Title: Dirt Rally
Post by: Wally on April 30, 2015, 07:46:58 AM: Is anyone going to try this? It sounds vaguely promising, and the graphics look great. I haven't raced a rally sim since RBR. I might give it a look.

Off to look at this...

I want to go back home NOW!

It is early, the horn button remains stationary, but who cares, is a MINI!

Post by: Wally on April 30, 2015, 09:26:29 AM: I've been reading that this one is a little more sim-like, but not perfect.

Post by: Bird on April 30, 2015, 09:41:59 AM: I read good things about it, seems promising, but I'll wait until it's released. I'm very cautious about anything pre-release nowadays.

Post by: Freezer on May 30, 2015, 12:10:08 AM: Downloaded it tonight and had a quick run in a few cars. Bearing in mind its a work in progress, I think it pretty good already. Graphically very impressive and certainly a challenge to drive. The older class cars at this stage seem the best and most fun. Definitely worth getting for $50AUD if you want a change of pace.

I'm with you on this I have had some rings in the mini and it is tough but fun.

Post by: Rolz on May 31, 2015, 09:30:12 AM: Yeah downloaded and played a bit yesterday, it's fun but definitely a work in progress...

Hope they release H shift option for real manuals - paddles on the Mini was a bit weird

Also navigating menu's when on G27 was tough... I don't know what button 19 is to go back... Kind of silly to have that printed out to reference navigating menu in between stages...

Still overall a thumbs up for where its at and hopefully where it will end up... loved how trashed my Mini looked after my first stage... ;D

Post by: ThyMelman on July 25, 2015, 03:18:21 PM: Phil, its a massive improvement, but I suggest running this FFB mod aswell alongside because omg its sooo good.

Honestly guys try it out if you havnt yet.

TBH I love this game and I would recommend it 110%

Post by: Bird on July 25, 2015, 04:23:29 PM: I do recommend it to, despite of the physics flaws it's great fun.
You can always trial it on Steam ;)

the few times I have played it, the ffb is crap, whether I use the setup file from one of the experts, just gave up.

Post by: Bird on September 21, 2015, 08:37:30 AM: Phil, last I heard they are rewriting some of the controller code, maybe you're in luck - but of you bought it on steam you can get a refund up to 14 days past release. It's pre-release right now, so there's no hurry.

Bruce, it's interesting, I did not find the FFB to be that bad. The physics is a kinda unbelievable at points, the but FFB was ok. Altho I haven't touched it in a month or so, maybe it has changed?
Title: Re: Dirt Rally
Post by: Bruce on September 21, 2015, 01:21:43 PM: I could not, (or didn't spend enough time get it right), but it was always 'light as a feather' with no feel.
maybe I stuffed up the profile part, but the suggested mod file did very little,
When I get time will have another bash at it.
Title: Re: Dirt Rally
Post by: Bird on September 22, 2015, 08:29:09 AM: Well, for what it's worth the mod I've tried did little for me, too. However, it had ample feel by default on my Fanatec Gt3 wheel.

Post by: Bruce on April 08, 2016, 10:08:33 AM: Well I went for a drive in my new Renault Alpine A110, ohh now that is a nice car... still smashed it in stage 2, but hey I'm sponsored!
