Ferrari 458 @ Vallelunga 1.46.7 on both tires. On semislicks I can do several laps, but the streets heats up after one lap. TC3

I'm right behind you Dee, (as usual) 1.55.748 :)
Thats one twisty bleedin' circuit and it will take me a long time to learn.


Deetz

Well I ended up with a 1:48.676 not brill, but I pretty much hate the 458 as it currently is, so I didn't do much running.

I'll try installing the app Vobler recommends in his other thread.

Some default settings, well Pro realism, Hotlap Mode, 8:00 am 26 Deg are my defaults and open to better offers.

:D

I have to admit to having this in my Steam library. :blush:

Looking forward to trying some multiplayer, especially if we get to run a dedi server.

From the notice:
"We have also made investments to set several free public servers for our users and a proper lobby for servers created by, users, leagues, simracing websites and so on."

Neys

You may guess what I've done today :woot2:

(after struggling for ages with my more-than-a-year-unused win7 Installation) I finally got AC working! Minimal settings, though, but it is playable.

Messed around with the default Lotus today and finally did some hotlapping with a BMW M3, both on Imola. Awesome game I have to say! Hard to play but somehow I expected that :)

Looking forward to first multiplayer combo!

Excellent, great to hear you've jumped aboard Neys :)

How did you get on with Steam?  I used to hate third party apps like that.....and still do to some extent.  But Steam is the only one I accept ( can't be bothered with EA's Origin for example).  Valve has built  up a good enough reputation with me over many years, I am happy to have all my games through Steam.

Yeah, that was a good read :). Steam causes me some headaches (beneath the one caused by my current toothache :crazy: :crying:). Normally I don't trust these data thefts - but, well, it's the only Option as it seems, and I still don't like that. At least they are somewhat supporting Linux which is a pro in my view. In the mid term I might be able to switch to linux/wine again.

There are various aids traction/stability/racing line.
Although i have to be honest its not the most user friendly regarding setting up and instuctions (no readme lol  they assume you can guess or like looking at there forums a lot)

Set up is not the issue more of my racing skills or lack of and hoping not to be the koybashi of dmr

Don't worry about that at all mate, we are all learning the new cars/tracks/physics of this game.  And even if we weren't there is no such thing as too slow, the fact that you are worried about your skill is enough to know you will be fine! :D

We'd love to have more racers on! :racing:



Ps, I should prob mention  that we arnt playing this multiplayer that much atm, just on monday for now.  The whole Multiplayer system is a bit of a mess.  I'm still having lots of fun playing off-line though and trying new mods tracks etc.  I'd say it's worth it, as long as your aware of the limitations.  It looks, sounds and handles great, just all the other stuff needs some work....like an Italian car perhaps....  :doh: :roflmao:
