The game is currently playable (with a few bugs). Check out the GitHub:https://github.com/Zizin13/ROLLER
>>28798824>How the fuck did they drive this shit back then holy fug...In to the spectators, mostly
>>28798877My understanding is that back in the day, Rally was scored based on how many spectators survived your run.
I'll be playing snowrunner. Good luck with gt3@spa scrubs.

>>28798885Does that count as a /ovg/ game?
>>28798885I've been trying to get into Snowrunner but I can't get over the idea of trudging back and forth over the same shit roads forever. Does anyone have an opinion on Roadcraft? I saw someone say that it includes more stuff like actually fixing up the roads you drive on.>>28798954It has autos, right?
Thread themehttps://youtu.be/XxQb9GfG-zY
lmgt3s are pigfat slopreal gt3s are betterill be racing at a good track like daytona in a good simulator such as iracing
just bought temu doyo pedals for like 50 buckshow bad have I fucked up?
Reminder that OVG Hillclimb will be happening this 15th of FebruaryPoint A to point B time attack style racing, open technical regulations with a playing field as level as humanly possible, we did this shit once back in 2022 and I'm bringing it backRound 1 by Feb 15, car submission deadline Feb 8Read this wiki for more infohttps://wiki.get-good.net/index.php?title=OVG_HillclimbSign up to this sheet if you haven't yethttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vlVjNh8r6o_KYUFHf7Hcp8ZaYS5lsEZwFvTeu_K_c1Q/edit?gid=1938456411#gid=1938456411

>>28799014I have burgerkingring fatigue
>>28798956You drive on the same roads but usually with a different setup/different load/different trailer which makes stuff vastly different. Although visually it gets boring and I don't fw the graphics. Roadcraft might be cool yeah, I'll try it after I'm bored of snowrunning.
>>28799033I just have trouble enjoying mud/snowrunner because the roads where I live are shit enough, I don't need to simulate them never improving in the game too.
>>28799022no such thing. probably because it reminds me most of street racing compared to all other tracks
>>28799034Do you drive a cool 4x4 or a truck irl?
>>28799037I occasionally drive a Jeep or an old pickup. I guess a lot of it comes down to "I can go get myself stuck in snow and mud right now" and it just sounds awful lmaoI do think I'd enjoy the game if I could put in the time to get upgrades and some different vehicles but the start is miserable to me.
i hate to say it but a miat might actually be the last kino car currently on sale.all those other pigfat monstrosities are horrible
>>28799014nobody cares about ur vrslop ai racing lil bro

>>28799095that’s none of your business
What's the best video games to meet horny thick femboys and milfs on
>>28799297iRacing but only above 6000 iRating which costs $200/mo.
>>28799247gt7 is huge in japanese social media
>>28799301Reee the gmilfs and thick traps would probably tease me for my Chinese pedals and g27 anyways Almost ended up with a intersex off here years back but it had a meltdown and got doxxeed a decade back
>>28799307Did it ever get a PC release? Might actually be fun on my quest 2 Whatever happened to the psvr2 pc box thing did it get HDR and adaptive sync and whatever the eye tracking is on windows or Linux?
>>28798885I got 5 mins into that game and returned it.
>>28799311>Did it ever get a PC release?no
>>28799344Meh nothing of value lost its all gonna get ported to ac and bng
rbr on gdq
>>28799402reb brown racing?
>>28799414https://youtu.be/VOqvW-uPcls
>>28799414WERE APPROACHING SPEEDS OF THREE
>>28799402Who is playing?
>>28799417they're gaining on us, drop the waxing compound!
For me, it's rFactor 3.
FH6 gameplay on the 22th
Modders are the heart of sim racing.
modders ruin everything with their garbage low quality junk. the only good mods are paid anyway. Here’s a GTAm.
