Yeah, it needs major adjustment. The issue is that some of the hardcore iRacing guys will defend it to the last and say the latest model change was a "game changer" and so on. It is still so far off the mark, sadly.

Yeah, some guys create drama to get clicks, and the truth is, people's livelihoods are at stake by the drama, speculation etc. These things being blown out of proportion and then the comments of "what next for LMU" etc, makes out that the development is stopping, and that people shouldn't buy. This makes a dire situation where people are being discouraged from buying a very good product based off some speculative crap. It is very unfair to the hard work the S397 guys are doing and continue to do. They are carrying themselves incredibly well. And as actual humans and professionals, they have my respect.

I fully agree with everything you said. I done some laps in ACC a couple weeks ago, and OMFG...just awful. I used to main the Ferrari 296 in the latest league I was in and it felt so strange. ACC was good when it came out, but I think LMU made some tweaks to the FFB from RF2 and built upon the physics (in RF2 it was quite violent by default). Graphically it is a world apart. I drove the Oreca LMP2 in RFW2 the other day at Sebring, and the inside of that car looks terrible compared to LMU's version. So it has come on leaps and bounds. People saying it is just a RF2 reskin are incorrect too. It is like saying ACC was a reskin of AC.

LMU’s FFB feels awful to me. I which the FFB felt more like rFactor 2. Im using a 15nm Fanatec wheel base.

I think when LMU gets GT3's later this year, the ACC guys will start to dabble...I am almost certain. People love GT3 tin tops.

@@Racingfan101 yeah I think it's the best out there at the moment. And the Ferrari Hybrid noise. 🤤

@@myweirdtaste8090 it is the best sim racing / driving simulator I've ever driven. I think a lot of other news is being pumped out to kill off the game and Motorsport games, and it's so unfair. I see the effort that the team have put into this game, and the game is superb. Once these small issues are ironed out, it will take off.

​@@GSSimRacing100%

my recommendation by playing rfactor2 for more than 10 years now is: Always prioritize FPS instead of graphical quality, for me 120fps is the minimal to feel smooth, so I put a full grid offline and do a race start looking to the fps, if it's lower than 120fps I reduce the graphical quality, this way you'll never have any performance issues.

@@kanolightracer5 my GPU is a Nvidia 3090. I've a i9 12900k and 64GB ram. I did a clean install of the game yesterday and ecerytime I close the game, I verify the files in steam. So far, this seems to be working for me.

@@GSSimRacing wdym by clean install?

@@kanolightracer5 uninstall the game, deleted all folders and reinstalled. The only thing I kept was the user folder for game settings etc

Yeah it does feel pretty nice and the tyre does feel natural. The track limits on the sim really need some adjusting though.

I wonder if this is a known bug. I seen something similar on their discord server. It does appear that it needs some adjustment from the devs. I know RF2 worked their mid game saves off the replay...I wonder if they are doing the same and it is bugging out.

@@GSSimRacing i managed to sort it when i loaded it back up for first time it was like the autosave, so i done a manual save and loaded that, it worked fine

@@marti9 Ah nice to hear. I am thinking about starting a 24 hour at Le Mans over the weekend. I can image how cool it would be driving through the night in game.

@@GSSimRacingthought about doing a 24h as well and seeing how many sesh’s it takes me

Yes, the sim is great, it really is. There are some bugs, and the developers have been incredibly open and transparent with the fixes. A lot of people hate on the DLC launches, but the financial situation at Motorsport Games is very grim. So, if this title is to survive, the DLC was needed for some cash generation.

Hey, yep, back at it as much as I can in between work and so on. How is all with you.

I find the opening laps are very slippy. After about 4-5 laps, the grip really comes on. Especially with a hypercar or LMP2. The first lap in a Hypercar on cold tyres is crazy.

@@mxracinguy5993 I can relate to your thoughts here. One thing with Raceroom that is a weakness is the over forgiving braking and turn in. It feels like superglue in a way. And the weakness with AMS2 is the excessive rear end sliding and wide grip profile of the rear tyre...i think this is why you can drive AMS2 with TC off much of the time. I'm not sure if you've access to the AMS2 beta, but from my initial driving of if, it seems to be a step in the right direction. The car side to side weight shifting and yaw reminded me of how cars react in LMU to weight shift, although the ffb is still AMS2 in feel. So I can only imagine how nice the new version will be once it's released. As a game overall, I do think AMS2 has more to offer. The other let down in Raceroom are the servers are dead for the most part. But again, the physics are still pretty nice and balanced.

