We don't call it the Dark Souls of racers for nothin'!
Start slow and try to learn how to approach every type of bend, try to master the Mini/Fulvia first to get used to the roads.
As for configuration, I have different sensitivity and linearity settings for every car (I use a DS4), try every car and change those settings until you feel confident (if you have the time obviously). If you own a wheel, you can check the steam or codies forum for help.

Congrats to falckenhaus for winning the last season.
New season will be up shortly.

I'm not good at this and I don't have a ton time to play games, but I was having a great night I really feel like I'm improving finally. Then that second gaf stage...my soul...
Yeah, the last section is very tricky, and even more with RWD cars, I spun like 3 times in the Stratos
Aye, not bad. I'm hanging tight for a similar cut during the Steam sale so I can grab a gift for a friend. 25% as a base sale price is a promising start, even if it doesn't ever go deeper.
Yeah, I think it'll get a daily deal. I expect someone in here to chime up if it happens! Otherwise, that code expires on the 26th I think... which would be well after the sale finishes (and any chance of a daily deal has passed).
Either way, looks like I'll be getting it for at most $25.

The last section was so much easier when I lost my front right tire and couldn't go as fast.

Man, today's daily with the Impreza....normally the Subaru's are my favorite cars in rally games, but DiRT Rally's Impreza is just hard to handle for me. It feels like it's always on ice! I might need to play around with the tuning on that one..

Have you joined the GAF league yet?
Default setup for Impreza is stupid, it's torque bias on diff is set as 90% front 10% back so it's basically a FWD.
Tune it a bit to like 40:60 and it's golden.
Not if I'm watching LM24
Well I kinda made a trailer for Dirt Rally, hopefully it isnt too rubbish.

Bought the game yesterday.
Holy shit you guys were not kidding that its hard. The 60's are kicking my ass If you recover you're basically already fucked on the timer. With the Lancia from the 60's, going 4th gear and going over 110km/h is damn scary in this game, the sense of speed is perfect. Cant even imagine group B's speed in these races o_o

This game makes you realise why Group Bs were such a terrible idea!
So the "DIRT Franchise" has appeared as a flash sale for the Steam thing this week... but even though DIRT Rally appears when I click said flash sale, the only one actually on flash sale is DIRT 3.
So I guess that rules out a better price for DR than the 25% off during the summer sale?

yeah its the same 25%...
so i ended up getting it... price seems reasonable... looking forward to using my relatively new G27 on this, seems like the perfect game for it.
Franchise sale was a good enough sign for me that 25% was the best we are going to get, so I've jumped in. Will be playing with a 360 controller, can't wait!

Betta Lines has the skinny on the upcoming FFB patch:
https://youtu.be/yWJGKjNu__U
Amazing work, Codies. I would have never thought you would have made as much progress as you have. I'm incredibly impressed with your work, and your willingness to turn to the community for help.
Betta, what can I say, brother. Unbelievable job conveying the issues, and contributing to the fixes. The vast improvement is clear to see. Thanks so much!
My only question is when?!
EDIT: Oh, I was beaten. My bad!

Is there any word on the proper release of the Germany stuff?

Yeah, I just watched it too, that video has me all kinds of excited! I actually haven't had many issues with the current FFB, although I'll admit its felt "off" at times. But then I'm no professional race driver either. Still, his description makes me anxious to see what I was missing.

Thanks guys! As far as I'm aware they'd like to roll out the update tomorrow, unless any big issues come up...
Ever since the mess that was 2012, I have a feeling that F1 is a primarily a gamepad franchise.

wishes it were bannable to say mean things about Marvel
That's awesome, I hope you are right!
You know, your video made me a bit sad though, because damn you are driving so much better in it than I do, lol. This is a game I really want to practice with and get good at, and watching a video like yours shows me exactly what I need to strive towards.

That's very kind! But honestly I couldn't drive like that using the old FFB, so don't worry if you're struggling. Once you get the update it should make a lot more sense.

I'm also awarding you bonus points for being able to skillfully use a gated shifter with your off hand in a LHD car. Your commitment to authenticity has not gone unnoticed

First impressions after a few Welsh stages in the Escort MK2 using a G27 and default in-game settings. Profiler at 105% 0% 0% 0% 540º.
Calibration works nicely, although 900º was too much for me and my puny arms so I dropped the rotation in the Logitech software to 540 and disabled soft lock which worked as a good compromise.
On to the driving feel. Having not used my wheel in the game previously, I can't say what has changed but I can say that what is there now is solid. The feeling of weight and inertia through the wheel is quite natural, with counter-steer being intuitive. The only early criticisms I could pinpoint would be an ever present, light ratting which can muddy the signal, hopefully that can be tweaked out. Also the FFB can become a little vague at low speeds. Especially noticeable coming out of hairpins where I was using a fair bit of guess work to keep the back end in line.
Overall, CM have done a nice job. Not quite there with the best sims but a good base to work from.

I dunno. In some cases it seems controllers have also improved but at the same time it also feels harder to control. I dunno how to describe it. Like in the daily, I can feel the "weight" of the Mini without having vibration on but at the same time at 4th gear it seems hard to keep the car on the road. Probably just me sucking.
Either way, I'm glad they added the Sprint/Long designations to the tracks. I wish those would show up in the daily/weekly/monthly to mentally prepare myself for the "journey."

Okay, woah, I'm loving the new FFB. At first it was weird and I crashed a lot, but I just had to unlearn the way it was before. After three stages I started to "get" it and now it feels absolutely fantastic. I mean, if feels so much more natural, like the car and road gives me feedback. I'm finding it so much easier to drift around turns too. I'm still getting used to it but I've already beat one of my fastest lap times on the middle of Pike's Peak.
I'm not sure, but honestly it might be the best FFB I've ever felt in a racing game. RBR seems comparable, not sure which game's is best. I also don't have PCars or Asseta Corsica yet either, I've heard theirs is pretty good. But man I wish Euro Truck had FFB this good, lol!
Nice job Codemasters, very well done.