>>28799301nobody at 6k ir that can maintain it has a life or real job
>>28799301>>28799730qrd on renting rating? why does it cost more the higher it gets
>>28799734hes trolling. but if you want to have a high IR and do A class sports cars which are gt3s you pretty have to buy all of them, but the monthly cost wont go up. you could also just drive lmp2s if poor but the participation is shit. lower class races arent worth doing if you care about your safety rating
>>28799726hold up, you're telling me you'd rather pay some neckbeard a commission (like a furry) for the exact same fucking shit you get for free? just because money exchanged hands doesn't mean the product will be any better, it doesn't cost money to make an AC or rfactor mod it just takes time. you paying money does not reduce the time it takes. you paying money is a symbolic gesture of faith and nothing more. NO mods should be paid unless the modder has to buy licensing (which they never do) or they can itemize their hourly rates like a business (again, never done). all game mods should be projects of the creator's own passion. i would even go as far to say there should be nobody without the skills and ability to make their own mods, thus eliminating the entire for-profit mod market.the big issue with for-profit modding (aside from it being hella gay) is that it now becomes necessary to gatekeep how mods were made to avoid losing profit or having some indian steal it and sell it himself. that means mods now need DRM. DRM that involves rootkits and kernel-level access. all put together by some random autist in his moms basement you have never met. if that doesn't give you the heebie jeebies you're probably braindead.
>>28799752like i could pay tunari 1 billion dollars right but would gent's micra get done any faster?fuck no in fact the MORE you pay the longer you will wait because the more drunk and stoned your modder will be.

>>28799779You can tell every horror story about the Nazis is true because the Germans later went on to invent such atrocities as "drive the nurburgering for 24 hours."
>>28799901one look in a bmw engine bay and you can see what the jews were on about

>>28799418a massive faggot, judging by his rig
>>28798986i'm intimidated by the rules section, as in i'm on tldnr stage
>>28800031You can literally just get on the mattermost and ask nicely for a car
Bros. Any recommendations for pc motorbike racing games?
>>28800141RIDE 5
>>28800062I tried the track in my trusted xbow and i kept crashing in every corner. my brain can only handle two sims at one time. lmu and acr is all that i'm capable of driving right now.
>>28800171>>28800171the track is literally edited to make sure drivers don't send themselves to the shitter pit all the time because the road is so empty there's nothing in the scenery to use as a reference for brake or turn in or wateverso are you joining or not
i will be doing the daytona 6 hours insteadthen the 24 hour next weekendfuck you faggots
>>28800230sorry, i'm just trash
>>28799726>if you can do that >then youve found a shortcut right over that gutter>and at maximum speed
>>28800244Don't forget to cut the bus stop.
>>28799752I think the proper way is to leave the payment open ended like a donation.The only mod ive bought is pure for $1. I see it as im paying a guy $1 to save me a whole day of playing with settings and scripts
>>28799968>in actual race>side by side>cant take the line I practiced 10,000 times>wreck
>>28800166Thanks king
>>28800405That's OK I only hotlap for the leaderboards.
>>28798965i remember leaving this on the tv in the background just for this song, might have been a ps1 demo disc
didn't think that was going to actually work lol
Hope you didn't waste 700 bucks on a meme wheel and its big ass base.
>>28800425For me its hotlapping touge battles vs my ghost on fujimi kaido in fm4. I did the same thing with the rewind . Racing games arent based around having fun anymore unfortunately.
>>28800825Hope you don't think your chinese madcatz controller #48575897874 is going to be revolutionary or something.
>>28800825I want one of these but I saw somewhere that they're targeting $150 which is pretty expensive for a Chinese meme controller. That's the price of a lightly-used G29.
>>28800854>The Swift Drive looks like a standard controller at first glance. However, the first impression changes when you notice a miniature steering wheel right in the center. While this might look like a quirky design choice, the technology powering it is surprisingly serious. The device houses what GameSir describes as the world’s smallest direct-drive motor. The tech allows the tiny wheel to provide actual force feedback, giving players a physical sense of resistance and road texture that a standard thumbstick simply cannot replicate.Buy it for your gf.
>>28800825It's gonna revolutionize racing games on a pad just like trigger steering on the DualSense did.
>>28800825Friendly reminder.
