Sim Racers Journey
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2021
We started this channel to create a Community, a Sim Racers Community. I'm sort of new to this (at least I'm new at taking this eSport seriously), I'm not particularly good and I've got a lot to learn. I want to create a Community of other people on this Journey as well. So whether you're new or kinda new to Sim Racing, an experienced Sim Racer, or on the sidelines (maybe "in the pits" is a better analogy) we'd love to have you join us on this Journey!!
Going forward we'll be streaming live occasionally, doing reviews (hardware, accessories and various Racing Sims) as the opportunity arises, creating content that hopefully is helpful on this Journey and sharing resources as we find them.
But at the end of the day Sim Racers Journey is about Community!
See you on the track!

Assetto Corsa Competizione V1.8 Console Update VERY First Impression
Assetto Corsa Competizione V1.8 VERY First Impression -
It’s HERE… the long awaited, highly anticipated V 1.8 Console Update has arrived. This short video is our “Out of the box”, actual first impression gives you a chance to ride along with us on a 2 lap tryout at Spa. What you’ll see is the actual first 2 laps we took with V1.8.
This video will be a part of a somewhat more in depth look at V1.8 that will be out soon, but we wanted you all to see our gut level, literal, first impression!! The Full First Impression video will cover AI races, figure out how to load setups (I think I know, but haven’t had time to try it), see how much our old Setus need tweaked (or trashed), try rain, night, check out Force Feedback more rigorously (so far it’s very good), get familiar with the new tire model and so on!
Spoiler alert… we liked it. Hopefully that’ll hold up once we spend a few hours with it.
See you on the track!!

Conical break mod I am struggling with. I step on the real and I am locking my tires (according to crew chief ). Would love to know your gamma settings in assetto corsa
Thanks for this most informative review. Good job.
My pleasure!
Fascinating backstory. I'll make sure to check out your other videos.
Sorry... been away from SimRacing for a while.Working to get a studio built in the basement. A rig in the Family Room isn't a long term thing! Check back from time to time and see when we're back!
Really great content it helped me make the decision to buy one,im really pleased with the rig.thanks for making the video.
Glad you got something out of it, enjoy your rig!
Thanks for you video. I have one question tough. Does having "tire wear" on and fuel and damage also "on" gives you a higher SA rating? Thanks in advance
Sorry for the slooow reply, was on vacation. Not that I'm aware of.
@@simracersjourney3443 No problem Thanks for responding 👍🏻
Good 👍
Thanks!
Awesome 👍🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done mate 👍🏻 Cheers from Western Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks!!
Great video, the game on ps5 has improved a lot
Mate. Put Console update in the title. Helps with the search. Menu or the 3 lines will get you to setups. Dirty windscreen on lap 2 with no other cars? Good? You were on controller when your pedals weren't working. And some buttons are hard coded which is why you were looking left and right in car. Why they did that? Who knows. This update is another online multiplayer stuff up. Not as bad as 1.7 but its coming a close 2nd.
Thanks for the tip, much appreciated! Done!
Thanks! Always appreciate input!! I read that the menu button works for setups after we shot the video, so that's good to know. The windscreen dirty after 2 laps on an empty track, good point. We'll see when we spend more time with it. The controller was off, I verified that at the 6:24 mark. The hard coded L & R view buttons are new. We'll see what kind of patches come out for this one, but to me it's not nearly the mess the 1.7 update was. And maybe, just maybe, they could provide a bit of documentation so discovering what button does what isn't a game unto itself. thanks again!
