It's a bit funny how you act surprised that iRacing missing new fences and stuff, when everyone knows it's an older scan. They can't run to Germany every year and rescan this massive track, of course ACC is the most accurate because they just recently scanned it
Exactly what I was thinking, I've not finished the video but it seems unfair as ACC should have no faults (except the new foxhole kerb) but I do think iracing needs a new scan as it's been around 10 years
As someone who drives ACC mainly, i'm very impressed with all of them. My guess is iracing is a much older scan, and the speaker towers weren't there when it was done, but it still holds up really well. It has a lot more and in your face graffiti, but again that's probably just what time has done to it. ACC has mostly nailed it, though one of the hills off track looked off... and since it is the latest scan, they should have nailed it. Anyway, my order... ACC, iracing, gt7, forza (because of the curbing which affects racing more than the details), though all of them are quite worthy. You really should have included AMS2 too, though...
Love it mate, Thanks for you VERY Detailed Video as you did a Fantastic job having 12,000+ lap's on Assetto Corsa I am a BIG FAN of Nordschleife. It's Not perfect but is the BEST I've seen yet for a SIM game. Take care and Thanks again, "Subscribed!!!"
I just downloaded ACC and it has become my new favorite racing game of all time, i spend HOURS on it, i highly recommend wheel for full experience, controller is possible, but definitely not as good as wheel, IF YOU DON'T HAVE ACC, you are missing out
The Defense for iracing and other sims is that their scans are pretty old if you do this vid 10 or whenever they added nordshliefe in iracing it would be exact
@@SuperDRAY88yeah just that everyone wants new content instead of updating the old ones if they don’t have any major changes because it costs a lot of money to scan it and if it’s not extremely outdated ( for example spa is one that needs a redo cause the scan is 2008 or 2009) but the Nurburgring hasn’t changed much so people on iRacing are happy with it and just want more tracks (Sorry for writing essay)
Excellent vid! I absolutely love nordscheleife. As a complete noob, racing in it over and over have def helped me get better at curves. Cant be afraid to abuse those limits! 🔥
I agree, Forza has a much more natural color pallet. The others have way too much contrast and exposure...GT7 looks too clean also, no real life imperfections.
ACC: for track markers. ACC: for sun shafts, shadows, light changing with sun angles (Shaders). Forza: trees looks. I Racing: road looks. ACC close second. Iracing also has the trees good and it looks autumn(ish), like the start of fall, I really like that track look. One penalty is ACC should have no tents on low population races, and that many tents for big events. ACC, I'm surprised, this games on sale on steam and I have so many racers so i was should I buy it? this video just sold it. I really liked IRacer also, but ACC shaders, sun shafts, shadows and road and accuracy is so surprising. I I have 600+ hours in GT7 and love it, but this just gave me tons of contrast in all these games, thank you for the video, great work.
@@coy9958 fm is the most inaccurate nurburgring ever featured in any modern track racing game. Gt7 destroys fm in terms of details. Fm cant even get their cars to look right or accurate.
Knowing when they were scanned, and introduced. You'd expect ACC to be the most accurate today because that was the latest one to be introduced. I wouldn't be surprised if it's on the list for a refresh, along with Spa and a few others.
@idkhonesty-78 I hear that lol, Spotify on my phone to control off of windows and my phone attached to a phone holder like in my GTO 😅 Yup, I hear that
I don't think you have the camera set as low in gt7 as you do in the other versions. Maybe try again but go with the bumper camera, or something similarly lower. Also, I think gt7 nails the trees far better than any other version. Next to the actual track itself, the trees I think go the farthest towards getting the feel of the real life track.
Thank you for this comparison, but can you campare the nos between iracing/rf2/ams2 and acc? I think this 4 Sims has the most accurate laserscan. But, of course we know from different years. Iracing nos is 10 years old, factor2 has a 2019 scan and ams2's scan is from 2020. It could be interesting to see the comparison to the newest acc version.! I'm from Germany and of course I have all these Sims and nos tracks. Best track ever, in my opinion.
