Assetto Corsa

Nice. I just cannot get the hang of ending the drift nicely.

Do you mean tank slappers? I had awful problems with them until I learnt that letting off gas pedal unloads the back wheels and loads up the front wheels (that are turned at some crazy angle for countersteering). Front wheels then bite and car swerves violently resulting in a tank slapper. So to stop that its all about gas pedal control, don't just come off it suddenly, do it gently (and/or with lots of little stabs at the gas pedal to make micro corrections) and if you feel that the front is about to grip, just give it some gas again to take the weight off the front tyres again. Hope that made sense

As for Dream Pack - yeah, the wait is getting to me too

One of the mods you've installed is broken. Remove them all then add back one at a time to figure out which

Got myself a g27 yesterday so will try and get into AC a lot more. Just got to get used to using a gear stick, the DSG in my actual car has ruined my clutch foot.

No, not Nords DLC, but still rally cool:

FERRARI F355 BERLINETTA F1 with really good physics and FFB

FERRARI F355 BERLINETTA F1

Is that Magnum's Ferrari?

 

[Uncle Petey]

Nope, he rocked a 308GTS.

Also Suzuka mod is very decent from that same mod maker - 3d grass, good detail and well optimised too:

[Uncle Petey]

Yeah, his Suzuka is quality.

I love the idea of rally stages!

Speaking of the devil, a beta of 288GTO mod was released today. Missing a few textures, but drives really well already.

How long till the dream pack?

 

[teh_captain]

Too long

They say Q1, but a few people have said it'll be around the same time Project Cars is released so to try and steal a bit of their thunder.

Although just read PCars has been delayed until early April, so who knows?

Forza 5's laserscanned Nords has taken 13 000 man hours to make, so ... It should be worth the wait (fingers crossed- they cant screw this up, can they?)

Update for the white rims of 288GTO above (replace file in the car's folder). Now the car is pretty much complete if you run with headlights on to mask their missing textures
Gorgeous car, and physics are just awesome (don't know if they match the real GTO's specs, but they FEEL right - the suspension, the tyres ...)

Looks like another Forza rip . . . theres barely a handful of quality scratchbuilt mods for AC

 

[Borsch]

No, the 288GTO is 100% hand made, its in AC forums too and they dont allow rips. http://www.assettocorsa.net/forum/index.php?threads/ferrari-288-gto-beta-1-01.14782/page-17

THe Berlinetta F355 on the other hand... Both drive really well though, particularly the 288 which is one of the best drives in AC imho.

Update me time!

Last I played of this, it was forced to use mouse/kb in the menu and only really had time trials...

Has there been any career implemented yet? Full controller support?

I want a Forza on PC if that helps.

 

[Borsch]

I think you'll still have to use mouse for the menus. Also Career does not unlock cars (unlike Forza or GT), but it is there, as is online lobby and racing vs AI. Its a different game to Forza (which i've never played I admit, but I did play some GT ))

Closest thing, progression wise anyway, in the Forza / GT style would be NFS Shift 2 I thnk?

Project Cars might be similar, but I haven't tried the career mode yet even though I have beta access
