Well, some cars are crap But i would say that after GT3s update, everything else feels considerably worse (maybe except FWDs)
doesn't the m235i already have the "hodgkinson signature physics"? I somehow remember it being the first one...
Nope, GT3s are first of Alex's. M235i has still this weird stiff feeling to it (even though it's really soft). This is something that started to bother me recently
I wish more people thought the same way. Elitism in an already niche community is just about the worst thing possible, and it is unfortunately present.
Agreed. To anyone not already a simracer or hardcore gamer, we're all just "maturity challenged men and women playing video games" for the most part. You've got people slamming games for being "arcade", meanwhile an f1 driver hops into into f1 2016 and drives a perfect lap on the track preview show. Even the more mass focused games of the current era achieve some pretty impressive simulations.
I also like M235i, but there is something weird about it. Could be related to inertia, which Alex mentioned was a bit off in old GT3 physics
To combat this and increase the adrenaline, I have my missus standing behind me waiting for me to crash and bounce the frying pan of my noggin. Its effective, but we've broken a few.
In my mind Race Room has the best physics so far. many of the cars that have not been updated still drive very good with a little setup tuning. Take the Ruf out for a spin and feel the way it responds to throttle and trail braking. Not bad for an "old" version. What seems strange to me is that one of the other PC sims has terrible physics on the street versions of most cars and people still buy it. I've owned every sim or driving game made since 1999 and that includes Gran Turismo 5 and 6 on the PS3.
Coming from AC for me the physics are there. On GT3 I only have the McLaren 650 GT3 and have tried the F3 too. The GT3 felt understeery with the default setup, but once some changes done it become more balanced to my style. I think I just need to customize more the FF on my G27. Need to be careful as is easy to screw up the feeling. The part I am having trouble is braking. I am not getting enough feedback compared to AC.
i just started driving RR and to me it's the most realistic sim with great physics and development behind it.
I really like the Callaway Corvette GT3 right now. It matches my driving style better than most. Nearly all games that allow a game pad option will have a slight under-steer that we tune out. Race Room is better than most when using a good wheel. At least most of the default cars can still be raced without pushing off the track.
realistic or not its the most fun sim to drive right now, great ffb and car handling make it a lot more fun than the other games to me
I agree sth is missing there.There used to be a breaking effect slider in ffb setup,they took it out,after ffb update, cause it was messing with another effect.I think the best way to compensate that feel,is to increase lateral if someone knows more please enlighten us
This just shows how differently we simracers perceive what is best. To me the most realistic is AMS, with rFactor 2 being close 2nd, and R3E third. I'm not too crazy about AC, but I have to admit the last time I've tried it was a while ago. On the fun scale R3E is really good though, but it crashes/freezes too often
