Just had a go on this for the first time on my dk2 ... two words - stunning & difficult!

Can see myself playing this a lot.

......but what i need personally is quick fast with the least amount of effort.

the gearshifter was very stiff hard imagine how many times you up and down the gears.

so i explained to them and they was very interested with the feedback and polite. so a great learning process . i also get why some of the people with massive fancy sim rigs are slower......

so while i could have just rinsed some top tens out still done the media and probably kept the gear i would rather just give the feedback to them and hopefully they develop a nicer wheel for rally use.
.....

Did you try adjusting the resistance on the gear shifter? Mine will go as slack or stiff as you could want, it probably helps to have a solid mounting mind you.

What did you think of the handbrake and which wheel did they send you? If they sent you the BMW then I can understand you sentiments, I prefer the Porsche rim for everything. With rally driving in mind maybe they should have sent you the universal hub and one of their off the shelf rims such as the round one.

In other news the Rift support is fantastic. Posted more in the VR sub forum but in short probably the best presented image I've seen yet among driving sims. Really immersive and much better than their lack luster triple screen support.

Those with no interest in the VR fad also have to download this bloated "patch" . . sick of this crap.

they sent me a universal rim, shifter v3, pedals,wheelbase clamps,extra dampners all sorts.as said for wanting to help and provide 11/10.products how they are made 11/10. just after many hrs couldnt get a setting i liked for dirt rally.which was a shame.

well jumped back on with my old wheel last night and been smashing the top times with group a lancia delta.

we should do some stage time attacks or something. same stage for a week random weather random car.would make it fun.just about beating PB.

Count me in dg sounds like a good idea having the best to the novice and the old competing together.

Revive now updated to make DR work on Vive.

Nobody knows it it will be a fad. From the look of the adoption of it from larger companies, it could turn into a major thing. Although, granted that this update should have been optional DLC.

I have no interest in adding 10gb to my ssd for zero reason!

How much space does it take on your SSD at the moment?

~>Dg<~ · 12 Jul 2016 at 22:37

its the same size overall as it was

Exactly. Everyone is piping up its 10gb and mine went from 44gb on disk to 43.7gb.

You can also run it on Vive in VR with Revive and even without VR enabled if you have an Oculus by stopping the Oculus VR runtime service

started playing this a week ago and i'm not bad with the rallying and am up to the professional league after a 3rd and a 2nd place but pikes peak - damn, i'm lucky if i'm less than a minute behind, its impossible!

~>Dg<~ · 14 Jul 2016 at 23:17

pikes peak is all about gearing and smooth lines.with practice you will get it.you must get the lines right though.

do sectors 1 at a a time until you learn the whole course.

aardvark · 15 Jul 2016 at 18:29

thanks - its practice practice practice.
don't really like the 205 tough - i may save up for one of the others.

I started with the 205 on pikes peak and didn't like it but had to strugule on as I had very little money.
The audio quarto is great however but it doesn't change the fact you must be smooth. Hard on or of the gas /brakes will throw you of the track ☺

~>Dg<~ · 15 Jul 2016 at 20:00

you want the 405 out of the audi and the pug.

Mason- · 17 Jul 2016 at 10:55

Thought I'd have a play in the Integrale.

Car is so easy to throw around. Good car.

FloppyPoppy · 17 Jul 2016 at 11:18

That is very impressive! probably going to be one of the first games i will be picking up soon.

Edit out of curiosity what are you using to control this? and if it's on a controller are you using triggers or a button for acceleration

Triggers for Brake and Throttle, if you really get into it pick up a secondhand wheel like a Logitech DFGT.

~>Dg<~ · 17 Jul 2016 at 13:17

if you check out uk hotdeals there is a megadeal on a thrustmaster wheel.other than that i would pick up a logitech dfgt/g27 secondhand.

been on assetto last few days going to give Wales a good thrashing