1.8 console update. Many of us are waiting patiently with building excitement. We all have only 9 days left till the major release what will change ACC gameplay a lot. I’m from London UK and have been racing AC and ACC on PS4 and PS5. I’ve raced over 1000+ hours on AC and over 1000+hrs on ACC PS4 version. Now building up big time on PS5. Joined a league, fantastic! True addict, aren’t you? Since release of ACC I had many serious problems with the game. And with every new update, with release of PS5 console, with new ACC console version I have felt a lot of new optimistic expectations followed by disappointment and a letdown from game developers. I’ve been lucky to always have a good FFB on my T300 Ferrari Alcantara edition and now DD1, but there were other problems what took a lot of nerve and patience. It’s hard to remember all the issues but there are few what stand out to me. For example not able to join multiplayer and the proposed fix was to delete my carefully selected 300 racing friends from AC and ACC. Of course I refused to do that and kept waiting till issue was fixed. That was a big wait but I used time to practice my racing in single player. Another problem is crashing Career. It crashed on three occasions trying to complete career endurance race of 3hours non stop racing. It crashed twice somewhere in last leg. Other day I completed the race, crossed finish line and while checking lap times game crashed not saving my career endurance progress. I was fuming! Another issue we all experienced was game simply crashing midrace, it happened a lot. So annoying and was makings me really angry when I had a good race. Then replay save crash needs to be looked at. Even now after all possible updates on PS5 software and ACC PS5 version updates I am experiencing game crashes, some DD1 disconnects, poor visuals as shading under cars, cars flickering. Other minor game bugs - Pit entrance notice issue, not able to use mapped buttons to look left/right as I can on AC version, no in cockpit turn indicators and headlighs LED’s. Sound issues after watching replay and rejoining track. One occation I had cockpit view flickering in career race, there was no flickering from outside view. Many gamers have poor FFB and other issues with game. The most major is game crashing and disconnects while racing leagues Championships. Over 2 years time since ACC console release game is not in a perfect state yet, but it’s playable and enjoyable. I wish there was more communication and a HELPING HAND between Kunos and UntoldGames who develops console version now. I wish thee was more communication from 505games what is distributor’s of console ACC. And I believe we console players deserve an APOLOGY from 505 games and Kunos for a big letdown because I believe game is not completed, it’s got many problems and is like in a beta version. We PS5 players are lucky to have both versions available to play side by side on PS5. I switch between PS5 and PS4 version because PS5 lobbies has small attendance numbers. With 1.8 version PS5 and Xbox UntoldGames has to nail it. No excuses, it has to be perfection. Watching official Kunos ytube channel I learned Marcos, Aris and team still have that passion, they put a lot of effort developing PC 1.8 version what is a massive overhaul of ACC what changed already great game to something fascinating and they are proud of it. Would be shame if UntoldGames would do a poor job with console 1.8 version and drop all that KUNOS effort down in a mud. We don’t know what to expect precisely, announcement stated upgraded tyre model and 400hz + different liveries? We will see. Researching PC 1.8 update, numerous patch notes and reviews I learned about UPDATED rain visuals, rain tyre handling, rain track limits, cars BOP’s, reworked replay camera angles, mist and dew conditions, car night lights, bmw fuel consumption,there is so much more. PC 1.8 version is always updated. So which 1.8 version + latest update we console gamers will receive is not known yet. But it will change the game for sure.
Hey Kris! Thanks for the comment! I feel your pain!! The Next Gen update has been a mess. Inconsistent problems, although the latest update seems to have smoothed most everything out. At least for the Single Player version. I'm cautiously optimistic they'll get it right, or pretty close to right, not the train wreck 1.7.xxx was. ACC is the Gold Standard for realism on consoles, I'd hate to see us all left standing around with a mediocre V1.8.
@@simracersjourney3443 I’m optimistic!
It's nice to see some Americans covering this game on consoles. I was thinking about making a video about it. You should try World of Outlaws Dirt Racing coming out Sept 27th ive been covering that.
Thanks! I'll give World of Outlaws a look!! One of the intentions of our channel is to appeal to the console people. I'd LOVE to have a high end gaming computer, but our budget, like many others, doesn't have room for it now. So a channel for those in the console realm made sense to us. Also, we're definitely not super, alien level drivers!!
@@simracersjourney3443 Yea there are always someone faster.
I'm a older gamer and love this game so far on console (PS5) thank you for the video
Hey Wayne!!! I'm an older gamer as well! Love seeing some of us seasoned gamers involved in Sim Racing! Really happy you liked the video!!
Thanks for these handy tips, i will set the drivers skill to 90 or higher because i don’t like the unexpected braking in de corners, also maybe if you have a car behind you thats close will given you more sa potentially. So maybe driving in 19th or higher.
Glad it helped!! Anything you can do to be near another car raises SA, the important thing is to be close without any contact!!
Thanks for the information. I am a recent newcomer to Sim racing and, in particular, ACC and couldn't understand why the most recent versions of the new cars weren't available to use on PS5, e.g 2022 Audi. I presume from your video we wont be getting the most recent update of the last few days, but rather the 1.8 which has been out on PC for a while?
Hey! Welcome to Sim Racing! If you're on a console, PS5 in your case, you're running 1.7x. Sometime in September we should get the 1.8 update, bringing us close to the PC. Then the new cars and tracks sometime in November/ December. I hope this answers your question.
@@simracersjourney3443 It does, appreciate the feedback.
It doesn't feel like the old assetto the ffb sucks
The FFB is all over the map sometimes. I will say that the update to the update, improved things. Generally the FFB has been working for me, but occasionally, it just drops off altogether. Ley's hope the 1.8 Update works and we can put this mess behind us!
I can see why the FOV menu might seem like a better idea initially in the menu, I've played games like automobilista 2 on PC where that is the case, however they don't allow you to change it anywhere else. The issue that arises from this is you can't see the changes being made in real time, I like the way they have it set up but you are correct they should have it in in that menu as well.
