Karl, your car looked pretty good to me through the esses, but then again consider the source. Toward the end, though, I could see a bit of wobble, but your car control kept that largely under check. Nice vids!

Here is the first race, and a good lesson on how not to run the first lap. I was lucky I didn't crash out. But then, fell into a solid rythm (if too late) and had some good dices with the A.I.

Glad it went ok, look forward to seeing the videos. Disappointed to miss out having run around 50 laps practice for it but it's always likely to happen at this time of year with late unexpected visit, etc.

I find the ai in this game a really good challenge and good to have involved with the small grids.

With the Indy race happening right in the thick of the holidays I'm unlikely to make that one either which is a shame as the last one there was fun.

Catch ya's online real soon though hopefully.

Be a shame for you to miss that one too Peter, at least you dont really need to practice or level up for it. Hope you can get on for a quick race it will be a blast!!!

Yeah I'll just have to see Michael, the Christmas period is always full of family stuff so it really depends on who is at mine that weekend and the one after with it being the first of the New Year.

Nice video's guys . I got to get something to record my races. I want a capture device but all my money has been spent on the kids Xmas. Plus the new TV (to my dismay ) doesn't have any Outs. I do have a camera but it will only record for 25 mins. I don't know if it will except a bigger SD card, but I'll have to give it a try. Now that I have my rig I can just put the camera right on top of it I think.

Anyone have Shift 2. Peter and I have ordered it (I liked it a lot, but thought you needed a good amount of fiddling with your wheel and the tuning to get the cars to feel right). We can always run races just as a Club thing, but I'm not sure why has it. Something to do on off Saturdays. Not really for competition, but for fun...no standings. Or maybe during the days if it's just interest outside the U.S.

 

[Karl Fuss]

I don't think i have it, but i'll check. I have purchased a few games over the years that i didn't play much... can't remember the titles.

 

[Peter Hooper]

Got my copy on Saturday and had a first run out yesterday and love it. A bit early to say but I think I will like it more than Autosport.. helmet cam blows my mind. Fantastic job

 

[Michael Watts]

might have to pick it up at gamestop used. Shift 1, was't that good, and I never gave 2 a try.

Well at the price it's at now you can't go wrong. Maybe I've been hoodwinked by the London track lol but so far I've just loved it so that's all I can go by at the moment.

Shift 2 was slated to be a "sea change" and a "real SIM" upon release. The EA gremlins got into it and spoiled the handling a bit, but with your wheel Michael, it's not going to be an issue. As long as it doesn't break. lol. I think you would particularly like it because the focus is almost completely on tin tops.

 

[Pär Öqvist]

I have a similar issue. But for me I can´t map my brake on my HE Sim Ultimates. They are on the X-axis. Maybe some conflict with the steering ID? If I had installed the new control box it would be as simple as to plug in the brake where I have my clutch I suppose.

vjoy adds input lag I suspect so I am not sure I want to do that. May be wrong.

I also have problem with my clubsport shifter. I can only use it in sequential mode if I choose H-pattern I get "unassigned" as buttons when registering them. And it doesnt work.

Indianapolis Motor Speedway Oval (2.5 miles)
Race #1: Random order mixed with no A.I. (20 laps)
Race #2: Finishing order from Race #1, no A.I. (20 laps)
Race #3: Finishing order from Race #2, no A.I. (20 laps)
As you know, A.I. can be dangerous, and on a super-speedway, it is virtually impossible to compete while they are present. Be sure to pick your car well and stay out of trouble.
Lobby to open at 3:45pm U.S. Eastern and informal practice sessions may take place before, however, the race will start on time. Late drivers may join after qualifying or any race is complete. Your host will be: Robert Waddell / OctoberDusk06. Please sign up with your name and gamertag and be sure to friend request October if you are racing. Good luck!

Points System
Points: 1-25; 2-18; 3-15; 4-12; 5-10; 6-8; 7-6; 8-4; 9-2; 10-1
(Each Race scores points)

Race Format
Oval Races:
Only loaner cars are eligible because of the performance variances between the conditioning. You will be allowed three (2) flashbacks during each race. Flashbacks set you back about 5 seconds before the "incident" took place that you wish to redo. You should be ghosted during this process. You may use them at any time, but best to use them if you get severely damaged or killed. Races will start from a standing start

Each race is of equal distance an will take about 15 minutes to complete, depending on various factors.

NOTE:
- The game will not allow pit stops
- Flashbacks WILL be allowed at oval races (2 each race) but not at other races.
- Damage will be “full”
- Collisions will be “on”
- Tuning will be "off" for oval races and loaner cars must be used.
- No A.I. for ovals.

Be careful because the game does not allow pit stops, so repeated damage (indicated by icons on the right lower HUD and progressive in increments of yellow then red) due to a well developed damage model could seriously compromise your race.

Upgrades: Disallowed
View: Any
Gears: Manual or Automatic
Assists: Disallowed

LOANER CARS -- Eligible for this race:
Open Wheel Class; Formula A
Dallara Indy Car

installed vjoy gut it running but with odd bugs. When trying to change button configuration I get inverse button 6 selection all the time. Seem to go a bit better if I press the clutch some!

I mapped my throttles to y and z axis but they both show as Z? Maybe I run combined pedals now? It does work though. Interesting that there is a clutch+h-shifter option but no way to map the clutch.

I still can´t map my Clubsport shifter for the H-pattern. Sequential does work still also with Vjoy.

 

[Pär Öqvist]

Doesn´t look so. Ran into similar issues. Running brand hatch in an endurance cup I by misstake hit race instead of practise or qualify. Hoped I would be able to start over but got a DNF. Nothing wrong with that though will get new chances. It´s kind of realistic afterall. What would really be groundbraking is no restarts whatsoever

 

[Pär Öqvist]

Dunno about simmy but there is some requisites for arcade titles this miss.

Rubber band effect. It´s not very pronounced in this game at all. I was running an endurance event just waiting for the AI to loose all grip and let me win on the last lap. I lost a couple of places on my really worn tires instead! - sim

Steering is optimized for gamepads but it does work quite well but yes this is arcade.
I can´t map my separate usb pedals correctly - arcade

hard as heck - simulation

I am getting owned like crazy in endurance with a crappy mclaren at brands hatch on hard. This should be my forte . Hockenheim I struggled too but if everything whent my way I could have gotten 4th. Seriously need to choose series where I can adjust the setup it looks like to be competitive. And you actually need to practise to win races unlike GT 5 or ridge racer or burnout paradise. There is actually physics you must learn.

Previous race in an open wheeler went better for me however still did not win easilly. But I should not be able to drive open wheelers fast at all.

 

[Karl Fuss]

I likely won't make this one unfortunately. It's my mothers birthday and we usually take her out for dinner.

Sorry to hear that Karl, you'll be missed. Was hoping we would have a good sized field for this one.
