His lets plays are alright but i can stand him doing racing games. somethings changed his mind about project cars as well he hand no interest in it last year
One thing to keep in mind when watching that video. Empty Box is a top notch sim pilot he's far beyond the average or even above average player. So if he can find Alien AI that are challenging and on his pace, there's little doubt the rest of us Earthlings will be able to find something that suit our needs as well.Don't mind the "this is or this is not a sim" BS. Just watch the fight for P2 with the AI:
Also keep in mind that this is one of the AI's slower tracks.One thing to keep in mind when watching that video.

For anyone who listened to what he was saying and has played/plays the game, how accurate is he on the floaty feeling of some of the road cars?

A bit of a shame that he's says it's less realistic than several other games, although I hope it's just that he was using a less developed car
I think that just goes down into the realm of guys that take racing virtual cars in virtual tracks waaaay too seriously. I played some Project Cars (an ancient build, months ago) and iRacing in a friend rig and enjoyed both.
Is that from the WMD forums or do you have a link?Most people who play a lot of iracing seem to think that the sim means it's difficult to drive, which isn't true. So I would take his statement with a grain of salt.
Also, as we are on topic of physics, today one of the formula 2 champions, Luciano Bacheta, said this about formula A car:
"In my opinion the car is one of the best versions of simulated F1 I have driven outside of a factory F1 simulator, and with some small changes as detailed above it can be incredibly accurate. "

I totally agree about common knowledge. Some things are common knowledge and anyone who understands those basic physics can detect a problem. I was more referring to people who make claims about how a specific car does this or doesn't do that.Yes and no. There are mistaken perceptions that arise from other sims, like you say -- the idea that a sim isn't realistic unless it's "difficult", for example -- but you don't necessarily need hands-on experience to have a pretty accurate idea of how a given car should react to various inputs. If you can describe handling manners in concrete terms, there are objective "truths" to car control that can be debated, learned, or tested within a game. The key is to have an open mind about it.
For years, every sim has had flaws that are pretty easy to detect. We may, however, be approaching a point where all the top sims are close enough that it becomes more difficult to tell the difference without experience. I wouldn't know yet, as I haven't had a chance to try any of the latest crop -- AC, RF2, iRacing, GSC, or PCARS. Or even FM5, if that belongs in the list.
Some more AI racing. This time with the 360 controller, formula rookie.
Another video of AI race.
