The only thing that makes me feel good about that is the fact Lucius will probably beat it!
I had this problem. Go to controls menu and set brakes and throttle. I have a DFGT and even when the axxis was correct, it only uses half of it by default. Once this changes, driving is much more forgiving (and gratifying).Orgun said:
Lately I haven't been able to play too much. Today I've played 74 build for the first time and somehow it feels better. I don't know why, but it feels better. I did 1,27,x at Imola. There're lots of turns that I still don't really know how to take, but that's part of the fun, isn't it? Now having played many sims doesn't help either.
Anyway, I'm having a lot of fun and the AI is entertaining in its own way. Kind of retarded, but entertaining nonetheless. I think it's a very good starting point.
That's not what I mean. When you go to controls, select configure buttons. Then go to Throttle and Brakes and set the buttons you want to use, pedals in this case. From then on, the game registers them to their fullest instead of only the second half. The game recognises the pedals by default, but for some odd reason, the vanilla configuration is set so it only registers the second 50% of the pedals. That's why you have to overwrite it.Orgun said:
On the other options I have set 10 in both sensitivity and 0 in dead zones. I hope that helps.

Right I'm jumping back in.

I had lag too, at least with the different vision options (looking behind you etc.), possibly also with controls. Hopefully it's something they can just find and fix. If not, I guess we have to donate $25,000 and jump into their meetings to bug them about it. Though technically I guess team members can create forum threads...maybe?Kyaw said:
I signed onto the project to support it even though I don't have a wheel and am not a big racing person. For what it's worth, it automatically detects, maps, and supports a wired 360 controller, so you can probably play it that way if you wish. For that matter you can even steer with the arrow keys, but that's NOT advised. =Pgragy10 said:

Treat it like a woman.Kyaw said:I definitely don't have the confidence i had in iRacing, F1 2011 or GT5...
Everything just wants to spin and kill me in a horrible roll.
Slow and gentle at first. Faster as you get more confidence. Really stick it to her when you know your way around.
I couldn't do shit at first but I fly around now. I still spin a lot, but I can always identify what I did wrong.

Was 74 the one released on Friday or is it an early release?
Edit: New one. Nice!

Hmm, I just noticed the "discounted items" thing in the tier list. Have they announced if they are planning microtransactions/paid DLC?
At any rate, I think I am going to make a silly challenge if anyone in this thread is interested, assuming Evilore/mods don't mind. Can someone (the OP?) volunteer to track how many GAF people have signed up for the project, and what their level is? Here's the deal:
If enough GAF people sign up to total 1000 euros ($1366 USD or so), at whatever level, I will match that by upgrading my own account to the 1000 euro level. Then if any graphics people at GAF can chip in, we can get our own billboard, livery, and so forth. I don't know how the discounted items and track day stuff will work, but presumably that bonus might be something that works for everyone.
Anyway, if no one is interested, that's fine and I'll save money, but if anyone is interested, it would take 100 junior member accounts, or 40 team member accounts to reach the goal. Thoughts, anyone?

The business model is F2P with DLC. That's as far as I know. You get a free copy of the game, but that's a bit silly, considering the game is F2P, so I asume all Team Members get all the content for free. That said, maybe the DLC that hits down the line will not be for free... I don't know. I should ask :-/

I'm a team member.
I find the entire structure of this to be a bit confusing, to be honest.

Oh wow, the F77 /tearsofjoy - not my video
Once this has multiplayer I say we scrap the F1 2011 league and run a F1 '77 league

My question:
So, there's a thing I don't understand about the business model we're in. The game (C.A.R.S.) will be F2P, then there will be paid DLC for those wanting more content. Okay, that's easy, then the Terms & Conditions say that Team Members will get a free copy of the game once it's released. The thing is, this is a F2P game, so a free copy of a F2P game doesn't sound that great. So I asume we're talking about the game plus all the DLC. Then there's this discounted items thing that makes things very complicated. So, what's the deal here? Do we get the game+all DLC? Do we get the game for free (everybody does)+discounted items? Then what's this free game we are talking about? And by Team Members get a free copy you mean Juniors don't get the free copy?
I think it's a bit confusing.

It definitely seems like they should've figured this out before people were able to buy in.
With that said, I don't really care what they do. As long as I get the game for free, or a fair bit of content, then it's all gravy.

Yeah, i don't really care much about how they are planning on monetizing it.
They've already said that if it's F2P, we'll get 25 euros worth of DLCs and if it's not F2P, we'll get the game for free. On top of that, we'll also get paid if the game sells enough copies.
Plus, the game will be built on the voices of the community and it will pretty much close to what most of the people want. It should be a great journey.

Thanks for looking into it. That means that the payment back to the "investors" (even though they have lots of legal wording saying it's not an "invesment") would be out of whatever monetization scheme they decide on eventually. Hopefully it works out. Worst case, everyone loses their money due to tax fraud or something. =Pfresquito said:
Anyway, if I get some spare time I should look into the forums again. Did you happen to spot anything about input latency? I would like to at least make sure that's an issue they're aware of.