>>28799726big brain tyre management
>>28800825I will actually buy one of these if they release it in clear plastic, that's cool as fuck
>>28800968project cars is a fucking trash heap thoughbeit
>>28801045ams2 is such a huge piece of shit. I dont know how anyone can enjoy driving it. lmdhs feel like shitlmp2sgt3s feel like shitold fia gt1s feel like shitold lmp1/lmp2s feel like shitwhat car am I supposed to drive for this slop to feel decent?
>>28801115gt4s are genre leading in ams2
>>28801138gt4s are slow and boring
>>28801232literally faster than gt3s
>>28801234are you retarded, they're at least 7-10 seconds slower on average
>>28801235gt4s are plenty fast for your brown bus riding ass
>>28801240keep coping nigger ams2 is dogshit. a polished turd is still a turd. you cant fix ian bell's garbage
>>28801243it might not be as good as raceroom, but at least its better than iceRenting
>>28801247its not better than anything, even gt7 feels better to drive
>>28801249thats because gt7 is the real driving simulator
>>28801115fun fact: you don't
>>28801044is that so you can use it in prison? if not and if you didnt know clear electronics are made for prisoners
guys I think I’m getting tired of track racing. Why can’t we have Forza Horizon with proper simcade physics
the streets always wins
>>28801368[your mom joke here]
>>28801366 BeamNG?
Alright rich fag losers who's ready to get their ass kicked? No three screen displays and fully functional clutch pedal and shifter is gonna save you nerds.
>>28801407>madcatzmario andretti was falling on hard times back then
Golf GTi Mk2, my beloved...
>>28801534thats how they look when they are built from the ground up
>>28801324clear electronics were a 90s fad long before Tyrone got to play Angry Birds in prison
>>28801547picrel from what 1992? there was also a big fad in the late 80s with clear telephones and other home appliances.
>>28801232>>28801240gt5 is worse
>>28799752>some random autist in his moms basement you have never metI definitely met his mommultiple times
>>28801547na , made for prison but sold to the public also to make producing them worth it.you just think it was a cool trend and dont get me wrong it was cool.
>>28801407>rc controllerHow many times do I have to say sim racing is just digital remote control cars
>>28801379beam is too heavy. great game/sim. requires a new pc to run well with traffic on
>>28801682ps1 didn't have any sims though. gran turismo back then basically had the same physics as a need for speed game that would release on ps2
>>28801705Do you think I or you even knew what physics were playing andretti racing on ps1 at 10 years old? It didnt matter. Games were to have fun and thats been lost or is on its way out
Are these effected only by reported car to car contact? I've seen trusted drivers that kept ramming people off track. Also, I'm usually simply cutting corners when needed, and it's not effecting my badges at all, only safety rating.
Chihaya playing Gran Turismohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wiw0FxoB-HsCurrently using the data logger to improve lap times.
>>28801748Yes they are specifically for contact.
>>28801760Including bump drafting, which is extremely retarded.
>>28801749she should play irenting instead. plenty of japs on there
Everybody talks about Forza Motorsport 4 but how were 2 and 3?
Why are PXN wheels so cheap?
>>28801914slave labor
>>28801914They're trying to undercut moza and make a place for themselves in the spotlight of very budget DD.
>>288018932 is basically an upscaled FM1 (basically same models) but running at 720p with MSAA and some missing minor features. Short on tracks so more repetition.3 was the beginning of the end when they started casualizing the series and made it "prettier" to have a more broad appeal. Graphics got bit of a glow up, has interior view now. IIRC this was the first game to implement one button driving which they bragged about on stage at E3.4 was an incremental update from 3, they just threw everything at it like more cars more tracks, Fujjimi Kaido returns, career structure can be opened up completely non-linear so you do whatever you want, has Top Gear license. Graphics got another glow up with new image based lighting. Most people typically consider this to be the "best" game, except those who hate the casualizing of the series may prefer 1 or 2 instead.Personally I see very little reason someone would play 3 out of all of them, compared to Gran Turismo where every game has its own flavor to justify playing.