Only question I have with this video is why is Forza's camera seems to be the only one set to "below the license plate" view? Does kinda distort what you're seeing.
Considering when iRacing scanned Nords, it stands up well. ACC should be on the mark seeing as it likely the most recent scan of the track. Where were the rFactor2, AMS2 and Raceroom versions?
GT7 and Iracing still look like GTR2 and Rfactor with high res textures, crazy how the old isi engine still looks pretty good. We should have all 3D vegetation at this point, kinda crazy to still see all these 2D trees everywhere. Even GT4 with a HD texture pack still looks pretty good, not as accurate but that's ok I'm not practicing for real life so some mismatches are ok for me. I love seeing the differences in tracks in different games so this might be my inspiration to do so on video. This is a fantastic video btw!
This is a fucking amazing video. The last few years of resurfacing / digitalisation project have made all the older models feel a little outdated to real life now. I know Misha Charoudin advised ACC on some things, and it's pretty much bang on minus the foxhole resurfacing this year, and it's new death kerb. Also nice real life lap footage in there!
Trackmania has the most accurate version. Fact. I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise. Trackmania > Forza > Grand Theft Auto > GT Sport > iRacing > ACC Nordschleife FACT
If you had add a pilot and asked him to drive in all sims and in real life and he talked about the grip etc this would make more sense to me, the visuals its relative to the date of the scan.
The thing for me is, I'm new to this track. Absolutely loving forza version. iracing looks great, gt looks as good as always and acc nailed it. Gt next on the list. I have no complaints
I started sim racing on AC and learnt the Nordschleife there. Of course I also got ACC and it's version is fantastic. However ACC is limited to GT style cars and while AC modded is good, it is getting dated. I have a PC and only FM as a console port is available to me(would like if they did a port of GT7 so I could try it before making a verdict on it). So to fill a void in the meantime I also got Forza Motorsport, and while driving physics are more forgiving in a simcade, I still enjoy the Nordschleife in FM and in general the layout not so much the detail, is sufficient enough to not break the experience for me. So knowing how Kunos strive for excellence I am really looking forward to AC EVO, especially as I learnt that they are going for an in house engine(not that ACC in Unreal engine is bad, but my guess is Kunos saw limitations with regards to physics modeling). So hopefully we get the best of all worlds, that is Physics/Visuals/Day-Night Cycles/Weather and track conditions/Cars and Track selection(and if you race online, then multiplayer functionality also).🤞 I believe that I read an article a long time ago before ACC came out, that interviewed Kunos and they said ACC was part of the RD process for the spiritual successor to AC. Not long to wait now yay, and it will be interesting to see how the conversation changes then.😊
@@LorenzoClara97This is actually quite wrong. With the exception of the flags (which I think are there to help with breaking) the activity happens where it's supposed to happen. I just find it strange that people complain there is too much. But it all happens where it's supposed to happen in the track boundaries.
@@TheCommentator112You are missing the point. SIM or not, it's a game. And having more people there isn't breaking any rules. Even ACC has more than GT and I racing.
I think the most important part is the physics and how cars react to certain bumps and corners how it looks is really the last thing I’m concerned with when I’m in a “simulator” it matter more how it feels and the feedback I get to my steering wheel
Physics matter most sure, 100%, but visual accuracy does also matter if you're using it for track knowledge, which IRL is the most important thing for fastest lap times, so games/sims should strive for both
You cant really moan about missing crowd fencing from stuff scanned in 2017/18 vs stuff scanned in 2022/3 when the fencing was erected in between. The curbing is really important if you're using it as tool to learn. I personally don't use any speaker poles for breaking reference in real life or in the sims, though I know some do.... All things considered I think its nice how well GT7 stands up since release, and ACC doing a cracking a job, doesn't Iracing love its graffiti!
