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?

    • And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
