Agreed. Pretty disappointed after reading comments here. Car is numb, no feel, and get more than 10 degrees sideways and you're gone. FFB is driving me crazy too with rattle etc.
Sweet, impressive considering you only get ONE practice lap.
Yeah street tyres are better, thanks. Still lots of traction, but not quite as ridiculous.
Is it seen as a known issue with the devs?
Haven't managed to play much of AC lately, but after jumping on today, I have a question. Am I the only one who thinks all the cars have too much tractive grip? I can floor the throttle in 1st gear in the M5 for example and barely have any wheelspin. I've got TC off of course. It's the same deal in every car. I feel like I can stamp on the power without worry.
I'll try because it's so simple:
Power = Torque X RPM
So more revs for a constant Torque = more Power
More Torque for a constant RPM = more Power
Torque is the turning force of the engine at a specific RPM.
Power is a product of both Torque and RPM in combination.
Therefore:
An engine producing 200 NM of Torque at 9000 RPM will provide identical acceleration (if geared accordingly) as an engine producing 100 NM of Torque at 18000 RPM. Assuming the RPM curves of both engines are proportional.
Yes I am bored and yes I'm going to bed.

I'm with Boris here, anything other than having the view looked in position is unrealistic in my opinion.
It creates a massive disconnect if onscreen the dashboard etc is moving around under g-forces whilst the steering wheel we're holding and the chair we're sitting in is locked in position.
In a real car there is no such disconnect, everything is locked in position and space within the car. It's also why I believe the motion simulators on the market which move only the seat and leave the screen, steering wheel and pedals in a static position to be equally illogical and disconnecting.
Generally speaking I'm very impressed with AC so far. I've not got a very good system (E5300 and 4770) so I'm running with a low resolution (1280x720) and minimum settings, but getting about 70 fps which is drivable.
All cars feel really intuitive and stable to drive, my only concern is how much understeer all the cars inherently seem to have. I really have to be aggressive to unsettle the rear, even with the Lotus 49. It feels like there is too much traction most of the time.

Does anyone know how I change the FOV? Thanks
Edit: Nevermind, found it in Documents\Assetto Corsa\cfg\camera_onboard.ini
Seems it's vertical FOV also.

A lot of the time it is indeed the screen / display which is responsible for severe input lag. GT5 definitely suffers from noticeable input lag, even with a responsive monitor, but playing it on most LCD TV's makes things massively worse. The last two years which I've made the GT Academy finals they have always used large TV's with huge amounts of lag...
Yeah I don't like this either. I've certainly never experienced it in real life.
Hehe cheers, yeah unfortunately for me they went with the "safe" option I think in the end. I guess to go with me would have been too risky - although I felt like I was more than capable! Was pretty gutted at the time to miss out on the final race with the other regions but it's their competition at the end of the day and it was an awesome week to say the least. :P
Ok so you have to edit the ini files in my docs.
Still getting bigtime input lag though. 60fps should be plenty but atm its terrible.

I have everything running at minimum.
Getting 60 fps but huge input lag. Not cool, and can't really judge anything until I get that sorted. Also, how do I alter the fov?
Some insane packaging with the Williams. Ugly but amazing in an engineering sense.
Yeah the dogfight was probably even more exciting when it actually happened. It was actually a best of 3 shootout. Tom won the first, Des won the 2nd, and Tom led then spun in the final.
Shows how sad a state of affairs real life motorsport is though. :P

First episode of the UK broadcast of the latest EU GT Academy. Not the best quality, youtube decided to reduce what was already a mediocre ITV Player rip.
Next one on ITV4 tomorrow at 8pm.

Agreed with the posts above about increasing "on power" differential locking, but also increasing front ARB will increase the load on the outside tyre and decrease the load on the inner one, worsening the problem. A lower front ARB / stiffer rear ARB should help.
@rocklan, I wouldn't say it's "wheelspin" you are experiencing since most people attribute that to on throttle conditions only. But off throttle oversteer can be fixed in many ways in the F1, including increasing the engine braking reduction, increasing differential preload and coast locking. Obviously moving brake bias forward can help too. :P

If you go here: http://www.iracing.com/live/ you can view a stream of previous races by clicking on archive, so you don't need to wait for them to download. As for which races are best to watch, they are all fairly equal in excitement tbh.
The tuned 370z used for the final time trial at Motegi has horrible understeer too, and numb FFB (overly heavy). You have to be quite positive on turn in otherwise it just plows. Still fun though, currently 30th globally, but it's early days. I wouldn't be surprised if the top time in 2 weeks is a 30.5 (hopefully no faster then that!).
