im sorry but how the efffff do you do the drift events with a wheel? the throttle control is impossible with pedals. Seems its made for use for fingers ad triggers

very very hard.. i can't beat the 2nd event :/ seems like those with controllers manage it.. no way to do it with wheel.. i have tried it for sooo long that i got blisters on my thumbs!

Definitely very pretty with all the eye candy on...
Setting up G27 is a bit hit and miss tho I have tried so many configurations for the FF im getting lost now.

I will add you guys to my auto log if thats OK, then atleast I can gauge if im setting my wheel up ok.
If you can add me to yours-Namorismo

Anyone finding the cockpit cameras way too dark?

Found a forum post which said you should untick "Enable Surface Format Optimisation" in the ATI CCC... but with that unticked, although it's much brighter, my game just crashes at random points during a race (screen goes bright yellow and I have to reset the PC).

I have a nvidia card and the cockpit is very dark in some races for me too.
I think maybe its the game at fault, its like I need to switch the dash lights on as I cant make out the dials at all.

Drifting = Stupidly difficult. Cant even string a move together at the minute...

btw drifing is stupid just skip it, you unlock the new races by gaining levels up until the GT 1 series anyway which needs the works league and gt3 finished to unlock.

I have it set up that way at the moment, thx tho.
Now I just keep fiddling, get my self lost and revert back to the above settings.

Racer_S has updated his camera control / Track IR app to work for Shift 2 :

This should also work with FreeTrack as well, if any of you have that set up.

My autolog Gaz1128 see you on the track

zia · 2 Apr 2011 at 06:38

My 5970 is struggling to break 34 fps,have tried few tweaks but not helping,out of the box the graphics look a lot worse than shift 1.
Tried disabling crossfire and it dips to single digits
On the + side handling is soo much better in this game,and there is no floatiness

as with first one,
Autolog =arithon75

Forcing AA through the Nvidia CP has greatly improved the IQ for me, IQ has so much more going on compared to shift, reflections and lighting is sublime. A vid of mine below with AA forced.

NightSt@lk3r · 2 Apr 2011 at 08:37

Night racing with Forced AA has some weird lighting glitches for me.

Mr Latte · 2 Apr 2011 at 09:44

Game looks fantastic...
With upcoming mods this could be very good.

So lads anyone running triple screens?
Still just pondering (if/when) to consider PCs for some gaming after a multiple year absence.

Whats needed for:
Triple screens / 1080p all gfx max and a 40-60 fps possible?

Mr. May · 2 Apr 2011 at 10:10

well i've got 2x470's and 3x1080p and it struggles to play it on high with no AA due to the lack off ram i would say ya need a minimum off 480/580 with the 1.5gb ram

Thomss · 2 Apr 2011 at 10:35

Damn, this does look really nice - tempted to get it tonight on Steam - I've been on a rampage lately buying games on Steam like no tomorrow!

anyone with an ATI card want to try this "fix"

http://www.overclock.net/ati/979202-shift-2-performance-fixes.html

I tried that and get loads of jaggies

Fps are less than having max fps ingame either and that works :/
