Very curious to try GT3s in LMU😎 Good to have your input mate! Also totally agree with ACC having nailed that "weight" of the car. I dont have that in iracing and lmu that much, and in iracing I just dont feel connected with the road at all. Good game iracing but just not there in my feeling :)
Has it always felt that way jardier? With iracing and lmu? I've alwyas felt iracing is better then people make out tbh. Well not with details but with suspension feel and tires. But yeah idk maybe settings? Who knows but I do agree none feel like acc with the connection to the car. Tbh I'm shook whenever I hear anybody say acc ffb is bad. It blows my mind and makes no sense to me.
@@reviewforthetube6485 Yes iracing feels very good in many points, but the weight and tyres (as James mentioned) is just not there in the feeling. Im not hating on it its just fact when you drive these cars. No matter what ACC really nailed "weight" of the cars in the game (but some stuff is of course shit broken like suspension) :D
Thanks! Yeah naw i can see exactly what you are saying. I do belivee acc has it nailed more wirh feeling of being attatched. Luckily james said they seem to have gottwn these new gt3 cars pretty right. So nice to see lmu taking those steps to feel connected. @Jardier
Your takes on sim physics etc are always fair and objective, it's quite a breath of fresh air in sim land ;) No favoritism, just facts. Pretty much all the modern sims are good, but in different ways and they all have their limitations.
Knowing from my insanely small experience with the devs at LMU i have absolutely no doubt they will take it on board even to the point the released to public version will have some of the tweaks already in place.
I think the actual onboard sound, like many in LMU, is spot on, there’s just not enough throatiness or base to them like you describe. Listen to the Toyota and the Cadillac for example. What’s there is pretty spot on, they just sound weak and a bit too digital.
hearing you praise the feels of the car you drive in real life makes me excited to test all the cars out. Particularly the Corvette and Aston Evo which I've been wanting in ACC for forever.
2024 6 Hours of Spa LMGT3 Hyperpole - 2:20.755 (Sarah Bovy, Lamborghini Huracán GT3 Evo2) 2024 24 Hours of Spa Super Pole - 2:15.275 (Franck Perera, same car interestingly enough) let's not forget the Balance of Performance differs between both GTWC and WEC, the fact they run Pirelli and Goodyear tires respectively and driver lineups, LMGT3 is a pro-am category (1 bronze, 1 silver and 1 gold/platinum driver) in which the bronze driver must qualify while in GTWC there are various classes (Pro, Gold, Silver, Bronze and only for Spa 24, Pro/Am)
It's interesting you mention braking pressure values, because the load cell in most sim-level pedals will also be reporting values (calibrated to some unit MPa, Bar, PSI, etc) which is then transformed to the floating point ranged value between 0.0 - 1.0. So for many pedal sets it's already possible to have a more accurate model of braking pressure but currently the main barriers are a lack of pedal driver support for handling pressure based brake values and then the sims themselves expecting to deal with the current values that the pedal drivers handle.
This is SIM Racing cars are being developed to be as close to real life as possible, this includes the sound, Surely! Please make the sound as real to life LMU that's surely a must!!
I get what your saying about the cars feeling light. The new Aston martin on rennsport is just like that it's hard to post a quick time When you Can't feel the car underneath you. Also congrats on racing in jeddah man what a track. You'll have fun there
I'd be interested in a GT3 comparison between RaceRoom GT3's and LMU GT3's. I feel like a lot of your observations about sound, feel over curbs, etc...those are strengths of RaceRoom.
Let me add, as a point of curiosity, going around most tracks in a real GT3, is the steering wheel jerking and twitching all over the place? I could see it a place like Sebring, but LMU FFB just feels .... Wild. The FFB in sims like RaceRoom, iRacing and ACC feels like it's focused more on tire load than jerking all over the place on every surface irregularity. I hate adding dampening and filtering to quiet things down, but I feel like I have to dampen the crap out of my DD wheel on LMU. You tell me? How crazy is wheel feedback on a real McLaren 720 GT3?
