Is the next Le Mans Ultimate GT3 Update a Game Changer?

[@dc-sc1vm]

Got my bets on the second car being the corvette sounds very similar to it

[@MichiHoyer]

Noted :) I think its Corvette indeed too :P

[@RacingWithChuck27]

$15 a month is nothing. I’ve done many hobbies through the years, golf, fishing, moto track days, boating, RC racing, slot cars and more. Plus we spend thousands on a rig, wheel base, pedals etc.. Online racing is cheap. Iracing is successful with a crap netcode, avg everything else but servers world wide. I’ll spend the money with LMU to support sim racing. I’m a league racer, I got my silver because and just did 10 races in the back to be safe. So leagues coming is what I’m looking forward to, not gt3.

[@MichiHoyer]

Thats great to hear you are looking forwards to the leagues. Hopefully they also flush in. Would be good for the community too. I agree with the Hobby expenses. Played Handball myself, at leas 1 pair of shoes per year, 1 can of wood liquid for sticky gluey hands, and the 500km of travels every season for all the "away-games"... certainly more expensive than 150€/yr

[@rickrolled7930]

"We spend" is more like a select few spend. I managed to go with just over 1k for a full rig chassis, pedals, 34 inch ultrawide monitor and monitor stand. And that's again, for a full rig which i'll probably never change much of. 15$ per month is not really nothing. I understand they need money but this should be a temporary solution until they gain popularity. Iracing is also not that much more popular and outright superior than the cheaper brother acc was at its peak, when it was still being developed and worked on. So while i do understand the curent msg and s397 situation, let's still not encourage this money throwing at racing sims.

[@zachdoran10]

@@rickrolled7930these companies that develop sims, are so small. they can't afford to put out continuous content. anyone who understands this, would be willing to support their favorite sims. look at iracing, it has the worst tire model in sim racing and it's still the most popular sim by far. so people are willing to pay for stuff. give the dev teams that actually know how to make something drive good extra resources

[@RacingWithChuck27]

@@rickrolled7930iracing has I think 270,000 users. If you have a release and you pay that then never pay for anything again, how can you have any progress, keep the quality people, pay them, give them raises and have a successful business. It’s a business, their career developers, engineers that work there, marketing. To each his own

[@LiminalThoughts]

Not everyone gets paid in first world currency (dollar, euro). Good for you if you can spend $15 a month without second thoughts, but that's not "cheap"

[@CR7_Suiiii07]

You guessed right MICHI 296 Ferrari and the corvette C8R

[@lincolnklayvr]

I've been racing in VR since 2016 and the last LMU update put VR in a really good state aside from a tweak or two so I have the utmost confidence the finished VR will be a great experience

[@Gaboriel90]

The mega cool news I celebrate the game. I have not had so much fun with a racing game for a long time. It challenges you and at the same time rewards you if you drive a lot - I love it

[@KingOfYing1]

I think LMU is the best sim out there at the moment in terms of FFB/physics and tyre model. BUT it is very light on content compared to pretty much any other sim, nobody is going to pay for the game, pay again for the content and then move their subscription from iRacing to a sim with 10% of the content for more money.

[@logieuk]

I enjoy the dailies but i do wish one daily had a 40 or 45 min race

[@matthiasgrunwald895]

I am very excited for the GT3 update. Lets hope it will push LMU further

[@DieterMaier-r6k]

Cant wait for GT3 pack!!!!

[@kolysion164]

it's just GTE nerfed.....

