Gah I was thinking "I've made a huge mistake" with the wheel then I noticed the in game wheel was barely turning when I was turning the wheel. Had to knock down the saturation to like 30% to get it close to rally car lock to lock. MUCH better but still slower than I was doing on the controller.

Glad you told me that. To try different cars or just setups?

Oh my god
I just managed to afford the Suburu Impreza in the R4 class.
It's literally like a different game.
This truly is the rally game we need, but not the one we deserve. Praise be.

So can someone give me some pointers on 1600cc rally cross? Im running the Renault and no matter how I set up the car Im getting out dragged off the line and I cant manage better than 4th. I think Im running decent laps too but this just seems way harder than the club rally championship.
I reran the ps4 league event under my alt account, and shaved a little over 2 minutes. Luckily my alt matches my name here, so that will be me moving forward (TheGodOfWine), makes sense for this league.
It gave me hope that there may be a lot more speed hidden (really hidden) in me.

Had a bad run, so I decided to go with it and TRY to kill my car. About 18 minutes of the following, it finally died. Yes, amazingly it took that long.

Keep trying with that car until you get enough points to get your first car upgrade. This upgrade will give advanced setup options. With that you can set the gears to much shorter, which in turn will help you to get much faster of the starting line.
3 seconds off winning the Swedish Rally on the Clubman level with the Fiat 131, 3 seconds, 3.......damn.........seconds........
It was intense, I actually seem to do fairly well at Sweden now, much of it seems to be down to learning the tracks, because the co-driver calls are......lets say......somewhat inconsistent..
I wish there were more Rally cross cars, maybe some more classics, or at least some RWD ones.

I thought so too at first but one suggestion in this thread changed everything: set sensitivity to 100 and linearity to 10. So glad I read that, so thanks to whoever suggested this setting!
The difference is so huge that I almost think CM screwed up by not making those settings the default for the controller.
Also, I had to forget how I approached the older Dirt games control wise. No more super brake, for example. You really have to think ahead and not just go full throttle all the time. Tough learning curve but also very rewarding.
This made me go crazy last night.
Nah, it's not at all, you're just not very good at it ;-)

I still think 100 / 10 is way, way too touchy, might give it another try later, but I've settled on 60 / 40.
And yeah, it's one of the biggest departures from circuit racing, in circuit racing you set the car up for the upcoming corner, in rallying you need to set the car up for two corners ahead, so you really need to think differently, I've been circuit racing for a long long time, so the change is hard, but I am getting there.
But man, those patches of ice on Monte Carlo........
Also, a bit of a nitpick, I wish the replays were better, the angles are very limited, and I would prefer an external TV style camera that was always on, rather than the continually switching views which we currently have, like I said, bit of a nitpick, but it would be nice to have.
It's a nice wheel. Nicer than the driving force pro I had for PS3. You just missed the Amazon sale it was $150 though
http://youtu.be/MJoZyCWUhDs These dudes have the most indepth reviews of racing wheels. See also thier video choosing a ps4 wheel http://youtu.be/J0wouW_XxPI
You are also going to need something solid to mount it to. I have it mounted on one of these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004AYM96A/?tag=neogaf0e-20
It's pretty solid but a little flexy when you really get on it.
Having force feedback and being able to feel the tires is a whole other level... If you play allot of racing games it's really a worthwhile investment.
Yup, I want a purely cinematic camera setting for the replays as well. The switch into the cockpit with the guy talking is really jarring. A setting for purely taking in the beautiful landscapes etc. would be nice.
I'm getting DS3 as well and I justified buying Dirt Rally by knowing that I will play this game for many months and probably years to come. It's a good investment as far as my hobby is concerned and I also want to send the signal that we want pure Rally games from CM.
Have they said anything about expansions btw? There's a severe lack of Australia in this game.

Thanks, im shit at these games so i can make some of you feel better
I would imagine this link has been posted before, and it's not updated for the latest version, but I think it's worth posting again as it gives a lot of information about the cars, and new and old players can get a lot from it (IMO), plus the videos have some pretty good driving in them.....

Glad it confirmed my feelings that the RS500 is an understeery P.O.S. out of the box!

