Okay ngl, the sounds of the ABS clunking and TC going off are SO immersive to me. It felt like such an obvious thing to be there, but it never has been in any game I can think of. When I really noticed it the first time I biffed a corner, it blew me away. This game has come so far already and is a must have if you have any kind of wheel.

Good on you, David. It is awesome to see a fellow South African doing so well on the international racing scene. Racing has been a passion since my dad took me to my first Grand Prix at Kyalami in 1968. I now live in Vancouver, Canada and enjoy following the astonishing successes that you and the Binder brothers are enjoying. As for ACC, I was an early adopter and the improvements over time have been astonishing, Thanks for making my sim racing experience so munch more fun. God bless, and a happy New Year, David.

[@Elvin_Smith]

hearing some of things you've said about ACC, its so relieving. Amazing vid again mate!🙂 i think if the real drivers feel like there almost in the same car then its near perfect!(regarding it being a sim) but i think most people will agree on the FFB being slightly vague on when you do start to slip. The REAL question everyone is wondering, will you ever do a league/community race with us plebs on ACC? 😅

[@DrViiiii]

Great job giving Kunos your feedback for the sound. I find the awesome sound gives this game an atmosphere like no other. Some great headphones + VR and you forget where you are.

[@jonathanyoung6397]

Great video! And David seems like a great guy. Love to see real racing drivers influence the development of sims. For me, ACC is the greatest sim there is by a long distance. Limited in content, yes - but there are a decent number of tracks and a lot of awesome cars. Just because they're all GT3 cars doesn't mean they are all the same - far from it, There's a LOT here to keep you going for a long, long time.

[@sky194]

Could not agree more. I like quality over quantity, ACC has quality, and it's only getting better.

[@InsanenessMedia]

I was hesitant to purchase ACC... then I saw this and just now purchased it on Steam. Great work David

[@Saabjock]

Two of the exact criticisms I have brought up...difficulty in slide recovery due to small envelope at break-away and lack of initial cold braking. Good to get that confirmation. Never could quite understand why even some mod cars for the original AC had zero braking on leaving the pits....for upward of two laps. Every car I have ever driven in anger, will practically try to pitch you out the windshield after a few corners. Thanks for stating that.

[@camangoo]

I too enjoy playing with myself! 😉😉

[@sprintermaximus]

This is fantastic. Been playing acc for a while now. Heard Thiims thoughts a few months ago. The game has come a long way since I bought it in beta mode.

Very cool!

So well spoken man , hope you go far , you seem like a good guy , Good luck from your home country!

[@Ermz]

It would be great to see what you thought of rFactor 2 in one of these comparisons, as I've never heard you mention it. I uninstalled all my other sims after trying it with the GT3 packs (including AC and ACC). Everything else felt under-modeled after experiencing its insane tyre model and FFB, though I'm curious whether that's just my layperson impression, or whether it treads water with an actual GT3 driver.

[@Luhmixer]

Even if the GT3 driver now tells you that he thinks ACC is better or more real, it's nothing more than a subjective impression, because everyone evaluates the optical impressions and the FFB differently, especially since the whole thing also depends on the hardware. Anthony Davidson, a former Formula 1 driver, also wanted to market the Formula 1 series from Codemasters as realistic. For example, I find that on a monitor with a non-real FOV, the behavior is difficult to evaluate. The best way to do this is in VR. It would be interesting, if you let at least 10 drivers compare the simulations.

[@karlprins1207]

Shoutout from the ZA. This is so mad. Massive fan and was super stoked to see you in the game and able to play as you. Will be absolutely awesome to finally see a racing game giving SA some love. Now they just need to add Killarney in a game for the rallycross. Keep doing what you're doing, and all the best, from not just me but I'm sure the other saffas too. Hope to see you at Kyalami

Dude...fov and camera position are two different and independent things. You can use correct fov AND have the same in car view that you like...unless you use a mini(too small) monitor/tv and/or it is too far away...The fact that he is a pro driver doesn't make him a geometry expert.. and what you are doing is called "appeal to authority" logical fallacy...

[@PaleD]

Now makes sense why you were always so quiet about ACC, I'm really glad Kunos reached out. I completely agree that regarding GT3s this is the only stop for proper simulation. I hope to see more content in the future, hopefully not AI since that's not the best. MP is not where it needs to be but there are choice servers with very fast drivers that would love to have you race with them. Agreed about the FFB, however on Fanatec wheels I do not have the problem of light FFB, Thrustmaster suffers from that. My T300RS is woeful, brothers Fanatec CSL Elite is quite strong and communicates extremely well the smaller nuanced ffb. This is where high grade equipment really pays off, Fanatec DD1 being the ultimate. Hope to see you online, loving all of your content. Cheers.

I think you mentioned it as well, but theres such a fine line between having good grip and scrubbing the tires in ACC. Maybe it's the Pirelli tires, or maybe it's even accurate idk, but I find it nearly impossible to catch a slide in ACC. And with the not great FFB its hard to even feel a small slide before it's too late. That's my biggest criticism of ACC.

David Perel I actually never wanted this to sound negative, I was really looking forward to this video. I actually was frightened as well... What if you say ACC is garbage?! 😮 On the FFB issue you mentioned, i use a fanatec wheel, and they provide setting for each base and game, maybe that's the same for Thrustmaster. What I want to say it, on PC you have a lot more options to change the FFB overall. Maybe you can help a lot of people to find a "Coach Dave" approved ACC trustmaster setting... ;) And on FOV... It's like religion... Does not need to be discussed. 😜
