Racing Simulators

[JJCarEnthusiast]

sino naglalaro ng mga racing simulators dito?

just installed rFactor in my lappie. at first i was so excited about sim. racing because of the realistic racing environment but now i find it very difficult i keep spinning and going off-course. darn my lap times are on the 3-minute range i don't have a steering wheel so I use the keyboard. though i think that it is easier to drive with a steering wheel installed.

still downloading race 07 and richard burns rally. sabi nila ang hirap daw ng RBR..

if you're playing on the PC, Grid and NFS shift comes to mind (arcade type racing).

I'm gonna try rfactor too. looks interesting.

One of the better ones I have tried is an oldie...

Need for Speed Porsche...

you need to set the nfs shift first to realistic settings.

racing simulators are more challenging than arcade type racing games (like NFS). it can also sharpen your driving skills a bit (with a steering wheel) a little delay in braking would make you go off-course if you enter a corner at speeds more than 100km/h, you will definitely go off-course and spin. hahaha frustrating kung minsan..

i even tried a BMW F1 car without even mastering the correct braking and steering of a lower-hp car (lower speed) then there I was, spinning at every 5 meters of the track F1 cars (at least in rFactor) are just too fast lol hahahaha

must try bro, nakaka challenge hahahaha.. a racing simulator-setuped cafe (i saw in TPC forums) uses race 07.. 150/hr with logitech G25 steering wheel.. I want to have a steering wheel din!

Lets keep this thread alive! Trip ko rin kasi ito.

Better get a good steering wheel. For now I own a crappy generic one. Until now ko nga lang napansin mga inperfection nito kaya pala panay over steer din ako. Kung naka KB ka for sure panay oversteer ka lalo. Kasi isang hit mo lang ng key para ka nang naka-full break so skid and out of control ka nga.

LFS talaga trip kong game mga 3 yrs na. Hindi ako makahanap ng licensed version at wala naman akong makitang private server para sa crack na version so naghahanap talaga ako ng legit copy.

The official GT5 steering wheel/pedals for the PS3 is the Logitech Driving Force GT. It has a red dial for adjusting sensitivity on the fly.

What got me interested is it's also pc-compatible and one of the few good steering wheels that's sub-$100.

thanks rion, I've just found that out and it totally changed the game style.

I'm gonna wait till GT5 comes out before buying a good racing wheel. Right now, tiis muna sa keyboard and controller.

GT5 creator using the official wheel.

got a question, which PC race sims have full clutch simulation? The only game I can find is TOCA (real clutch grab point) which utilizes G25's clutch pedal. All other games doesn't support clutch which means utilizing the clutch pedal on the G25 is hardware only and with no real clutch grab point. It just acts like an on/off button when switcing gears.

Yes GT5 talaga!! Next year daw

He He. Pretty sharp eyes. I kept thinking I saw that wheel somewhere before too. In fact, I was asking on an earlier thread what wheel he was using.

I remember long ago when simulations were still widespread, there was support for clutch pedals and stick shifts with some car games. The gear box was actually notched for each gear. I haven't seen one in ages though. But as real cars became 5 and 6-speeds, they became obsolete. The shift methods in place now may seem more arcadish but are also compatible with more games.

gusto ko isang bilihan nalang kaya gusto ko isang logitech G25 nalang

interesting to, http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/001030.html

eto naman yung sinasabi ko earlier,



eto naman built by a TPC forumer:


(from this thread at TPC)

yun nga, full steer at brake kaagad pag kb lang. kaya panay drift ako kada corner.

[Negus]

^^saan yan?

Maybe I was asking too much a while ago. I thought at this day and age, racing sims would be able to simulate stall outs and authentic clutch grab point. I'm guessing it would take a super computer to do that.

[JJCarEnthusiast]

hey look how my times improved:



hehehe still not that good though..

last time i checked at bestbuy.com, their logitech G27 is $299 which is around 13k php. ouch

kayo, do you prefer those with clutch, or pwede na yung walang clutch?

i guess i read somewhere (i think it's in TPC as well) that there is a simulator that really has clutch function, that stalls the engine when clutch timing goes wrong. di ko maalala anong exact sim yun, pero i guess it's just one of those we are talking about (rFactor, LFS, Race 07 or GT)

maganda pala yang logitech steering wheel posted by sir jun aka pekto, 100usd range lang.. yung G27 299usd (G25 299usd din ata according dun sa isang link ko)

[JJCarEnthusiast]

how about logitech momo?


99usd sa bestbuy.

[jut703]

I own a Logitech Momo, and I'd say it's pretty good for its price. Though I have to admit, it's nothing compared to the G25, but hey, it's literally a quarter of the price.

I did want to get my hands on a Driving Force GT when I was shopping for a wheel, but sadly it had limited availability. AFAIK, it has the same 900 degree steering that the G25 has which my Momo doesnt.

[JJCarEnthusiast]

magkano ba ang G25 dito sa pinas?

360deg lang ba ang momo?

I'm not sure if there's a Gamestop store where you're at. But, there's two of the Logitech Driving Force GT at the one I went to. Gamestop also offer other driving wheels. The driving wheels they offer came from somewhere. My guess will be the Far East. They're bound to be available elsewhere with a different brand name.

Gamestop driving wheels for the PS3:

$30

I wish there were driving wheels this cheap for the pc. The closest was my Logitech NASCAR and I bought that for $50.

My daughter has the old GT Force for her PS2. She still plays GT4 with it.

pwedeng gumamit ng clutch sa mga games na developed by simbin (gtr series, race07, gtr evolution) mapapractice mo talaga ang heel and toe mo rito. hindi ako sigurado kung sa live for speed pwede rin.

Around 12,500-13,000 in Greenhills last time I checked

Momo's more of 240 degrees. Or something like that. It just doesnt go full circle, literally.