ACC Nordschleife is the most accurate virtual track up to date. There's no doubt about it... Because it is the latest version of the IRL Nordschleife. They did scans with all of the latest implementations on IRL track that have been done in 2023. GT7 is probably very accurate but to the very old now version of IRL track that was a decade ago if not more. We need to see when Polyphony is determined to update Nurburgring to its latest version. I'm sure they polished up nurburgring with each version of the game in terms of lighting, visuals, track physics, textures etc but still keeping that original scan layout.
Hey. Next time before you do this kind of comparision make sure to set proper FOV in each game. ACC on this vid has much lower FOV then real life footage and other games so everything is looking too big and too close, also distance between guardrails and track is looking bigger because of that.
Forza has the most realistic lighting by far, it actually looks like real life. Iracing looks stale in comparison and ACC looks over saturated and gamey.
I prefer ACC and Forza for realistic lighting and over all look. I think they are the most recent scans as well. GT loses out in nearly all critics. You are biased against Forza as always.
gt7 is already the best to start. if you play acc first you will be lost 😂 You should read the description before you drive, I think it's quite informative. If you want to start ACC, I highly recommend the TLDR playlist from the TH-cam Channel Aris.Drives. It covers the topics from the very basics the the advanced driving and tuning techniques, and explains the physics behind them. And they're also easy to follow!😁
@terrylu4894 as someone who does acc mostly, I couldn't agree more... gt7 and forza are where you get your feet wet, acc and iracing are both straight out sims and will most likely frustrate beginners. That said, all of them do have the option to put down an 'ideal line' to help if you need it, just the 2 simcade titles have much more forgiving driving physics models. I'd only recommend acc and iracing to those with experience, and iracing only to those with a very fat wallet.
Forgot to add... and this is ACC specific, you'll really only get the most out of ACC by joining groups on discord, who have a rule set you can live with as the single player experience is limited as is the AI, and the multi-player open lobbies can have some really bad driving standards.
ACC knocked it out of the park. From a drivability standpoint ACC and iRacing are nearly identical. It’ll be interesting to see the next Nordschleife update on iRacing. Hopefully by the time we see it the graphics engine will have been update to something more modern.
Considering Turn 10 has never claimed Forza to be a sim, it stacks up well against, although falling short of, true sims like ACC and iRacing. GT on the other hand falls well short of the others considering it's always claimed to be a real driving sim. The very fact most sim channels continue to mention Forza when looking at or comparing 'sims' is an indication that it has in fact surpassed its proposition as a 'racing game' at least in the context of driving dynamics and realism. Gt on the other hand falls short of its claim yet excels a 'racing game'. I'm lucky enough to be able to play all these titles and there's something great about each of them the others lack so personally I don't think there is a 'best' but just great options for whatever is important to each person.
10:55 "If you love the graffiti ..." => it's not about if I love it or not, I want the track to be like in real life. If there is no graffiti on a particular spot, then I don't want one added.
@@andreasmoller9798 I noticed the other day how the dark areas such as the footwells in shadow still get realistically darker going under bridges & such, that's ignoring realistic eye adaptation. PD's lighting even as a crossGen title truly is a marvel!
In terms of colour realism, hands down forza wins, iracing comes close and ties with gt7, and sadly acc seems to saturated. But in terms of graphics, iracing and gt7 are on par yet again, forza I'm on the fence, at times is almost perfect (for a game) but seems then sometimes looks weird but I can point out what it is. Where as acc hands down wins this section, it just looks great. Overall though, I really can't say which I truly prefer. But if I really could only use one for the rest of my life, it would possibly be acc. This has now solidified my compulsive thoughts to complete my acc dlcs
@@peter91d compared to a camera recording nothing comes close to GT7. However what your real eyes see, in my own opinion too forza motorsport comes closer in right conditions. Sometimes also very bad depending on the conditions.
ACC must be better than iRacing. It where a shame if it wasn't. Its a much newer scan and version. Hopefully, they rescan the NOS in iracing soon. Or they update the details. Good comparison. Thanks!