Good point on the actually seeing the changes! It's a minor thing, but struck me as cumbersome.
@@simracersjourney3443 I felt the same exact way when I first got in the game, I think it still needs work even on PC. You always have to click drive in order to change your view even when you are in the pit adding that selction like you noted would absoluetly solve that issue!
I have to disagree with the racing line. "Too distracting," and with traffic, it doesn't play.
Agree that the racing line doesn't work with traffic. That said, avoiding being in situations that either take you off the line significantly, or put you in the midst of a lot of traffic is something to be avoided when accumulating SA. And I agree that the racing line can be distracting, but often people who are working to increase their SA are new to the game and usually find it helpful. Thanks for the feedback... bottom line, is whatever works for you, but I found the methods shared in the video to work very well for me.
Great shirt! Good work.
Thanks! Slava Ukraini!!
"Hopefully the setups transferred over." Yeah. PC players have no idea how many hours go into manually inputting those. The older versions had bugs that could wipe them out after a hard crash and I would start all over again. It's a big deal they were there.
So far all my data (setups, stats, etc) transferred fine. I can't imagine the hassle of having to reenter all my setups... My wheel feels good now, it's consistent with the exception of the occasional dump to the Xbox home screen. Now we wait for the upgrade to the 1.8.X level. I just hope they take the time and do it right!
You didn't consider that in FM7, in the race advanced options, you can choose rain intensity - and there's a lot of types - and probability at start, mid and end race... and this is nice, because you get the track grip change during the race. You also didn't mention that in FM7, according to speed and amount of water on track you may aquaplane, but sometimes your car get slowed down abruptly instead (and it's not fun, especially when you catch a puddle only with one side of the car)
I'll check the rain options out. Thanks! And, you're right, I didn't mention the puddles slowing you down, I think I just was so used to it that it didn't register as a "feature". Thanks for the input, much appreciated!!
@@simracersjourney3443 Thank you for your prompt reply! In my opinion, the main FM7 downfall is the lack of a real "racing weekend", with qualifying sessions. AND standard wheel setup (I use a G920) is poor: it takes time to set it in a convincing way, while AC is nearly perfect out-of-the-box. But in FM7 try, for instance, to accelerate with one side of the car on the grass: this IS simulation. Another great detail you can check with a rear-wheel drive car: stop on a parabolic bend, so the car leans to one side and then start making the wheels spin as much as possible; the back of the car will start sliding according to the slope, even if the car hasn't started moving yet.
Hello please im getting frame rate drops especially in corners with the next gen update. Didnt exist before. Im on series s
I'm not sure what would be causing this. If I find anything on this I will get back to you! Thx!!
My XBOX Series S version is really smooth with excellent frame rates. I race with a xbox controller and the steering and racing is really good. My lap times are the same as with my PS4 and a wheel. My SA rating increased much quicker with this next Gen version than it did when I first started with the PSR.
Wow... I admire anybody who can race with a controller, especially in ACC. That's some serious skill! I love the frame rate and smoothness of the graphics as well, big improvement!! Thanks for the comment and for watching the video!
She's a mixed bag for sure. Feels like a beta version but I am confident they will sort it. I am surprised that it has so many issues considering the first console launch. The player base will shrink and its understandable seeing as last gen can't run with more than 20 cars but cross platform would be great and I hope they can implement it some time in the future. I found it interesting that you are also experiencing the gritty sandy feeling in your wheel base. I have the Fanatec Clubsport and have the same feeling. Haven't been able to dial it out. I'm putting it down to not updating the firmware yet. Might make a difference. Good video thanks.
Thanks for the comment and for watching!! I was so pumped for this update, and then, well, not so much. A very mixed bag indeed. Surprising variance in people’s reactions... we all have the same update, some love it, some hate it and some are in between. Agree about cross platform, hope it happens! The FFB is VERY weird, I swear it's changed from my first drive to now. Gritty is the only word I found for the feeling, gritty and weak. 505 Games has responded to the issues already, and based on what they said they are aware of issues and working on it! Hope so!!! 505games.com/assetto-corsa-competizione-playstation-5-and-xbox-series-x-s-launch-update-and-next-steps/?fbclid=IwAR2MFpYmuE3jGzMpQZ0HCvQVDgbHyQJEsZz8vQ3I6fkwT4QkCJWUk1ZFzYs
@@simracersjourney3443 I'm sure they'll sort it. The FFB has changed just can't put my finger on it. I just watched a video and the fella seemed more worried about the virtual mirror. 😂😂🤞
I noticed the mirror as well, but the FFB is what's really messing with me!
