It works now

I got to like this fat car, still wish it gave me more feedback but i guess that's how it is irl..

A lap on Brno (still my favorite custom track)

Quote from CodeLyoko1 :

I understand what you mean. FFB is one of the reasons I stopped my sub. It just feels so clunky

Then what's the secret with it's success? Is online that good, is it the psychological thing cause you pay for it, which automatically means "it must be good"?

I got to try that Istanbul Park from scratch, my god it's good. It's like official content.. He'll release it to public soon.

Am i hatin' or is force feedback really bad?

You mean max frame latency? It hasn't been changing to 0 for a good number of patches..

After-patch placebo is wearing down a bit.. but i'm still not sure this was an improvement when it comes to FFB and tires..

So what combo do you guys suggest to try in order to experience this in 'best light', from this free offer combos that is. MX5 is like vanila rFactor feeling wise..

That first setup was annoying but ok, not so complicated. I thought i've calibrated the wheel properly, but MX5 is giving me only 90 degrees of rotation to each side, is that normal? The feeling and FFB is pretty much awfull if this is all there is to it. All aids off etc..

Can this iPaying be any more complicated, just shut up and let me test it.. jesus. It's free for three months now, so finally decided to check it out.

New FFB feels awesome to me.

Why do i feel more disconected then ever

It's not, so far.. didn't give it very much testing though.

Yeah, no Spa.. SLS is ok i guess, sounds are rFactor on/off samples. Not very much feedback going throught that wheel.. Other changes like FFB and tires, are maybe there.. didn't noticed anything major.

It's funny how there are still no clear rules when it comes to racing and overtaking lol. Always, and i mean always when there's an incident there are 100 different opinions of what is correct and what isn't.

Wow, have no idea what it is then. It definitely shouldn't be like that. Maybe some process or a virus is eating your performance..

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

I only use OV1 and the F1 HUD. Turned them both off and it didn't seem to make much difference.

Tried Boris's settings and the difference wasn't as big as I thought it'd be (with one car on track, anyway), but it was still a slideshow vs. what I had before (when it wasn't stuttering).

Boris, I hadn't been using a framerate limiter, but I set it to 60 fps and it didn't seem to make any difference.

You have to delete the F1 HUD altogether! I didn't have it on screen either, but it still killed the performance.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Wonder what my issue is, then... any ideas what it might be?

I know the biggest hogs are shadows, faces per frame and smoke. Try playing with those. What fps limit do you have? I was in that train "more then 100 fps is neccessaryzz!", but really it's not. 54 fps locked is great, someone said that somewhere (couple of frames below your screen refresh rate) and it really is enough.
And yes the apps, i had that OV1's F1 HUD, that was causing awfull stutters and i didn't even knew it's because of that. I thought they messed something up with latest patches.. but i stumbled upon a thread that said to remove that app, and i don't have anymore stutters.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

So I'm currently running a Core i5 2500K processor and an AMD HD 6950 video card. In AC, I'm getting occasional brief freezes and framerate fluctuations, even on original Kunos tracks and cars. I'm running with 2X AF/AA, very high detail, low shadow res, normal mirror res, normal smoke, and effects turned off.

So I think it's time for an upgrade.

Anyone got any tips as to which upgrade would offer the most bang for the buck? (I'm assuming GPU, but you never know.) I'd like to keep my overall upgrade budget under US $300.

That's a more powerfull PC then mine (Phenom 965, Radeon 6870), i run 16 AF, 8AA, world detail max, shadow low, mirror normal, smoke off, PP Set 1 (default ingame), faces per frame 2. And frames locked at 54. It's perfectly fine and drivable...

Screw all that, i just found a new favorite car, Exige S Roadster, too good..

Yeah, but i'll probably go for it.. Love Caterhams.

If someone wants to do LX8 physics for ac I can do the car model

There's going to be Caterham CSR from the Cobra folks

Quote from sinbad :

Nico looks second rate during virtually every wheel to wheel fight.

This. To "prove a point"? Point that you're stupid and don't know the racing rules..

Those Spa teases on their Facebook page btw, makes me wet. It's pretty certain it's coming this friday!
