Le Mans Ultimate had a new update so we have to take a look once more. However, there is still a disconnect between driver and car in some situations - but only in some cars. Here's why I think that is.

Simracing is difficult. Learning how to drive fast takes time, dedication and persistence. Assetto Corsa Competizione is one of the best simulations with highly sensitive aerodynamics that want to be respected. Telemetry, such as motec helps with analyzing car behavior and finding major issues in the car setup or driving style. Special sim racing hardware also helps with becoming better, but certainly is not _the_ solution to your problems. Load cell pedals offer better feel. Stronger but most importantly more detailed force feedback of e.g. direct drive wheels offer more immersive sensations. Though I know and I've seen throughout the years, people with entry level hardware perform on top level.

I feel that combined grip under braking is too low (at least compared to AC for example, haven’t driven any LMDh cars unfortunately xD) So where in other sims you can turn with 50% of your straight line braking, in rF2 you can only keep 10-20%. A slight steering angle under braking and your fronts become a vibrator for the rest of the race

I have referenced this issue many times on discord…braking is terrible, overly sensitive, but more importantly no feel, so it’s a guessing game. You lock up as you have no FFB or audio queue’s. Just zero feel at low speed. It’s hugely unrealistic and the most frustrating part of the game. Slow speed feel and braking. My tyres take a pounding and I have no idea I’m locking, as I have no feel. To me, it’s feels like I’m not, but my tyre indicator would suggest something else

Agree with your comments 100%. I race with abs off in Le Mans Ultimate and the brake feel is completely absent. Braking on the limit is a guessing game now. I don't believe it has to do with a different feel to other games, there is simply no feeling or feedback of any kind whatsoever.

I agree with your 20 degrees of vague steering at the limit and the vague braking at the limit. I'm always lost at hairpins, not knowing how much to steer and I'm always watching the tire widget when braking. lol. If they get precision in the FFB and sounds in these areas, LMU could be the best game of all. The FFB feels so good! Kind of similar to RF2, but with all the "noise" taken out (and I'm not a fan of RF2's FFB). The sliding might be unrealistically too much, but it is one of the fun aspects of this sim. If these aspects weren't vague, I'd be almost exclusively playing LMU.

Bloody hell im so happy to have a person with credibility be publicly saying stuff i have been saying is important in sims for 15+ years. People can ignore me easily becuse im an idoit and focus on being stupid and over the top. But its hard to ignore a talented e-sports driver with lots of real world experience and more serious presentation 👍. I don't know why so many SIM racers don't seem to understand how much real cars communicate to the driver instantly , and how this is largely possible through current SIM equipment. ☕☕

Hi, well, Daniel Morad, BMW factory drivers,... said positive things about the game, while Daniel Morad even said there is too much feedback. LMU developers are top esports drivers too, one of them being Brabham esports teammember, former WRT teammember, and one of the fastest guys on the planet. He has the ability to work with real drivers and teams. Also Ferrari esports drivers are development drivers. Who am I to say they are wrong? Feedback has already been published in the LMU discord. Yuri & Alen (teammember of Nils) are very happy to be able to work with CDA & LMU to provide default setups. This video is just no coincidence as Nils has for 15 years a trackrecord about complaining against s397 (in the past in rf2 discord too) But, hey, everybody is allowed to publish their opinion and hope a game can become the same as the game they love ...

​​​​​​@@jeroengoudeseune7209 I'm really not following your comment , RF2 and LMU have super aggressive FFB for suspension compression , curbs / track noise , which is largely ffb that's not of use to actually drive from but it's effects / FFB that often make less experienced people think of games as having great ffb and the first thing people tend to notice in ffb. At a guess I'd imagine morad probably finds this noise aspect of the ffb and how aggressive flat spots are for example is "over the top" , he can't find the slip feel over the top as it's not there 😆 some how even iracing represents that variation of grip better and that's with iracings insane tire model. RF2 and LMU are both lacking in variation of sustained forces and low frequency FFB that specifically represents where the car is in the tires slip or the rotation of the car. As for who is anyone to comment , well if a person makes a valid point and has a good reason for what they are saying both logically or evidentially, it doesn't matter who they are. But unfortunately majority of simracers basically form there views from an argument from authority rather than by actually thinking about things for themselves or agreeing and disagreeing with specific points made. They will litrally just spam x real driver said this is good or bad , often even ignoring the entire context and actual point the real driver is even making. I. This video Nils made good points with good solid reasons behind them along with a solid argument for the subjective aspects / reasons for what he thinks is arguably a better or worse way to do things or of more or less value for a SIM. As for his "history" I don't care again if a person is making a point with good reasons behind the point that's all that matters. Separate to all of that I'm not really sure what your reply is specifically trying to argue , counter argue or agree with. Personally I quite like how LMU drives , Though generally I'm an AMS1 / AC1 fanboy.

