I didn't spend 500 on pedals, 300 on a frame, 40 on a leather carseat from the local autowrecker, and 1500 on a wheelbase to look cool to my dogs. I bought it because on a whim I bought a logitech g29 to throw on my desk, used it for a few months, was impressed, had fun, and used my intense deduction abilities to deduce that a less noisy wheel with much better FFB would be even more fun.
And it was. It's so fun. This is the coolest toy I've ever owned. I look forward to racing every day. It's unbelievable fun. If those racecar drivers are correct, and I don't see any reason to call them liars, then I am to an extent getting the experience of driving a racecar, at any track in the world, at any time, in any of the popular racing disciplines. I mean in VR, even checking the rearview mirrors is IRL, it really blows me away when I'm checking my mirrors and I move my head, and the perspective moves exactly like IRL. IDK why, but that gets me everytime lol. I can't believe we can do this. It's so, so fun. It's so satisfying to put in quick laptimes in a competitive, serious sim. I don't know why that threatens people. It's just pure fun
DOUBLE EDIT: The real point of DD wheels is the quality of the FFB compared to the belt driven ones. It's night and day. And the belt ones are so noisy and clunky feeling.