Reminder the final BYOTC round starts in about 45 minutes - from next week LMU GT3 is on the menu
Why fucking LMU though?
If you don't like it, host your own series
>>28802065based
>>288018932 was aight, it had fujimi kaido. 3 sucked because it didnt have fujimi kaido.4 was good because it had fujimi kaido,topgear,fun challenges,rivals mode where you could set a lap time and your friends could race your ghost.it also had a leaderboard so you could race the fastest peoples ghosts too. It was more fun 1 upping your friends lap time and then when you sign back on you see that he set an even better time. xbox 360 was peak gaming in terms of price for performance and graphics havent really even gotten any better since then with 600+watt gpus and cpus
>>28802065I just want to complain. Not host a series
>>28801954BYOTC has ended with Gent taking the title (by end of race 1 today that was locked in)Head on over to OVGLMGT3 in LMU from next week
>>28800968now filter everyone playing in third person.
>>28802049Why not? It's better than AC by miles.>Inb4 IT COSTS MONEY WAAAAHIt's like 20 euro on a keysite it's not a excuse skip a McDonald's meal fat negro
>>28802198>It's like 20 euro
>>28802214Greenluma
>>28802223Also those dlc tracks are the last like 2 races I think
I'm good. I'm not spending on what will be collecting dust after the window's finished.
You don't race with us anyway
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcpUZsFV_LQ
>>28802244Not that I was particularly thrilled on the idea
>>28802233If the game was provided to you for free you still wouldn't sign up
>>28802244nobody does nowadays
>>28802267I already have it. Schedules are going back to their usual self so signing up for anything is not a guarantee for me.>https://archive.4plebs.org/o/thread/28775610/#28779161
>>28801379by Forza horizon I mean an actual compete game, not a DIY junkyard that can’t even match 10% of FH even with all of the best mods installed at once
>by Forza horizon I mean an actual compete game, not a DIY junkyard that can’t even match 10% of FH even with all of the best mods installed at once

>>28802144Anon, only 1 and 4 had Fujimi Kaido out of that list
>>28802609it returned in 3 huh. forgive me for not remembering 25 years ago perfectly. the point was that fujimi was a key part of the series,

bunch of liberals in this thread who can't stand iRacing because it reminds them too much of real life (they are gay and retarded there too)
>>28802874this fax, on SJ
The sole reason I don’t play Renting is because I can’t navigate the menus using my t300.
lmu would have better gt3s than iracing if it we didnt have to drive gay shitty lmgt3s that are pigfat with a shit aero packagebut here we are
irenting blogpost:daytona 6 hour was going well until dumbfuck euroshits in prototypes assassinated us. would have been an easy top 3 or even a win
daytona and turnleft in general is so fucking retarded. takes 0 skill and makes me fall asleep after 3 laps
>>28802647But my favorite youtuber said it has great handling and car roster. It just lacks a proper single player a multiplayer mode.
>>28802791am i the only one around here who doesn't bump that wall on the exit?
>>28801679Nintendo was not making anything for the US prison system, those sorts of things came much later. Apple in fact famously used clear casings for prototype machines which is actually how the iMac's transparent colored chassis came to be. Clear electronics are just cool and were were never "intended" for prisons it is just a convenient happenstance that is a use case. Youtubers are not valid sources of information and people who parrot tubeslop opinions are thrice as dumb.

I would like some input from threadposters on what it would take to get you to join /ovg/ series. Please don't reply if you already participate regularily.If the game was provided to you in a prepackaged manner with everything required to join (ie AMS1 lite, rf1/rf2 lite with car/track included) would you participate in a series?What's currently holding you back from joining the previous AC series? Are the current weekend timeslots (20-21 GMT) bad for you?What cars/tracks would you like to race? Thank you for your attention to this matter!
>>28803175>>28803165>nobody careswrongwe'll just have to repeat the race
>>28803025armed and dangerous
>>28803028you need to go into your doccuments and make backups, I accidentally burned the house down and died in the fire and I lost like an irl days worth of effort.