​@@GSSimRacing Funny you should the braking. I also try not to have full ABS on and mistakenly chose 'assisted' as I thought it was a lesser degree of ABS. Couldn't understand why the car would lose speed and bog down while on the straights. Took me a while to realize that assisted means the game will apply the brakes for you. And here I was thinking that I was playing a simulator. This sort of gimmick is found in kiddie games like Forza and Gran Turismo where they need to cater to novice drivers by doing the braking and steering for the person holding the controller. Was really surprised that RR had such a feature. I mean, this is supposed to be a sim, right? No, I don't have access to the beta for 1.6, am eagerly waiting. I do get frustrated with many of the cars in AMS2 due to the points you mentioned here, regarding lack of grip and odd rear end movement. If Reiza manages to address these inconsistencies then this with the upcoming update it will be huge. As is, I have to agree that the game falls short of expectations. Prettiness only takes you so far, physics is the key thing in a racing sim. With that said I'm still glad I watched your comparison and d/led RR. The cars are enjoyable to drive. I may invest in a track or two and a couple of cars. I don't dislike the game, I just think it's a far cry from the level of development seen in bigger titles. Hopefully VR won't be a let down (still haven't tested it with the Quest 3). I see RR as AC, nice to own and venture into it occasionally but hardly a game I'd see myself spending much time on.

@@gsam_dad5540 thanks mate. I'm Not sure if it was because of using simhub or something. I also noticed my itm display on the fanatec DD2 froze as well. And I've sort of noticed itm screen issues when I run simhub. So not sure if it's linked. I do also recall experiencing stutters at spa before too, when the game was first launched.

@@mallablurt no it didn't affect the ffb that I can recall. I'm going to try figure out if it's some of the other apps I run, possibly causing it. I have fanalab, simhub for the timing overlay on obs, obs itself, and second monitor. I wonder with so many apps taking telemetry inputs, it could be screwing with stuff.

...so confused by the spin too, I saw nothing too indicate why she went 😝 lead boot??

@@mallablurt no, honestly I'm still surprised by it, 8 hours later 😂. The car felt great and that corner has a fair bit of downforce over the car too, so usually you get a warning when going over the limit. But in this one, she want fast and she went hard. I knew once the traction loss made it into a tank slapper,... I knew she was being pulled out of the barrier. But yeah, there was nothing in the ffb or anything to indicate the traction loss. I'd take that corner 100 times again and it'd never happen. Deffo a strange one.

@@GSSimRacing ...any experience with the Moza R5 Gary?? I'm hoping to pull the trigger very soon? Thought I'd get your view first... 🤔👍🥃

@@racingwithryan214 hey. No I've no filters going on. Just a little compression. I'm using a beyer dynamic headset and the mic is superb. I can also recommend steelseries arctics pro headset with their software. I run that setup on my work laptop and the mic quality with the steelseries sonar software is superb.

@@GSSimRacing Thanks for replying.. which model of BD? I will check out the arctics pro too. Cheers !

@@PandaTony19 yeah I'd love RR to get more online players. I done some laps in the iracing MX5 last night and it didn't behave like a car at all. The lack of rear end grip was just not at all realistic. I have heard iracing are working on the model, so hopefully it improves. Usually rear end grip loss can be more gradual. It's because of a concept called pneumatic trail. Basically as the tyre deforms with lateral loading, the footprint can extend behind the centreline even more. Think of it like more squish across the contact patch. It feels like this is not modeled in iracing and feels like it is modeled in Raceroom. Although I can't say for certain. It's just how it sort of feels. I use iracing for ovals mainly.

@@actarusqc I love the DTM cars from the mid 2010s. Have a soft spot for the M4. And the Formula cars are great. I just wish they'd add tyre damage visuals from locking up.

Yeah, I think with the new update, it has attracted more people to play it and I have seen some more videos on UA-cam from various sim racers. It is cool to see the game coming back onto the scene.

That is interesting. I could certainly notice how smoother the RaceRoom track was when compared to the iRacing one. It would be cool to have more scanned tracks to add to the realism/authenticity.

If you can suggest ways that I can make a GT3 car more exciting, please share. I am all for it. . Seriously though, I value your specific feedback, so let me know where I can improve.

​@@GSSimRacingI didn't find the video boring, but if I may give a tip: You do have a habit of saying the same things multiple times, just in a slightly different way. Again, meant as constructive criticism. Keep up the good work.

@@SimCurves Thanks for that feedback. I will pay attention to this. 🙏

I don't agree. I don't need to be excited by every video. Sometimes I just want to hear an honest opinion as it happens, unscripted.

