Can't agree with ya there - R3E feeling like a boat or feeling nothing. GSCE and R3E are my two favorite sims at the moment but I like the feel in both. There are a few tracks in R3E that are pretty smooth but just finished a GSCE Mini Challenge race (continuing a Championship) at Curitiba then a R3E race with a 92' Mercedes DTM on Zolder, both great feel and fun. Overall I would say GSCE is more consistent but R3E is catching up patch by patch. I've spent a lot of time in both.
It's about time you bought GSCE, it has to be in every sim racers library!
Maybe something's wrong with my settings, but I don't think so. It felt very disconnected like my tires weren't connected to the road, or like the road was an air hockey table. I've always felt this, but since I've spent most of my time lately playing R3E I had gotten used to it and didn't notice it as much. As long as I don't play GSCE first then R3E will be fine, but apparently I can't go from GSCE to R3E as I struggled to even complete a lap around Zolder last night (and yes, it was very "bumpy" but it felt more like going over speed bumps on an ice skating rink). I'm not saying one is better than the other, just that they're completely different ways of doing the same thing and it's difficult for me to jump from one to the other. R3E's FFB just feels like it's missing something critical, their old titles felt great but this one isn't up to the same quality yet.
And that's exactly why I held off on GSCE. I tried the demo a few months ago and loved it, but I knew if I got it right away then I'd likely start neglecting the other games I had paid for (R3E and AC) because I like GSCE so much better. It's FFB is alive and feels very planted to the ground, you can easily feel weight transfer and tire slipping, it's really the way I want FFB to be. But for some reason it's all screwed up on my new install, the formula cars have literally no FFB. I can feel bumps and grooves and the wheel turns in my hand but it has zero resistance even at 100% in game and profiler settings, it feels like the wheel is unplugged. The stock cars and Mini feel fine, nice and heavy with resistance in the turns like it should be, but all of the formula cars are broken and I can't figure out why. I've reached out to Reiza support but had no response. Very disappointing.
One thing i feel and i will get stick here, is that the RRe cars almost feel all the same. Physics wise. Okay some are more sensitive on throttle than others, but apart from that they all feel vague. In gsc this is definitly not the case. try going from the Vee to the mini. whole new driving style
I agree with this 100%. Some cars are a little more lively on the throttle or brake slightly better, but overall every car feels the same. I would expect a 90's Audi Quattro, a modern GT3 car, and a prototype to all have very different feelings and driving characteristics, but if I couldn't see the interior of the car I'd never know which one I was driving because they all feel basically the same. R3E has a lot going for it, but the FFB is going to be its downfall if they don't improve it. I've spoken with several friends who have tried R3E and all of them say the same thing, "I hate the way it feels and uninstalled it".
And I agree with the other thoughts expressed, AC feels very bland and boring compared to either R3E or GSCE. The FFB/physics feel nice, but the rest of the game is meh.