>>28802949>he doesnt know about the road course or The World Center of Racing™hello newfriend
>>28803000>he doesnt knowyou are literally parroting slop.start looking into whos invested into what and you might find that clear electronics were planned for prisons from the start.b b bbut they looked cool so Nintendo never intended ,that isnt a valid reason just your opinion which is incorrect
Do I buy a cheap DD wheel+base now or do we know they are releasing new entry-level hardware this year?
>>28803288depends if ur a consoletard or pcgod
>>28803293PC. But I'm a cheap cunt who don't buy new things until they are broken.
>>28803297if you only play new games get a simagic or moza, but if you care about retro shit like rf1 then go fanatec/turdmaster/logitech
>>28803300Then it's a Moza.
Thanks to whoever suggested to grease the chinky USB handbrake in the other thread. Really improved the smoothness of it for me.
>>28803195The total lack of responses is funny
>>28803195this post is like 4 years late its over bro
>>28803341The fact it's even necessary speaks volumes about how dead /ovg/ is
There are only 3 regular posters in this thread that don't participate and aren't in mumble/mattermost
>>28803195For me I guess it's the lackluster feel of AC nowadays compared to other sims that we've raced with in the past (Ams/rF2)Also it would have to be during a time horizon or season that is doable for most, like in the summer, just after Winter or something else
>>28803195>Please don't reply if you already participate regularilydefine regular participation
さすがアールアールスリー
>>28803395r3 you race in everything what the fuck do you think dumbass
>>28803195trannycorders did everything in their power to dissuade shitters from joining races for years and now you're surprised this place is dead
>>28803195I'm too new to racing and the general, and I doubt there would be any fun to be had if I joined for anyone involved.You guys seem to have a pretty tight group already. There's also a lot of negativity in the thread and I'm not sure if it's genuine or not and I don't want to find out or be personally subjected to it.
>>28803402Not true. The decline was slow and steady and natural. When /ovg/ was at its greatest in participation everyone was around late high school early uni in age and now we're about 25-25 and people have real lives to deal with and naturally find other stuff to do on Saturday nights. Especially as covid ended and people could do thing in real loife instead of playing video games. New people came along steadily just not enough to replace the numbers that left. You can literally read this in the series archives, it's really no magic here.Worth noting that there's currently 58 members on the mattermost and we were 8-10 people in BYOTC, and likewise for most recent series. There's plenty of people that just don't race but hang out anyway.>>28803411There is absolutely no skill floor to be racing in the races, it's just get out there and see what happens. You'll build skill much faster with people you know and can chat with than with randos online, and also it's funny if there's people on track that aren't top skill. The broader a spectrum of skill the less intimidating it'll be too. The thread has been extremely negative for years but it's barely ever about the racing in the series. If you're thinking about posts from recent races with the orange MR2/Celica guy it's because he is literally autistic and does not understand feedback so it just seems very hostile but it really isn't. I should also say as I've hosted a great number of recent races and series and deliberately not done what anyone wanted to do but simply done shit you or I can't go and do in iRacing any evening of the week, the series have not been as "attractive" for newcomers. Making your own touring car isn't what everyone wants to do even if a guide is provided, and likewise for the coming series making a hill climb car from scratch is hard, much harder than the AC modding veterans ITT think it is for new players and will naturally have a very low participation number.
>>28803398actually i dont race in rf2, lmu, iR, beamNG, anything newso we can argue about that
>>28803423>>28803411And just to expand on the last point: We saw the decline in participation numbers even when we raced the things people "wanted to" (eg. the game that is 'in' at the moment or standard race car slop like only GT3s every weekend), so as a host it makes FAR more sense to just host what you like to race. That's why Gent hosts races in old cars with low grip and forces you not to choose what car to race for instance. Meanwhile I like racing anything and everything so I don't care and put up tons of different shit just to not do what you can already do on iRacing whether it works or not we'll then find out. Like the Mille Miglia or Le Mans Classic or bringing your own touring car.