Great to find another Xbox Series X Sim racer. Does your wheel work good and fun for ACC among any others? I'm gonna get a Logitech G920 due to low cost for my new Series X. I've had a G27 on PC for YEARS. I can't justify spending more for a little better FFB.
Hey! Thanks for the watch and the comment. And as you said it's great to find others on Xbox Series X running ACC. I have a Thrustmaster TMX and it works great, especially on ACC. My wheel works well with Project Cars 2 and Forza 7 Check out the review we did a little while back on the TMX Pro and pedals - th-cam.com/video/qYHsI7UkT7M/w-d-xo.html Drop your Gamer Tag, maybe we can race together!
Thanks for tips, you can also earn better SA ratings by driving at 1.00 am with rain falling too
Thanks for the comment!! Rain and or night definitely helps!! I left them out because they increase the chances of collision.
nice
Thanks!! Do you have Project Cars 2? If so what do you like/ dislike about it?
Your Tyre’s are too cold. 27.5 - 27.7 is optimal for dry tyre’s. Safety ( SA) will increase faster if you drive at night or in the rain or both.
Hey Neil, thanks for the comment, input is valued and welcome, always! Agree that SA will increase faster in rain & night, but the increased chance of contact, which will decrease SA, in those conditions makes it problematic, in my opinion. Most people who are in the process of increasing SA are new to ACC, and may not have the experience to safely race in the rain, and/ or at night. On the tire pressure point, I don't remember what PSI they were at, but it's likely they were low, since I wasn't pushing the car very hard, but only trying to maintain a position, of at or near the back of the pack to drive close or alongside someone, to increase my SA.
I let the track map for incident quick check only . How many SA you gain per race 30min ? 1SA and 1more for finishin the race ?
I'd usually gain 2-3 SA per 30 minute race. 3 if I was able to spend a lot of time beside the competition on straights.
@@simracersjourney3443 i actualy test a 25min race with ai 85 and aggressiv 80 and gain 3 or 4 SA if i stay wheel to wheel on straight and large turn . 1 AI behind 1 AI toward. If you cant drive well at SPA take a flat track like Silverstone Kilamy Monza Misano P.RRcard these track have a lot of space for 2 wild
i'm trying to get into simracing (xbox) and found you. I like your videos
Thanks!! I'm really happy you enjoy the videos. My next video is about exactly what you mentioned, How To Get Into SimRacing! Should be ready in a few days. I think sometimes it is made to seem so complicated, and it doesn't have to be!
Nice vids man keep it up :) wanna join the world of Sim Rancing an maybe back to stream it, do you stream at all? Thanks and Have fun!
Hey Thanks!! Sorry for the slow reply. Our son was in town for Thanksgiving. Sim Racing is awesome!! I'm working on a video that you might find helpful, How To Get Into SimRacing. It should be done in a few days! I haven't streamed yet, it's coming though.
Like the video, lime what things you decided to say and how you do it. Got the same "issues" when building it. Either way I am very happy and pleased with using this cockpit, would recommend it easily!
Thanks Luka!! I really like it as well... great value, great product!!
This is awesome! Great to see you racing with the community very exciting trailer! I noticed that your on Xbox hopefully in the future you will be able to move over to the PC! Looking forward to the video!
So... the dreaded curse of technology I mentioned, bit me on this adventure! I was on the grid in a different car much to my surprise!! Also I was suddenly sent to the pits with my controls locked for 1:30. Week after next we'll be at Hungaroring for another go at it! We'll drop a short video later this week to explain our adventure!! And yes... a PC is in the plans!!
@@simracersjourney3443 oh man I can't wait for this to come out! Looking forward to it! Sounds like a epic time!
The video is out, sadly only 2 other showed up to race that evening, one retired early after wrecking his car.
Sweet
Thx SW!!!
This is a great in depth review! I really appreciate the time and effort you put into this! Thank you!
Thx SimFin! Much appreciated. Check out some of our other content and please subscribe!!
Are you small or is your chair very big🤨
That looks like a big chair to me haha
LOL... Somewhere in between those 2 things. The seat is BIG and I'm kinda short!
Great video, I watched start to finish. I think you start live streaming on twitch. Maybe ACC just racing.
Thx!!! I’ve thought about Twitch, not quite ready to Livestream just yet, but soon!!
Hey SW, i'm racing tonight. Not live streaming, but actual multiplayer racing. The edited video should go up next week. I'll probably post the entire race as well, but it's 45 minutes.
@@simracersjourney3443 I’ll make sure to watch
If you could take one of those cars for one lap around the track of your choice, which car/track would you chose?
It would have been the 2016 LeMans class winning Ford GT or the 1967 overall LeMans winning Ford GT MkIV. How about you??
Sweet
Thanks Dude!!
Wow great job! Keep it up

Wow that was really good (Jake)
