Racing Games

I'm still a bit sceptical of Assetto Corsa though it has a lot going for it - I found the understeer waaay exaggerated, even after I eliminated a bug in my config file that caused the road surface temperature to be extremely low which was causing some oddities with cornering - it also surprises most people who've played it on my setup - though I can't be entirely sure it isn't an issue specific to my setup.

If you're understeering in Assetto then you're either entering the corner to fast, not setting the car up right at corner entry for hitting the apex or not using the car characteristics correctly. That's what I found anyway, AC being as brilliant as it is has a way of telling you that. I was so much faster by going slower into corners if that makes sense. I'm not trying to be clever so don't take this reply that way please, it's just the way AC is.

ACC is getting much better. We just need a non sub game to nail online in the form of iRacing's amazing online model. I can't believe no developer can see that and go all in to smash iRacing's sub base.

Thing is though I've driven on a couple of the tracks in cars that are in the game and been able to take most of the corners at 2 even 3x the speed it is possible in AC and I'm a fairly so-so driver. Without any other reference I can't say if it is AC itself or a problem with my setup though.
 
ACC's UI was either excellent or terrible when I played. They're really up for a fight, good clean racing and then you just get tapped and that's the race ruined. But that would happen every race if the pack was close. Haven't played in a few months so hopefully that's improved.

AC has such a good catalogue of mods though. Takes tinkering but it's well worth it.
