Cannot recommend AUSNZ SimRacing highly enough! Great bunch of people who host multiple RaceRoom events every week and super welcoming. The Tuesday Thunder format is awesome for good racing too, especially with the safety car in the first race, gives people a chance to bunch up again and have another go if they had a spin or were still getting used to the car in the first half. Then of course, race 2 puts everything on its head 🤣 Some great memories racing with AUSNZ and hoping to get back racing again with them ASAP, can't make tomorrow but hopefully next week 🤞 shame because my first ever race with these guys was here at Zolder and this is bringing back some nice memories. Have fun mate, see you out on track soon no doubt!

Does this still work in 2024 for you? I tried to set it up recently, and couldn’t tell if it was working or not. I will double check a couple of settings from your video (I didn’t configure vJoy, or select the wheel from accFFB). Still, ACC recognised the vJoy control… and strangely, the gain in ACC seemed to still work, so I’m not sure is accFFB has completely taken over

@@happilyaverageracer well , I'm not really into night time racing. Moreover most of the tracks irl just don't support(have facilities) for night racing, so even if we have it, it should be limitation depending on track. As in GT7. For the lights, it's a weak point in re. You can take R32 Gr.N and turn on the front lights, it will be almost 2d visible texture with sharp edge when light ends. For the rain, it would be awesome, to have something like in Ams2. Agree here

For driving sims graphics are so far down the list of importance for me personally. Great graphics don’t make for great driving experiences. AMS2 looks pretty ( almost cartoonish ) and has great performance, but has really weird handling and you powerslide for speed, plus terrible AI and online. Dirt Rally 2.0 and EA WRC look decent but again dumbed down easy to manipulate physics like AMS2. Then the contrasting sims raceroom and rf2 not the best looking and dated, but the physics and handling are incredible, great online and for the most part decent AI. RBR again not exactly pretty and very dated but still more immersive to drive. I’ll take immersive handling and physics over pretty graphics all day everyday.

Problem with going down to 1st is that your slowing the car down for longer than when using 2nd or 3rd (sounds like an obvious statement but that's what's happening) and then you have to build that momentum back up coming out of T1 while getting maximum wheel spin because you're in first gear...