I knew they were way slower when I watched the Spa WEC race earlier this year but when I saw how much slower I was like "I do faster times than that on my gamepad in ACC lmao" without realizing how much different the WEC version of the GT3s were at that point.
@@Jaaames After a lot of grinding I've managed to get to 102% LFM laptimes in hot lap mode which is basically all I play because it's pretty much all I have time for most of the time. And that's just on a handful of tracks I've practiced on like Spa, Barcelona, and Silverstone. It's generally frowned upon since the tire temps and pressures always reset every lap but it's perfect for someone who only plays in short bursts like me.
Nice driving. Haven’t played this game yet but that might change soon. I’m glad you’re involved with the devs and I’m looking forward to your video on the pedals.
Moza wheel base can use driver road sense or ffb effect qualizer settings, lower FFB 30hz between 60hz some. In game FFB smooth set to 0. After that car over curb feels weak now, not lost much other weak force feelings.
8:00 Am I right when I say that you can reach more than 100 bar bcuz you can always squeeze harder, so when you press harder on the pedal the brakes will just squeeze on the disc harder?
Love your videos and enjoyed watching this as well. However, I took the #59 for a spin yesterday and my goodness was it bad. Maybe there's something you can do with settings or setups and maybe my 8NM wheelbase limits the feeling a bit, but to me there was just zero feel in the FFB until you went past 240kmh or so. In the middle of the corner you can turn your wheel all over the place and it doesn't really impact the line as the car just floats around on its line. The feeling I got was the definition of a floaty sim. Linked to that lack of feel, the car also never seems to have any bite to the road. Maybe when you go below 50kmh, there is some but in actual driving scenario you never feel the tires biting like you do on ACC. On top of that you are spot on with the feeling of weight between the two sims. There is also absolutely zero tire noise when you are one the limit and the only time you hear it is when you've already lost it. I don't know how it is in real racing, but in sims the tire noise is an input that is used to compensate for the lack of physical feel when you are sitting in an actual moving vehicle so while it may be unrealistic to some extent, it absolutely provides you a crucial feedback that makes the driving feel more realistic. The ABS feedback is nice, while a bit weird being so strong on the wheel. Similar to the tire noise I can live with this lack of realism for the sake of providing input that you wouldn't otherwise have. All in all the McLaren at least feels simply awful for me, which is a huge disappointment as the LMDh cars felt ok. Even they are rather numb on low speeds, but maybe due to their faster average speeds you feel more on them throughout the lap. As a result, I'm unexpectedly not going to get the GT3 pack or drive them in any manner until there is a huge update on the tire model / physics.
Sim hardware has come so far, sims need to catch up. There are some good approximations, but I hope we see improvements to take advantage of motion platforms, active pedals, belt tensioners, haptics, etc.
The FFB in LMU has some weak spots. The FFB is over active in telling you the suspension but it doesn't really convey tire grip at the limit that well, especially at slow speeds. This is where i think the idea of being realistic needs to be managed with the fact that we are in a sim with only FFB and no seat of the pants. rF2 suffered from some of the same FFB issues.
They made a few tweaks that I recommended before I made this video. A lot of suggestions I make in this video are quite substantial changes, so I think it will take some time to implement them.
Makes absolutely no sense the FIA making LMGT3 slow af. I attended the Interlagos round and I knew something was different with those cars when I heard the Porsche, its sounded like absolute dog💩 😂😂 all the cars sounded a bit muted to their IMSA counterparts tbh, now I know why
You should absolutely check out the Simucube Active pedals which do exactly what you’re talking about and will replicate that pushback from the ABS under braking
Regarding you feel about the weight of the car. From my experienc rF2 and LMU are both pretty sensetive to fuel load and how it affects FFB. Considering that we have only a limited amount of FFB signal generated by the forces on the steering rack - also the reason why curbs feel very severe in pMotor titles - it's pretty obvious why making the car feel heavier with a light vehicle isn't as straight forward if you want to avoid clipping once the tank is full. ;)
8:35 In terms of the feeling of weight, I think Rennsport does a pretty good job too. 9:00 never noticed that curb grabbing effect until today.. cost me 2 DNFs
it's pretty difficult to get the sound 100% right. You always have to make compromises somewhere. The simulation of the ABS in rF2 was really good. A really great video. I'm looking forward to the GT3 in LMU
I’ve NEVER understood how these companies can’t nail the sound. Like we have a billion on board videos of every car. How do they even have an alpha/beta sound version and go “yeah that sounds about right” Or “Yeah that sounds terrible, but let’s hope sim racers, of all gamers, don’t notice this sounds NOTHING like the real car”
@ I don’t remember the last time I requested the game to come out let alone come out at a decent time. Asseto Corsa mod teams (like VRC, RSS, and others that are smaller etc… ) can NAIL the sound. It boggles me tbh. It’s a sim. Not a half ass half done game.
@ oh I completely understand how sound implementation works. I’m just saying how they aren’t even remotely close when most modding teams do a much better job.
From what I understand it seems to be a bit more complex than that. You need high quality audio to put into a sim, so onboard videos on TH-cam aren't enough.
The reason i bouth the season pass was the announcment for gt3 cars coming later, i just wish they added alot more multiplayer racing, like rolling group lobbies with 20-30 min races, for me its not to much online content to play with at the moment so im still waiting for the game to get more content, like gt3 cars! glad they still keep pushing content for the game!
@@Jaaames А почему они должны быть тяжелыми? Они облегченные, с мощным двигателем, жесткой подвеской и большими цепкими колесами. Они и должны ощущаться легкими.

No name corner is not no name because it actually has a name, Speaker's Corner, which is 'officially' renamed Jacky Ickx in 2018. Stavelot 2 is just Stavelot as the corner before is Campus.
Amazing James I have always thought that the McLaren 720 Evo and other GT3/4 doesn’t sound like the real thing. But I must admit I’ve never driven one before but that would definitely be an experience. How do you get into doing motorsport? As a beginner just starting small racing and getting on track in track days? To hopefully get signed up?
How much does sound help in understanding the car? Like in some sims you have loud brake sound, don't know if its realistic but is really helps with the feeling of braking in a sim.
Thanks for video James. Any chance you could give that car a try in RaceRoom as well? That sim is also seeing resurgence and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I was loving playing this game but unfortunately I own a thrustmaster t150, and there is a bug with theustmaster wheels that just turns FFB off after every session. Only way I can turn it back on is to restart my pc, yes I've tried ffb reset button and no restarting the game doesn't work, also it turns ffb for all games so that's why I have to restart pc. Hope they fix this bug so I can enjoy the game.
Your IRL in-car sound is very gutteral. Genuine question, is that something a user could set up in-game? Like, up the bass & mids and drop the treble? Or does it need to come from the game? Plus, when you're sat in the actual car and rev it up, you're feeling the vibrations all the way from your toes to your nose (that was so twee) Does that affect how you hear the sound of the engine? Thanks.
Honestly I'm no audio expert so I'm not sure. All I'd say is the onboard camera footage of me driving the McLaren is very accurate audio wise, it does genuinely sound like that.
the sound of the car is ok to me cuz if they make it realistic as ur onboard it will just f**k ur ears after 5 minutes and its a sim game so u will give hours and hours to it , sound is good
@@Jaaamesit might feel as brutal, but your videos have an extremely distorted sound. Only the videos from the onboard system on the car itself have decent audio.
@Jaaames Thanks. Is that because you don't have the adrenaline flowing to the degree you would at the track? Some say about 15nm is needed but that sounds way too high
Thx! Maybe you are not using full range of lmu's ffb... I thought that the best way was to search for the maximum ffb signal and avoid clipping... maybe im wrong.
