The new wheel is a mix of the lesser Driving Force wheel and the G27. Lotta mixed opinions so far but I gotta feeling it's gonna be sweet. I love the big red dial to adjust brakes.

Well......maybe read the thread instead of asking us to do your research for you? Here's a hint: the answer is on this page about 6-7 posts up. | |

I was under the impression that the thread was longer than it actually was. I myself enjoy helping people and maybe should not have projected that on others - my apologies.

got up yesterday morning and did a couple hours in the Stratos. saved up enough to buy my first Group B AWD. I had to go with the Audi Quattro Sport, one of my all time favorites. second in line would have been the Lancia Delta, but I had to go with the Audi. I haven't driven it yet, id like to tune on the Stratos some more. |

So THAT was your chores from yesterday morning?? I approve!! Great purchase! How could you not drive that thing immediately?? That'll likely be my first AWD purchase, as well. |

Good stuff! So if I'm understanding it correctly, it appears we should soon have mod support. That would be fantastic 'cause there's some great maps and vehicles out there already, but the instability has been a real problem....at least for me. The other updates are all looking good! Tried Pikes Peak on Dirt Rally last night. I'm so sad to say I wasn't impressed.....yet. I don't know the whole 10 mile layout by heart and without any co-driver help it was near impossible to drive it at a reasonably quick pace. Not to mention the cars were pretty fast and made it a bit too challenging. I quickly became pretty frustrated and went back to regular rally mode. By the way, is anyone else doing the daily events at dirtgame.com? Each day they have a new challenge at a specific location in a specific car. You get one crack at it and compare your time to everyone else. Of course, you can practice it offline beforehand if you want. Kinda cool to be able to compare your times to others around the world.....and realize just how slow you are!! |

im most excited about the free DLC, but its the furthest away with no estimated release date. yeah i got discouraged on PP and gave up quick too. its making yall do it in little stages right? you cant climb the whole mountain at once right? i would have prefered that. like a lap at the 'ring naa i havent found that daily challenge thing yet. |

nice did you still have all 4 tires? any luck on tuning? I made it better, but not great. braking still seemed pretty terrible. |

Tuning helped a bit. I think I moved brake bias forward all the way and loosened up front and rear diff. I think the diffs have adv settings that allow you to use lighter oil to make them even looser.

I used the Audi by they way and might have also tuned the gearing to be a bit longer.

Ha! I got Richard Burns Rally - a 2004 game to run on this computer....was afraid it would ask for a key... playing on the keyboard because I have to dig my wheel out of storage. Gives me hope for the other old games I have stashed around after 20 years. Yet a newer game called Starcraft is to "old" for the software and/or video card-- won't even launch. |

| Re: PC Sim Racing The Aston features iRacing’s new physical-based rendering system which is suppose to do a better job of reflecting light off of differing materials, such as aluminum versus carbon fiber. The new rendering will also be coming to the Corvette C6.R and the rebuilt Legends Coupe. I can’t say for certain that I can see the new rendering in the trailer but I will say that the Aston certainly looks good. Besides the trailer, iRacing has also unveiled a laundry list of new content and features coming to the title in the form of a Twitch stream yesterday. Here are some things that we learned:
