I just came back yesterday from the FIA Rallycross 2024's final race here in Istanbul. The weather was rainy and windy especially during the qualifiers around noon. The amount of grip those cars had despite the dirty tyres and wet tarmac was insane. Came home wishing for more as I missed the Kristoffersson's drivers championship win on Saturday because I was sick. Fired up Dirt Rally 2.0 because my EA Premium ran out. And my god it would be an insane understatement calling the grip abysmal. IT IS NONEXISTENT on a sunny day on Tarmac.
Interesting opinion. Considering EA-WRC, to me it felt exacly like that you described playing DR2.0 (that was always okay to me just not on the level of AC for exampe): as if I drove on a mirror, no dynamics and communication whatsoever. It miraculously became improved around an update / patch last summer so it is sort of functional, alive and 50x more enjoyable but I still get more detailed FFB about what is happening between the wheel and the road in DR2.0. Maybe FFB detail doesn't work the same on different wheels, I don't know :)
Huh, that’s interesting. 😱 I’m using Fanatec CS DD and same settings for both games and there is very little to none road effects for me in DR2. I’d assume that the (wheel base) settings wouldn’t need to be changed (that much) between games. What wheel base do you have?
@@Finns_in_Simland I totally agree, default settings should work consistently regardless of the game. On the wheel I'm on the total budget side, been using a Thrustmaster T150 for ages. Started with an used T300 that was more detailed but overheating so I just got a T150 on sale and that's it. I have some nice DR2.0 club championship memories with it back in my active days, winning a couple of them. As it is a baseline wheel I guess it is pretty common so should be supported everywhere. However, the start of EA-WRC was sort of rough to me with lifeless FFB. Last summer a patch fixed it fortunately so now it's drastically better, I like it.
There is no feeling. Expacially at the rear end and ESPECIALLY during high speed cornering and direction changes. You just dont know whats going on with the car.
Well..I play on keyboard so no force feedback for me :D Stages for tarmac just feel....kinda boring to me. Like Germany for example. It's just straight, break, turn, straight and repeat.
@@Finns_in_Simland Not bad. I also play trackmania so it isn't that much of a problem for me. The only down side is that you can't control throtle, so it is kinda problematic for RWD cars.

😅 it would be great to have the opportunity to try out a real rally car to get some kind of understanding of what the grip levels really are!

I prefer tarmac in EA WRC however the overall experience in DR2.0 is much better imo.
Overall experience as in Dirt Rally as whole versus EA WRC? 🤔
For tarmac RBR is really the best by far
I really like spanish stages though
Yeah I prefer RBR as well

Yeah I agree.
On tarmac.. It's good for my experience.. I have a good time in this road, try use full degradation.. It's more interesting 👍🏻
As long as it’s good enough for you! 😊
@@Finns_in_Simland alright bro.. Enjoy and have fun! 👍🏻

How is DR2 with keyboard?

For us controller users it is probably fine whatever game we get I assume
It might be. I haven’t played any of these newer games with a controller. 😅
isn't bad . Just non- existent
😅
