HYPER-REALISTIC ACC - GT2 PACK! - More Fun than GT3?

[@brianjackson1833]

I think the new content is great. Way different feel than the GT3 cars that is for sure, Adding additional diversity to this title is a good thing, with 3 GT series and the cup cup class ACC is really starting to blossom IMO.

[@Gizfreek]

As a fan of both the Red Bull Ring and the KTM X-Bow this pack was a no brainer for me and finally got me back into sim racing after an over a year long break.

[@ShawnHinck]

I really hope multiclass races become a thing with GT2, 3 and 4

It never ceases to amaze me how you talk so much during a race yet maintain your speed... I havnt seen any of your peers do this to the extent that you do. Wish you would come back to ACC and do more races like you used to

I am in love with these videos !! Really feels like we are in there with you

[@christopherblanchard1348]

Even before watching your video Will, I was thinking the GT2s felt more similar to iRacing than the GT3 cars. The laser scan of the Red Bull Ring is brilliant and makes me eager for the Nords scan. This update and content to ACC makes me realise how much more this sim has to offer in future content and tracks. It makes me wonder what content AC2 will have and if and how AC2 and ACC will co-exist

[@psychox77100x]

This Video was ridicously catching to watch. Nice explainations and demonstrations here. Definitely one of the most enjoyale race-videos I've ever seen. Couldn't stop watching. I also feel like the GT3 cars felt numb sometimes. I'm curios if I feel difference with the CSL Elite enough until getting a better setup. Definitely would love to build a setup like yours, if it wasn't that expensive.

[@jonathanclarke4529]

Catching?

[@mr.madhatter5538]

As someone who is struggling alot getting into sim racing and Acc. Easier handling cars would be a boon for players like me

[@bearsjunky23hof88]

It sounds crazy but try Wreckfest. There actually is some pretty good racing there if you pick the right servers. The physics are a little bit arcade, but there is enough realism there to make your transition to real-life sims a lot easier. Wreckfest is what got me into sim ricing. It was really surprising to me how many things that I learned from Wreckfest that I still use in the sims I play today

[@Matt43]

iRacing is a bit of a money pit but has lower class cars (Miata cup, GR86, etc) Sticking with ACC though, the GT4 cars (DLC) have much more forgiving handling but not as much of a following (but if you're just doing races against the AI it doesn't matter... I raced against the AI for almost a year before I bothered with racing other people)

[@putzak]

Raceroom is free to play and has great physics imo. It comes with quite a bit of free content.

[@carscoffeeandcannabis-634]

To be honest, none of these cars in ACC are super challenging to drive, you just have to take the time to learn them. Learn real braking technique, learn to feel the car through your FFB and learn what it's telling you, and treat it like a real car, with real weight, and the rest will come naturally. One of the biggest evolutions in my driving skill was learning to not try to overpower the FFB. Hold the steering wheel lightly, and let it react to things, and just guide it gently. More often than not, the steering will react to what's happening and correct itself; especially if you use a direct drive wheel

[@AntDePietto51]

GT4 cars are a great place to start. Lots of fun to throw them around

[@PaoloCesana]

The 488 Ferrari is the challeger (Trophy) which is not a GT2 but same as the Lambo they are very close to a GT2 and can technically run the series I belive. There is no version of a 296 GT2 but probably the 2024 challenger version will be probably.

[@dathyr1]

Thanks for the video on the GT2 vehicles. Great racing and really like the way you have graphics and live view of your hands intermixed while racing. I have ACC and use VR with my SIM racing. I am into more of the other SIM racing games than ACC, but I will get into driving in that game eventually. Thanks again and Take care.

[@kootrell]

There’s no intermixing of graphics and hands. It’s all one shot. His hands and steering wheel are real and everything else you see is on three 65” screens in front of him.

[@ollie.n1302]

Awesome video Will🔥🔥

[@99chrisbling]

Great vid. I found the Audi to be the fastest in straight line speed. But not the quickest to stop! Jardier recommends setting caster to max. I find this true in most cars, it gives more feedback from the tyres and feels more connected to the track for me.

[@tarushdei]

I only had one session on the RBR track and the level of detail on the track surface is stunning, even with my Thrustmaster TMX, I felt everything coming through (which doesn't happen a lot in ACC). It's got me hot and bothered in anticipation for the Nordschleife.

