Just wanted to point out to anyone who may be concerned that this is completely false. You can race on any track with any car in the game right from the start (excluding maybe a few unlockable reward vehicles). No progression through career mode is necessary.

zargon488: I guess I’LL be in the minority, and say I Like Shift!!
ok, its got its quirks, but its still FUN!, after you
get your wheel settings dialed-in to where it feels right
for you [and that will be different for every driver!!]
and I have found with a little tweaking, the overstear can be
compensated-for [for me anyways!].I also enjoy RaceOn, rFactor, GTR-2, F1 2002, NASCAR 2002, TOCA-3, RBR!,
and EA-Superbike 2002, and RallySport Challenge!
Each is FUN! in its own-way!Thats my 2cents!Happy Racing to All!!

oops,,sorry,,
Forgot to add GRID!!

I don’t like the arcade feeling in this game, altought I would love to have these graphics in LFS.(Though GRiD had better graphics, expect interior.)

And damage modelling is just a joke, I doesn’t have any effect from situation, always few same crash models come around.

What was it that was in their PR Spiel?? Now I remember ,,,A Game made for Race Drivers by Race Drivers,,,please give me strength.
It’s more like a Game made for Babies by Idiots who don’t have a clue.

The Veyrons run fine for me as well.. However I had a major issue with the Carrera GT bouncing.. And before you continue on with your “it must be a cpu proble” Like I said, this is a PS3, 360 and PC problem. I won with the Carrera GT race as well but i still bounced all over the place i just had to restart several times.

And why do you lie…yes people are hacking the 360 and PS3 version and PC version?

Go read the forums..

Oh wait that’s right, your too busy pretending this game doesnt have any bugs, oh and comparatively from the specs you posted here at VLR – Its not a CPU issue on my end or the media centers end, or my brothers end, it may be an intermittent problem but it is a problem and it IS physics related.

And the files cant be packed yet, and i’ve not seen any such video.. so provide me with prove otherwise your just making shit up.

We can unpack files but we cannot pack them yet and the game will not run with loose files at the moment, at least i’ve spent time digging around the physics engine to see they are still using 7 year old equations for their suspensions.

Howie47:

Husky, I just ran the Bugatti invitational race just for you, to make sure I wasn’t a dimwit. I had already ran the Porsche invitational, that some one made a bouncing car video of. I won it in the first try. How could I have won? If my car was bouncing around like the video? I watched my Veron replay. I saw wheel bounce, but not chassey bounce. In fact I ran in the grass and over curbs several times at high speed. My car always respond physically realistically. So where did those bouncing videos come from. Maybe a rig with inadequate CPU power? Maybe a (hack)? Some one already posted a video of a hack that causes all the cars to bounce. So you can continue to practice idiocy. Or you can join the clear headed reality crowd. But in the end the truth will bear me out as being honest and true.

A few patches to correct the plenty of minor issues the game has would be appreciated though.

BTW Howie47 you’re playing with wheel? aids off? Do you have the balance tunned all the way to oversteer?
Driving a beast like that one with no aids must be insane

Husky42: Howie47 yes.. this is so real… lol your a dimwit, you cant just say it, you cannot agree that shift is a good game but not a sim.
Your tire hop comments are laughable.. just watch this video.. yea sooooo real..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAcVFH3p-VU&feature=player_embedded#t=62
Tire hop? Real? You even referred to tire modeling when it really is a suspension issue… but as this video show.. The cars are like rabbits (many of them)
And you say to the “few” people complaining – This issue is the #1 complaint thread at the EA forums.
Its not real, its not realistically modeled and looking at all the physics files I can point out each and every area in this game that leads to it being not “real” Not to mention SMS ripped of ISI’s Gmotor in terms of vehicle files and chassis information. But I’ve been digging around in the physics of the game what have you been doing?
Smoking pole and hyping up this title as a sim… Its a good game, its no Sim. You might as well quit now because each post you make sounds like a pandemic little child trying to prove that this is why it works blah blah blah when everything you post is easily discredited.

With the tweaks from NG Forums and oversteer at maximum, the game is very playable and enjoyable.

Now I have FFB similar to the ones from ISI engine, and the game physics now remind me of GTR2, though I can accelerate sooner and its a little more harder to spin out :P

This game has hidden potentialities :)

I did this:

1- Get the lateste drivers for Logitech 4.07

2- Logitech Config: http://h.imagehost.org/0783/Unbenannt-1.jpg

3- In the game:
– Go to basic tunning and put oversteer at the maxium level (very important for overall stability)
– Adjust Controls: http://h.imagehost.org/0923/nbenannt-1.jpg

4- Put this file in the folder and overwrite “ControllerDefaults” (backup the original :tongue:)
http://h.imagehost.org/download/0159/vehicleset_pc_custom_wheel

5- If you want more/less FFB feeling just change in the Logitech Config

Thanks to Juls, Bramski and Holger @NG Forums

May be not realistic enough for today’s simracing standards but will be enough for those people who don’t know a lot about simracing. That might bring new fans to the simracing scene though :)

Despite physics could be better, it’s a fun game to play, once you configure the controller settings properly. Even if you select the existing G25 profile you’ll have to adjust the sensitivity, etc. to get a good feeling.

So, a good title to have good fun with good looking cars :)
