About a buck more than the last deal. Well worth it if you want to give SIM RACING a go.

The very easy to use Content Manager 3rd party app will let you up the graphics so it will look much more modern. Along with other tweaks and mods.

For those considering venturing into sim racing, here are my tips, drawn from my own experience of starting not long ago:

Hold Off on a New Wheel Purchase:
If you're uncertain about your level of interest, consider acquiring a budget-friendly wheel. I personally obtained one for $50 through Facebook Marketplace. Despite being over a decade old, it still functions exceptionally well. Check it out here: https://www.beracer.com/logitech-driving-force-gt/. It comes with Windows 10 driver support and operates on Windows 11 with Core Isolation turned off.

Persist through Challenges:
If you're new to sim racing, expect a learning curve. Initial races might be challenging, with the likelihood of spinning out of control. Stay determined, experiment with different cars, and don't be disheartened by initial setbacks. If the experience becomes less enjoyable, consider using assists. Don't be swayed by online opinions; the primary goal is to have fun and derive enjoyment. If a pure sim game isn't right for you, try something less complex.

Upgrade Gradually:
Enhance your setup as necessary. While I'm content with my current kit, I may explore better pedals in the future for an improved experience. The key is to find a balance between enjoying your current setup and gradually investing in improvements.

    Crazy value even if it's $1 more than ATL. If you've been thinking of sim-racing or just trying out this type of gaming experience, hard to go wrong!

    Assetto Corsa content manager is absolutely needed to run this as well.. So much more flexibility than the stardard front end..

    • Skullytor on 08/02/2024 - 14:38

      Absolutely! Its hard to believe its such an old game with the Custom Shaders Patch and graphic tweaks it provides

      If I run every setting to its highest on my 11th Gen i7 with 3060 GPU, I do loose a lot of frame rate.

      What frame rate should I aim for? At the movement its 80+ but I can increase graphics and stay in the 50s

        I run in VR… so dunno….

        It can look sublime…

          What headset and GPU if you don’t mind?

            @Grok: Just to clarify, not my video.. I'm not able to control a car like that.. lol

            just thought it was cool..

            I run a Quest 3 + 4090… with a direct drive wheel..

            • Grok on 08/02/2024 - 20:29

              @Vladdo: Thanks, I’ve been thinking of buying a Quest 3 but I’ve only got a 3060Ti

        • Skullytor on 08/02/2024 - 15:16

          What mods do you have on that to make it look so realistic please? Wow

          this is me with customer shaders patch and it looks no where near as good as yours:

            @Skullytor: Google is your best friend for full lists but main ones after content manager (which just improves the UI, vastly) is sol and custom shader patch. There are “realistic” ones that take it further but I find looks good and runs great without.

            Apart from the race car mods, I had a lot of fun with all the free drift car and track mods and the Japanese highway + traffic mods.

            I’ve got 3080 but a pushed OC 8600k. Have a quest 3 in the post so keen to see how that stack up with VR, or if it’s a reason to upgrade PC (excluding the 3080)

            • Skullytor on 08/02/2024 - 19:48

              @Wombatstew: Thats the thing, I fear if I make the game too pretty my 3080 will start struggling

              • Wombatstew on 08/02/2024 - 20:33

                @Skullytor: I don’t think there is too much to worry about. I run triple 1440p with oversized resolution (i have 27+34+27 so using the triple screen setup means I have to run it like I have 3x34). Graphic settings are around mostly high+. I get around 120 frames. The AC mods go a long way to extract more quality / performance. ACC’s performance not as great compared but still good. New WRC on triples is pushing it though

        • IamaCam on 08/02/2024 - 16:38

          Thanks for the link! Your neckFX settings look great ! Any groups / servers that you can share for some racing ? Hard to find good casual Aussie servers

          • imurgod on 08/02/2024 - 17:34

            @IamaCam: lowfuel are running races

            (Not Aussie but pretty decent free iracing-esque racing).

            • IamaCam on 09/02/2024 - 13:11

              @imurgod: Thanks i havent tried but a mate that's joined said its really died down a lot recently (last few weeks?). I'll check it out hopefully on the weekend!

    Work well with 360 wheel?

    AMS2 cd keys for the same price (or less) is a better option for anyone who doesn't want to stuff around installing 3rd party apps and files to get a decent experience.

    Both games are good in their own respective ways however.

    • imurgod on 08/02/2024 - 17:35

      AMS2 is pretty amazing with all the patches now.

      Well worth having both of these and Assetto Corsa Competizione.

    I only have a logitech G29 and shifter. Would I still be able to have a good experience? Is g29 supported? Or it's for those with proper simulators and gear?

      A lot of people start on the g29 to never come out of the hole. Hi, Im Carlos Shainze, and I'm a SMOOOOOTHHHHH Operatorrrrr

      I used a G29 and it is excellent, you will have a good time :)

      Absolutely! Look at the one I posted in the OP, its much older than what you have.

      G29 with a shifter is a great start. Welcome!

  • jianh on 08/02/2024 - 19:35

    This is a game (or sim) that Formula One driver Fernando Alonso also plays (with mods of course)

    Proof: https://imgur.com/a/8NAhTwt

    • Skullytor on 08/02/2024 - 19:45

      I dont know but I know there are a few F1 style cars in it and F1 mods that were designed by proper designers.

      I havent played with any of the F1 cars yet.

    i can get nürburgring nordschleife on this or win or upgrade tracks? i havent played PC games in years.

    • jianh on 09/02/2024 - 17:18

      With this game you’ll get the Nordschleife track.

    • Skullytor on 09/02/2024 - 18:20

      I dont think you upgrade tracks. There is a career mode where you go through levels of cars etc. But I think everything is unlocked from the start if you want to race any car and any track.
