just lacks a Project CARS post under it and people like you shitting on it for "not being a proper simulation game"

Too bad that I can't join today. Will this happen again soon?

I did not mean to upset you with .

If it takes off with a decent participation, then it will.

rFactor Pro satisfies racing teams and manufacturers

I've seen Initial D Extreme Stage posted here a few times so I was wondering if I could get some advice. I'm using the MR2 and I have been able to beat the initial racers twice except I can't beat Takumi on Akina even once. I'm perplexed as Takumi is 8 star difficulty but I can defeat the other 8 star drivers and I can even beat the 9 star Godfoot including rematches. Is it a car choice problem or is this scrub going to have to git gud.

Owait, the invitation was actually for 17th, only registration is for today. Means I have time.

Any hints on using a G23 properly? Going to connect it now.

Makes one wonder who the real autist is.

This game saves screencaps as 5760x3240 .PNG files. Each screenshot is almost 54MB.

ALT+P is the shortcut.

23? There is the 25, the 27 and the 29.

what game?

Shift 2

the ones who are just now reading what he wrote and responding from a crossthread

What are you implying

>Each screenshot is almost 54MB

BeamNG.drive

Extreme stage has some really bullshit rubberbanding.

I used a Sileighty, but i don't think car choice really matters. I beat him when the game was new, but IIRC you absolutly cannot even so much as touch a wall, and you have to use the gutters.

I just picked up Riff Racer. It's an Audiosurf clone with drifting and shit. It's pretty basic, but I'm having more fun than I did in Audiosurf.

I'm on Twitch as 0medo if anyone wants to peep this game.

Meant for

What now? Genki reformed in april granted, but their twitter interest campaign is failing miserably.

Every other racing game feels like a pile of shit to me now.

...

This is what having le silly wheels leads to. Beware, gs400goy

There's nothing more fun that watching 2 AI cars with random pathfinding look for each other for 10 minutes ending with a head-on crash.

Can you do webms?, would rather see BeamNG webms than Shift2 ones.

kita m8 how do I into races

Meant the G27. I'll join mumble at quarter to.

What's your steam?

steam name: hansli, nickname: MyPenIsHuge (my avatar is a huge pen).

If at first you don't succeed, try to make the car narrower.

half an hour until we gather up.

I get terrain.tdf mismatch on ae86 server what do

delete coreshaders.mas

what track do i need

I'll miss the first race, then I'll join asap.

...

do i also need to download cars or only tracks?

both

>tfw 2.2 seconds slower than the computer

take the terrain.tdf from the legends carpack, and put it in your locations folder

pastebin.com/65U3vhjU

>but he said cut

We're gonna go to qualify after a couple of guys enter the server too.

WAIT WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE RUNING RFACTOR WHAT WHEN

>mfw it's all in the pastebin

if only there was some info in the OP...

it's ok, we're doing a bunch of races. It's not late.

I'm downloading everything, see if everything works then join

Copy and replace the terrain.tdf from the legends trackpack to the locations folder.

my.mixtape.moe/vddgek.7z

Also for everyone who just did a fresh install of rfactor, get this and install it in your rfactor folder. It has useful stuff like trackmap realfeel, fps fix etc.

Also when you upgrade your car, use the Group A engine.

whats the password

4ch

what are you talking about you gargantuan buffoon??

Just jacked this shit up.

What the actual fuck

okay /ovg/ I am well aware that not too many of you guys are terribly fond of PCARS but I think I might have topped the most retarded bug record.

>get the urge to play some PCARS just for the Ford GT

>game boots as normal, but changes my fucking wallpaper
>opens my wallpapers folder and tabs itself into the game home-screen
>???????????????

that's nice bullshit there m8

BeamNG is gud fun

>no one will ever make a game that really pays attention to dynamics of the environment
>it's always muh physics, but only car physics

and this is why we wont have a whiplash 2

m-maybe they will make another Kaido Battle game, r-right??

>things that will never ever happen

or a Rally Championship 2000 2

People seemed to enjoy 86s in ahvenisto, and I had fun battling it with tomthy and katsuo, so I guess we can do this next week too as an official ovg series I guess. 6 weeks should be enough.

Also dumping webms as I make them.

or a Need for Speed: Shift 2: 2

I shall have my ffb sorted by then, still tweaking the RealFeel plugin

...

...

using a keyboard was easier than a wheel

These cars are surprisingly fool proof...

Also accidently namefagging

But you're last here...

I'm new to racing sims but I find them pretty fun so I downloaded rFactor last night.
Why does everything feel like its physically not able to turn? I feel like I cant clear corners without crashing unless I slow down a lot.

>I feel like I cant clear corners without crashing unless I slow down a lot

Welcome to the real world

There were also some not so pretty moments too...

Welcome to sim racing. We hope you enjoy your stay.

>I feel like I cant clear corners without crashing unless I slow down a lot.
Uh yeah, that's how cars work. The brakes exist for a reason.

Seems that many people underestimate the timing, skill, and physical knowledge needed to drive a real race car. It is not "stomp on the gas and turn sometimes", nor can you expect a vehicle to proceed thru a 90-degree turn at 160 mph, but so many people I've personally introduced to rFactor or other sims make the same stupid mistakes, trying to play it like Need For Speed, often complaining when the car responds by understeering into a wall because they went to full lock under full braking.

Frankly it frightens me a little to know that there are people on this planet who don't take driving seriously enough to even know what understeer is or why it happens.

using physics objects for signage in BNG would make it run about 10 times slower. Just adding a single soft-body hay bale drops frames like adding another car, and you already need a supercomputer to run the damn thing with more than two cars anyway.

You can spawn barrels, gas canisters, and cinderblock walls if you really want something movable to smash into anyway.

...

>not being hektik

anyway easier =/= faster

I would murder an orphanage to make that happen.

It's a lot harder when you have little to no feedback. A full-sim racing game with a full rig will never be anything like actually driving on a track. You only get visual and audio (and occasionally basic touch) feedback, where actually being in the seat allows you to use every sense to pilot the vehicle.

it's a spongebob quote m8

to quote someone else, you're dead to me.

Let's hope that announcement from ~1 month ago actually results in a TXR 4

Can you teach me how to drift, /v/? I know it's for casuals, but all I have is project cars.

Anyone else in the Pixel Car Racer beta?

You can get LFS for free, and RWD car from free version is okay for drifting. Also, there are many tutorials and drift online servers in this game and you'll probably get some help there.

or you won't because dudebro drifting is terrible community-wise and half of people you'll ever encounter will be either lowlifes or kids. anyway, worth a try.

These cars were amazing fun, glad to see it turn into an actual series.
Custom skins: Yay or Nay?

Still, many of us race and git at least somewhat gud with a sim.
The visual, audio and force feedback becomes enough to go fast.

But we would definitely do better with full feedback conditions. I found this out whenni went karting the other day. You hear the tires when you apply too much lock, turn too hard, feel the rear slip, and the bumps are next-level shit.


But simracing is not complicated and anyone who doesnt get a grip to it within a reasonably short time is a shit driver.
>Gitting gud is the hard part

Whats the best car in Dirt Rally for a meme loving fuck like me?

this one

kek, I was planning on that one anyway. What makes it a meme though?

damn that's a fucking sick model where to cop

basically
this
Use headphones to hear the tires, practice more, watch replays to get a better idea of things and eventually your mind will fill in the blanks. "soft hands" on the wheel helps with force feedback.
