Bad idea to dive into this with a controller?

Uncle Petey · 10 Mar 2015 at 14:28

^ Yep, that's how I originally learned it back in the PGR days

Snoopy, it's been awesome, but tomorrow is a new day

Yep.
I started with a 360 controller then bought a G27 wheel setup, which was awesome.
I've recently sold the wheel & tried Assetto the other night back on the pad...... 25 seconds a lap slower around Spa in the F40. :mad:

Not one of my better decisions selling the wheel.

Not at all, start of on the controller and if you feel you want to take it further then get yourself a decent wheel.

a tool for it which allows you to start at different points, so I started before the final sector and when driving I'd keep edging into the first sector of the next lap, learning it bit by bit too. Then I'd move back a sector and do that a few times, carrying on into the final sector, then again the start of the next lap.

I wish there was a tool like this in AC... I don't think it allows starts and restarts from some random point on a track.

There's one of the licences on Gran Turismo that breaks down the track into about four sections. Certainly helps the learning process.

No, I'm fairly sure there isn't. It doesn't matter where you start though, it just means it will take longer to get to the bit you want to learn.

In Assetto Corsa it's a case of doing it in your head, using trees and scenery to break the track up - things like the two carousels help too. Once you know which direction the next corner is it all starts to fall into place very quickly. I learned the Ring in GPL without the need for such a tool (I think there was a tool (Ring Trainer?), but I didn't bother using it).

Lol.

Ring trainer.

Have you got an A-Team van you can do it in?

I don't mind using the 360 pad for most of the cars but the single seaters seem undrivable.

Deffo going to get a proper wheel this year if I can.

God, the old Momo Force! That takes me back a bit! You can't have had much use out of it? Mine died back in 2006 or so, and the pedals earlier than that!

RevBillyG · 10 Mar 2015 at 18:31

Momo force here too. €25 from a 2nd hand site. Works great

phatboy · 10 Mar 2015 at 18:59

£20 from a friend, works an absolute treat....cant see any reason to upgrade from it

Someone needs to make this for AC!

What settings are you guys using for the G27? Something feels a little iffy about the ones that I have from a couple of updates ago!

FloppyPoppy · 11 Mar 2015 at 00:00

So i finally managed to get around Nordschleife without crashing

EDIT : My driving has improved quite a lot since this video hoping to make another soon of the improvements
