On-line Racing

[MozzMann]

How many here do and what platforms PC please.

I have NEVER seen anyone on the SAU TS so was curious .

Have been doing a bit lately.

Mainly Project CARS as the AI is very ordinary and drives too dirty to have a clean challenging race.

Would like to get into RaceRoom Race Experience but haven't bought any content for it yet, AI seems good enough for a challenge as well.

Reminds me a lot of GTR and GTR2, I guess that's to be expected seeing as Simbin have had a hand in it's development.

Have rFactor 2, not finding it as exciting to get into as the original was though so haven't really been able to get into it. Maybe I just need to find some good cars to run in game

Waiting for Assetto Corsa to come on sale on steam and I'll grab it as well.

Keen to get back into iRacing again as they have recently updated tyre models so apparently it's a little easier to recover from moments. I'm yet to get as much feedback from the track through the wheel from another game yet.

Safety rating system went a fair way to stopping people from acting out when they have a spin or from driving Gran Turismo style, although private servers do that as well I guess once you find a good bunch to race with.

use iRacing with SAU and thats about it.

Project Cars would be good to into online, but im having fun with the career (even if the AI is disruptful. you just have to get in front of them!)

Assetto Corsa is on-sale now, but i wont be jumping on it. car list is pretty average, though UI and track/car quality is good.

Wreckfest is Destruction Derby reborn. havent had a server with decent ping yet, but its awesome fun. and has single player.

assetto i have been trying to get into for a while. did not like

project cars i do like, it feel a little unfinished, especially with bump/crash physics but its enjoyable, very small car list though.

[anon32]

So any of these gamees have supras, skylines, rx7 ect or not

[GH05T]

no for project cars.

[«Cyph3r»]

Just bought Assetto and the DLC pack for under $50AUD on the steam sale.

Had played it before in the release state (prior to the big patches) and wasn't overly impressed but I turned a few laps at Mugello today in some GT cars and wow!

I like the feeling you get through the wheel a lot more than Project Cars! It's obviously not as pretty in some regards as pCARS. I think both have their strengths and weaknesses.

Gran Turismo 3 lol.

Gotta get with the times unfortunately. unless you go to jap games or browser/mobile racers

someone should make a game about hardparking.

[MozzMann]

There are a couple of Site's you might like to have a good look at, VirtualR . Net and rFactor Central , RaceDepartment as well. these have many likns to many many different mods for and tracks for most Sim platforms.

[anon32]

Sounds like I racing is the way to go currently?

[MozzMann]

iRacing IMHO is one of the most over-rated simulations , and honestly there is no way I will or could justify the constant outlay.

[anon32]

What do you play

Yeah we know, you keep telling everyone.

There's an SAU iRacing championship. You can always get a short-term trial and jump in. If you don't like it, try something else.

Assetto Corsa has mods you can add to the game for extra tracks and vehicles.

The community has made some import cars such as s13 silvia, 180sx type x, r32 skyline, honda nsx, nissan s15, mazda fc3s rx7, and a nissan 240sx.

There is also a few australian tracks now such as eastern creek, surfers paradise street circuit, adelaide street circuit & barbagallo raceway.

[GH05T]

maby i should reload it, give it a go

[MozzMann]

In answer to your question Anon AC, rF1, GSC, all with many Aussie and NZ tracks and Aussie V8's too. PC once I get some glitches out of my custom pedals, Previously have owned and played (still Do some of them) Pole Position, F1 '98, GTR2, GTR Evo, DiRT 1,2,3. Monster Truck Madness 1 & 2 and many other offerings from GT & Endurance cars, to Rally and Hill Climbs, some good, some bad and some that should never have been sold as a "Simulation" .

[warps]

I don't see GPL in that lot, Mozz.

Say it ain't so...

RFactor (the original one) has an R34 GTR patch.

Also lots of Aussie tracks including Lakeside, Amaroo, Bathurst (the 3 I've driven IRL) plus Eastern Ck, Surfers (old one and the street track), morgan pk, warwick farm, wakefield, Symmons plains, Darwin, Camberra, Melb GP, Townsville, Winton, Longford, Calder, Oran Pk, Phillip Island, Sandown, QR as well as a host of NZ tracks. Best thing is they're all free - no stupid monthly fees just to keep playing.

[MozzMann]

Opps Yes Warps GPL add On was superb

And I concur on the fee's .

[anon32]

So assetto corsa has best availability for actual achievable street cars to be used but rfactor has the most Australian tracks. Is this right

[MozzMann]

To a point anon as I am some oythers are working on several things , for Asseto including the Aussie V8's AND Aussie tracks ,
