Just get an xbox and forza m8. Its way better than any PC game at that sort of thing. The PC racing games are either half finished like AC and PCars or hardcore simulator dadgames for people autistic enough to practice all week and make car setups then do an hour and a half long race. Which describes most people itt including myself but probably not what you're looking for.

>Just get an xbox and forza m8
can't get any more wrong than that

A praystation and gran autismo then. Take your pick, either is way better than project cars.

do a sikk willy

That's the entire point of the primitive 80's turbo missiles.

The engine is great the fuck are you talking about
>No power
It pulls like crazy above 4k. Unless you're shit at managing engine RPM there's no reason you should be slow with it. The turbo isn't even that laggy.
>b-b-but the handling is too touchy
No fuck you. Learn to countersteer.

i didnt make a car, can i use one of them? which ones are the ones i can use

Sadly all these cars are being driven, and we only have 12 spots in the track. Maybe the R33 or the delorean might not race, but if we dont have any spots, I can let you drive my RS4.

/ovglfs/ when?

>no rx-7 in the car pack

Nobody wanted to drive it, and like I said, we are out of spots to begin with

If there's no spots left thats' fair enough. It's my own fault for being so indecicive

When pic related happens

The xj220 is also free

New and improved lap time with hard tires. Yes she can do it lads

Is TDU1 worth playing? I heard 2 is a steaming pile of shit, but I've been hearing good things about 1.

you need to lengthen the gears a bit because you're topping out too early
also turn off tyre sounds for gods sake
but the lap looks really good, getting the right line and shit, you've improved a lot since ovgt3 nigga

TDU 1 was simply amazing
>crusing around Hawaii in a Chrysler ME412
>or a Maserati MC12
>or a Shelby GR-1
>or one of the MV Agustas
Good times

Sadly my disc is broken so I can't install it anymore but some user a few threads back talked about a mod which revives the MP. That would definitley be worth checking out if you haven't played TDU yet.

How are the physics, and does it have randomly generated missions/races?

It's been so many years since I last played it (and that was only with the keyboard at that) but from what I remember, the physics were fairly arcadey but had some more realistic parts to them, so it wasn't completely dumbed down

The races aren't randomly generated, but there are a shitton of events and most of them are pretty long. Then, you could also duel random people driving around by flashing your lights at them and then putting a finish line anywhere on the map to do a sprint race against that driver (atleast in SP, but I guess it works the same way in MP). But the most fun was had by just cruising around the huge open world

/ovgtoogay/ when lads

thanks bro, i'll try it out

Yeah, I heard the terrible physics of 2 was a response to people complaining about 1 being too difficult with a controller, so it should be fine since they included some semblance of wheel support.

I see, it was just a quick set up I wanted to get to testing right away. lol does everyone turn it off? It is pretty annoying on replies but desu I don't even hear it when driving since I'm not focused on that. Thanks user, I'd like to think I have. A few changes here and there and I feel she can get a 1:45. So I think I can be safe in saying the SLS is in the same league it just might take more time to get her set up

>turn off tire sounds
i hope you only mean for the replay

>he has tyre sounds on
theyre annoying as fuck

how are you going to hear what your tires are doing? itd be horrible to do it in something like rf2, unless you like to replace your wheel every week.

I don't remember if you were here yesterday but the GT3 series is sadly dead. So if that's the reason you're trying to make the SLS fast, please stop before you're wasting your time even more

Where is the official statement by the organizer? And for what reason? I'll do what I want, it's good practice either way

There is no organizer

REMINDER THAT THE RACE IS AT 19:30, ONE AND A HALF HOURS EARLIER.

Hope to see you there.

Honestly, this describes my experiences with TDU1 pretty much spot on.

This so much.

>Buying the 250 GTO
>Feeling like a rich fuck.

TDU2 was a complete and utter shitshow.
The main thing was the online. Eden went from a very well done online set up to a horrific shit that basically didn't work.

Bro, if you want me to, I'll try to rip my disc, zip it up and mediafire it for you. I can also try to find and include the Megapack files (But not my code)

>how are you going to hear what your tires are doing
when will this fucking meme die
i do racing irl and you literally dont benefit to anything by "hearing the tyre".
What do you expect to gain from hearing the tyres? "Oh nice, my tyres are turning!"

It was like 3 or 4 threads ago. Paul resigned as organizer right after the race on the Nürburgring (1 week ago)

tomthy said it is in fact not dead!