[@Rezamajedi]

What a race ❤

[@superfly2323]

I see that ACC still hasn't fixed their lighting. You can barely see the cars brake lights. Thats been my gripe with this game since day one, specially since I strictly only play these in VR. I always go back to AMS2 because they nailed lighting in that game. The perfect sim would be a hybrid between ACC and AMS2 that would be heavenly.

[@tapidlittle13]

I still don't understand why people think iRacing graphics are ugly and ACC are good. To me, your videos on iRacing looks much better. Great video anyway just a little tought about graphics.

[@SumR4ndom]

Great to watch dude, keep up the good work

[@yourfavoritelawnguy2722]

Man i'd kill to get a DD wheel and a VR headset (rocking the g920 wheel with CLS LC elite pedals(modded with better throttle and brake) on a stand i push up against my desk, spent all my "extra" money on a new gpu. No room for a dedicated setup with big monitors but man you make it look fun and worth the money.

[@QuantumS1ngularity]

For me on G29 it's a night and day difference between GT3 and GT2. The GT2s have great tire feedback and you always know what is going on. Jumping back in GT3 is completely numbing. Not feel for the grip whatsoever. The biggest plus is that the main GT2 cars, the Maserati, the Audi and the KTM are extremely close in performance and are far easier to set up than any GT3 car. And in the rain they are just SO.MUCH.FASTER.

[@grigorioschristodoulou5229]

I’m sure the Maserati is fast in the straights too if you don’t hit the rev limiter :)

[@stefanroseEP3]

It's made mixed lobbies a bit more interesting, can't say I've used the cars much tho, although I tend to use the 720 Evo all the time

[@Rowdycons]

ACC is back yall. Amazing. That is the pinnacle. 💪

[@Aftenbar]

Honestly Red Bull Ring is worth the price of the dlc itself. Gt2 cars are fun but I find them rather 'heavy' for me but I'm newish to simracing and need to concentrate on more basics atm so driving lots of different cars/classes isn't one of my skills yet.

[@POPPYTHERED]

That’s some setup that mate 🤯👏🏻

[@NoOne56488]

Mate, your set up is nuts...Now makes me feel small for my 1st sim racing set up with a 55" LG C3 and a TR160 Mk4. ACC or iR for 1st time sim racing?

[@23456Ralph]

Hello, thank you for all the great programming and sorry if you've answered this before but can you do a video about using the fanatec wheel and pedals with xbox, if you have an xbox or recommend any person that does as I'm struggling get me wheel setup right in forza motorsport 8 and acc on xbox and f1 2023 And wrc, I like to jump between different games and driving disciplines, in forza I have a problem with the wheel oscillating on straights when I let go of the wheel, in f1 I'm finding its not snappy enough thru corners, wrc I think my terrible driving is not helping with the setup as cant tell if my driving or wheel haha and acc feels a little numb,I sure there alot to do with being a console but any help would be very much appreciated, thank again

[@empii911]

Nice to have something different on ACC. But in the end it will end up like GT4 already struggling to get more than one split on LFM - and then there is the fact these are way too fast compared to GT3 laptimes. Average gap in real life is around 3-4 seconds, even on Monza.

[@msandonato23]

that was a great finish. way to reel him in 👍🏻

[@kristof080]

Hello, which base will be better? MOZA Racing R16 Direct Drive Wheel Base - V2 or ASETEK LA PRIMA 12 NM. Both can be purchased for around €800. I am mainly concerned with the feel of the force feedback. Thank you in advance and good luck with creating super content.

[@Pedster9]

Cannot wait for this pack to come to console PS5

[@POPPYTHERED]

Regarding the rig! WOW!!! I’d love one 👍🏻

[@koswimmer1]

idk if you do the setup tweaking yourself or get presets or just use the one the game give, but if you do the tweaking. could you be able to do a video on it? like how to setup or explaining for a 10 year old type of thing. i struggle with that, plus i don't have good hardware to work on so i don't feel that motivated to drive that much. love the videos anyway.

[@StevenFurio]

I'd love to see you try Assetto Corsa with LFM!

[@tztok-rubkok6789]

Out of curiosity do you typically sim in 4k or 1440P? A follow up question, on a triple screen setup (55" each) would you rather run 4k@80-90 FPS, or 1440P at a stable 120+? (with 120 hz screens)

[@Deathblooms66]

Hey Will, another great video! I am building a system and have the room for either triple 55s or triple 65s. Now that you have had plenty of time behind the triple 65s, do you recommend going with that size?

