Thanks. What are your settings for the T300 control panel? I hear that soft-lock is the best way to go since it changes the rotation to each cars real life rotation

Was that the Rallycross challenge? I did that one too and I think with a little practice I could manage OK, but thats on a wide rally cross track.....not sure about trying to control something that fast on these narrow rally courses.

That is a great video. So many years of playing driving games assuming I just need to drift round this corner, without even thinking about all the rest of it.
Yeah, was a big jump from the Fulvia, but yeah, it'll require a ton of focus on the narrow courses, I drove the 70's Opel in Greece and that was bad enough!

That technique was missing in the video you posted earlier. The hard-abrupt turn-in then correct, instead of smooth and steady throughout. Good to prevent understeer when going into a corner.
Edit: Does it have a name?

Yeesh, my Forza Horizon muscle memory made for a rough first go at this game. I think i spent more time upside-down than wheels down.
Mental note....powerslides are real things not to be messed with.

This game is sooo good. Not only the physics, weight transfer, controller feel out of the box, all the things previously mentioned, but the little things akin to a PC game too.
I love that you can adjust the seat position on the fly. I love that you can have a button for the wipers. I LOVE that I can have the co-driver calls come through the DS4. Such wonderful little additions that make a big difference.
Great game. Brutal, but it'll be great fun practicing to get better. Persistence and patience are the key.
It's just amazing that this exists on console.

beginners welcome! i made the theague and i cant stop crashing, so you'll be fine.
it starts in about 30 minutes and goes until Saturday morning. we can always call it before then and make another one if we are tired of it or it doesnt work out.
have fun and dont cut!
I dont like soft-lock, so i have 540 degs for DiRT Rally.
Otherwise,
75%
100%

By the game.
I made something stupid on the PC league yesterday. I decided to race with the Alpine without knowing the car (60s cars are easy to handle, yeah). Did Ok on the last four stages, but in the first two I was awful. ;(
Anyway, I find it weird to have the obligation to do the 6 tracks in one tackle. I wasn't intending to do that.

What I hate about this is that I always seem to get an "unrecoverable" crash at like the 4th stage.
So I have zero chance of winning but Ive invested enough time for it to be annoying.
Yup, that'd be good, we can even draw the "beginners event from hell" to a close early if people want!

You have to buy your cars with cash and you can also "lease" better mechanics for between-stage repairs. Other than those aspects theres not a whole lot to tie the career mode together at first glance.
But having to work for cars seems like a good motivation to keep going.
There are unlockable cars with special liveries, but don't think there are any hidden special models.

Not as far as I can tell. You can go through each class and see what cars are available to buy but some of them are quite expensive (500,000 credits and you get about 10k credits when you win a rally)

In short, both consoles are almost identical.

Don't do it, its a cruel cruel noobs trap
. Damn that first Stage ate me alive.
(I am PSN Skigazzi on the leaderboard)
just hit an interesting bug on xbone.
after i completed the second race i chose to view league standings and it goes to a screen that says NO ENTRIES. i can back out of the screen and im forced to quit to dashboard and reset the game...
hopefully my crappy time saved on the second stage.
edit: yeah it didnt save my time...
dont click on View league Standings in between stages.

Man, it's a bit jarring transitioning from the 60s class to 70s class. The understeer to oversteer is making my first few stages pretty ugly and slow in the 70s class.
ok, so you cant redo the whole event once you beat it then. i wasnt sure what all the options were at the time. i didnt see an option for restarting mid-event either, but i wasnt looking very hard.
well 3 days is going to be too long then.
those are some fun tracks! i didnt have an real crashes, but i went pretty slow for most of it. pretty fun event.
ok, i gotta hit the sack in a few. catch up with you guys later. enjoy the first 3 stages!

I think it works great! I like how the duration gives everyone a chance to set a time, and no retries is punishing but effective, just like the online events
Great selection of stages! I messed up on the first one, one moment of losing concentration and I was upside down in a tree

WRC cars and specially the 2010 cars are really stable and easy to drive, you can also use the extra power to get out of tricky situations, wide turns, close calls, etc. The only car that I can't drive or barely can is the Lancia 037 in Sweden, it feels like an F1 car on ice. You can try every car in the custom event though, they aren't locked away until you buy them.
Yup, that's the one.

Got this game a week ago and super loving it.

Is this the PC league everyone is playing on?

Ok somehow my wheel is now working with the game on my main account. I deleted the save data and booted the game up with the G29 attached, the issue still arose where the wheel just seemed dead with no buttons working, so I switched to my US account and once again the wheel magically sprung to life. Downhearted I switched back to my main account and for some reason the wheel started working, rejoice. I've rebooted the game and the console a few times and its still working.
Time to git gud!

Driving 2000s,2010s and R4 (and probably group A) shouldn't be a problem with the controller with some practice.
Group b on the other hand....
Thats exactly what it does. It's poorly done in DiRT Rally. It basically makes it harder to turn the wheel past the set soft lock rotation point by applying a lot of force.
So it's better to just set eg. 540 on drivers and not worry about killing your wheel's FFB motor.
Oh, so it doesnt truly mimic every cars rotation. Good to know.
Should I be using fan forced for DR as well?
Nice!
I might need to mess with my gamma settings but I found this completely impossible.
I just knocked sensitivity down one notch. Added one notch of deadzone. Left linearity alone. IDK if it really helped or I just was getting more familiar with the game. New wheel gets here tomorrow so... not gonna spend too much time messing with it.
