How's the online GT3 racing on Le Mans Ultimate? | We find out :)

[@notfreshey]

Driving through a dust cloud feels so cool in this game. Also love how heavy the cars are when they make contact. LMU does a lot right

[@GillesGPH]

You can turn a option on in menu that it doenst shift back to neutral in settings . You also can set it that you use both shifter at same time to go to neutral .

[@cbracing_UK]

I absolutely love the FFB, the feeling of the ABS is cool as well

[@real_Zuramaru]

LMU feels so good to drive, and the online experience for me as of recent has been solid. No problems with FFB. It feels just as good as it was with GTE's. I think it's a hardware and settings issue for some.

[@jimijames95]

The FFB in LMU is just fine like you said Dave. Good race by the way.

[@dionp8164]

The ffb after initial weight transfer and turn in is almost non-existent. Finding the proper grip limit of the front tires near apex and early corner exit is impossible with the ffb and requires experimentation and visual detection of yaw. Nil Naujoks, Jardier and plenty of others within the sim racing community top ranks have pointed this out and I've experienced exactly the same thing myself. I suspect a recent patch messed this up a bit and a fix coming soon, or hope for it at least. I have a simucube 2 pro and used a variety of simucube profiles along with virtually every combination of settings in game and the only way to get any ffb at all mid corner/exit on slower speed corners makes the ffb weight unbearable on initial turnin and in straightaways near the center. This isn't realistic at all and will put off the more hardcore sim community. I will say the game's net code looks good. I do think the collision is a bit on the arcade side, cars can bump and almost nothing happens. Casual racers will love this as they can bang doors without issue but this isn't the case in RL either. Game has potential but needs a good bit of work to be taken seriously sadly.

[@VansCampingLife]

@Davecam I’ve seen people using the pit speed limiter at the start. It’s 60 kph and you just floor it and mash the button when the lights go out 🤙

[@davecamyt]

I thought about that when I was rolling but couldn't remember if it was LMU so played it safe 😁

Ive done this once before but it still gave me a DT for speeding at the start

Watching a LMU race feels more like a real race than iRacing - I think it's the far better use of flags, track limits and Jim's radio calls seem more useful too. I enjoy watching LMU racing far more than iRacing. Playing it on the other hand.... I'm so used to iRacing's... unique physics that I just seem to lose it all the time :D

LMU is very well optimized. VR or flat screen.

[@Thrillzorz]

Surprisingly this game looks way better but also runs way smoother than iracing does 🤣 I did a 2.4h of le mans race with a grid of around 40-50 cars and my fps stayed consistently above 180 on the formation lap and went even higher throughout the race, whereas on iracing that would be somewhere around 60-70ish fps then 90-110 fps once the race settles, I’m on a 5900x and 3080 on a single 1440p monitor

[@ducat7493]

i7 7700k 1080ti here, medium settings 90FPS stable, what ask more?

[@real_Zuramaru]

LMU is very optimized. Looks better than iRacing, and I can still maintain a solid 60 FPS (which is my monitor's refresh rate) even with a full grid on Le Mans with maxed out visual settings. Meanwhile, iRacing can sometimes struggle and I have to decrease some settings to have it run smoothly.

[@stewsaquarium1397]

[@fingers68]

I've always thought the FFB has been great, not put much time into the HY or the GT3 yet but the LMP2 and the Ferrari GTe feel fantastic. I think for some it has possibly to do with hardware/settings. For others it's possible regurgitation of what their favourite streamer tells them what to think. Others, bizarrely sour grapes.

[@zacharycocos608]

I find the FFB when driving the prototypes to be the issue. Low to medium speed entrances and mid corner feedback just seems to be nonexistent for both front and rear axles. That said, I stick to the LMGT3 cars :)

[@fan2hd277]

LMP1 was a blast to drive fast and they killed it. Now they killed the LMP2 and the LMdH are way too fast and still totally unrealistic. So much for the best sim 😂

[@snick9314]

For hyper car ffb setting cha gesture are required between gt3/gte and hyper car. I use an alpha mini and I don't change the settings between cars they are very difficult to drive and I can't tell much of anything. Switch setting to hyper car settings and the FFB is a dream

Can you tell me the difference between your LMU GT3 brake settings vs them on iracing? I have the same Simucube pedal as you. Also please talk about the difference in braking techniques in the different sims. Thanks Dave and Merry Christmas to you and Julie

[@coachschoen]

The internal audio for the sights and sounds of the vehicle are soooo much better in this game compared to iRacing ...

[@LuckYp0rriDge]

@coachschoen not disagreeing with you. Have you tried iRacing since they updated in the latest patch? It has noticeably improved, as has the sound coming from nearby cars. Tho it still needs the volume cranking up.

[@randydelacruz426]

I’ve been enjoying LMU a lot however I think Iracing has better in car sound just try and compare the Caddy gtp for ex

[@10mmGR]

Dave you having any problems with ffb at low speed in LMU? Its not insanely bad in gt cars but in any of the prototypes i get little to no ffb at low speeds. Im asking because i use the asetek forte and for the life of me i cant get it to feel good.

[@EricW6800]

@@10mmGR I'm on a Invicta base. You have to consider these cars all have Power steering these days, a electric drive part (a proper simulated version), and the grip difference between cold and operating temperature is fairly big and it needs a push to get them in the right window. Make sure the FFB in racehub is at 100% and disable any filtering as the Asetek is a very smooth and precise base by itself. I personally feel every detail.

[@GawPL]

increase the ffb sensitivity in game, even though it says not to touch it for dd. It flattens the ffb scaling curve, so less grip will start higher forces

[@GawPL]

above 100%, I’m running 130-140 csl dd 8nm

[@10mmGR]

@EricW6800 I feel none at low speed. Also I'm in operating Temps. I have no problem with it feeling numb when I have cold tires. Simulating power steering is not an excuse for lack of detail. I've also seen people make an excuse that the wheel would be very light irl in slow corners. While that might be true we don't get the luxury of feeling the car under you. So we supplement it with ffb.

Same here. Spa is one of my quickest tracks in the Hypercars and I can usually have a good race in Split 1. In the GT3, I'm over 2 seconds off the pace just in sector 2 lol.