To be honest, the detail comparasion against iRacing is bad considering how old the track was when it was scanned, If you wanna actually pay attention to detail, just check the dimensions of the paviment and compare how accurate iRacing is compare to the others including ACC. IRacing track's dimension is incredible, the elevation and distance seems very authentic compared to other tracks
GT7 looks the worst with oversaturated colors. Forza looks pretty good, ACC probably best of all and has the best feeling FFB for communicating the road. iRacing looks like a good all rounder despite the ancient render engine. Amazing how carried away some people got with the Graphiti on the track lol.
Did you even watch the video ? ACC, GT7 are decent. Iracing and Forza need lot of work. Though Iracing kerbs are super relastic. Forza need to reedo all the kerbs pretty much, trees look greyish and the surronding also does not represent real life. Iracing too decided to do their own surronding for some reason.
Forza looks very good. Funny how people keep saying how bad Forza version is just to find out all the inconsistencies in other titles as well. From the start already biased towards Forza. Biased conlusion, even the game is paused Forza is at speed making it blurry. Camera angles could be deceiving a well.
@@GinolasVideos sure. The point is there are inconsistencies in other titles as well. Why did the other titles not get nitpick before Forza version arrived, clearly there is bias. Funny how people act surprised with the comparisons, thinking that Forza is the only game that has issues.
People make fun about fm8 but actually has better ffb than acc and i have 350 hours on acc and 150 hours on fm8 , acc has better physics, graphics and sound , but forza has better ffb i feel way more connected to the car , better cars , a lot of amazing cars , better tracks , le mans , road america. Virginia , I'm playing on xbox series x , I've heard pc version of acc has different ffb to me honest
It is clear that the ACC is the winner. GT7 lacked detail on the outside of track, FM8 did well outside, but there's something very wrong with these kerbs and iRacing I've never played. P.S: ACC has an obligation to be the best, as it has the fewest cars and tracks, not to mention that much of the game's content is paid DLC.
its Obvious by the end of 1st corner which one is best !!! I think that I racing so out of date on a lot of it tracks, and considering how much it cost OVER and OVER ! they need to either change their price model or release II Racing ;)
How recent is the real life vide The nordschliefe has had some work done over the winter with one or two new herbs and new tarmac in parts of the track.
Your conclusion was biased. You didn't even bother to properly sync the clips. Esp. at the end. You ONLY sync'd ACC at the end to your exit footage, as if to reinforce the placebo interpretation it would naturally cause by being mistimed. Perhaps it was an unintended over sight. The editors slip-tool to adjust clips in video (sync in) montages is easily ACCessible before final compression. Perhaps You'd consider a proper re-upload with better sync'd clips, over your already fine commentary, to help support your claims. Unfortunately, i could not conclude ACC was better due to this. Other than that, nice footage!
this track is laser scann in multiple sim racing game, Iracing, AMS2, Rfactor 2, with great sansation .... multiple years ago ... i don't understand why every one is crazy about ACC. it's just an other great laser scan version on this track ... and if you say "yes but some real pilote try the track to optimise it", yes but there is not comparaison on real track and game track on the official nurburgring youtube channel ... Rfactor 2 yes.
For me personally it's acc by a country mile, then gt7, followed very closely by iracing, and finally forza. The downside with acc for me is that it's paid dlc, whereas gt7 and forza it's included in the base game and that accessibility makes it better for more players, but cost aside there's no doubt acc got it nearly perfect, and the fact they can charge for it means they had to put in much more effort to make it worth the asking price Forza tries to make the course feel more exciting and festival-like, but the green hell is exciting enough on its own and doesn't need more pizazz. Imo forza should have put more effort into making it mirror the real course more accurately instead of masking its deficiencies with unnecessary trackside fluff
Wel it is a no brainer for me - l I only have the ACC game, so the Nord track in ACC is the best for me, period. Why should I even watch the video if I don't have the other games. I don't do IRacing, Forza, or Gran Turismo games because of either cost, subscriptions, or don't have any console systems. I don't have the ACC Nord track yet, but waiting for a sale price on STEAM when it becomes available. Enjoy all the other ACC tracks and cars. I have watched allot of You Tube videos of races with the ACC Nord track and looks great. Take care.