@@ravey1981 thanks for the feedback. I guess I don't "plan" or script my videos. I'm not a UA-camer and UA-cam is not a source of income for me etc, it's a place to just share my passion for sim racing with everyone. So sometimes the videos may not be as clean or as well presented as some other guys who have a UA-cam career, or, rely on UA-cam to support them financially. I think this kind of allows me to remain honest and unbiased. I've no vested interest in bigging up or tearing down a sim or brand and scripting around that. Although, if anywhere I can improve or make the vids better, I'm all for ideas. Although it's not my main focus (UA-cam) , I still would like guys to find value and perhaps some level of entertainment or tips and tricks etc. All this being said, I'm very grateful that everyone is here offering feedback and sharing the discussions on the videos etc. It makes it all worth while. 😊🙏

I think this could be their live track thing. Basically, the cars driving over the same line can impact the grip. I know from ovals; this is over-done. The tyre model is a bit odd in races in my experience too.

Yep, ACC felt like a robotic arm trying to turn the wheel. Very harsh and direct. Feels quite weird when coming from different sims. I found that tough as ACC was my main competitive sim before.

@@GSSimRacing As for AMS2, just try taking the BMW M4 GT3 out on Imola in Raceroom first and then AMS2 and you will feel what I mean.

I've only been into this 12 months now and love both Raceroom and original AC but ACC I just cannot seem to gel with at all. I'm always being told it is the most realistic for GT3 and such but i don't find it a pleasurable driving experience at all. Maybe i just need to spend more time adjusting to the feel of it.

considering how good the ffb is in the og AC you have to wonder if the ffb short comings in acc are connected to unreal engine

@@braveheart4603 i think the gt 3 cars in ac feel better than acc.. last seasons lfm had a mod 296 series for ac and it was a joy to drive.. im also been in to sim racing for less than a year

Yep I do think the raceroom sounds are superb. The little pops and bangs from the exhaust just add to the experience. Sounds will be a matter of preference sometimes too.

I have driven the beta - not for media version. Of some of the cars I have driven, the cars seem to be less reliant on the rear end for rotation...and the front end seems to have a limit. I will wait until the full release, but the current version of the main game does appear to have excessive sliding. Almost to the point of drifting.

Yeah, I am not sure how I feel about that. I mean, the majority of cars are tin tops and not formula cars. And a lot of the fun is in attacking the track and trying to grab a tenth here and there. I have done some online ranked races and found track limits to be a bit of a draw away from fun. It is like I was positioning the car as opposed to attacking and pushing.

Yeah, the driving feel is certainly among the best. I have since done 2 Mazda rookie races and the gap across the line in every race was less than 2 seconds across the top 3. In fact, in one race at Brands Hatch, we were 3-wide into the final 2 corners. . The racing and netcode seems to be the best of any sim so far.

That is good to know. What was the feedback from the community on such an approach? I personally think that because the surface interaction is so good and satisfying, curtailing the heavy use of kerbs is a bit of a questionable move. I think having the pained kerb as the track limit makes more sense. This will allow a driver to enjoy attacking the track, while still having a reasonable track limit. What are your thoughts?

@@GSSimRacing People do find it tricky, but I think most regulars got used to it by this point. It makes race preperations a bit easier, since you don't have to test what's acceptable on corner by corner basis. You can still use the curbs pretty heavily, you can put almost the whole car on the curb still, as long as at least one wheel is on the white line, so it's just a matter of getting used to it. Also getting couple offtracks is not a huge deal in races, the incident limits in ranked are relatively lenient, and you only get slow downs from actual larger cuts, not from running tiny bit wide.

RaceRoom is class. I think variety they are similar, AMS2 probably has a slight bit more. But from a physics perspective, RR does appear to behave more naturally.

Very similar to the new Avus circuit. Nice track, but if T1 goes wrong, it goes very wrong

maybe from gran turismo players their physics sucks a bit still, they still can't fix some issues that came with pc2 engine which is funny

I try to separate FFB from the physics. While the FFB is important as it tells us what the car is doing, the physics is more about what the car actually does (ignoring FFB feel). FFB was superb in both, I always thought AMS2 is among the best in FFB, as in, it is telling me what the car is doing. The issue is, what the car is doing is not always the most realistic when it comes to the slip angle of the rear and the overly strong front bite. It is a minor thing of course, I still think AMS2 is a great simulator. Hopefully with v1.6 it takes another step forward.

How does FFB fix the weird physics? I see this mentioned a lot but FFB and physics are different things all together. At least Reiza have admitted to the issues with the physics and are looking to address it.

@@TypeRTeg This. No sim is perfect, but I do love Reiza constantly try to refine and improve their game. It's a passion project for them and we're all lucky to be a part of their work.

Thanks for that. Yeah, I still think the limits need adjusting. The penalty is riding the kerb too much can lead to a loss of control as I since found out. Excessive cutting should be stopped of course, but there had been a good few occasions where the track limits was obviously too strict. I assume this is a simple fix to modify the boundary lines.