[@illyze]

About the Coop mode... its cool, i really like it... i just wish AI wasnt this terrible tho

[@wotgamerbg9468]

first one was the 296 and the second one was the C8

[@MrBlingclean]

More content and tracks is defo needed before the implementation of a subscription modthatdnce that is done I'll be happy paying for this instead of crappy iracing

[@tristanmartz3948]

A driver ranking based on a cumulative lap times,in a car class compared to our peers. Split 1 or split 7, a guy that can consistently put down lap times with the top drivers should be rated as such. I would have no problem being a silver or gold driver in daily races but a bronze driver in a championship form because of my lap times…I would know exactly which drivers I am competing against

[@RacingWithChuck27]

For people who are league racers or hosted, not official racer in rf2, LMU or iracing. I would be placed in lower tiers but my times and speeds would be higher, higher chance to win . It’s not a problem because it’s not something that happens often. If they (me ) raced more official than it would level out. Iracing went off just qualifying for the Indy 500 years ago which was good and bad. Bad being, they started up front but their long race race craft wasn’t great because they spent all their time in qualifying trim to make the top split

[@tristanmartz3948]

I’m more talking about how the FIA does it, I think a race shorter than 3 hours they take the average of the fastest 10 laps by each driver. Races 3 hours or longer they take 20 laps. Not really just how fast you are on qualifying runs, but over the course of an entire race

[@NWA_1919]

I think this game will sadly never gain enough popularity to really benefit from a subscription service. The problem is that people are very invested in to iracing, even if lmu was better in all aspects, no one will switch from iracing. Most only have time to drive one sim game after all. Few hours a week of wheel time, it's just not worth it to split it between multiple titles.. I would love to see lmu gain popularity and make the devs money, they have created a great sim, they deserve it. But i don't think a sub model will save this title. Hope i am wrong. For me, i prefer this over other sim titles at the moment

[@chillachriz27]

If further development is secured by a subscription model, I'm the last person to have a problem with it. They also have to pay their bills, even in the future. No sim is sold so often that you can rest on it for years.

[@jeffdobell4821]

This is all cool but what is the future of studio 397 wasn’t it a couple of months ago they were for sale ?

[@matthiasgrunwald895]

Lets hope they find an investor.

[@10mmGR]

All i want is some ffb detail at low speed corners. Until or even if they fix that i wont touch lmu.

[@FlagnarBoobz]

Do you mean the skaty feeling there is? Where you cant feel the tyres scrubbing?

[@10mmGR]

@FlagnarBoobz that's part of it but more like when you go through the final chicane at spa or t1 monza. Mostly in the prototypes there is next to no ffb. You can't tell what the car is doing. It's like there is no weight to the car.

[@FlagnarBoobz]

@@10mmGR I think I get what you mean. The feedback is alive and feels good, but you're right, it's like you can't feel the road at times.

[@NWA_1919]

This is an issue for me in the lmp2 car. But not really in the hypercars.

[@10mmGR]

@@NWA_1919 its all the prototypes for me. Its also low in the gte cars but at least there is something there i can work with.

[@MichiHoyer]

thanks mate !

[@BGR_33]

People bitch about paying 13 bucks a month for iRacing & it has a ton of content, constant development updates & etc. Yet they are okay with paying 15 dollars a month for LMU which is just a repackage of RF2 with 1/16th of the content! 😂 🤡

[@NWA_1919]

Most of the community is definitely not okay with paying subscription for lmu. People are pretty vocal about it, idk where you got this idea.

[@jackmakackov7077]

I like the game but the dlc in early access is absurd and the subscription model is the dumbest idea they could ever have. No one is going to pay monthly for a game with three classes and 8 tracks.

[@gasMVP]

@@jackmakackov7077 i will because the game is amazing

[@rickrolled7930]

They would happly add more content if they had what to add. You could count the wec races per season on your hand fingers and still have fingers left. This year we also only have 2 classes. There's just not that much content really. Wec drivers usually race in other series as well to not get bored. The idea with lmu is not to be something like iracing. This is a more casual from time to time sim.

[@arnaudontrack499]

As a daily driver, i'm very happy with new content. The game works almost flawlessly on my side so i don't have the feeling it's an early access.

[@L_Emir_de_Passy]

I'd happily pay more than that.

[@klaazasimrace]

"subscribtion to support them" lol NEVER.. why should i support a dev's that has a disaster past with their other games ?? and why should i support dev's that did NEVER fix RF2 and bring the exact same bug of RF2 into LMU ??? this would be the worst decision of my life if i do so !!
