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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This, in my opinion, is the best NFS game. Hirap lang patakbuhin sa XP

Ok ba yung MOMO racing wheel?

Gusto ko rin ng racing wheel kaso mas interested pa ako ngayon sa joystick para sa FSX. San ba meron mabibilhan puro wala yung natanungan ko?

[DBrady]

hi about jan sa momo review ng insidesimracing.. well para sa kanila not so good.. kasi they got FREX G27 wheels etc. so syempre iccompare nila un.. ang resulta naman tlga panget.. sobrang layo.. pero saken from experience.. super sulit momo kasi i have one and using it right now.. i've tested na g25, dfpro, dfgt, wingman formula.. pag ginamit mo sa sim realistic padin kalalabasan.. ang pinagkaiba lang ng g25 sa iba ee naka belt ung mga FFB motors nya pero ung mga dfgt etc. mga naka direct gear kaya ung damping ramdam na ramdam.. pero may plugin for rfactor na "REALFEEL PLUG-IN" na lahat ng wheel nicoconfig nya na mag iba ang FFB.. sana may makuha kaung tips sa post ko :]

[JJCarEnthusiast]

hi daryl! nice to see you here :hi:

[JJCarEnthusiast]
