l'implementazione del fanatec csw 2 e' veramente ottima, ci sono parametri diversi per ogni tipo di corona montata e soprattutto la possibilita' di settare il display tipo fanaleds.

Questo sim e' diventato il mio preferito, e' un po' piu' facile di AC, meno imprevedibile di pcars. In una parola onesto e immediato.

Molto furba secondo me la politica di vendita dei contenuti, ogni tanto buttano fuori qualcosa di nuovo e alla fine puoi spendere belle cifre (non come iracing), anche se sono secondo me molto onesti con le auto che puoi provare prima di comprarle. L'unica cosa che non capisco e' far pagare le skins aggiuntive, quelle le darei sempre gratis con le auto.

La cosa che preferisco sono i custom championships che in altri sim sono visti come fumo agli occhi (c'e' stata una recente e inconcepibile risposta stizzita di Ian Bell di Pcars ad un utente che gli chiedeva di inserirli) a cui aggiungerei solamente la possibilita' di fare due gare ad evento (tipo WTCC con partenza rovesciata per la seconda gara) e l'eventuale pit obbligatorio.

l'FFB con le ultime modifiche e' perfetto secondo me, grande sensazione di perdita di aderenza e velocita' di sterzata

[oppolo]

piu' skin ha una macchina e piu' devi pagare se le vuoi tutte, non ci vedo nulla di strano, la formula e' questa, piu' vuoi piu' paghi.

A chi interessa avere tutte le skin sono convenienti i pack

 

si, sparito l'effetto galeggiamento

I custom champ sono una figata, e davvero non capisco come PC e AC non li usino. Stizzirsi poi perchè uno li chiede mi pare assurdo. Siamo sempre lì, gli utenti chiedono cose che c'erano in RF1 anni e anni fa... boh

Quanti smanettamenti "a posteriori" richiede? O è abbastanza "out of the box"?

[Guest]

Nessuno smanettamento anche i gradi di sterzata su auto. Col csw2 tutto su off tranne ff e for su 100. In gioco tutto stock tranne effetto motore, vibrazione freno e cambio che ognuno ha i suoi io uso 5%-20%-10%

nuovo update

 

Game:

• Fixed an issue in spectator mode where the wrong slot was sometimes assigned.
• Reverted the change that made full screen off by default.
• Changed it so that if the full screen mode fails to initialize, the game starts in a windowed mode with a safe resolution 1280x720.
• Added additional logging for resolution related issues.
• Fixed an issue with symbolic links causing menu assets to not show.

AI, & Camera

• Zandvoort - Modified TV cameras for GP layout.
• Mazda Laguna Seca - Fixed cut track detection for T1 and pit exit area. This was being exploited in the leaderboards and the currently ongoing Thrustmaster sponsored competition. The leaderboards (including the competition leaderboard) for this track have been wiped clean.

Art

• Oschersleben - Fixed a collision issue with pitlane objects.
• Shanghai - Performance optimizations.
• Zolder - Various art fixes and windmills mentioned in previous patch notes are now properly in.

[enzocarbone]

E il supporto allo SLI quando lo implementeranno?

[atchoo]

Avresti vantaggi con il supporto?
È vero che tu hai molti più pixel da gestire, ma con una singola 780Ti mi girava a 120fps fissi, con ampio margine e tutto al massimo, FullHD.

New release attached, this one contains:

• Track map showing positions on map as well as a speed trap showing the best top speed for the duration the window has been active.
• Added the ability to get the information autoDirector was using to make decisions without having it switch the camera for you. Called it "Director suggestions". Hopefully this gives extra info to broadcasters during qualifications.

Note: I haven't tested all the different track maps so some might be going the wrong direction, please let me know if you see that. There might also be some "jerk" issues with the track map on tablets.
