I thought what the hell, I'll update to the new version and see what's what.
13GB update... :-\
Steam. I don't understand your second question.
After cooling down - and having a fantastic thursday night fun race - I've re-started the download.
It's now here, I've had a few runs.
I have to give it the thumbs up on sound & looks. Also in the the "parts flying" section it performs 100%, I've seen my Lotus49's front suspension disintegrate - brake disc, springs & tyres all in different directions!
The feel (feedback) is not as good as nkp/AC, but not too bad.
The physics engine does some weird shit. There's the braking; it's at 50% balance, at full braking all 4's lock up and the car rights itself.
Then there's dirt, but the tyres don't feel/seem to pick it up.
I've also had some weird vibration at low-ish (below 100km/h) speeds at the front, coupled with tyre squeal in really mild corners. Not sure what it was, but it was weird.
Driving the Lotus49 feels like you're taming a drunk wild stallion. It's nearly undrivable.
So far that's all folks, I reckon it's going to be an enjoyable driving game with those road tracks, but I'm not sure about the realistic driving experience part (except when you hit something - but we'd rather avoid that woudn't we?)
Good writeup Bird.
Simone, I requested a refund into my PayPal account, but so far it hasn't happened.
Edit: Actually, just got my refund today. It took several weeks.
You don't use the clutch in AC???? :o :o
I wouldn't get a gearbox to last one lap without a clutch!
(unless it's a flappy-paddle car ;))
I don't know about paddles only, I have an H-pattern and it's definitely required.You don't use the clutch in AC???? :o :o

I have clutch enabled and not auto gearbox, are you telling me my clutch should be needed and working with paddles same as a h shifter like iracing and project cars ?
Using paddles, you don't need a clutch in any car, but like Bacchulum said, with an H shifter you will rapidly blow up your gearbox without a clutch.I don't know about paddles only, I have an H-pattern and it's definitely required.You don't use the clutch in AC? ??? :o :o

interesting, I hope ac treats paddle more like a shifter in the future, didnt realise how lazy ac had made me with shifting and heal toeing. dont know why they dont fix that

Because you get a speed penalty for not using the H shifter, or auto clutch, more accurately.
the more i drive it the more i like
No. You can (I could) somehow get a steam key out of them and activate it on steam.the more i drive it the more i like
Do have to purchase this again from Stream if you had an early dev subscription?
It's interesting that for every 5-6 people that say "it just doesn't feel right" there is one that say "it's great".
We're all different, aren't we :)

The FFB was great, the track, a little smooth, was stunning! I think an in-between season run with all those that have Cars is on the cards.
Apparently if you can fix the default FFB settings it gets better...That's what they say on the ARSE forums. But they also say that you need to set the FFB "right" on every car, maybe every track/car combo. And that's just way too much trouble for me. Not to mention to understand what you're doing you have to wade through an hour of video and understand it properly. I say fuck that. My time is better spent on something else, thanks.
Still no good for me unless I can change FOV
when traveling straight, ie straight wheel, at speed, the virtual wheel shakes, but my wheel doesn't!
I gave up on it and got a refund, I'm afraid.Should've done that Wally, I just received my 3rd dividend payout, another $20. ;D 8)
But I invested my refund a year ago and it's now worth $125.I gave up on it and got a refund, I'm afraid.Should've done that Wally, I just received my 3rd dividend payout, another $20. ;D 8)
I just like the irony that pCars pays for all my AC content. 8)Lol

Ok it has one thing that I like: those point-to-point road courses.
I had a go at that free Pagani version. The visuals are stunning, and performed really well on high or max settings, even in the rain. But the FFB was just weird. It didn't communicate anything the car was doing. I had several "oh look, I'm spinning" moments, and was unable to catch most slides. I even tried to tweak the two pages of FFB "calibration" options, but gave up in the end.