>>28803402The only people that cry about "trannycords, shadow governments" etc are concern trolls who have never participated in a series, but likes to shit up the thread with manufactured drama.
the day /ovg/ died was the day when the first irenting series was announced, this place worked best when you could race on a core 2 duo laptop with a temu ps2 controller, all that's left is the 10 turbo autists making lego ac mods pushing 35
>>28803444>when you could race on a core 2 duo laptop with a temu ps2 controllerToastertard broke nigger it's not our fault you couldn't afford a rig or anything above a 30-series GPU in the modern day
>>28803444MX-5 Cup in iRacing was held because:>AC was total dogshit to race in. CSP had not saved it>ACC we tried and it sucked ass>rF2 we were all sick and bored to death off>We had done every existing rFactor and its derivatives including mods that would make for a serious series to death>Write your own joke for RaceRoomand most criticically>every single person that ACTUALLY raced and ACTUALLY showed up had iRacing and was using it anyway
>>28803448I'm not talking about myself retard, the number one reason for the success of early ovg was the low barrier of entry
>>28803378I’m one of them. t. GT7 + AssEvo chad
>>28803463Sure but that was also because the average 4ch user and especially /o/ user was a teenager or very young adult as outlined in >>28803423 and that is not the case anymore. There's a reason other threads for that age group like the /osg/ sticker thread died and it's not because they stopped selling cheap stickers. Most people age 25-35 doesn't have the time or the want to race virtual cars with a group of basket weaving racists on prime time saturdays, they wanna wroom during the week on iRacing or LMU now and then have the weekend free to spend with their family. /ovg/s decline was totally natural. rFactor and LFS were also not as old as balls ancient in 2013 as they are now. I still like to play them but let's not pretend they should be the standard for "old and versatile simracing game anyone can use" anymore. That's AC. It's actually older now than rF and LFS were in the early /ovg/ days.
>>28803195No GT7 no participation
>>28803464based ignorance is bliss AssEvo enjoyer
>>28803195For everyone to be less cringe, salty, and supremecist about their particular Sim autism of choice. I joined the mumble and there's dozens of channels each with some ancient inside joke Le epic shock value gay ass meme, the posters itt apparently all hate one another and games, and people spend more time obsessing about whatever shit happened years ago and schizostalking than doing anything interesting or fun.Clearer presentation of event calendar and requirements. The OP references a beam/automation event which is exactly the sort of thing I'm interested in, but there is no actual information about it in the OP or in any of the links that I can see.I like racing slower cars desu - not gigaminmaxed maximum edge racecars. Even in Forza I don't really like abytjing about A-class.
>>28803448And attitudes like this are why it's dying.
>>28803510>The OP references a beam/automation event which is exactly the sort of thing I'm interested in, but there is no actual information about it in the OP or in any of the links that I can see.It is both on the wiki and the doc. Maybe try actually reading them.
>>28803510how can you be this retarded yet somehow make it past the captcha
>>28803510The Google sheet has always been in every thread OP to explain these things to you and we have indeed been racing mostly slow things for 2 years. What are you complaining about exactly?I agree the mumble is outdated as fuck and looks like ass though, even though mumble works fine for the job it does it's basically touching on unapproachable if you aren't already part of the group.
>>28803510The mumble for 95% of /ovg/ is there for whenever there's a race. It's pointless to join outside because Yea it's the same 3 people on it that is probably afk anyway. The mattermost is better if you want to engage outside the thread. And no you don't have to give your actual email when signing up
I just like to shitpost here and laugh at poorfags who cant afford a good setup and iracing. racing with /ovg/ is the worst mistake you could do. I did it once 10 years ago in rfactor 1 and knew it wasn't for me
>>28803641>buying the best golf clubs in existence to play putt puttlmao
>>28803510this is just 4chinz in 2026, only the bottom of the barrel is still here (including me)
>>28803195i want to race tunaris micra when do we race that?
i just like to shitpost here but im a poorfag who cant afford a good setup or iracing and i dont bother with online simracing at all because its too much commitment, i also dont play arcade racers much anymore either because they get boring quickly
