DiRT Rally is available on Steam Early Access
- Thread starter crimsonheadGCN
- Start date
I use a DS4 and it felt the same, but I have different Sensibility/Linearity settings for every car, so maybe I can't tell.
Can someone explain this monthly event graphic to me? I'm pretty sure it makes no sense:
- Why am I, with a time of 91:39min somewhere between these two numbers?
- Why is the bar where it's at?
- Why is 100:09min worth more money than 96:23min, which is a faster time?
- Why am I, with a time of 91:39min somewhere between these two numbers?
- Why is the bar where it's at?
Same car on different tracks, I restarted the game a couple of times and it felt like it went back to normal. Maybe it was just my imagination, but it didn't feel like it.

Hey guys just got this wheel from a family member who had it in storage last 5 years.
Logitech Driving Force Pro
Plugged it in and it lit up and was recognized by the game but then i realized it was missing the power supply.
Would either of these work and which am I better off buying?

I'm cheap so I'd try to get a 24v 0.75A or 1A at a flea market or something like that.
Edit: also this: Price completely out of line must be a mistake - or robbery - Electrical Engineer's opinion

ah so it's all the same compatibility? I wonder if I could just grab one at radio shack.
Yeah, it should, just check the polarity (+ at the center) or get a decent universal adapter if it's cheaper than the "bootleg" one.
Yes. I flew off the track and hit a tree with the left side of the car, right above the left rear wheel, and then it fell off. It's even more crappier than blowing up a tire.
And yes, Wales.
Hah, come on, man, your times in the league aren't that bad.

Wow, the damage model is even better than I thought it was
I think I'm average at best, and I've blown a lot of tires learning how to drive the RWD cars, but I always get to the end with the rim, even if it spits sparks like a angle grinder through the entire stage.
Same. I usually don't hit the restart button (what is done is done), and the only time I had a rage quit, I was sent to a lower division. ;(

Is there a GAF season currently running? I'd like to get in on that action if there is!

Noticed this posted on Shack: Fan made video . I was going to wait a little longer before buying but the video made me salivate for more and looking forward to Pike's Peak as well!

Jest went an ordered the overpriced power supply for my driving force pro. Man if this thing ends up not working I'm not gonna be happy. =(
The lil green light turns on and the PC recognizes it it just doesn't have any juice since it doesn't have a power source. We'll see.

This is a cool little video, I like it.
Edit:
Are you on Nvidia? Then you should look into Shadowplay!
oh yeah I forgot about that, thanks! I always untick nvidia experience when installing new drivers
I'll take a look at obs too, thanks! I don't think I'm too worried about having anything look perfect.

I saw it for a bit, two Paraguayans in an Evo X, against 2 Brazilians in a green Evo IX. The thing I liked the most, was the event logo/emblem, I LOVE yerba matethe argentinian one, sorry
Never tried. I don't even know if it's sweet, bitter, salty, or something else. xD
Usually only people from the south drink it. They call it "chimarrão" down there.
I haven't messed with settings and it seems a little less tight than it was a few weeks ago. I dunno if it's a placebo effect/changed gravel physics or just me or if they REALLY DID do changes to controllers. It's funky.
I'm sitting here like: "I need to buy a boat cat.jpg" just for a racing wheel.
Steam workshop for more tracks/runs would be AMAZING.
I was on the same boat (heh) as you, but I only really like rally games, so if I buy a racing wheel and stop playing this game, I'd end up storing it; so instead I bought a DS4.
Try to edit the sensitivity and linearity settings a bit, they help a LOT with the group B cars and the RWD ones.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
So I finished the monthly online challenge today, and luckily I managed to keep my car driving for all 24 stages! By the last race however the Lancia S4 was in pretty bad shape.
Now I just have to wait a few days to see how much money I made!

So, I still have this weird bug where my custom wheel settings don't take effect until I pause the game. It seems to happen every stage - the wheel is stiffer and more responsive than what I set it at, and it loosens up correctly after a pause/continue.
But, I also have an additional problem now. On the first stage I load after starting up the game, my car drags to the right despite the wheel being centered. Pause/continue doesn't seem to reset it, as with the other bug. Didn't conclusively test this, but fixing it seemed to require I stop the car and rotate the wheel all the way left, then all the way right. Once it's back to normal, it doesn't happen again until I restart the game.

I made my first few rounds with my G27, the first time ever I've used a wheel like that. It's awesome! I need to work to stay on the road when driving through corners at higher speeds, that's how I like it.
What is less awesome is my DIY wheelstand made auf of a few very sturdy 4x4s, put some long screws through em and after my first session this thing is a wobly mess... man I suck at buidling simple things, no talent at all. There are some nice DIY wheelstands on some websites but they are way out of my skillset, I don't even have all the tools to make them lol.
Have to think about this before I can play more Dirt.

Maybe we can help you, I have some experience building furniture or modifying it with just a few tools.

Thanks but I have a friend who is quite capable in these things, at least more than I am. I was planning on giving him a call and then this will be done properly.
This is from another message board:

I was thinking about scrapping my wheelstand and trying this but only with the help of my friend. If I lose my patience I will slap together some more 4x4s and bolt them to each other. I honestly don't care much for the design and look, I just want the functionality.
That's a pretty clever design, but like you said if the one you built works, it doesn't matter how it looks. Although that design looks fairly easy to build, I don't know if it's that sturdy, the "flaps" look like they're made out of 12mm MDF or Plywood, but I don't see how are they fixed to the 1"x1" at the base. If you're going to build that, get some high quality hinges, they need to be firm, if they're loose or the pin doesn't fit tightly inside the knuckles, it'll be unstable.
Edit: Searching around, the ones made out of PVC pipes are even easier to build, and can be disassembled with ease.

Very nice!
About the lack of front responsiveness, I use the brakes to throw some weight to the front to get some more grip there. And I have a feeling that this weekend I think I've reached a higher sensibility in that area. I'm being so gentle with the brakes, and with that, I'm finding much more control with the car. I'm much more confident now, going faster and making less mistakes.

To anyone using a wheel... which button to use for the handbrake? Or are you all actually have a physical handbrake?
Also, I'm missing the option to use my shifter, only the pedal shifter behind the wheel are working. Where do I find the setting for it? Or is it that most Rally cars just don't use an H like shifter?

I use circle on a dfgt, which is the default for most racing games I've played.
No idea about the shifter.
Edit:
What's the word on the next season of the league? salmonella_dub didn't return to complete the second event, otherwise he probably would have taken it from me.
Also, I think the new format worked well. My suggestion for the next would be 3 events, 6 stages per event, each event is one country, progression of a "day" over the course of an event (first stage morning, last stage night), a few days to complete each event. I'd also suggest 70s cars, but I know some people don't like them.
I think so, according to their timeline. Anything could go wrong though, I suppose, and it might be later.
