Oh man there is so much been added, it's a completely different game now. Rain is amazing too.

CSP is a paid mod and messes up the AI cars if racing against them, so not really amazing.

What? CSP is free. The preview version is paid, which only adds a couple of features such as rain.
What do you mean it messes them up? It actually benefits AI with new AI features, this is what CSP is all about.. extending the game with brilliant extra features over vanilla.

No one plays Assetto Corsa without mods or CSP.... You clearly do not know what you're talking about. I've been modding the game for years and know it inside out. I could post loads of videos of me racing against AI on numerous tracks without issues.

You specifically mentioned rain, which is paid :cry:

Using extended physics, which you use for rain, messes the AI cars up https://youtu.be/Gn5g8mSCfg4?t=159 https://youtu.be/qqV-thoxPHU?t=213

~~Perhaps~~ you don't know what you are talking about.

Modding for years, big whoop so have I.

You said CSP is a paid mod and messes up AI if racing against them.. I said rain at the end of the sentence as an extra. I was referring to CSP in general and how it's changed the game completely. AI is a lot better now with extended physics in rain, one tiny area of the game and you said it's bad?

I don't know what I'm talking about ok.. I make mods for Assetto but yeah I have no idea what I'm talking about

I bet you don't even know what PBR is.

AI is not. At least you know what extended physics is now.

This is off-topic.

nighty-night mod-master :cry:

wish I bought playstation 5 now for gran turismo. GT looks better visually for a start, and I prefer the gameplay.

aas I've got gamepass I'll give FM a go but I really don't see me liking it. A big part of the fun for me was upgrading the cars just for the pure fun of it.

Just wait for it to come to PC.

FM or gt?

GT as most of their exclusives have or are on the way and it was mentioned the GeForce now leak a couple of years ago.

If you have premium you'll be able to play from 12:00pm tomorrow if you do the New Zeland trick

Do we need VPN or just to change the windows region? like an Xbox would?

No, apparently:

Go into your Region Settings.
Select New Zealand there.
Restart your PC or restart Xbox app

(this is for the Gamepass version)

Done the intro in my lunch break with a quick trip to New Zeeland.
Out of the box its pretty good, FFB is light on CSL-DD but that can probably be tuned in messing with the settings.
Running absolute maxed on PC with full on track raytracing and its ok, the options will take some messing around but i just turned everything to full and uncapped the framerate.

Think its the start of a good platform, though the AI can be a little aggressive off the start.

Was there are built-in profile for the fanatec stuff, wont have chance to check until get home later?

I know I'm not running an average PC (13700k,4090), but cranked at 4k it runs the internal benchmark at around 90fps with DLSS off and 120 with it on. and the benchmark reports 2-3 "stutters" but i dint notice them but my panel is gsync so wouldn't expect to.

I'm happy with the game, my mates on xbox series x are happy. I'd be happier if i could get my bleedin wheel feeling right.

A few settings on this thread, can't test at the moment as have a poorly ankle

Let's post your recommended Fanatec CSL DD / GT DD Pro settings for PC

This is Xbox but a starting point, still need to tweak it more: Forza Motorsport, Xbox Fanatec GT DD Pro 8nm, Formula V2, CSL Elite V2 Pedals SEN: 360 FFB: 100 FF S: Peak NDP: 10 NFR: 5 NIN: 5 INT: Off FEI: 100 BLI: 75 BRF: 20 Deadzones Inside: 0 Deadzones Outside: 100 Vibration...

Wheel setup and what the settings do guide

I think the game is great, miles better than that sterile borefest GT7.
