What are people driving with, Assists wise?

Gonna do No assists, never had so much fun! It's great to complete a race like that.

( Manual gear too )

I put it on intermediate. I'm not ashamed to have a bit of abs and reminders to slow down in the turns.

I only drive with ABS. That's it. everything else off and MT.

I drive with ABS only. Everything else off, no assists, and i have Manual transmission as well. My S15 Silvia is pushing over 700HP i think right now, it's pretty damn hard to drive. And i put the S2000 engine into my Wings West Civic but immediately took it out after finding how hard it was to drive hahah. But i put the RSX Engine into it and it is freaking insane, i think 420 some Horsepower. This game is too good.

This game is incredible and very addictive. I'm usually not a sim guy, but with most of the assists on, it still has a bit of an arcade feel to it. I wasn't going to buy it because I don't like sims, but I wanted a new game so I broke down. Really glad I did now. I can see myself playing this one for a looooong time.

Ditto.

I also did go in and bump damage up to simulated as well.

Do you people whom drive it in manual use a controller??!! I would imagine that's pretty awkward.

i use a controller and drive manual. it's not that bad once you get used to it. i'm pretty used to the controls in gran turismo, so i set the forza controls to something similar and i'm having no problems.

i'm enjoying this game very much. i'm thinking of getting a wheel, but i don't have the cash for it right now :(

I use the controller as well, i don't really want/need a wheel at the moment. I don't see myself getting any other racing games at the moment, so i don't think i'll be buying a wheel. I'm fine with the controller anyway.

damn silvia so hard to drive lol, so much power.

Gotta say, playing with a wheel is certainly a nice feeling. But the game feels SO much more difficult with the damn thing, It's impossible to control a slide or keep you on the track during a skid ... Guess i need more practice eh? :)

Yep, you just need more practice with it. At first it appears much harder, but now I cannot even imagine playing with the controller considering the amount of precision the wheel offers. You will be able to control slides and stay on track with the wheel, no doubt about it, and once you figure it out, it is so damn kick ass. :punk:

Using the wheel is basically as close as I can imagine a video game getting to real life.

I'm thinking of getting the wheel as well, but I'm not sure if i can really used it as i don't sit at my desk, i understand you can put it on your lap, but won't it be really uncomfortable. i wish i could try it out before buying :(

One thing I'm realizing is that the early races don't really give you a need to trick out any cars beyond maybe a slight engine boost or two. The variation in races makes it impossible to get one car that you can use more than a few times before needing something different because of engine, drive, etc restrictions.

I retitled the thread. The discussion has evolved into more than just photos of one's car.

One thing that annoys me about people online is the fact there's always that one prick in a race who gets ahead by spinning others out. It killed my last race because he spun me right into the dirt at around 115mph. Race clean or don't race at all. Hell, one guy coming up behind me just said over the mic "bang bang, on your left" and since I had no chance of holding him off, I gave him room to pass. It seems pretty simple to me. Why can't others do the same?

    • I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
