A controller is all that you need to race. A fancy, expensive wheel and pedal setup is NOT required. In-game assists will be available! (Of course a wheel and pedal setup will add to the immersion and may improve your times. Your mileage will vary.)
A short rally has been created as a our first “trial” Rally to iron out any settings.
Drivers registered as of this post: @TeTeT@chipwich@JediMaster@weaponz248@Magnum50@saghen Rally Japan 2 stages
(14 day/2 week deadline from today. Obviously, if we all finish before that, we can move to the next Rally with more stages.)
The duration of each Rally can be set from 1 day to 30 days. We all have lives, families, kids, jobs, etc. I was thinking anywhere from 3 to 5 days per STAGE. So a 4 stage Rally could be set to, say… 21 days… etc.
Let me know your thoughts: number of stages, duration of each rally, in-game settings, etc.
Well, I completed the stages. The first stage I flew off the road when the road did a hairpin and I wasn’t listening to my pace notes. I lost 20 seconds in that incident and could never make it up.
Wasn’t pretty but I got it through. Despite a few practices runs (time trial mode) on each stage, I cracked under pressure and had a few offs and took damage.
That first stage is crazy fast in the latter half. The second stage flows very well, yet you gotta be on your braking game during those blind turns otherwise you’re off in the weeds!
I think we’re waiting on one more to finish. I believe chipwich said he doesnt have a monitor at the moment? This was really just a trial run to check out the settings. I can abandon the championship before the deadline and we can dive right into a more complete schedule.
I’m wondering what the experience (fps) would be like driving in VR with the Oculus virtual desktop. Probably way too much latency to drive a rally car, but I’ll give it a try.