AMS2 is missing… 😢
so is the original AC which was the first game to get a laser-scanned version of the Green Hell
AMS2, yes, but Rfactor 2 too.

ACC Nordschleife is the most accurate virtual track up to date. There's no doubt about it... Because it is the latest version of the IRL Nordschleife. They did scans with all of the latest implementations on IRL track that have been done in 2023.
GT7 is probably very accurate but to the very old now version of IRL track that was a decade ago if not more.
We need to see when Polyphony is determined to update Nurburgring to its latest version. I'm sure they polished up nurburgring with each version of the game in terms of lighting, visuals, track physics, textures etc but still keeping that original scan layout.
GT 7 has the 2017 version :)
Hey. Next time before you do this kind of comparision make sure to set proper FOV in each game. ACC on this vid has much lower FOV then real life footage and other games so everything is looking too big and too close, also distance between guardrails and track is looking bigger because of that.
I've never experienced ACC I racing and forza versions yet but GT7 you definitely feel the the hills while in the in car view
you need to try ACC
I'm waiting for console's to bring it don't have PC I'll have to wait for PlayStation
Forza has the most realistic lighting by far, it actually looks like real life. Iracing looks stale in comparison and ACC looks over saturated and gamey.
I prefer ACC and Forza for realistic lighting and over all look. I think they are the most recent scans as well. GT loses out in nearly all critics. You are biased against Forza as always.
How can I biased against Forza when it's clearly the best racing simulator
May I ask, which simracing game has the best teaching part? 'Cause I play GT7, but those license tests and demo runs are far from teaching. :)
Keep an eye on something I am launching imminently on my site www.simracenews.com 🙃
gt7 is already the best to start. if you play acc first you will be lost 😂 You should read the description before you drive, I think it's quite informative. If you want to start ACC, I highly recommend the TLDR playlist from the TH-cam Channel Aris.Drives. It covers the topics from the very basics the the advanced driving and tuning techniques, and explains the physics behind them. And they're also easy to follow!😁
@terrylu4894 as someone who does acc mostly, I couldn't agree more... gt7 and forza are where you get your feet wet, acc and iracing are both straight out sims and will most likely frustrate beginners. That said, all of them do have the option to put down an 'ideal line' to help if you need it, just the 2 simcade titles have much more forgiving driving physics models. I'd only recommend acc and iracing to those with experience, and iracing only to those with a very fat wallet.
@@rogerdiz3520 my real cars never frustrate me!🤔😂
Forgot to add... and this is ACC specific, you'll really only get the most out of ACC by joining groups on discord, who have a rule set you can live with as the single player experience is limited as is the AI, and the multi-player open lobbies can have some really bad driving standards.
Anyone remembers this track in Project Gotham Racing 2? Super long ago...
GOAT racing game. I lost so many hours on that game.. and they had geometry wars as a mini game…
Man, Xbox live was incredible back then 👍🏾👍🏾
ACC knocked it out of the park. From a drivability standpoint ACC and iRacing are nearly identical. It’ll be interesting to see the next Nordschleife update on iRacing. Hopefully by the time we see it the graphics engine will have been update to something more modern.
Instead of FMS and GT you could have compared it with rf2 and am2, but ok, good job anyway
Where is rfactor2?
Considering Turn 10 has never claimed Forza to be a sim, it stacks up well against, although falling short of, true sims like ACC and iRacing. GT on the other hand falls well short of the others considering it's always claimed to be a real driving sim. The very fact most sim channels continue to mention Forza when looking at or comparing 'sims' is an indication that it has in fact surpassed its proposition as a 'racing game' at least in the context of driving dynamics and realism. Gt on the other hand falls short of its claim yet excels a 'racing game'. I'm lucky enough to be able to play all these titles and there's something great about each of them the others lack so personally I don't think there is a 'best' but just great options for whatever is important to each person.
