yup, that's what I meant. They licensed and had to make it look like the real deal, why not go all the way and make all buttons work? :) I guess it was going to become too expensive, but I believe the value would be even greater.
Ever watch the Steve McQueen film Le Mans? The 917 have impulse tachometers.
It's bordering on madness what details are being added with the shader patch. True obsessive-compulsiveness. It's fucking mind boggling.
I love that film. It's so fucking bad apart from all the awesome driving footage. They should have just made it as a documentary.
I love the film too; the offtrack drama is fine however the cars were the stars. The first word my Grandfather taught me was Porsche so Le Mans was always going to be a film I loved.
I'm pretty sure Fanatec will never put fake switches on a steering wheel. ;)
The 12-way multi-position switches on the new Formula wheel have an additional rotary encoder functionality, meaning that they operate like the ones on the RMcL but also can be put into encoder mode, allowing them to be seen as a standard repeating input in two directions. The 'proper' 12-way mode is something we are pushing however. It works on ACC, iRacing will have it soon.
I must be one of the lucky ones who isn't affected. I bought a BMW GT2 rim, a Formula Carbon rim and the Porsche 918 rim when I got my CSW v2.5 because I thought the differences would matter, even in VR. For several years I'd exclusively been using the Formula rim for ALL cars with my old CSR-E so was convinced I'd miss it for Formula cars at least. It really wasn't the case for me. When I'm driving a variety of vehicles in VR my 918 feels like it shrinks, or grows, or thickens to match what's shown in the headset. It saves a lot of faffing around swapping rims and learning different button layouts - I just wish I'd known this before buying the others, lol.
I wish Fanatec would ship to Brazil, though (or even accept my BR card hehe). There are resellers - that I am not sure if they are official or not - and their prices are steep. A direct import could be about 20~30% less, I believe.
Excellent - I remember you feeling a little disappointed when you first got them.
Fanastic! The Reboot tracks are often the best ones to download.
Hockenheim '78 and Osterechring should also be updated on Reboot soon if my sources are correct...
Plenty of lifs in the old engine it seems. More impressed with the modders than UE4!GHG said:
Yep, it's never been healthier. I've got ACC and hear it's pretty crap right now but I never even made it beyond the menus and have no inclination at the moment to actually try driving any cars. I still find AC a far more attractive and exciting proposition.
210 degrees FOV, that's VR I can get behind. Don't want to know the size nor the necessary computing power.
