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

It didn't this patch, but it did the last patch. Its the first thing I check for now

Quote from sinbad :

Given the cars you listed as suggestions for fwd cars to include, I think you're asking for it by calling the sls a woman's car.

Although I suppose you've deleted all those suggestions because they're all slower than "pace car speed"

It's a road car, a GT, not sure what else you'd expect, or why it's a bad choice for the game.

Sin...I love your opinion and always respect you, but did you read my post....properly? I am not flaming the car, just where does it fit in AC. My examples is from only what I see in real life...trust me, there is a few Merc's around here with, no offence, women drivers that have just come out of having their hair and nails done and loaded with shopping bags. I am not saying the car handles badly, I wouldn't know, don't own one, so was just asking where does this sit with AC, a racing Sim or drive around looking posh sim, that's all.

Jeez, I get flamed for saying a car is shit, I get flamed for saying nothing about a car....I also get flamed for even mentioning anything that might even be contractive or asking opinions. I give up

Quote from R3DMAN :

racing simulator...

racing is just racing to finish first.. it doesnt matter what cars you use.. lawnmowers, shopping trollies, etc..

Including a stop off at a Tesco's Express on the way then

Assetto Corsa. your one stop shop for everthing you need.....HA HA


Fordie

Right...being realistic here and would like all your opinion.....is AC a "racing simulator" or now a posh blonde women's shopping simulator? This is a car I would associate with a lady, that is married to somebody with loads of money, and doing a shop at Marks and Spencer's. Ok I know this is the pace car for a lot of series, but do we want to race at pace car speed?

This car, I would more associate with the game Test Drive, driving around, wind in your hair, catching some rays....not sweating your ass off, trying to beat the next lap record...call me cynical but this is seriously a women's car driven at the speed limit and has shopping bags in the boot....if it has a boot.

Personally, I am getting the feeling that AC is loosing it's grip in where it wants to go and in what direction. To me, the void is being left to the modders, the people that don't get paid to excite everybody else with "real" racing cars.

I am actually not degrading the RWD...for a change, I am giving this a fair chance, but just given you all, my honest opinion.

I did see that and thought, is the suspension really that soft on those things, never driven one, never been to Russia. Does it come with a motion sickness bag

Quote from sinbad :

You got an Abarth 500 for a courtesy car? That's a generous dealership. I've driven the esseesse version and I thought it was really good fun actually.

It was all they had, and my company booked it (Company Car), but when you come from a Chev Cruise Turbo, it was small, all plastic inside, and handled like beached Whale. it had more Rolls than Greggs, and I was just bombing around the city and Dual Carriageway, just to give it a blast.

Yeah at first it made me giggle...but a "this is cute" giggle

Fordie

@Sinbad....I have found out why people don't drive the Fiat 500 in AC....because it is just as bad in real life. I got given one today as a courtesy car while mine was being serviced....and OMG they are bad...very bad

Quote from ACCAkut :

Nobody is hating on japanese cars there Scroll through this list, plenty of japanese cars in the works. But it takes time. You could of course go the easy way and help yourself to a readily available model from Forza, DiRT or whatever and build your physics for that. Would be illegal tho (like the Escort, M3, Civic and Golf Mk3 available for download in this thread ...)

Cool, thanks for that list ACCAkut, never seen that before. There is some great one's in there, just hope the physics matches drivability

And just to confirm, I don't hate RWD or single seaters for that matter, just IMO we have enough to throw a stick at already, so a bit more variety (more single seaters for example, like a FF1600) or the like would be a great welcome....Not everything has to have ,000's of horse power to be fun. I just wanted to add, that I have a family background with Grass Roots/low budget racing, but never had the opportunity to do it myself. There has only been one game that did this, and that was Toca 2 (Formula Ford and Fiesta's) all other sim's (not tried RFactor2) concentrated on high end, high powered cars, GT's and F1, so it's not a case of I don't like them, it is my personal preference and a hole in the market that has been missed for a very long time.

Fordie

PS - Talking of which (FF1600) why didn't Kudos convert their own car from Netkar Pro. I never tried it, just saw videos and that looks fun

Just did some more testing (Lotus Evora GTC + Mugello). Framerate seemed pegged at 30fps except in the last sector of the track, where it often dipped to about 20fps. Again, this is with Boris's settings and all apps off (except render stats).

Hmm mine in pegged at 90-100fps, but I don't limit them and my GFX card is not the greatest....it will do but nothing to shout about

Quote from sinbad :

That's not the argument you want to make. The people/public don't want FWD cars. They don't want ordinary cars, they don't want slow cars.

I get that you want a fwd saloon car or hatch back, or an FXO type coupe (maybe the Celica will suffice?). I may have even posted in your thread on the AC forum in support of the idea, but you look a bit daft if you get irate and start calling RWD "bollocks", and seriously, make any argument except that "everybody wants FWD cars, why aren't they listening?" because, really, they don't.

I haven't posted it on AC forum Sinbad...made that mistake in the past, only posted here, and yes, what you posted was more constructive, I agree, but you get my point...Where is the balance here, there isn't any. Official we have 1 FWD car, and what a car to choose, a FWD Fiat...FIAT..come one, but a little bit of balance would be fantastic, a dream I guess, but more RWD...ok I apologise, I didn't mean the word "Bollocks" but at least you knew what I ment...as in more RWD, drifting.....great

Fordie

PS - I beg to differ Sinbad, you read the threads about FWD cars being made from Modders, and people are raving about them, so you comment, people / public don't want FWD is wrong

oh feckin great, more Jap RWD drive cars

Have they not listened to or read some of the threads...FWD....FWD !!!! we want more, but yet they go super car, or this RWD bollocks, that we have more than enough to throw a stick at.....

I thought AC was going to be a sim designed on "what the public, people " wanted and be balanced

After some playing around, I have to agree with R3dman, Croft is to bumpy, so going to drop that for Blackwood

Quote from Biohazard :

unfortunately it does not. have not found a solution in the interwebz yet. :/

That usually means, either the pit boxes are wrong to what the server is set, or the local track name is wrong compared to the server. If you are trying to connect to my server (T7R Best of British) then you need to download croft from my link, as it is named different

If you not connecting to my server, then there is a problem with your track download and what the server has called it
