That's interesting... I noticed that too. I'm probably disadvantaged because I have a load-cell spring on my G27 stock pedals, too. I'm not overjoyed with the G27 stock H-shifter either, it's just too clunky and cheap feeling. I think I might try and take the leather off and see if that makes a difference.Awesome news Three60, can't wait.
Shaneus, stock setup. I just did a longer stint to test effect of lower fuel. No aids, fanatec csr @ 900 degrees, clubsport pedals and H shifter. With sequential shifter it's much harder - rear tires lock up very easily on downshifts.

1.18.600 on 4th lap. I still can't pull off a perfect lap though. This track is really hard. And a lot of time can be lost be pushing it too hard.. Really have to do it smart and take it easy. A lot of time can be gained on the straightaways, so make sure to get the exit of the corners right.
And thanks guys.
Alternately, are there any cheap H shifters or mods for the stock G27 one to make it better?

The G27 pedals are really shithouse! Hats off to those who can use these; I'm always stuggling with locking wheels under heavy braking as there is zero feel. If you find a nice mod (other that the GT spring mod sold on fleabay) please post it here.
I'd love to upgrade to a T500 with the loadcell pedals Thrustmaster released pictures of..perhaps after Xmas

If you want to go full bore, get the Leo Bodnar cable as well. This isolates the pedals to their own USB connection with higher resolution and customizable calibration settings. It is not a must, but some games don't always give you the brake sensitivity and range settings you want.
Edit: Derp, the link to the cable http://www.leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=187

ISR did record a review and he has a website as well. I don't think he's on the Nixim Xmas card list either
I'm done..
Hats off to the fastest guys here; some amazing laps being recorded!
Hah, the stock DFGT pedals are probably not an advantage here but have gotten pretty used to them.
Just watched Kamkors lap, man I am jealous of those gearchanges haha
I have the replay of my fastest lap saved so will try to upload it over the weekend, much more inline and boring looking than Kamkors though!

Apparently it feels better than the Nixim (or not far off, anyway). Still, $30 is a steal. Support your fellow countryman!ISR did record a review and he has a website as well. I don't think he's on the Nixim Xmas card list either

DAT 5-3 downshift
Nice lap. Preloaded upshifts? Huge straightaway speed. The good exits probably have a lot t do with that
I jumped the gun, and had Jambo pick a car/track combo, but if you can get me yours in the next couple of hours we'll roll with that instead.
@TJP & Shaneus Yeah, I have a GTEYE. I like it better than any homemade contraption I've come up with. It does click when fully compressed as the ISR guys mention. No biggie, as I don't calibrate for all the travel anyways. I've forever been a sock guy, but the spring did make me convert to light shoes (Onitsuka Tiger or actually my Adidas water shoes are prob my favs). It's certainly no loadcell, but it's better.
Looking forward to watching it.
Boring is usually faster, I'm suprised this lap was pretty fast. My best lap didn't have as much action/sliding. DAT 5-3 downshift

What are preloaded upshifts? I did normal shifting. When I could, I didn't lift off. I've also been shifting 5-3, because I'm not used to fanatec H shifter and kept screwing up with 5-4-3.
Yes, good exists made a big difference. Can be easily seen when following a ghost car.
About the combo, let's leave it as it is.

I'm not telling you
You don't need any more speed! Just joking, I'm not sure it's even possible, or necessary in AC. It's an old iRacing trick that lets you preselect gears for super fast upshifts.Cool. He picked a good one which I think will be fun. You'll get more chances to pick no doubt! I'll have something up in a few hours.

Describe in greater detail please, I am intrigued
OK, I will probably be putting a new sock in my pedal soon because I want it a little stiffer so I will take more detailed pics then. But in this pic you can see the person put a heavy rubber bumper inside the piston spring of his brake pedal cylinders. Instead of using a heavy rubber, you can just cut a strip of sock that you can wad up or roll up and pack the entire inside of the spring with the sock. You have to experiment with the feel a little bit and it does "settle" after the first few uses, but since then the brake feel has been consistent and feels very much like a real brake pedal. light, but resistant onset with a quick firm build in pressure that turns to very firm with heavy pressure. You can also glue pennies at the top and bottom of the inside of the cylinders so it is a flat even surface pressing against the sock and not the protruding alignment nubs. This will probably help the sock wear better over time.
PS - This mod is definitely better for PC as you can tweak your brake range settings, which I have never seen in a console game. However, I have not had a problem in GT5 with it registering a full brake pressure so it seems fine.
Where you see the black rubber stopper, replace that with a tightly packed wad of sock. Almost all of the spring will be full of sock.

