GT was the 8th most sold game for the PSP, so probably yes.
Then again, the Vita is such a huge failure that it probably wouldn't sell on that, Sony probably won't make any mobile consoles because of that and on a phone the chances are slim aswell unless they'd make it F2P

Wow that looks shit

Why does this look so dreadful?

On a scale of understeering pig to oversteering mid engined shit storm, how worthless is this car going to be?

All the footage I have seen of it is straight line pulls and even then it didn't look stable.

Probably because you'd take graphics and loot boxes over actual racing

Your "racing" looks like a crash filled shitfest too, so you've got no argument there, mate.
Maybe it would help if the visibility weren't so crap due to totally fucked up lighting.

The fuck? I make the equivalent of 580 usd just sitting at home.

Rubbin's racing kiddo. You're one of those shitters us professionals drive around.

there is countries where minimum wage sucks ass

Probably a model where you don't pay taxes if you only work enough to make 450$/month (so like 3-4 days a month, I did something similar when I was a student)

>Probably a model where you don't pay taxes if you only work enough to make 450$/month (so like 3-4 days a month, I did something similar when I was a student)
user, I'm so sorry but that's full time 10 hours a day 5 days a week.

trinus or vridge or whatever else isn't even remotely as good as any proper vr. eat only rice for a month and get rift dk2, you'll see

No no we're super serious automotive fans. We're not like those video game kiddies.

Where can I download old firmware updates for a Thrustmaster T150? Their website and softpedia have the latest firmware.

hello how do i have fun in here?

You can't expect a 13 year old lightning engine used on a very shit modded track to look better than even a 5 year old android game.

>he doesn't put his foot down and drive through the smoke
faggot

Probably not available. Usually you can't downgrade firmware anyway.

why did you buy some fancy ass phone that you clearly can't afford?

then it's straight up BETTER than a DK2 if all you care about is simracing

What's the minimum speed at which your typical modern F1 car gets to properly benefit from its potential downforce while turning?

120mph

The phone was given to me by an old friend for a third of its price, and how can I have neetbux if I have a job?

The limit approaching 0mph - wind speed

i have a DK2 and an LG G3 i'm no longer using
should i bother strapping it to my face or what

why not try both?
DK2's upsides: 75hz, no persistence, oculus drivers, OLED (no LCD trail effect)
G3's upsides: considerably better resolution and screen door effect

Oh yeah and also DK2's got positional head tracking out of the box.

I've got a G3 that I use for VR sometimes, my only real complaints are that it gets hot as fuck after 10-15 minutes and the bandwidth over USB 2.0 doesn't seem to be high enough to stream properly

maybe i'll try it when i'm really bored

Only 3 years in the making

I don't know why he was racing with simdads to start with, literally every conversation he had with the admin could have been with a bot designed to impersonate generic boomers in positions of marginal authority.

Heh this one was p. funny.

Don't worry James. Everybody else is always at fault. It's never you.

you got banned for being a cunt

it's standard protocol on the internet not to shit on administration in public if you don't want to get banned

>internet admin is a powertripping shitter
this is normal

If watkins had the same grip issue would anyone really care?

Yeah dude how dare he embarrass the league in front of its TV partners and millions of potential viewers that believe it to be a flawless pinnacle of sport.

Why didn't they just download risto_watkins_b.svm

>doesn't remember Catalunya getting shitlisted because it had slightly less grip than other tracks so everyone could blame how much they suck on it

talk shit, get hit animeposter
Go suck James' dick on his teamspeak now

It's ok because you could gain the time back by cutting the T1 chicane

How much track issues bother you generally relates to how easy you think it would be to fix, with the default for most people being to believe everything is impossibly difficult.

This probably vaguely relates to why everyone keeps regurgitating the old version of Watkins Glen with the death curbs into every gMotor game when the game it was ripped from updated the track to be more accurate years ago.

no

There weren't any rules about track limits until said autistic Finnish weeb furfag got really butthurt about finishing second to James.

alright my dudes I know not that many people here do iracing but lads the LMP1s are quite fun. they get pretty hektik on a nearly full 60 car grid dealing with traffic but feeling that boost kick in is all worth it

how do they compare to the AC LMP1s?
That's the only other sim that I know where it has a good hybrid system

i was planning on buying one of the lmp1's but since i saw that everyone is using them i didnt.

having 20 lmp1's and 5 gte's defeat the satisfaction of weaving thru traffic on endurance races i want true multiclass racing i guess ill just have to wait until the hype dies down

in my races this weekend there were a healthy amount of GTEs. close to 50% in my two races. obviously not close to real life but plenty of traffic to manage. There are very few daytona prototypes though which is kind of expected. you'll only see those in top split

haven't tried them honestly. Don't play much AC since the iracing multiplayer is so much better in my opinion and i'm paying for it. I'll give it a shot and report back assuming

assuming I can get it up and running*

most of the MR cars in sport always oversteer for me no matter how much i tweak it to understeer, but i'll be damned of i don't get some great lap times out of the mclaren f1 and tomahawk gr1. i'm hopeful it won't be a huge turd.

I think it would do well
Almost all of the racing games on the app store are either P2W or meh

Attached: Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps_15.jpg (3494x2160, 946K)

did a few laps on the same track (nurburgring GP) on AC. the iracing version has a bit more adjustablitiy for starters in terms of setup choices. I couldn't figure out how to change the downforce in AC aside from the wing settings. iracing has a high downforce layout separate from the wing angle.

The hybrid system recharges much more energy in AC. i never ran out of juice despite driving like an idiot. in iracing you have to manage it much more closely. also the bars are different on the wheel for the hybrid battery and boost remaining for the lap for some reason. One more thing is the brakes. in iracing the brakes are much more powerful and there is a distinct difference between energy regenning brakes and physical pads that I didn't feel in AC.

The TC is much less intrusive on AC despite having been turned higher up than I have it in iracing. not sure which one is more realistic.

Both versions tend to understeer and you have to work that out in the setups. the default AC setup was particularly bad. Can't remember on iracing since i've worked it out since with just a couple tweaks

In general, like most cars, the AC version is more forgiving to drive versus the iracing version.

I prefer the iracing version but i am biased.
