<-- no Oculus Rift here mate so cant rly share any points on it sadly =( but do check on Steam in itself as ppl post a ton of guides on "how to" and the sorts, hopefully they managed any workaround until proper support/patching is done.
Glad u only had minor tweaks to make but idk what wheel u have mate, im on a DFGT and wile being a good starters wheel ,as i read so often, i really don't know on if what im lacking is hardware wise or anything else really, by comparison with any other wheel on a higher price range, so the fiddling with the settings and all the headaches were scratched to that point, "better wheel = less fiddling ?" in my one track logic, but got it to feel a lot better now using settings from the web only having to manage the overall force on a car by car basis until it feels proper, before when the AI pushed me off track ( also on 100% THEN ) the car would ram a wall and the feedback on the wheel was zero, not from the crash on the wall in itself ,but the side forces of the other car pushing me were zero O_o !! so had no way to counter it on a timely fashion as to minimize it... a lot of walls died that day..
Have since lowered the AI to 85% and usually up it to 90 at times, as wile testing ,and as i don't know the tracks myself, their lap times were closer to mine , i usually start a race from the 4th position if not lower, time difference ranges from 00.00.XX to a full 4 second margin when i start thinking im a setup maker and fiddle with the car's options =P, out of the box and at 50% was a facepalm session > at 100 i felt like a gazelle parading on a lions den and managed to know all the walls by name and even got a few phone numbers along th way xD , its the only way i found to get the AI not to drive like mad max road fury -_- !
Online i feel there is a lack of official servers, wile the amount of options and ease given in order to make one on the fly and just go for it are great, anything that cant be "passively" regulated is greatly missed as most ppl , i feel ( and read from their Steam comments ), drive it like its a new NFS, if u manage to get in a " bubble" were the fast drivers are ahead and the slower ones far behind u can expect a great drive till the end, other than that i have seen cars literally fly off the track on most T1's , and if u manage to get a pole mate , May God have pity on your soul, as everyone else behind you will not and most likely ram the crap out of your car into a wall and that's all she wrote... ppl reseting the car and parking it on the apex for "lol's"... the whole 9 yards as they say.. Airio is sorely missed =) , the other option is to spectate the race and not drive at all, do hope they will implement sth in the likes of Airio rly =(
Got lucky and managed to enter a proper server, the guy was streaming it and ended up kicking a ton of ppl ( high ping and the ones prone to road rage he said ) and locked it up afterwards, best 3 races done so far. Think thats the way to go at this point, gather some mates > join Ventrilo/TS > pick a track & car combo > LOCK the server and go for it , else its a BL1 t1 survivor thing or if u are lucky ppl will actually manage t1 and just try to crash you for 10 laps -_-...
<-- Was drooling at the car skins as well, and have an AA WIP skin for the Gineta G40 , as that's the single player cup im racing, great fun to be had i say , do hope we can get our time zones aligned and lap a few together =)