Interesting solutions. May have to do this when my pp inevitably wears out.

I leave you a Assetto Corsa video in which I've applied some filters to have a tonality, lighting, lens effect and realistic sound, all as though were captured from a camera in this position, its a onboard lap with Lotus 49 in Imola.

Everyone is welcome to come and join in on the fun. Wheels, controllers, TC, STM, however you enjoy yourself. If you are running with something other than a wheel and no aids, please include that with your time to make it easier for comparison.
If you'd like to include videos or pictures of your lap (or laptime), please do. It makes it a little more fun.
It's about having fun and hopefully improving your skills. No one is too slow. Hopefully everyone can find a natural rival. The more people who participate, the greater that chance.
Rules? Do we need any? We're all adults. No need to BS anybody. Until the game's scoreboard goes public there no point in being the fastest in world. Which is why I'd like to keep setups and fuel levels at default for our challenges. At least for the time being. IMO, they just add to the time sink, and can alienate people who aren't savvy with a virtual wrench. I just want to make it as easy as possible to participate.
Post your times, and I'll keep this updated, and bumped.

I did all of the nixim mods to my G27 setup. They helped me out a lot.

It should remain untouched:
This should be a really fun combo... putting in some laps ASAP today.
Thanks and yeah.. I will try to make one.
Was great fun, thanks for racing everyone. Here's my try with formula. I think 1.45 will be necessary to be in top 3 this time.

That gif is awesome, ha. Aqua Minerale gives me cold sweats, especially if the gearing isn't quite right. How is it in the Tatuus?

Niels Heusinkveld (GSC, rF physics guru) talk and drives AC. Very interesting, and enjoyable.

Haven't had a chance to do any laps yet. Blame Resogun! I will tomorrow however.

Excellent stuff from Niels as per usual & well worth watching as he isn't all praise and no constructive criticism. Interesting comments from Niels regarding the long held notion of hard equals real which Niels, along with Aris from Kunos, doesn't believe is realistic at all.
At this point I'd love to see Niels make a few mods for Assetto Corsa; one can only imagine Game Stock Car powered by Assetto Corsa's graphics and physics engines.

The Lotus looks absolutely gorgeous! But I'd say it seems a lot more forgiving in the turns than what I remember from Grand Prix Legends. And I miss the sounds of the air rushing by and the tire tread on the pavement...
Some awesome times being set so quickly!
The advice people are giving is great, my time's improved from late 1:48 to 1:47's just looking at what has been said, namely getting good exit speed's, and watching replays I'm often down too low a gear on some corners!
[edit] Faster times posted below!

Nice to see times falling..
[edit] Slight Faster time posted below!
To be honest, there was one corner that slightly went wider then I'd like, but not enough to trigger the slow down..
Awesome time CLR_CMOS, shame your wheel has to go back.. I might get closer to you, but I'm in the realms of needing a perfect lap..

I cant get anywhere close(1:48.0). I think I'm just hanging this up til I get a wheel. I should have waited to buy it. So far, the only car I think that drives well with a controller is the X-Bow, so I got a false impression having that as the first competition.
Which is fine. The game needs a lot of work still. Hopefully when I come back, I'll actually be able to race in this racing game...

It took a while for me to get into the 1:47s, from then on it was learning the track braking points, and what lateral grip the car has, it seems you can take a lot more speed into the corner then I thought, as long as you aren't trail braking.
If it helps, here's my 1:45.892 lap http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4CNcJ38RLiw
no you shouldnt, because small company needs money now.
also I'm waiting for wheel replacement to arrive, so no big deal
Bit more time shaved off here and there..
1:45,548
I think I can maybe shave 1-200'ths off max, that's sliding it in on a couple of corners which is very hit or miss..
I'm not sure about the 'bouncing' that it does over the little bump sometimes, you have to be millimetre accurate to get it totally settled through some corners..

Nice times guys, this car really has a lot of pace to discover. I wouldn't dare going this fast in real life though. Especially not with the default setup.
