• Group 5 car class - Updated physics

This is awesome! I love the cars but they had definitely fallen behind in driveability compared to the newer content. Well done Sector 3

Edit: This was my opinion prior to trying out the new patch. My opinion has now changed radically after spending an evening driving around with the new patch.

I love the cars and the tracks on that sim. However, once you drive with AMS2, it is a bit painful to drive in R3E. The tyres feel lifeless compared to AMS2. Up to now, R3E was my favorite sim. I hope Sector 3 Studios can react to the competition.

Come back and give our updated cars a go then @Michel Bélisle

Really liked the pre-December FFB. Pretty much stopped playing it since the FFB was revised at that time.

Guess I'll give it a shot, but AMS2's FFB has really spoiled me...

C'mon Raceroom I need weather and day/night cycle then you win hands down.

I was hoping for better Simucube 2 support and/or profiles.

Bummer.

The 'Madness Engine' incoming for Raceroom, fantastic graphics, stunning night and day, great performance and then Sector 3 can sprinkle their magic Physics dust and Audio on the rest ....sorry Goffik ...it's just the logical choice, ....if Reiza can do it...
...back on topic, enjoying the new Porsche and Daytona circuits, Road and Oval course...always great work Sector 3

no madness engine please....

I can't drive R3E with my triple setup mate I need to be able to adjust the seat tilt because some cars when I have the seat in position all I can see is roof and if I lower seat to get proper amount of windscreen all I have is half a screen of dash! Can you please make the seat tilt work for triple users? All my R3E content (money I've spent) is wasted until you do! It works in single screen but not triples and it obviously can work because it is possible to change file numbers to get the tilt to work but it's very hard to do for all cars!

I've been really enjoying the Porsche GTE on Daytona RC this week, both on & offline.
Easily the Sim with the most logged hours this Calendar year for me; the FFB, physics & AI (amongst others) have come a long way in recent times.

Also for me the december ffb update made a huge step forward now its my goto sim atm.

 

[Gary Roth]

I would be more than happy with a move to dx11 for any kind of performance boost in VR ...I really dont care about weather ..just look at the sims that offer it
, rarely you find servers running rain/ night etc... most drivers prefer to race in good weather ..and the biggest thing been the performance cost weather etc occurs ..RRE looks fantastic in VR ..just need a boost in performance

It's not bad at all with some minor tweaks.

Recommended settings on Raceroom 2020

I have tried to tame it playing with sliders in R3E but seems like Periodic Sine may have something to do with that as well, as I am pretty sure it’s almost gone with it at 0%, but the rest of FFB was affected as well and not in a good way, so not sure. Anyway, my current settings. If anyone...

I am getting feeling that I am on a right track chasing down that bump steer bouncy wheel. Seems like it’s mostly from Steering Rack effect, which is defaulted to 55% for some reason while R3E site recommends to keep it at 30% if not lower. Steering Rack The steering rack setting is a bit of...

Sorry to burst your bubble but why would Sector 3 use an engine that is created by a team that also used to make up Simbin?! look into what happened when they split and created Sector 3 and Slightly Mad and you will see it wasnt a peaceful split at all. Plus SMS now owned by Codemasters you will end up with Codemasters taking credit for any game created on the SMS engine as they were doing last week on twitter with AMS2.

However, once you drive with AMS2, it is a bit painful to drive in R3E. The tyres feel lifeless compared to AMS2.

I honestly dont feel you are right.
At least the Formula cars I have tested out.
If I compare Racerooms 3x FR90Vsomething with the 2x AMS2 V10/V12 then all 5x cars feels lively and extremely joyfull.
And the 3 Raceroom feels completely different from the 2 AMS2.
But if I had to assess which of the cars (TM/physics) feels with slightly more "depth" in the physics then my money are on Raceroom.

CatsAreTheWorstDogs: Be aware Im an expert in both Racerooms FR90 and now latest also in AMS2´s V10/V12. If you dont believe me the check the 5x LB´s
out.
Yeah yeah I know - bragging. But if you dont believe me check it out

EDIT: Conserning how many AMS2 LBs Im topping my wording could be misunderstood. Conserning Raceroom LBs then Im on top on all the tracks I own in the FR90 series(more or less). But conserning AMS2 then its only recently I have been able to create an expert setup for the only track I at the moment have been concentrating on - Kyalami in the Formula V10/V12. And the LB result is now just as good as in Raceroom.

Dont make me hate you Codemasters.....

One thing S3 do need to have a look at is the fwd cars. Slight touch of the throttle and they wheelspin uncontrollably which is their biggest downfall. The WTCC Super 2000 tc1 cars are undrivable. TCR cars it seems to depend which track you use as to whether its even worth racing them or not.

 

[Mekonrider]

Just had a blast, the difference is Raceroom is the tyres seem to need a few laps to come to life as such. Having never driven on any type of race tyre I don't know if this is how it is IRL?

Me too since RF2 has taken a bit of a backshelf. Raceroom is catching up with Assetto Corsa (1) and then RF2 with 720 hours spent