I don't know how people can drive with the chasecam, just feels so utterly bizarre to me, but each to their own.
Headcam is the most immersive, but I also think it's quite restrictive, and I can't drive as fast, Bonnet cam is the quickest for me, but you lose a lot of immersion with it, Dashcam is a comfortable compromise between the two, quicker than headcam, more immersion than bonnet cam.
What pad settings?, hardest car to drive in the game apparently.
question to those that have it. does it feel like there is enough content here? track and car wise for a full price release?
also. i assume the game has rain with the accompanying windshield effects that go with it? (always bothered me that the past DiRT games didn't even though the PS2 colin mcrae games did)
i'm super tempted by this, but the challenge of it worries me slightly. lol
cheers

Do I think there is enough content for the sticker price......hmmm......I'm going to say yes, now obviously it doesn't have the "400+ CARS" banner of games like GT and Forza, but each car is meticulously created, and they all feel genuinely different, and each one needs quite a number of hours in it to get the most out of each car.
The same goes for tracks,but the environments are diverse enough to mean that every one needs a different driving style to tackle it.
Would I like more content?, well, if they ever released DLC, I'd be all over it, but the vanilla product has a lot of hours worth of driving in it, some desert stages would have been nice, Australia or Africa.
Yes, there is rain and windshield affects, but the weather is fixed, and isn't dynamic.
It's hard, properly hard, you will crash, you will feel like you can't drive straight but it takes patience and practice, and you will get better, although each new class of cars feels like going back to square one again after getting comfortable with the preceding class!
Yeah, i get what your saying. It did feel odd to start with but im quite comfortable with it now. Id say I've probably used dashcam a bit more but im happier and more comfortable now with chasecam whilst using the DS4.

I have it set to default and am perfectly able to win races with a controller tho :/. Wondering if I change it now ill fuck up my racing flow
hmmm, i might give it a shot. i guess if it's so hard that a feel like i'm never going to progress or "git gud" i could sell it.

Its really not that hard if you've played rally games before this one. Choose the Renault Alpine as your starting car, its the best of the three imo. Ive been mostly in the top 3 in championship events, coming in first quite often. I only play with a DS4, and I am loving this game.
Content wise I think its worth the price, I only paid 47 euros for it though and I got a CollinMcRae bluray with it too.
I dunno, I played a lot of RBR back in the day, and I find DR needs more attention, focus and concentration, or it could be that I am just that much more older than I was back then!

codemasters have always had issues with replay cameras using way too many camera bolted to the car angles when it really never needs them at all, more external cameras please codies!!!

What kind of car classes are you guys focussing on first? Is it smart to buy a 1970's car after you've finished a championship with a 60's car? The only car I like there handling wise is the Fiat Abarth.
By the way do you all play with or without traction and stability control? It was off on default so I just left it off.

i love cameras where it's like a helicopter is chasing and you get to see the awesome dust clouds behind your car and vast terrain. i'd watch replays of the first WRC over and over just for that. it would play "shut your mouth" by garbage too which made it all the better.
Happy to tell you guys that next week the NeoGAF League over on PC will be run by me according to what the PS4 league is doing aswell. Scrcrw (i hope i got that right) gave me admin privileges for this.
Me & Danowat are currently planning the next rally that would begin on Sunday Evening.
This time with hopefully functioning restarts..
Of course suggestions are taken, especially on how many stages you guys want on one event but also everything else.

1:30. That's what time I was up until last night, playing this game. I have the day off today though, so it was worth it. Just messed around with the first few career races. Didn't do THAT bad..but had my share of falling off a mountain. Will try out the PS4 league event now that I'm sort of getting the hang of the controls.

v-rally 2 on PlayStation had some amazing dust clouds, I loved watching the replays in that.
not the DC or PC version though they removed a lot of the dust effect and ruined it
I'm really surprised they haven't made the leagues multiplatform themselves. I can already tell I'm going to be permanently at the bottom of the PC league leaderboards considering I'm minutes off the pace rather than seconds.
Variety is always nice, a change of surfaces after a few stages keeps you on your toes.
Sensitivity 35, linearity 55. I gave it a quick tweak on release but never really put time into tuning it!
