I think what I learned is everyone else kills me in the tight section of that track. I've been up a second at the second checkpoint and lost it by the bridge. I think I need to get better at bumper or hood cam. I always seem to over brake in tight sections when in chase cam.

It seemed like the only place I would gain on you is the right hander at the top of the hill before the bridge - I go right to the wall where you take it a bit wider. I do think the cars feel more responsive in bumper or bonnet cam so defo worth a try.

Notes
1) One:1 smashed the boards lol
2) The only reason the P1 is that high is because you get a full boost bar every lap when your hotlapping.
3) The RUF CTR3 is a terrible hyper. In fact, it has a lot of times slower than the super class.
4) Ferrari 599XX is missing from the list because its online only and their are no online lap times But if I was to guess, it would be between the Huayra and Lykan
5) Caterham SP was faster than every other super in pretty much every track. Pure dominance.
6) The VUHL is surprisingly quick
7) More people need to hotlap with the Mazzanti and especially the 650S. No reason for the 12C to be that much higher
8) Caterham superlight is much slower than I anticipated

I know some cars will be shifting slightly in the future and some others need for hotlappers to look at (650S) but this should give you a pretty good idea on what car to choose when racing online if you want the best chance of winning.

It's important to note the 599XX will be available (I think with the next patch?) for drivers at level 50 to race whenever they want

Was getting hounded by a Mazzanti all race...smh.

Nice! Then I can see them tonight when I'm home. (Dutchie here, 09:30 in the morning right now)

Update downloading here in AU Only just powered up my PS4 so it may have been there a while.

[Gacha-pin]

away from the game and the tread for a bit. What is this?

 

[Shaneus]

Since my post it's been "Preparing to download..." and only at 83%. No idea what the fuck it's preparing, but it's taking it's sweet-arse time.

Yep, I'm at 91% after about 10 minutes. Never seen this before.

Downloading!

That'll be all the Motorstorm models!

 

[Gacha-pin]

blown away. wish the replay mode was in the game when I beat the tough events like venom hot lap.

 

[leng jai]

I love you too Evo.

Whoo hoo!

It's checking what patch data to skip since all patches are included in the download.

When it's done preparing to download you'll notice it has skipped a lot of the download.

 

[Putty]

Replays are great. The driver cam where you see the driver is nuts. Reacts to everything, crashes, car momentum all very realistic and natural looking. And the best bit, he looks in the mirror when you use the look back button 8)

 

[Shaneus]

I wasn't super, super impressed with the replay TBH. I only checked out one and it was very quick, but I need to have a tinker with it a bit.

Did get to drive the 599XX in an offline race, though! Thanks Rushy <3

Can't wait to dig into them volume levels.

 

[Summer Haze]

I love you too Evo.

'Player Engine Volume'

Which one of those effects tire squeal?

 

[airjoca]

Found a replay on YT, looks pretty good:

It took me a while to recognise the track having never seen it from those angles!

 

[Tommi84]

'Player Engine Volume'

This will go UPP!!!

Which one of those effects tire squeal?

"i'd assume this is Player Misc.


SFX Environmentals will also go UP UP UP

I'm not sure if this has been posted, but GameInformer seems to be the first major site that has gone back and revisited DC after all the updates

Can't say I'm that impressed with the implementation of replays. The camera angles are mostly useless. The trackside cameras look cool but the way they zoom in/out and pan you could potentially miss something when the car is far away or when the cameras change. The vehicle cameras are all pretty useless as well.

The only good ones are the gameplay cameras but the potential there is lost because we can't watch the top times replays from the leaderboards. Has anyone played Trials: Fusion? Every time on the leaderboard has a ghost/replay attached and can be watched by anyone at any time. It's flapping awesome for learning a course and picking up tips and tricks from other players. It's all automatic and requires no saving/uploading by the user.

What's with the 50 replay limit? Surely it should be unlimited provided you have space on the hard drive? Are they saved on their servers instead? If they are, then why can't we do what Trials does?

Seems like a missed opportunity. Oh well, bring on private lobbies now!

Can't please everyone fella, though the way Evo are handling DC, if more pewople chime in with similar gripes, i'm sure Evo will act on it.

My 1st replay of a record run, note I think I should set time abit later.

I hope i don't presume too much, but i have sent some of you guys a friendship request (the ones i recognized by name on the DRIVECLUB-GAF friend list), because everyone on my list stopped playing and i barely ever get any challenges. Not that i'm especially good at them, but it would be nice to at least get to do some occasionally.

If anyone else wants to add me, my PSN is everlong416.


As for the update, very cool, can't wait for the cars and tours next week. It's a shame though that you can't choose any alternative liveries for the 599XX.

Add me. NIBZY

I might update the club to include one or two more active players, so if you're interested, not in a club and playing a lot, I might have a spot for you.

 

[Summer Haze]

HHNNNNNNGH, engine sounds are so damn punchy in cockpit view now. an;'t wait to hear thunder/lightning storms with the environmental sounds turned all the way up too.

And the brightness/contrast issue has been fixed also. Now I can make a start on the latest two expansions.

 

[dreamstation]

That's true. They've been pretty good with listening up until now and the fact that they are still updating the game is something!

HHNNNNNNGH, engine sounds are so damn punchy in cockpit view now. an;'t wait to hear thunder/lightning storms with the environmental sounds turned all the way up too.

Damn straight! Loving the sounds even more now. If you read the tooltip down the bottom it tells you what is controlled by each setting. I'm sure I read that crowd cheering was part of environmental effects which sucks. I want loud thunder, not loud cheering!

Thanks, i've sent you a FR. I appreciate the Club offer and would gladly go for it, but i own one myself. Though i sort of have the same problem with inactive club members. XD

Regarding the new replay function, i just tried it out a bit and oh my god, i never knew i wanted this, but now that it's here i love it!

Edit:

Sent you a FR and a few others while I was at it.

Yeah, saw it and accepted earlier, thanks!

Well, they're better than nothing for sure, they don't blow me away but it's a good start.

I totally agree with the Trials Fusion thing, that would have been great.

 

[Summer Haze]

Yeah, the 'player misc' settings seems to affect tire squeal. I've kept it at default, though, as the louder engine sounds in cockpit drowns almost everything else out. XD

 

[Duallusion]

Hmm, spinning around/going off track/hitting a wall in drift events still isn't penalized nor do speed sections seem to be giving any more points. Cars do seem to loose less speed while drifting but that just might be my imagination. And they've moved back the starting position a bit in at least one drift event - that Race Track India 2 one that people seem to love for some reason, judging by community challenges.

Changes are subtle, to say the least.

 

[benzy]

The trackside cameras for the point to point tracks look pretty great. I think for the car cameras hopefully we'll get an update that has camera angles similar to the Lamborghini trailer.

Norway Pagani Replay with trackside cam.
