Online rooms with correct tire specs and real (sim) settings???

[govna420]

I'm having trouble finding rooms with sim settings and tires. Seems that if I find one with proper sim settings it has unlimited tires specs and vice-versa. Would love to have an N400 etc. with sports hard tires or gr.4 room with racing hards. Having racing softs on every type of vehicle really loses the apeal of the whole sim racing idea.

I also wonder why so few rooms don't use sim settings. Real tire wear, fuel consumption, slipstream, grip reduction, no boost, etc., as that is why I thought so many played the game? Damage doesn't have to be heavy but I enjoy when its there, even if in the light setting.

I have created rooms labled - Sim settings with OEM tires - but rarely get one than one or two to join. The days of good ole shuffle racing, I'm afraid are a thing of the past.

Anyone else feel this way?

I agree somewhat however i do feel sports tires have even less grip this year then GT6 I turn all my cars into Race cars so therefore they always have RH and nothing more, however if i was hosting a racing league and specs dictate SH SM SS, then i will follow that.

The best thing to do is to leave tires upen and just put on all the other settings you will soon find drivers dropping out due to bad tuning and tire wear.

Most people racing online just want to have fun. This means different things for different people. Sliding around on SH tires isn't fun for a lot of people.
The problem is that mounting RSS tires costs nothing and makes your car way faster. Maybe if people were racing in real life they would have to consider the cost of racing tires. As others have stated, you might enjoy this more if you add more laps to your hosted events and put on some tire wear... those with RS/RSS tires will have to pit more often. Personally, I don't enjoy using sports tires (the Racing tires are slippery enough already), but I will admit the sports tires test the driver's skill -- this certainly has its place, but not among casual gamers.
