I think you may have been a little premature with your conclusion tbh.

How many months have you put into getting those times with your DFGT?
You're used to using a smaller rim with different FFB characteristics with a different shifter, and all your muscle memory is programmed for that.

A few days to get used to a completely new setup just isn't enough, but you are right in that having fancy gear doesn't necessarily make you quicker.
It just makes it feel better, and it's down to the individual driver on whether he can get more out of it.
 
yes true but for me and dirt rally it wouldn't work with that set up.

i tried quite a few wheels and for this game my wheel seems to work for me better. i don't think its a better overall product that would be lunacy :p

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

Thanks :)

I'm using a Logitech G27 Wheel.


Also I agree with Dg, I think for rally games on the wheel, less is more.

You need to have a light wheel that you can tip full lock from one way to the other very quickly. Especially on loose surface.

For tarmac based games where you have to be super smooth with your lines to be fastest having a nice steady wheel with fantastic force feedback is probably more important. I use a G27 which is not a bad wheel but I have my feedback toned down a lot, just so that I know what's going on but also enough so that it doesn't fight me too much. I remember hearing an interview with someone driving a 205 T16 (IRL), for a car with no power steering it had incredibly light steering. That is done on purpose.

You can make your wheel as light or as heavy, maybe fanatec needed to update thier software for dirt.

Great videos and footage and ending is very good, feel it needs a more pumping sound track, maybe one that 'builds'

Thanks mate, knocked it up in 30 minutes. I made a trailer for Project Cars about 5 years ago so it's the first thing I've done since.

Trying to work out how to get 'clearer' captures - currently using Geforce Experience to capture it.
 
you need the higher resolution at end of the day.shadowplay is pretty good though for files size vs performance hit.

what gpu do you have ?
 
Can anyone advise which way or where the "Joker" lane is on the first Rallycross circuit? I tried going down the tarmac lane just off to the left of where you start which is actually longer than the dirt circuit especially when you hit the wall - but doesn't seem to help, still placed 16th... :o
 
Is it possible to make it so when you are night driving and you turn your headlights off, its pitch black as it would be on a rally track without floodlights.

i.e greece tracks and germany in the middle of a forrest you wouldnt be able to see anything at all if you turned them off
 
Still struggling with the Rallycross but improving very slightly on the main events. Took some advice I picked up at Reddit that the best way to getting a higher finish is driving steady. I tried this approach on stages 2 - 6 in Sweden having made a complete hash of Stage 1 and much to my surprise managed to place 3rd at the event end. Not enough to salvage enough championship points following my "retirement" at Monte Carlo going over the cliff (!) though. When you factor that a cautious drive eliminates the 15 second recovery penalties or having to restart from a dead stand after t-boning a hairpin, it kind of makes sense as opposed to just thrashing the cars everywhere and throwing them at corners.

IMHO come on very well since the early access stages. It's never going to beat the 1999 Rally Championship by Magnetic Fields with its punishing 25 mile stages, but as even the remastered version no longer works on modern PC's, dirt is pretty much the go-to rally game for now.

IMAO, just watched a stage in 1999 Rally Championship on youtube.

If Rally Championship was hard drive with its punishing 25 mile stages, you'll find Dirt a breeze then.

Whats the secound word in your post--->struggling.:p