Also tfw carving the mountains in a GT350.

That's technically impossible. If it's dead why is the doc still up lets just nuke it already.
Why did he step down?
That be cool if he picks up the spot of running the series.

19:30 means it's in 1 hour and 10 minutes btw.

Allegedly Von said he'd take over but he was busy this week

This seems to be the best torrent out there. Has all DLC, nothing ripped except for languages that are not RUS and ENG.

Also in the broken english description:

>The game was added increased realism mode that allows to get the ultimate thrill of driving at high speeds. Improved support for steering enables each virtual drivers feel the what it is - to manage the fireballs, which is about to become unmanageable. New, higher resolution graphics designed for the owners of widescreen monitors, enabling you to see gorgeous race cars in all their glory.

Apparently the devs increased handling realism and added hd textures in the final release. I just finished the torrent and ran it through AV. Installing it right now as I post this.

>512 TR

hnnng

You bastard.

I'm in the middle of ripping the disc. 10 mins left on it.

If is fine with it, I'll stop my rip.

Oh, my rip just finished.

Post it anyway

Any /ovg/-approved headphones/headsets?

I want something that makes me think I'm 'in' the car, that way when I finally afford a VR headset (and it isn't shit), I can strap that to my head and drown-out the rest of the world.

german cuisine

It will be a 3.5GB download all in.

It's the raw files from the disc, not the extracted, installed ones.

And now I realize I forgot to add in the megapack files.

just get a set of Sennheiser 202 HDs

If you want a good headphones you don't need to consider any gamer/car/v/ovg gimmick. No 7.1 shit, no gamer shit, no sim racing shit or whatever.

>strap that to my head and drown-out the rest of the world
You want closed cans. The Sony MDR-7506 are a good pair headphones widely used in music monitoring. They are also affordable ($100)

Other not-worthy closed headphones in no particular order
AKG K550
Sony MDR-7520
Soundmagic HP150

Sennheiser hd280
>it's like actually wearing a full face helmet

How the fuck does a mini cooper 1.3i keep up with a fucking 500 Hp tvr in this cunting game

ATH-M50(x)

so good that even dr dre uses them for music production instead of his own beats shit

Okay, no dice.

It's a 3 hour upload.

Close but not quite.
Here have a vid.
youtube.com/watch?v=X1m9uH5eBcQ

most of the FWD cars in the game are broken as shit.

these are probably best for the price point. I have the M50s now for 4 years and they are great, I will have to replace the ear pads in a few years though as they are starting to crack (not bad for every day use though)

however, these are soon becoming meme reddit headphones so beware..

>tfw we'll never have ovgtp s2

i changed the pads on mine to beyerdynamic velour ones. the stock ones are just too hot and uncomfy for me.

>however, these are soon becoming meme reddit headphones so beware.
like i care

just wanted it to be known

my brother saw them and asked if those were the 'reddit headphones'

>Tiffany
Based as fuck

>MDR-7506
>pic related
That's actually what I'm replacing, my father said they were the 'standard' years ago, figured something else better would've phased-in by now, but around that price I could just live with a new set I suppose.

The Hot Version races just finished. It was really fun, but it could've been more fun if my car wasn't the mistake it was(see webm). Whatever, I brought that on myself which sadly meant I didn't see much of the action of the races. So here's the replays of both races, so you can make webms yourselves
dropbox.com/s/nabiik0df7s1nfq/Hot Version C1 Replays.7z?dl=0

Proper speakers. Nothing better than your desk vibrating slighlty from car engine sound.

What is your price point? Brainwavz HM5 or similar XPT100 are seriously "studio quality" while also being comfortable as fuck and relatively cheap, but if you're talking about something like $50, it won't do.

Congratulations to Gent for winning both races, and Marko for winning the cheekiest overtake of the week award(His place has been revoked to his position before that turn).
And with that, Hot Version is a wrap. Thanks for everyone who participated and all those who helped in various ways along the way. I couldn't do it without.

Special thanks to:
Paul, Ranek and Starking for server hosting/server fixing
Pansyfaust for car tuning
Kunos for sorta fixing the netcode halfway in
And to all the drivers, who hopefully had fun racing in that series.

Hope to see you again in the future, if I make another league.

They are hard to beat. I'm usng a set of pioneer pro dj headphones and they still dont sound as good as the sonys they replaced :(

Honestly my proudest /ovg/ moment

wow marko great job keep it up
