Automobilista "free" and wheel and clutch settings?

3 posts in this topic

Free for GSCE owners? I haven't looked around extensively about this (ISRTV may have even posted this somewhere), but in case you didn't know, it appears the pre-release of Automobilista is free on Steam for Game Stock Car Extreme owners--at least it was in my case. If you own GSCE, check your Steam library. It should be listed there and ready to install.

UPDATE: Apparently you have had to purchased GSCE after a certain date to get Automobilista at no charge.

Wheel and pedal settings? For anyone that's spent some time with it already, please post some information about wheel settings, primarily for the TX or T300RS if you have either, and I'd like to adjust the clutch so it's bite point is "higher" in the pedal travel... like a real car. I make that adjustment in most other sims. The clutch setting for Automobilista is probably one of those "if it were a snake..." kind of things.

Rieza might have something here... Overall, I think this may turn out to be a much needed upgrade to GSCE, and it could turn out to be one of the better sims. I haven't spent a lot of time with it yet, but I've run a few test laps, and I think there's enough there to keep bringing me back (which is one way I determine if a sim is good or not). For some reason, GSCE just never really "did it for me" but there's something different about Automobilista. Though there's some nit-picky things, Reiza has really improved everything a lot. I even like the HUD, and they apparently have a setting for ultra-wide monitors so it isn't stretched or squashed. I'm also impressed that I can push the Formula V into understeer, or a drift (oversteer), but then recover it in a very realistic way, and I like the tire sounds with just the right amount of "squibble and warble" at the edge of traction. I wish iRacing would take note--it's the primary reason that I don't feel "connected" to the cars in iRacing, their virtual tires don't "talk" to me like real tires do in those situations.

I ran about 100 laps in the f3 and another 50 laps in the v10 f1..

Wow..... these guys have a wonderful sim here.. real road, tires actually pick up debris and flat spotting and graining..

I must say that they are on the right track!!!
