Cool seat. Looks like professionally build racing setup. Did you do it by your self 👍 or buy it?

I did mine by myself. Always wanted to have racing setup but never trust those made by big companies. I was afraid that it won't fit me. So i decided to make it. Looks amateur but works fantastic. I did all measures and then weld it together.

Hmm... maybe this is where the difference lies! I just built something out of an old (lavender coloured!) chair and a piece of a shelve I had lying around. I use it while sitting on my bed or sofa, not a fancy schmancy Recaro! Thats the good thing: Its far more portable than your rig!

Hi all, yes i made set-up myself just out of bits in the garage and got the seat of ebay 👍

 

[grahamw56]

Wish we could have sound like this on Shift...and the car.

.

 

[ussr]

Heh, forget about share sound. I wish we could use Agera on ps3 and then the game won't stop in the middle of our play

That.Car.Is.Fast.

Even after 300km/h it keeps going...

 

[grahamw56]

Details of it are on the pistonheads.com site. It may have broken some records.

Impressive as ever Steve. Beautifully neat corners. 👍

I sooo wish I had manual gears on my wheel.

 

[STEVE182rs]

Thanks graham, you wana treat yourself to a new wheel mate

 

[grahamw56]

Yep, new wheel needed, but will try and fix the cheap and nasty paddle sometime.

First though my boy's 18th on the 26th, so a set of REAL wheels for him....insurance I don't even want to think about.

Shanghai has turned into another 'wall-riding' track.

 

[ussr]

That's just idiotic.

Here's a little video I made yesterday of a Renault Mégane RS at Nürburgring Sprint. Don't mind my less-than-perfect driving style (and please close your eyes at the first part of the chicane ) Watch at 720p for best quality.

Hey, at least on french cars the wobbly rear mirrors are authentic!

And thanks: didn't notice it at first, but can no longer stop watching it now.

Another flic I made at Rouen Short in the Porsche 911 GT3 RSR:

[STEVE182rs]

Great vid mate, love the sound of the RSR 👍

 

[STEVE182rs]

SHIFT 1 RUN at the old 10 rate, and i must say it felt so good the FFB is so much stronger than SHIFT 2. lap 2 i hit a 146.592 1sec off my old pace really

 

[grahamw56]

Another driving lesson.

Love that track. 👍

 

[FLX1981]

Mee too, one of my favs in Shift 2! Has such a nice flow to it and some fabolous curves.

Nice vid also @NLxAROSA, nice infights - though some of those I wouldnt have survived without spinning or gettin stickied! I wonder if there is something in collisions that I m missing..?

 

[NLxAROSA]

I wonder if there is something in collisions that I m missing..?

There are differences between the PC and PS3 versions, so that may very well be possible. I use the following settings: Elite handling model, no assists except ABS set to 'low'. Also, it took me 'a few' takes to get a movie without crashes or spins. I did rub a bit of paint with some cars in this particular movie, but no serious contact was made (as opposed to previous attempts, which sent both cars spinning out).

 

[FLX1981]

Was that last vid on PC or PS3? And dare I ask what program you use for your video recording?

 

[NLxAROSA]

All my videos are recorded on PC. I use FRAPS for recording, full-size (1280x720), 30FPS. Results in roughly 1GB/minute.

I also own a Hauppauge HD-PVR, which I use to record videos from the PS3.

 

[FLX1981]

Cool, thanks! 👍

 

[FLX1981]

BTW: Didnt want to start a new thread on it but at Leno's Garage there is the most in detail video to date of the Pagani Huayra. And oh my frrrrknnnn gawwd this thing is monumental! Or just mental, I still dunno.

I really didnt like the look of the front at first and used to find the interior tacky but that thing really starts to look like the next level of hypercars. Gonna go test it in S2U again right now!

Update: And its bad. They totally missed the point. Sound, feel, handling - all way off and not a good representation.

Maybe its me, but the trajectory of the nose of the car in the video above, as well as the nurburgring video on page 1 basically show the car drifting around every corner. i suppose it gives a better view of the apex, but the nose of the car is pointed way too deep for it to be realistic. It does not match any real hood cam videos of race cars going around tracks.
