    I think the match making has definitely improved. I noticed it more after update 4. I used to hate qualifying well, as that meant I'd probably be getting smacked off on the first corner. Still got a long way to go, but it's good to see someone talking about the positives. Good luck with the channel!

      Yeah they have addressed most of the issues in update 5. They’re looking into penalties and taking live data to adjust the system which is great. The ai needs a full rework though but they’re going to fix it to bud.

    That little chicane at Maple Valley can be taken using a bit of grass on each side without issues. You just need to stay as far left as you can through the previous left hander and turn in early to line it up. When you get it right you can gain a huge advantage.
    I wish people would read up on racing etiquette and what you should and shouldn't do. Aggressive defending like that (at Laguna Seca) is something you shouldn't do. Move once and deal with it. He caused that by trying to block at every chance he got.

    I had some great racing last night, which made up for the morning. 4 to 5 car battles race long, they just need to make sure they're not slow fixing the game..

    • @Flashms
      @Flashms  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yeah, I have to say, I am not happy with the performance of the game. I am not running it on a potato, and struggle to get a decent /consistent frame rate. Yes I can lower the graphics settings but that defeats the point lol. This game like all the previous and even the horizon series runs really well, this on the other hand.....
      I do think they are going to fix the issues, I do not think it would be abandoned, rather let the dust settle, see where everything is at and fix accordingly. Its easy for us all to shout and call the shots, but sometimes taking a step back, seeing a bigger picture is better.
      First port of call though, fix performance issues. saying this needs to be on a SSD or NVME drive is daft. It should run fine of a HDD, its not exactly graphically an improvement on the previous games, or has it got anything new that's blowing it out of the water. its just poorly optimised thus needing faster hardware to fix the crap coding lol
      Second Fix replays.
      Glad to hear you found some great racing, of course a lot is hit and miss. Not every race is going to be amazing, need to see the crap to appreciate the good lol.

      @ETRTriad ahahahaha well this is it. Because new console are now on nvme. They in reality don’t really see the need. It’s more laziness than anything. Why optimise when the drive can deliver faster speeds. Same with other games. Plenty of modders out there who optimised the code of games and cut loading times by half or double the performance. Just lazy development or lack of funding.

    What controller/wheel setup are you using?
    15:55 you said “two step braking”. What’s that?

    • @Flashms
      @Flashms  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I am using a g920 Logitech wheel.
      It may be incorrect term I am using calling it a 2 step braking but I brake hard at the 300 marker. Let off of a second then apply the brake again hard to try and keep the car stable and under control. I find braking later I miss the corner and if I hold the brake down at the 3 marker I am too early and the car is unstable at the crest of the hill. Thus not cornering as expected or desired.

    • @TurbsUK

  • @TurbsUK
    @TurbsUK ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Quick question for you, can't remember if you mentioned this in your video showing your settings for your G920, but what do you have the rotation set at in GHUB? I can't make up my mind if 540 degrees operating angle or 360 degrees is better. Sometimes I feel that at 360 degrees that its a bit too sensitive, but on 540 sometimes the centre marking on the wheel can decide to be slightly offset and thats offputting.

    • @Flashms
      @Flashms  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I still have it set to 900 bud. I find the Logitech centre dead zone to be a little to large so when you make little adjustments either nothing happens or it’s too much. To be fair at 900 the most I turn the wheel in touring cars is around 90 degrees even on the tight corners.
      So the Logitech g hub has not been touched. All the settings are done in the game settings but rotation has not been touched just feedback.

    • @TurbsUK
      @TurbsUK ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Cheers. I am trying it at 720 at the moment, but might give 900 a go. I think I changed to 360 when I was playing a bit of the F1 game because I just couldn't get the bloody car around the hairpin at Monaco and I had just left it that way.@@Flashms

    • @Flashms
      @Flashms  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@TurbsUK yeah I get lowering it for F1. It needs it lol. But try it at 900 for touring cars and the most rotation I ever used is just over 90. You get a better feel and can finesse it a little more at 900. Let me know how it goes though bud.

    • @TurbsUK
      @TurbsUK ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I tried 900, but I think 720 might be the sweet spot for me. I did feel that there's more subtlety with the higher settings when it comes to making slight movements but I think, for me, at 900 there's a little bit too much rotation needed for very tight corners. I do realise though, that playing with only 360 degrees was almost like it was making me wrestle the car around corners rather than feather the brake and accelerator pedal to get the rotation if you know what I mean?

The game was re built so future development, updates etc are seem less rather than game breaking. I mean don’t get me wrong I do not mind waiting for new things. I kinda like the idea. Saves exhausting the game within a few weeks. Yes they could have given us more to begin with. It was very empty at the beginning. It is getting better. Could add a few more tracks. I think another 3/5 would be a good spot and after that monthly releases. I don’t know bud. I’m so on the fence lol I like it and don’t at the same time. So I can see both sides. Again maybe add a little more now and then dribble the rest. It is barren but with feedback, them listening and fixing it, I think it will turn out great. Providing they do keep listening lol

On the other hand I can get on board with the drip feed method to keep people engaged. Maybe not so obvious but I understand it. I do think we still need more as of now. It does get repetitive fast where if we had more it wouldn’t. There is a balance for both. It’s just finding that balance.
      I agree there needs to be a drag strip that would be so cool. I totally understand why hand out drag tires etc when it’s not used. But this is where the drip method fails. Because you gave us 50 percent. Why give something we cannot use. Simple things like that should have been day one. Drip feed new tracks etc later.
