I have an S2 license, and I Pyrlix also does, but he was unable to take part in the last 2 races.
We could even have fun with the S1 license since it add 2 more tracks with loads of variants and a bunch of new cars.
I still think the SimBin package is a better deal for you money though.
[quote=“Microwave”]Perhaps we shouldn’t just limit it to racing games. What about more casual things in which we have private lobbies for the lot of us?
I’m ok with it staying strictly racing games only though, because I have plenty. The hardest part for me is finding the time to join you all…[/quote]
I know a few of us played GTA 5 together, but it’s not a game I like to play in large groups since you regularly end up with a few guys having connection problems of some sort.
I know a few also play CS:GO, if you are into that.
If people had Xbox One’s we could use forza 6, as that’s all I have (Due to Craptop) but I’d love to get more involved with the community outside of automation itself.
The issue with console racing games is that if you don’t have the console, it’s a bit expensive to get started.
Older sims like LFS and Race07 run on pretty much everything, and the only things you really need is the game itself, which is around 40$ for an LFS S2 license, or around 10$ for the simbin pack on sale, as well as a controller which is around 50$ for a wired Xbox 360 controller or pretty much 0$ if you already own a PS3/PS4.
Still, from talking with others on the IRC, I suspect that Assetto Corsa is the sim most people here own, although it requires a somewhat decent PC to run it.
Plus, there aren’t many proper controllers for it, especially for xbox. And you can’t attach three monitors to it. These two drawbacks disqualify consoles in my eyes as a simracing hardware.
How about Project CARS? Am I the only one owning a copy?
Here is the replay from the main race, it goes in you data LFS/Data/mpr folder.
My race was all right with the exception of 3 laps, first my pc decide to minimise the LFS window, which made me crash head first into a wall. Another effect of changing the active window is that LFS looses the wheel calibration, at first I just drove with the wheel at roughly 180 degrees. Until at the next corner it did it again. This I got lucky and only got a trip in the sandbox. Now I was driving with the wheel offset at about 90 degrees, which I did for half a lap before stopping and turning my wheel all the way one way and the other.
The other bad lap on the other hand was completely my own fault, I simply ran out of talent, ended out going wide in a corner, drove over some grass and scrapped a wall slightly. Sadly in the last few laps, I never really got quite back in the groove I had been in, between the two incidents. (not the it would have made a difference)
Regrading the future, personally I own the simbin pack (I only think I have tried GT legends) and Asseto Corsa, the latter is at the limit of what my PC will run.
pCars on the other hand runs at single digit FPS when there is more than one car on track.
