General Chit-Chat

And in case of misuse, there will be corporal punishment.

 

I think that's just a rumor spread by some petty officer.

 

There seems to be plenty of people who love ACC FFB, so I'm sure ACE FFB will be fine for a lot of them, but it's definitely the biggest disappointment for me, especially as there is no reason to expect that this is one of those "early access things" that is expected to change.

I just had my second session on ACE, this time tried the Mazda, Audi and BMW M2 and my impression was exactly as my first try, I don't find the the driving inspiring/engaging at all and one of the biggest reason is how the FFB feels, I just cannot get immersed in the experience... the built damping feels like having sex with way too thick condom (as a man). I want to feel more, I want to feel road texture, engine vibrating (for some, those are noise, but to me those are the thing make me feel like I'm driving a car and not a simulator/game), I want to feel what the rear of the car is doing etc.

 

I wasn't, it's exactly as unfinished as I expected it. If they manage to achieve their roadmap for fall, great, but it will take much longer before it's mature title.

I honestly think they should have delayed it more, this definitely feels like a demo, especially considering that that it's lacking multiple player or even race weekends.

 

Luckily i got it with gift cards i had so no loss for me but id say its utterly disappointing. How anyone can think the ffb is good is beyond me. The tires feel like they are made out of wood and even curbing feels totally digital. It still has the same if you hit a marker it tries to flip the car from AC. It always feels like im driving a go kart with rock hard tires. Then when something does happen it feels baked in not at all a natural move in a real car But im sure it will sell well because its super easy to be fast at this point. Unless something changes drastically it will be a title ill play once in a while for fun but ill never take it seriously.

 

you guys think we will get the 992 Porsche Cup Version somewhat soonish ?
Would be a great fit

 

I tried AC EVO again last night. If you take every slider for the wheel and turn them off its ok. Not great but ok. I see why guys like it but its not for me. Everyone that likes it says how you can really feel the car but i think they are mistaking not being able to make a mistake for that. Unless you completely overdrive the car you cant make a bad mistake. Even then pretty much everything is savable. That and every car i drove pretty much felt the same. Just jump in and go no learning how the car behaves at all before you start pushing.

 

It’s all subjective I suppose , I really like the feel I’m getting on my DD base and the cars feel like they have a proper weight to them especially felt under braking. It looks very nice but I am running everything maxed out and I know it can get ugly with lower settings.
Interested to see where it goes , I’ll split my time between them all depending on what I’m after.

 

Im guessing you arent using vr?

 

No , I have a VR headset and have dabbled with it in AMS2 and ACC but I’ve never been a massive fan as I get too hot and I like to see my wheel and button box etc.

 

Youre lucky its actually way worse than ACC at this point With a 7950x3d,4090 and 64gb memory im lucky to get 70fps and it looks worse than AC. To be fair the interiors look good and so does the background but the cars look like crap. But even the good is no wheres near as good as any other title in recent years. My only hope is they picked open xr to add all the stuff you should be able to do with it. So maybe there is hope there.

 

Performance unfortunately got worse with the faster cars, so I uninstalled for now and have restarted my lifelong goal to have satisfying FFB in ACC

 

Yeah I definitely couldn’t put up with that, I’m a bit fussy when it comes to image quality plus it would probably make me feel sick haha.
I was always worried that if I spent too much time in vr in race sims I would struggle to go back to screens so in a way I’m glad I can’t.

 

Luckily its pretty much locked at that frame rate so it doesnt make me want to puke.lol Since going to vr there is no way i can go back to flatscreens. I actually have a hard time driving on a flatscreen now without the depth perception from vr.