10:55 "If you love the graffiti ..." => it's not about if I love it or not, I want the track to be like in real life. If there is no graffiti on a particular spot, then I don't want one added.
I can play the track in GT7 in VR on ky console without needing a gaming PC, that makes it an auto win for me
What about auto mobilista 2?
Looks like the Forza version isn't so bad after all
...Did we watch the same video?
forza has the most realistic lighting.
@@Johnny_Thunderit dosent, gt7 has superior lighting
@@andreasmoller9798 I noticed the other day how the dark areas such as the footwells in shadow still get realistically darker going under bridges & such, that's ignoring realistic eye adaptation. PD's lighting even as a crossGen title truly is a marvel!
Yeah looked pretty good
In terms of colour realism,
hands down forza wins, iracing comes close and ties with gt7, and sadly acc seems to saturated.
But in terms of graphics, iracing and gt7 are on par yet again, forza I'm on the fence, at times is almost perfect (for a game) but seems then sometimes looks weird but I can point out what it is. Where as acc hands down wins this section, it just looks great.
Overall though, I really can't say which I truly prefer. But if I really could only use one for the rest of my life, it would possibly be acc.
This has now solidified my compulsive thoughts to complete my acc dlcs
desaturated and washed out does not = realism
Forza colours are way off, looks nothing like the real footage. ACC and gt7 look the most accurate
We all have different eyes guy, this is what mine see
@@peter91d compared to a camera recording nothing comes close to GT7. However what your real eyes see, in my own opinion too forza motorsport comes closer in right conditions. Sometimes also very bad depending on the conditions.
@@Racingfan101No. Just no. GT does not look the best, at all.
ACC must be better than iRacing. It where a shame if it wasn't. Its a much newer scan and version.
Hopefully, they rescan the NOS in iracing soon. Or they update the details.
Good comparison. Thanks!
To be honest, the detail comparasion against iRacing is bad considering how old the track was when it was scanned, If you wanna actually pay attention to detail, just check the dimensions of the paviment and compare how accurate iRacing is compare to the others including ACC. IRacing track's dimension is incredible, the elevation and distance seems very authentic compared to other tracks
GT7 looks the worst with oversaturated colors. Forza looks pretty good, ACC probably best of all and has the best feeling FFB for communicating the road. iRacing looks like a good all rounder despite the ancient render engine. Amazing how carried away some people got with the Graphiti on the track lol.
Are you blind?
Did you even watch the video ? ACC, GT7 are decent. Iracing and Forza need lot of work. Though Iracing kerbs are super relastic. Forza need to reedo all the kerbs pretty much, trees look greyish and the surronding also does not represent real life. Iracing too decided to do their own surronding for some reason.
just buyed nordschleife in ACC.
And after 2 Laps I already know its the best dlc I‘ve spend my money on. Simply Amazing
GT7 definitely had the trees most accurate.
I have to say , Kunos simulazioni did a very good job!
Forza looks very good. Funny how people keep saying how bad Forza version is just to find out all the inconsistencies in other titles as well. From the start already biased towards Forza. Biased conlusion, even the game is paused Forza is at speed making it blurry. Camera angles could be deceiving a well.
The curbs are just wrong in Forza, having driven all of them, and done a lot of laps in real life I can confirm Forza is way of the mark.
@@GinolasVideos sure. The point is there are inconsistencies in other titles as well. Why did the other titles not get nitpick before Forza version arrived, clearly there is bias. Funny how people act surprised with the comparisons, thinking that Forza is the only game that has issues.
It's funny to see fanatics badmouthing game X or Y, when they're all brutally wrong.
People make fun about fm8 but actually has better ffb than acc and i have 350 hours on acc and 150 hours on fm8 , acc has better physics, graphics and sound , but forza has better ffb i feel way more connected to the car , better cars , a lot of amazing cars , better tracks , le mans , road america. Virginia , I'm playing on xbox series x , I've heard pc version of acc has different ffb to me honest
ACC is the closet to real life.