@@jeroengoudeseune7209 for every driver who says one sim is great and another isn't you'll find one who says the opposite. Alexander Wurz said that F1 World Grand Prix on the N64 was the best racing sim ever ... and who are we to argue with an F1 driver, right? That was dumb at the time and aged even worse. I enjoy Morad's content, but I don't agree with everything, same as I don't agree with everything Rosberg states in his YT channel. It helps when you think for yourself. Every opinion you quote can be found for Iracing, AMS2, ACC, etc - they all work with top esports drivers, they are all experienced devs, they all have motorsport history, they all have pro drivers saying they're the best ... But at least they make an argument founded on experience, experimenting and perception/dfata. Same as Nils does. You can agree with that more or less. You on the other hand repeat what others say like a parrot and simply choose to quote the ones who say what you liked to hear. And then mix that with some conspiracy theory. Sounds like either you have a vested interest or you suffer from fanboy syndrome. Try thinking for yourself, then argue with what you conclude. And then one can actually engage in a conversation. But maybe that's not what you came here for in the first place ?

its really good in certain things. and we have to give credit to the fact that irl ffb (as in information through the steering wheel) is basically oversteer only and hardly anything else. just that in the sim that isn't useful for us. its a conceptual question imo

If a real driver, Dennis Lind, comes to Nils' chat to say that lock ups aren't felt at all, only the aftermath, I would say that the FFB is fine, even more than that. Should we have some audio queues, probably, although they don't exist (aren't heard) in real life either. Adding artificial forces isn't a solution to a problem that doesn't exist in real life.
@SimracingPopometer
@SimracingPopometer Ай бұрын
thats not something i saw him write? :D either way: the question is about how we can get around whats missing when going from irl to sim. we don't have forces acting on our body, which takes away 90% of the feedback and essentially we are driving a sim based on VERY different sensory assessment than irl, so why limit ourselves to only what we can carry over from irl? it makes the sim harder to drive than an irl car. Also think about people with low end hardware. without additional cues, they are really completely blind. I couldn't imagine driving any sim just with a G29 these days. Let alone if they take away audio feedback for example. None of this would change what the correct input for the car is, or how realistic the maths underneath are, it only changes how you get your information about what is a correct and what is a wrong input.

@@SimracingPopometer The FFB only outputting steering forces is not a satisfactory solution because it omits the important g-forces that people actually drive off. I realise these cars irl probably don't have strong feedback on brake lockups (hence the wheelslip lights in the cockpit), but as a game they probably should come up with some kind of compromise between harsh reality and driveability as a video game.

Regardless of the sim in question, I fully agree about the need of vital information in FFB and other cues. I'm satisfied if I know what the car is doing without too much fuss and struggle, FFB detail is a nice extra. Whether it's like the real steering feel in any given car doesn't even enter my head, because it's fundamentally incompatible with the need to include that vital information. Apart from some nuance of course that makes it consistent within the sim going from one type of car and steering geometry to another.

@@mesfigas Don't worry. It's quite tricky in the beginning. Coming from iRacing I had the trailbraking muscle memory imprinted onto my brain and it took some time to somehow override it. Also remember that sometimes you just want to coast. On iRacing you spend 100% of your time either braking or accelerating. On ACC and LMU it's different, since sometimes coasting is the answer.

People say that GT7 has a bad FFB, but I think it's excellent because it gives exactly the information I want. It informs the car's grip through the force of the steering wheel, heavier steering wheel = more grip, Light steering wheel = less grip, it's simple and efficient, acc has a lot of noise, every undulation on the track is amplified in the ffb, but what really matters isn't there, grip.

I really don't understand how rF2/LMU has this aura of top sim even though very few people use it. That must be the reason. People on the web talk and give opinions most of the time about things they don't know. It's an average sim with all other sims, it has its strengths and also huge weaknesses just like all other sims. And its weaknesses, which are exactly what you have illustrated in this video, led me to abandon it completely.

One of the issues is that most people come from GT3 or series using ABS. When trying no ABS for the first time it is not a good experience. After a few races in RF2 I have started to understand how to get the feeling. Can rf2 and LMU improve in this regard? No doubt, but there is a big amount of tweaking with pedals and software to fine tune breaks with no ABS. We need to put some time on it before saying it is crap. I am not criticizing the video, very informative.

Everybody is keep on saying that shit about "other games have ABS and this one doesn't". Nils pointed out arguments, and I completely agree with him. The point is, there is no feedback from the tires what so ever, especially at the time of braking, which is obviously the most crucial part of all.