James I use a hydraulic brake. I have it set up with very little travel so change is based on pedal pressure not travel and make it so it is almost impossible for me to hit 100%. Is that how you would set your brake up?
Not sure if James gave the GT3 mods from RSS in Assetto Corsa a go, but to me they are way better than any other GT3 I tried. Compared to iRacing, Automobilista and ACC, they sound spot on and drive remarkably well.
Can you please do a video where you compare LMU gt3s to ACC gt3s and is there big online races on LMU like the virtual 24h nürburgring and spa on ACC Can LMU gt3s driving translate to real world driving like acc can or am I better buying acc
Regarding the car weight feeling: I think Raceroom currently does that best. And since they now have a McLaren 720S GT3 Evo (in the DTM 2024 class), I would be really interested in your thoughts on that implementation. I hope you can do a video on that.

I feel connected to the road in LMU, but the cars feel too light. In ACC it's almost the other way around.
@@Jaaames А почему они должны быть тяжелыми? Они облегченные, с мощным двигателем, жесткой подвеской и большими цепкими колесами. Они и должны ощущаться легкими.
Thank you for explain why GT3 in Lmu are a little bit slowly than in Acc and Ams2. I see my time and i think that maybe i'm too slow but now i know that it's normal👍👍👍
Amazing video i’m happy to something about this new cars
Nice one james
Inspired with yah bro🍾
❤
Congrats on Jeddah btw. And great video
🤝
Hi, thx. Excellent video !!!! Very complete
Cheers!
Looks and sounds very promising! Thanks for showcasting the McLaren!
🤝
glad u got the access as u should
Awesome James. Sounds like we are in for a treat 😎
I think so
happy to see Im not alone without the shadows, they are too much distracting for me
Yeah & they cost me some FPS too, hence why I got rid
Nice
Also Very Happy to see u race in Jeddah eswell next Week
🤝
That info on the ABS is interesting, wonder how it works...
No name corner is not no name because it actually has a name, Speaker's Corner, which is 'officially' renamed Jacky Ickx in 2018.
Stavelot 2 is just Stavelot as the corner before is Campus.
Maybe the car contact to the road will get better in iracing when the new tire physics update arrives
Excited for these
Amazing James I have always thought that the McLaren 720 Evo and other GT3/4 doesn’t sound like the real thing. But I must admit I’ve never driven one before but that would definitely be an experience. How do you get into doing motorsport? As a beginner just starting small racing and getting on track in track days? To hopefully get signed up?
It's a long story mate, I should probably do a video explaining how I got into the position I'm in. Will have a think about that!
Try the raceroom version pls, the evo came with DTM 2024 pack and atm all cars are free from 21st november to 6th december
Wow nice that it's McLaren. Everyone speculated it would be M4 and Corvette.
James favorite phrase to say “to be honest”.
To be honest, you might be right
Thanks for the video and feedback! What's your take on the overall GT3 physics of ACC?
How much does sound help in understanding the car? Like in some sims you have loud brake sound, don't know if its realistic but is really helps with the feeling of braking in a sim.
No better person to test the GT3 cars than a sim racer and IRL racer of the GT3 cars especially Maclaren.
Thanks for the feedback. It is always good to hear from real pilot. Cheers, Dam, real pilot also but flying bus in my case 😅
🤝
You should try the Simucube Active Pedal👌
i hope u can share some tips how sim racer can become a professional racer.Become a professional driver is my dream☺
Thanks for video James. Any chance you could give that car a try in RaceRoom as well? That sim is also seeing resurgence and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
I was loving playing this game but unfortunately I own a thrustmaster t150, and there is a bug with theustmaster wheels that just turns FFB off after every session. Only way I can turn it back on is to restart my pc, yes I've tried ffb reset button and no restarting the game doesn't work, also it turns ffb for all games so that's why I have to restart pc. Hope they fix this bug so I can enjoy the game.
Ah damn, that sucks. Fingers crossed a fix comes out for that soon.
Any plans to partake in the 24H nurburgring any time soon? love the content, been on a bit of a binge recently
No plans, would be bloody awesome tho to do that race
so your telling me when u hit the brake as hard you can surpass the hard to harder???
Will explain in the video I make on this topic
@ tysm
They need a proper co op / multiplayer with friends vs ai!
Looking forward to theese 😀
iRacing actually changed the internal audio like a week after you mentioned it. Have you heard it?
Yep, didn't change too much IMO
Your IRL in-car sound is very gutteral. Genuine question, is that something a user could set up in-game? Like, up the bass & mids and drop the treble? Or does it need to come from the game? Plus, when you're sat in the actual car and rev it up, you're feeling the vibrations all the way from your toes to your nose (that was so twee) Does that affect how you hear the sound of the engine? Thanks.
Honestly I'm no audio expert so I'm not sure. All I'd say is the onboard camera footage of me driving the McLaren is very accurate audio wise, it does genuinely sound like that.
the sound of the car is ok to me cuz if they make it realistic as ur onboard it will just f**k ur ears after 5 minutes and its a sim game so u will give hours and hours to it , sound is good
exactly it’s distorted on his gopro
@@Civer505 it's not a gopro & the audio is pretty accurate. It does sound like that in actual car.
@@Jaaamesit might feel as brutal, but your videos have an extremely distorted sound. Only the videos from the onboard system on the car itself have decent audio.
they arrive on December 3 👾
Question: how many NM of torque do you set your FFB to, to replicate the weight you feel through your McLaren's steering IRL?
Only 8nm usually, to replicate the real thing I'd probably go more than that tho
@Jaaames Thanks. Is that because you don't have the adrenaline flowing to the degree you would at the track? Some say about 15nm is needed but that sounds way too high
so real cars feel like the Merc in every game over curbs?
Thx, great preview !
How do you setup your ffb? On the hud, you are using half of the force available. Is it normal?
Thx?
100% in Simucube, 25% in-game I believe.
Thx! Maybe you are not using full range of lmu's ffb...
I thought that the best way was to search for the maximum ffb signal and avoid clipping... maybe im wrong.
James I use a hydraulic brake. I have it set up with very little travel so change is based on pedal pressure not travel and make it so it is almost impossible for me to hit 100%. Is that how you would set your brake up?
Not exactly, the video I'll make will explain all.
@ thanks mate
Not sure if James gave the GT3 mods from RSS in Assetto Corsa a go, but to me they are way better than any other GT3 I tried. Compared to iRacing, Automobilista and ACC, they sound spot on and drive remarkably well.
Have tried some, maybe not the latest ones. I'll have a look
Can you please do a video where you compare LMU gt3s to ACC gt3s and is there big online races on LMU like the virtual 24h nürburgring and spa on ACC
Can LMU gt3s driving translate to real world driving like acc can or am I better buying acc
Thank you for this Video. :)
Welcome!
I feel like regarding sounds, obviously in real life the sound would be muffled a bit under your helmet, but few racing games simulate that
Could you complete the 720S GT3 tour by doing the new RaceRoom DTM version please? 😂
can you make a video comparing lmu, acc and iRacing to irl, and which is most realistic?
Maybe
Great vid mate! Will you post more LMU races soon? Or stream?
I'll look to get back to some LMU before the years out for sure
When is lemans ultimate coming to console?
Not sure
can you show ffb settings in next lmu video?
Also, it didn't throw a rod on the cold rev! Game not Sim XD
😂
Get decent VR headset, whole thing become much much more immersive, specially LMU does brilliant job at it.
I've got Meta Quest 3's now brooo
Regarding the car weight feeling: I think Raceroom currently does that best. And since they now have a McLaren 720S GT3 Evo (in the DTM 2024 class), I would be really interested in your thoughts on that implementation. I hope you can do a video on that.
Will give it a look, cheers!
What you got early access to the GT3's😢
Hell yeee