[@TURTLEWORKSRACING]

I love ACC but the lack of tracks and the low rez mirrors(even at max settings) really turn me back to AC. I'm running a 4090 fyi.

[@kingbill22]

What a battle this looks like incredible fun

[@wdmeister]

The problem with every pack is that nobody plays them in the open lobby. I race on Valencia maybe once a month and never on Mount Panorama. If someone has time for LFM then go for it but don't expect to be able to play it after 2-3 weeks from the release in the open lobby.

[@zorrothebug]

what exactly do you mean by having "time for LFM"? You can do sprint races in LFM almost the same way you could join open lobby races. You don't need to compete for the season standings. Just join a sprint race and go for it?

Hi Will. Always loved your videos watching them for years. Now here is a question for you. Like you I am running a motion rig. I notice that your "real wheel" moves in line with the virtual dash. In my setup as my motion rig moves left/right in corners, the dash does move out of position. How do you keep yours so aligned ? any tips on this ?

[@boostedmedia]

I’ve experimented with a few options for motion compensation including Jerry rigging a trackIR but nothing has worked well. I just don’t run a lot of pitch and roll. Mostly just haptics.

[@brulaapgaapmeester8052]

I have no motion rig, but isn't this something that has to do with the 'look with wheel' settings in the view section?

[@haraldrieder691]

@@brulaapgaapmeester8052 I tried so many different view settings in AC, ACC and AMS2…which are the 3 sims I run. Found nothing that takes care of this thus far. Tx for the input though.

[@eedoamitay3341]

Really enjoy your videos man, just wondering why you dont do any LFM stuff on ACC?

[@boostedmedia]

Funny story actually, I tried to join up about a year ago but my SR was too low from all the testing of gear I do in single player mode (didn't realise you could turn off SR for single player), so now I can't join.

[@zorrothebug]

@@boostedmedia So, basically you would need to race some more, even in single player, to raise your SR a bit, to be able to join LFM? Could this be a project for you? Not just a massive grind over one weekend but more so some races sprinkled over the time span of a month to get your SR up? Enough for the LFM license and after that the SR will raise on it's own, while you can enjoy some good ACC races online.

Hi Will/Tom. I have been watching your reviews and hyper-realistic videos for almost a year now and I'm thinking about getting a better setup (I bought a G923 during lockdown to see if I like sim racing). I want to get the CSL Elite V2 pedals and Clubsport shifter but I'm not sure whether to go with the CSL DD 8nm or the Moza R9 (with a 320/330mm round wheel & a GT/Formula wheel). I have watched your comparison video but Moza have built up their brand a lot since then. Which company would you recommend for the wheel base and wheels? I'm not concerned about Fanatec's customer support and shipping delays.

[@boostedmedia]

If you’re not concerned about the current Fanatec situation then I would go with fanatec. Moza are a bit behind with software and firmware currently.

[@thomasbouvier3203]

I feel like the gt2 might have received an early build of new suspension mecanics. The physics was announced to be reworked for upcoming Nordschleife, and gt3/gt4 were too rigid and bouncy in game to be able to run around. So, my guess is they add this to gt2 and debug it before moving to gt3 when nord comes out. Can’t wait for your asetek pagani pedals review. Got one set but still’ waiting for the rig to come and wheel (order from fanatec so, bit of waiting 😇🥲) Used ur code to get my pagani pedals and didn’t open them yet.

[@thomasbouvier3203]

I would have say that its a steroid gt4 cars more than cup cars as some have no abs or tc sometime. At least as a huge gt4 driver it felt like that. And really more soft and playfull tho smooth than gt3. Audi is even safer for me! Only porsche is painfully to drive, the 935 kept killing me with oversteer. Gt2rs manthey have grip but felt like 991gt3r.1, lot of understeer to fight. Mercedes was THE car for me, i had wanted that twin turbo 4.0L v8 in gt3 one for so long. And it is sooooo nice and blurpy. Loved gt4, love this one. Even love gt3 tho it was less torquy than i like it. Maserati could be tricky but reminded me a lot of 296 Ferrari, sound wise, drive feel etc. Ktm was grounded to the road, no slide at all, super short braking but sadly lacks a bit of power.
