Wow 0.6.2 is completely unplayble for me. Having enormous stutters every second..

Quote from Hyperactive :

Fern bay is just filled with stupid chicanes. I could never get the fascination some people in lfs have with that track. Tbh I don't miss any of the lfs tracks. To me lfs tracks lack literally everything a nice race circuit has. The long kyoto track is kinda nice and as4 is mostly not horrible but for driving pleasure lfs tracks are just bad. For online racing the lfs tracks are fine because they are basically just as wide as they are long and being so easy to drive. But for sheer driving experience they are most just meh.

Like westhill. Is that even a race circuit? Blackwood? One long straight combined with totally forgettable 90 degree turns. Aston? If it was any wider you could hold land speed record runs there. How many of its turns are not flatout? Kyoto2? Rovals.. I can't remember the last time I even used that word. It was probably in iracing when they did not have enough proper race circuit for the road cars. And in lfs one of the best road courses is a roval. Kyoto3 is kinda nice but again there is that chicane. The rest of the track is very nice but overall any corner of suzuka beats any corner of kyoto.

/rant.

(where did that one come from?)

Pretty much this..

How difficult of a job is that actually, can you just convert them somehow or everything needs to be 'drawn' again?

Quote from Fordman :

And I take it you have driven these...all personally in real life otherwise how can you comment

Fordie

Nope, just like i havent driven the RB4, you?

Fern Bay eh.. The most ridicilous layouts, kurbs, and colors of any driving game in the world It's like engine from Morrowind or something like that
And steering feel, honestly i have no idea what you're talking about , every E30 version, X-Bow, Formula Abarth, Lotus 2-11 etc.. give pornographic feel through the steering wheel.. Not all cars i agree, some are a tad floaty and dead.

Don't get me wrong, from that standpoint i agree completely. I don't think it will ever get to that 'feeling' that LFS gave us all these years. I can't even edit textures here ffs
Just commented the tracks.. they do suck most of them, and i can't believe i was in that "NO MODS!" boat all these years..

Someone mentioned that they didn't have this much fun for years, so true.. One lap of the Ring, or Mugello, or Imola, or Silverstone.. or pretty much any track, miles better then any of the LFS tracks :/ And it's not even because these are 'real'. Just that the layout of almost any LFS track sucks..

Jolly good combo, 0.6.1 locked at 59 fps performs and drives surpsingly well.

KTM X-Bow R

Can't wait for the official version though. Not sure if i should be having this much fun now on the modded one.

0.6.1 definately destroys my PC, hearing some new fan sounds from the case.. Looks great though, perfromance is worse but not that much..

Just no. Yes the official version will offcourse be much better but this is awesome too. Just don't look at the trees.

I honestly can't imagine it beeing a good track for bumper to bumper racing, you have to know every inch of it and so does the othery guy.. It really is purely for self-pleasuring.

Much Hockey
So rules
Many understandings

Quote from R34GTR :

I managed a 7:54 after a few laps, so still probably a few seconds to shave off

Cheers, so my 7:50 is not too shaby

Anyone drove with E30 DTM? Wanna know how far off am i...

Quote from sinbad :

"Blinded", yes, but I think 50% of commuters would not make it home each day if the road was for some reason bathed in a white all-enveloping glow on a nice summer's afternoon

Because they have.. tinted glass, most of the cars? I honestly don't see a thing in my Golf MKII with a regular windshield when the sun is pointed directly at me, almost impossible to drive without the sun visor. Let's just stop though..

@ kristi

So you never had to flip the sun visor in your car ever? This guy did it for the camera lens?
What the hell are we talking about here... enough.. i regret bringing up the subject in the first place

@ sinbad

Camera or the eye, you get blinded, you see the dirt with your eyes, tarmac is bright and you have to put down the sun visor in those occasions. I don't know how else would the game replicate that other then this.

This is what i'm getting at, you often get blinded in real life and can barely see anything.. it's not 100% at replicating that, but it's pretty darn close..

That's the thing, i usually don't fall for those effects and most of the time turn them off if it's possible, but here the HDR, that windshield dirt, the high reflections on the tarmac... really look super realistic to me.. without those it looks like LFS almost..

Yes you look through it, but you also get blinded by the sun and can barely see at times.. which AC replicates very very well.
Honestly wouldn't play it at all if my PC couldn't handle the HDR, it's just so well done imho. Driving through Joux Plane or the Ring.. didn't experienced anything more realistic generally in gaming.. Notice the realistic part, not how many polygons and zero's it has..

Quote from Keling :

Last corner was a big surprise.

That bastard bump there always gets me

Made a comparison with Drive Club, which many consider an OMG best GRAPHICZ for some reason lol. Scary how realistic AC looks.

Quote from Töki (HUN) :

Erm, no. Textures are way too low-res. The laser scanned version with proper textures will be much better.

Offcourse it will be, but with AC's graphics engine, HDR, sun effects etc, everything looks awesome, take Joux Plane as an example, 10 years old, still looks photo-realistic when you drive...

@ troy

Thanks, yeah i did something in the settings, not sure if it's the shadows that helped, but it's much more enjoyable now.

Still having these stutters on 0.50 versions and i really don't want to turn off the mirrors cause it really kills the immersion for me. Tried playing with frame limiter on and off, turned down some graphic settings but it still stutters Looks so damn good though, this can easily be the official version if some curbs looked more modern and a few tweaks here and there..
