Might have to get in on this. I take it it's fairly arcade but will my yoke or my joystick work OK?
Never got playing WOT, always fancied it but kinda assumed it was pay to win. I'm gonna give them both a try once my courseworks are finished, anyone play them on triples?

L85 challenge was a pain in the arse, went about 0 - 30 running about like a ****ing idiot with defibs trying to get a kill. I find that if I only play this game in short blasts I find it much more enjoyable, any more than an hour at a time and I always start getting more and more pissed off at some of the stupid mechanics.
That video is a joke, looks like a ****ing terrible lap, all over the place with missed apexes, nearly spinning out.
Why not with a console pad? have a little aiming help like COD/BF and it would work perfectly. This auto aim to head 1 bullet kill is why my PS3 hasn't been on in 3 weeks.
I've played every battlefield since 1942, loved that, and 2, I even ended up in the beta for 2142 and loved that aswell. I quite liked 3 for the madness, but 4 is just more of the same, only worse to be honest. Never actually liked CS, but always loved COD up until about 6 probably. It is OK to like more than one FPS you know, although if CODUO was on Frostbite I would never play anything else. Also MOH:AA was the daddy back in the day, but hasn't aged well.
COD2 is still £15 on Steam, unbelievable. Installing it off the disc right now, wonder how it will cope with a 5760x1080 resolution.

Have COD2 sitting there on disc actually, will probably install it. What I really want is the exact gameplay of Cod:UO with a modern graphics engine, COD2 is pretty close to be honest.
Been trying to get into this BF and really can't, as much as I want to. The maps are terrible, the lag is terrible (at least 50% of the time me and the other guy kill each other at the same time, or around corners etc...), crashes maybe every 2 games if I'm lucky, and I just cannot make myself like it. I'm pretty gutted, the new CoD is obviously terrible, Arma is good for ****ing about but not online, and now BF isn't very good either. What am I supposed to shoot things on?
Insurance isn't actually that bad, at 22 years old I'm paying just under £300 a year, fully comp for myself on my 1.8 2008 Focus. The insurance cost is only 1/16th of the price of the car. Sure, I went through a couple of years of pain, but my first insurance was £1200 and has been going down ever since, but that's only fair with the amount of new drivers who crash. Of course, that's because any ****ing idiot can do 5 lessons and pass our ridiculous driving test, but that's another problem.
I found this aswell, just understeers like crazy with the S1 upgrade. It says in the blurb somewhere that (paraphrasing) the springs are much stiffer front than back for a certain reason, so that would explain the handling.
6 years ago I got an Astra Mk4 for my first car, 1.6 so a little more power than your average breathless 1 litre, cheaper insurance, 5 doors and a bit more room than your average. Done me very well, cost me about £200 over 6 years and built me up a shit load of no claims, letting me now get something decent. It sounds a bit mental, but usually a 1.6 "family car" will be far cheaper to insurance than your usual first driver cars, clios corsa fiestas etc.
Going on as a named driver isn't clever, it may save you a few quid now but it will cost you more with the lack of no-claims. Instead, put your parents on as named drivers on your policy, knocked mine down by a good bit.

1:56.620 F458 @ Imola, after only a few laps with the default set, road tyres. Also with no cutting, but it's far to easy to shave seconds off by ignoring the chicanes.
Looks good, I really like Mugello, only time I've drove on it was in NKP I think but it's a good track.
Wouldn't be surprised if they have all along been holding stuff back, waiting for AC. Unless Dave has turned a pig into the best Tyre Model ever, then it won't be enough for me and for a lot of people.
Apart from the sentence where I said I did, and the multiple people all saying the same thing. If you're not getting any lag, good for you. Always need to get the last word in.
@Eza, yeah that is basically what I've found, turning off AA/AF and getting 200+ just feels so good yet looks so terrible. The engine has a long way to go, I done a few laps in LFS just to remind myself and it really is buttery smooth.
2 day old W8 install so no spyware, SSD with 100GB free. I'm not saying I'm getting crazy stutters or there are any real problems, the lag just annoys me, even at 100+fps. What I'm trying to say is that it was time for a new GPU anyway, 7850 wouldn't do triple screens well, AC was only getting 150fps on min settings (although good amounts of AA) and that just isn't good enough. I made a throwaway comment about needing a new GPU and I get someone trying to tell me how to spend my hard earned. Thanks
. 770 is ticking along very nicely already. It's not like I'm spending a fortune, £260 for 770, sell old GPU for £100, sell bundled games for £40, £120 for a 770 isn't exactly breaking the bank.Modders laser scan tracks? Did you read what he said?
Blueflame, I have a 4670K overclocked to 4.2, the CPU is not the issue. The graphics card isn't clogged with dust, nothing is clogged with dust, my PC has a window and I can't bare to see it, it gets cleaned near enough weekly. The PC performs admirably in everything, so yes, it is AC's problem, and I'm far from the only person to think it feels laggy.
The 7850 might not be the whole issue either, but more GPU grunt cannot hurt. if I turn down the settings and get 130 - 150 FPS, it's still jumpy, juddery and far away from smooth, it cannot maintain a steady framerate. With Vsync on it's smooth at 60fps, but it just feels a little bit laggy. Maybe I'm more sensitive to it, I don't know. I have to run with wheel/arms locked otherwise it throws me off completely with the slight delay. As Kars says, even with high framerates there is still lag, it might only be visual and not input, but it still ****s me up. There are plenty of people saying that it feels a lot smoother and FFB feels better at 200fps+. Personally, this is a very good excuse for me to get rid of this card, it was basically a stop-gap for £150 at the time just to keep me going, now it's time to go back to the green side. For me, having to turn everything down to get it to act smoothly means the card isn't pulling it's weight. I can't imagine playing this game at 50fps.
One thing iR has going for it, is that at 124fps locked it's silky smooth with absolutely no lag to speak of, AC has a long way to go to feel as smooth.
Also Blueflame, stop speaking with some self applied authority about something which you have no idea, it makes you look like a ****ing idiot, although you basically passed that point a long time ago.

Wait, the Pay & Spray glitch didn't get patched?
Agreed, I would take a quickly converted GPL version happily, wouldn't even mind digging out my CD for a pointless check. At some point there was some screenshots of the interface with a Tourist Ring included, so maybe it's worth waiting.
18's on Magione sounds like a great challenge. I'm suffering though with input lag and bad FPS. At the moment vsync is the best way to drive which is pretty brutal, 7850 clearly isn't pulling it's weight so I've just ordered a GTX770, solely for AC. It's depressing how much Sim Racing has cost me over the years.
Obviously never went wide into T2 at Silverstone then, that sausage kerb throws you skywards.
A few people are forgetting aswell that we are getting fortnightly builds with new cars, tracks and features, so hopefully AI and MP won't take too long, although I'm perfectly happy turning laps just now.
I'm loving it, I think it feels absolutely brilliant and 100x better than iRacing even this early. The KTM & the E92M3 are my favourites so far.
Performance isn't great, but it does look good. I've turned it down quite a lot, but I asked Kunos about frame limiting and he said Vsync will give the best experience. I'm usually extremely wary of vsync, but it seems to work great in AC, no lag and smooth as butter graphics.

****ing damn right I'll be taking a punt on this Early Access carry on, it can't be any more Beta than iRacing and I've spent a fortune on that.
Nexus 5, can't really take a picture of it, these pics were taken with it. This thing was a major pain in the arse to build but it's unbelievably comfortable. Next purchase will be another couple of monitors.
