Is Dirt Rally close to RBR's physics/FFB now?

 

[Tobbe Bergman]

how much hassle it to set the game up like this? Does anyone know where to get a copy.

Is the game now good enough that it is playable without any mods? Do you still use mods to fix FFB for example?

 

[yusupov]

no need imo

 

[RaceNut]

Although I use SC4's FFB with the AF, I did recently try the game FFB and it has improved quite a bit.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

I've never used any FFB mods. It's not perfect, but it does work well!

 

[Rallycameraman]

I've never used any mods either, and I don't really need to now with this wheel i've got. Tarmac FFB does need fettling though, which will be done soon.

Is this confirmed ?

Tarmac stages are completely absent of any road feel and FFB.
I only feel weight distribution on tarmac stages.

Yes, confirmed.

Yes, confirmed.

Got a source on that m8 ?

I can't remember where I read it now, may have been in the private section of the Codies forum, but rest assured Mikaela it'll be tweaked. The physics are still a bit WIP too.

That would be a very welcome update IMO !

Just wonder HOW SOON !

 

[bogani]

As soon as all cars are V2 they will update the FFB that became lighter after V2 came about with much less downforce than before.
I really think this relates to the tarmac as it feels good on gravel already.

So within a month when the WW is out it'll be fixed hopefully !

Right now tarmac stages are awful IMHO

One of the weekly blog posts mentioned that the side effect of less downforce was lighter FFB. They said they would be returning it.

Dirt Rally
Graphics 9 ( Wet tarmac reflections need fixing )
Physics 6 ( Needs more work )
FFB 5 ( Needs more work )
Audio 8 ( Lots of sound FX are missing like Impacts, Tire squeal etc etc )
Stages 9 ( More unique stages are needed not just 2 per country )
Damage 9

Quoted from Mikaela Andersson.

How much would your ratings change as of the current version? I'm curious.

 

[Tobbe Bergman]

After long time use

Graphics 8-1/2 ( Wet tarmac reflections need fixing )
Physics 5 ( Needs more work )
FFB 4 ( Needs more work )
Audio 8 ( Lots of sound FX are missing like Impacts, Tire squeal etc etc )
Stages 9 ( More unique stages are needed not just 2 per country )
Damage 6

Used to use Realism Pack but find not needed now. Do however use MoreCarMovement mod find this really good.
Just think the feel of it is so much better now, FFB is pretty good but still room for improvement

Wow! I did not expect the important stuff to be that low. Though I agree on most, I would switch FFB for damage. From ending my race in a single crash in RBR to an unlimited amount of resets after full speed tree colision in DR, it feels like a complete joke.

After trying the last version, I agree the FFB does the job though I still find myself forced to use a cam mod, but I really wish there was a working damage mod out there.

In the latest DR live stream they talked about terminal damage. They currently don't offer it, but have at least removed the flashbacks from earlier DiRT games. The latest patch did increase the chance of component failure, however.

They are aware that a very small minority of users would like more realistic damage where a single mistake will end your rally, the only question is whether it's important enough to implement in the very limited remaining dev time (realistically they are now in the bug fix and polish phase).

The alternative is that you can simply retire yourself if you wrap your car around a tree.... Same end result....

If I understand you correctly, I have experienced terminal damage. Came off the road at speed into the trees which ended my rally with over 80% damage. Thing I do find though punctures seem to be rather common place.
