Hello, great review.. Where can I buy one of these in the UK? Thanks.
@SimRacingJason3 күн бұрын
I have just checked and this shifter is not on eBay any more just the H pattern version. After a bit more searching i could now only find it Ali Express or Bang Good. They do both ship to the UK but as i have never used them i can't vouch for them i'm afraid. If it was me i would set up an alert on eBay in case more turn up for sale. Let me know if you do manage to get one mate.

@SimRacingJason10 күн бұрын
So far been very impressed with the rigidity of the whole setup and the Sim Lab 80/40 rig has enough strength and weight to hold the mount steady. As for the VESA mount well it’s just a cheap one from Amazon - TV Wall Mount, Ultra Slim Fixed... www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0833PJ269?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share - but it’s not brilliant when it comes to making slight adjustments so I will be replacing it soon.

@RomanFusaty19 күн бұрын
I really wanted this title to be a success, but its far from it. Too far. Firstly, they don't do anything different than other sims, nothing which would attract more people. Secondly, UE5 is definitely not something positive in here. I have 4090 and at full details I can see all the flaws of this engine. The ugly ghosts behind the cars, shadows popping up along the way, trees changing in front of your eyes, fences are super ugly... Kunos learned their lesson for ACE. Unreal is not for racing. Period. Then the sounds, I can digest worst physics when the sounds are good, but here, all the sounds look like a temporary placeholders, unfinished, like they are waiting for better samples. Some cars are better, some worse. I don't like especially external sounds, they are simply all bad. They are using fMod engine (like AC and ACC) so it shouldn't be so hard to do decent sounds. Damn even most AC mods sound better than Rennsport... Physics is mixed bag, some cars are ok, some not, but you can definitely feel the rfactor 2 physics in here, but like alpha version of it, not some sort of advanced version. Especially TCR cars, which I was obviously comparing to my AC TCRs. Models are top, no discussion about that (except the dashboard fonts), but the handling... I didn't like it. There is like 20-30 degrees of nothing in the middle in the steering wheel, then there is some kind of input lag for the front axle, very heavy force feedback which suddenly turns off on the throttle... I really expected something better... I usually support devs by purchasing all the DLCs and early access stuff, but here, I won't invest in the founders pack, not for now, not in this very early beta state. But I will give them chance later for sure.
@SimRacingJason19 күн бұрын
@@RomanFusaty the unreal engine really does seem unsuited to sim racing and you can see the same flaws in each title that uses it and I see that the new title by Ian Bell has moved away from using it because if that very fact. I do hope they can make it less jarring as it does feel rather unoptimized at the moment. I have also held off buying a founders pack until I see something that really grabs me and makes me sit up and pay attention.

The more sims the better! I think all of us should support and give new sims a good chance any time they release or bring out a big update. I personally just can’t get on with AMS2, I’ve bought all the dlc because I want to support them to make it better. If V1.6 is the moment I click with that sim then I’ll be super happy to have another sim I can enjoy. Too many tribalistic sim racers out there, when really we should support all new sims, if not financially then at the very least not bashing it on forums!

I won't lie. Rennsport surprised me.. I've been on it only since Sunday. Just today, I got my graphics looking amazing and healthy FPS with, as of now, no studderings. I dialed the FFB and messed with the clipping adjustments, which helped on that BMW Hyper car in Daytona. I'll be honest.. The game is free, and it runs well if your hardware is at least good, the physics makes sense and the FFB reports to you ASAP. I've noticed a lot of youtubers I normally watch, Just talk smack, and two of them lie about the handling. I've had the beta key in my email close to two months as today's date and I will honestly say, I didn't bother playing because I listened to them -_- I decided to give it a try on Sunday with my cousin, and I was impressed. After today's session with cleaning up my graphics and dialing my FFB for my CSLDD .. yea, I'm blown away. Tomorrow, I tackle the VR side using virtual desktop.
