I'd prefer some Jap cars personally.

Awesome, although would have much preferred Jap cars myself.
 
@cuffylad, if you're reading this, you have a message on the InsideSimRacing re the cockpit question you posed:

Chris at ObuttoChris from obutto here :) and while I may be a bit biased, I thought I'd shed some light on our cockpit's. First & foremost I designed our cockpits for comfortable computer use (ie anything with a keyboard & mouse) because I gamed for 4-8hrs every night and was miserable at my old IKEA desk. This was done by completely changing the seating position compared to an office chair and desk. In an office chair we sit very upright and most of your weight is on your arse/hips, hence why we get sore, or shift around etc. Our cockpits put you in a more natural and supported position, much more laid back to redistribute your weight across more of your body (ie thighs and lower back). This is accomplished by allowing your legs to be stretched out straight & raised on the pedal tray, while having your seatback reclined back. Next is the position of the keyboard/mouse tray, which is low and just above your lap and keeps your forearms parallel to the ground, hence omitting the need for armrests. Your upper arms are instead supported underneath by the seatback bolsters. Lastly, the monitor is at a proper height so your neck can be in correct alignment, instead of looking down or looking up. Anyhow, the point is obutto's are certainly not a sim racing/flight sim rig with a keyboard tray heh :)



Since I also tracked my E30 at a local track, and had just started sim-racing at the time, I also designed the ability to achieve a proper race driving position. Lastly, my father is a retired Colonel (RCAF, US Army Air Corps and USAF combat pilot), so I grew up in & around all kinds of aeroplanes, and later worked in the aviation industry along with my stepfather who was an aviation nutter and kept an incredible collection of pre-war de Havilland Moth's. Since aviation is in my blood (so to say), and I knew how large the flight sim community was, I also made it possible to have proper mounting locations for flight controllers.



I personally, stopped using desks in '06 after creating the first Obutto oZone cockpit, and do all of my work & gaming in my cockpits....even typing this post right now in my r3v. My thoughts in a nutshell, nobody could pay me enough money to ever use a desk again heh! Thanks for your time & I hope this clarifies things for ya :)



Best regards,

Chris

Purchased the game as £20 it would be rude not to. I'm a very lite racer but enjoyed Shift 1 - absolutely hated Live for Speed and it's insane control with a controller. Anyway Assetto from the very quick dive in I have had is spot on. Drove the fiat 500 and the BMW M3 - using Xbox 360. Very controllable, wheel would obviously be better but this is as playable as any game I have tried racing on with the controller
 
Got this for £20 on Steam as I think that's a very good deal and the game can only get better. Drove a Lotus on the Imola circuit. Hadn't realised that the chicane onto the start/finish straight had gone. I loved that part of the track when playing GP2/GP4 etc. :(

Still, lovely game and it'll take me a while to get used to braking! :o
 
I bought this a while ago and really like it, but just wanted to check something I have a wheel and pedals and have the game setup for auto clutch but when I change up gear in a car like a lotus the revs jump high but on others like the mclaren doesn't. Is this normal?
