Assetto Corsa X-Bow R on Silverstone International

Yes you can do multiple hotlaps, makes sense doing it in that mode I guess seeing as that's what we're doing. Yeah the racing is going to be sweet. Wonder how long it will be before that gets added? Pick a combo then d00d let's see where we are with the GT2's

Oh and for the BTCC, I'm not sure if you can access it there but it's shown here as well. This is like the iplayer but for another channel we have here that shows BTCC. It's awesome actually when there is an event on they show all 3 BTCC races and all support races, it's on the whole day. Pretty sweet.

I'm all for it if there's a way to turn off that stupid ghost car thing, otherwise it'll have to be practice and the honor system.

Yeah you can turn off the ghost car, it's the first thing I did. I agree it is very distracting and completely pointless

So, what track/car combo are we doing?

 

[Kenadian]

Sorry d00d I'm in the process of changing ISP's atm so my Internet is a bit "off and on".

We're probably going to do M3 GT2 at Imola, Hotlap and 5 lap string.

I'll post a new topic about it shortly.

OK I managed to drop this down to a 1:16.540 so I'm under 1 second off the pace now.

Nice, bet that felt good! I think it'll be pretty close racing once multiplayer support is enabled, hopefully I'll have a wheel and pedals by then (after christmas). If not I'll just use my microsoft wheel and pedals

I'm still making changes to both the game settings, mostly FOV and Seat Positon, as well as Game Peripheral Settings which seems to be making the biggest differences.

Hopefully these little changes help make me more competitive.

I'm going to match your time little P or die trying lol.

Yeah although I haven't played around with FOV yet, I may well do after watching a couple of pootube videos on the subject... interesting stuff. Have you done the mathematical calculation for it or are you going on feel?

p.s. I want you to beat my time - never give up

I'll beat your time, it'll just take me some additional effort and a lot more practice. The X-Bow is my first open wheel racer in any game, ever, so I'm still adjusting to these characteristics.

The FOV and Seat Position are based off how I view the world behind the wheel of my own car. Originally, I was sitting too far back and just couldn't see corners well so I was messing up on entry.

I'm still very much behind the wheel and can see the top of the wheel but I can no longer view the speedometer without looking down (as it should be).

I also have to reduce the sensitivity in Track IR some because my head movement side to side is too liberal. In racing you don't have the range of movement I do currently but getting that right is proving a bit difficult.

So far, Assetto Corsa has proved the most challenging to setup properly with Track IR.