It is clear that the ACC is the winner. GT7 lacked detail on the outside of track, FM8 did well outside, but there's something very wrong with these kerbs and iRacing I've never played.
P.S: ACC has an obligation to be the best, as it has the fewest cars and tracks, not to mention that much of the game's content is paid DLC.
Good comparison! 👍
Thanks bro!
its Obvious by the end of 1st corner which one is best !!! I think that I racing so out of date on a lot of it tracks, and considering how much it cost OVER and OVER ! they need to either change their price model or release II Racing ;)
How recent is the real life vide
The nordschliefe has had some work done over the winter with one or two new herbs and new tarmac in parts of the track.
1 month later Verstappen's 24h is on iRacing ...
rFactor 2 is where I drive the NS, because of the feel and physics. good review but far from complete.
iRacing is the bar a far as I'm concerned. VR ftw.
I have all steam racing games with Nordschleife present. It's 14 games.
Without iRacing since I play on my Steam Deck only
Your conclusion was biased. You didn't even bother to properly sync the clips. Esp. at the end. You ONLY sync'd ACC at the end to your exit footage, as if to reinforce the placebo interpretation it would naturally cause by being mistimed. Perhaps it was an unintended over sight.
The editors slip-tool to adjust clips in video (sync in) montages is easily ACCessible before final compression. Perhaps You'd consider a proper re-upload with better sync'd clips, over your already fine commentary, to help support your claims. Unfortunately, i could not conclude ACC was better due to this. Other than that, nice footage!
Iracing has somethings missing: it's fine
GT7 has somethings missing :simcade lol
Funny how some people jump to conclusions like that
ams2 and rf2 missing, latter is the best I have experienced
pretty unfair comparison when ACC is literally brand new and iRacing scan is years years old.
NordschleifE! E! E! There is an E at the end of NordschleifE!
this track is laser scann in multiple sim racing game, Iracing, AMS2, Rfactor 2, with great sansation .... multiple years ago ... i don't understand why every one is crazy about ACC. it's just an other great laser scan version on this track ...
and if you say "yes but some real pilote try the track to optimise it", yes but there is not comparaison on real track and game track on the official nurburgring youtube channel ... Rfactor 2 yes.
i like how FM7 use vegetation like bushes ecc, looks pretty good.
Great post good shit. I love sim racing and prefer iracing all day.
Ok so they all have parts where there good and bad, Looks is one thing the real test which more arcuate to drive vrs real life.
For me personally it's acc by a country mile, then gt7, followed very closely by iracing, and finally forza.
The downside with acc for me is that it's paid dlc, whereas gt7 and forza it's included in the base game and that accessibility makes it better for more players, but cost aside there's no doubt acc got it nearly perfect, and the fact they can charge for it means they had to put in much more effort to make it worth the asking price
Forza tries to make the course feel more exciting and festival-like, but the green hell is exciting enough on its own and doesn't need more pizazz. Imo forza should have put more effort into making it mirror the real course more accurately instead of masking its deficiencies with unnecessary trackside fluff
Kireth le fanboy aveuglé par le mensonge de FM8 🤣🤣
I can’t wait for Iracing nascar
can we just have blackened kerbs
As an xbox owner and regular ring driver... got to say ACC looks the best 😂 typical we can't have it
Is Nordshleife coming to ps5 in ACC.
Wel it is a no brainer for me - l I only have the ACC game, so the Nord track in ACC is the best for me, period. Why should I even watch the video if I don't have the other games.
I don't do IRacing, Forza, or Gran Turismo games because of either cost, subscriptions, or don't have any console systems.
I don't have the ACC Nord track yet, but waiting for a sale price on STEAM when it becomes available. Enjoy all the other ACC tracks and cars. I have watched allot of You Tube videos of races with the ACC Nord track and looks great.
Take care.
it's a bit of a joke comparing scans that are probably 10+ years appart from each other.
A lot of the track's ben repaved the past years as well
ACC but where is my PS5DLC?
this games are about driving, not graphics
rF2 version was one of the strongest in sim racing - best to benchmark that
