In RSS defense, it does take a lot of setting up to get the car to behave better in the RedBull Ring, after which the driving looks way more like real F1 videos. I feel RSS default set-ups really need to be ajusted to track needs.

[@isuckatthisgame]

you have to take into account that assetto corsa puts a huge emphasis on setups. it's literally italian term for "race setup" the difference between a well set car and a stock one is immeasurable in ac. you will never come anything close to top times (and even have a feel for the car) if you don't customize settings in ac, and to be honest, f1 car cannot be driven on its sheer limits without changes on it being made. that's how it works in real life, so ac's comprehensive setup options definitely win that aspect

[@xBaphometHx]

I am not very knowledgeable about how to set-up the cars in Assetto Corsa, but when I jump into an F1, the first thing I do to have a more "real" feel is to lower the front wing downforce and making the downforce higher in the rear wing. That way the car won't oversteer that much and it will not overheat the tyres that easily.

It's not like iR's W12 is accurate either way. F1 teams themselves very likely don't have enough time to properly correlate their sim tires, and you can visibly see the roll stiffness is off on the iR car, so I would not completely buy into the hype. Better than RSS, sure, likely. RSS has never made particularly accurate open wheel cars.

Their minds can't fill the gaps that not having g forces leaves, but if you drive everyday in real life, you're already mentally calibrated to adjust to g forces even if you don't feel them. they really need those extra forces just to receive the information that's already incredibly obvious to a person who drives, every single day.

They're probably just looking at average lateral G in sustained cornering to get that %. The dynamic roll stiffness is probably 50%+ off for one and it's easy to see the transient is off in entry, so if you do a real analysis of the car you'll start running into large discrepancies I think. Manufacturer sims don't get as close as everyone is making it sound like iR got, and iR has a lot more fundamental issues with modeling than those.

[@drorzy_0485]

Ok so now go back and watch some real F1 races from this year and see how many times the real drivers in the real world actually brake on the curbs and sometimes even kick up dust from hitting the grass. IMO this has been the biggest problem with sims and in particular F1 cars in sims and Codemasters. They over do the difficulty of the way the car drives because they are “supposed” to be the hardest cars cars to drive which they are but only if you are pushing them to the absolute limit. Not everytime you drop a wheel on the grass or heaven forbid touch a curb. The problem with plebs online and especially people who don’t even have iRacing saying that it isn’t or looks unrealistic is that Mercedes themselves and James Vowels (Technical race director of AMG F1 Merc) has been working closely with iRacing over the last 12mths to make this the closest representation possible of the real world car. So I think it’s a pretty big call to say that Janes Vowels and Merc have screwed this up and don’t have any idea of “how it really should be” 🤔

the steering gets hard at highspeeds following the downforce increasement. The massive 3000kg of downforce and the agressive suspension geometry (toe, camber) and the massive grip makes the steering wheel much heavier. In normal cars, as fast as you are, as much the steering wheel gets lighter, in formula cars it happens, until the downforce kicks...

[@Cavi587]

Good comparison. But let's be honest, it's still pretty impressive that there's even a comparison to begin with. RSS are modders while the iracing W12 was made with Mercedes F1 team themselves helping the iracing team.

[@Ermz]

[@eeeman2653]

Just casually watching this in the school toilets...

[@Ermz]

[@fullsendsimracing]

There are a few points that need to be made here: 1) the RSS car is a creation of a modding company with the intention not to make it identical but as a platform that resembles this year's cars. 2) iRacing worked internally with Mercedes with their data to create this car, so it's many many times more detailed and precisely fine tuned. Then, there's another key point to be made. Already, drivers are matching Hamilton's qualifying times on iRacing, which is a dead giveaway that this car is made to be approachable by sim racers with as broad skill range as possible. That by default means it's easier to drive, the aero is more prominent and the corrections in throttle/steering on curbs and bumps tend to be less extreme. So in summary, both aren't that "close" to being realistic, while the W12 is tailor made by MB, I don't see why the RSS with a proper setup wouldn't be able to match the iRacing experience (obviously the tire model is a limiting factor, while I find the FFB on the RSS quite detailed imo)

[@yaniel87]

Having, like all of us, never driven an F1 car, I can’t comment on the realism. The fact that sim racers are matching Hamilton’s time doesn’t mean it’s not realistic. By this point, it’s safe to assume that some sim racers have turned more laps in this car than Hamilton ever will. They probably have more laps on a given track than Hamilton ever will. But most importantly, they can push harder and harder each lap with the fear of dying. In identical conditions, the sim should be faster because it removes the very real fear of dying.

[@vermilionlevel]

Sim racers don't have to deal with G forces or the risk of dying, of course they can get close to or match Hamilton's lap times. I personally cant, and I've been sim racing for years.

[@Fanatic102nd]

Simracing laps can be run at completely different weather and track conditions. Comparing the lap times with different conditions doesnt make any sense.

Basically makes anything he says about comparing the two sims void and makes the entire point of the mute. AC was not going to get a fair opportunity.

Agreed most of the haters of iracing don't like the pay structure so for them it's easier and cheaper to hate it than to pay for it. I could never justify the expense but what I've found And this is the thing most don't understand is that the subscription cost funds the development of the game as they can keep staff to progress the game and they stay long term rather than other developers only having a budget to keep development until a game is released. People think iracing is an old game and yes it was first released years ago but the reality is iracing has a new build generally with significant changes 4 times a year. I am happy to invest in a game rather than buying multiple titles that after a year or so they end up on a shelf and you buy the newer version.

[@xKeoto]

@@EddieOtool main thing that helped was because of the collaboration with Mercedes, they didn’t just help them build the w12, they also helped iRacing improve their tire physics and other things before they even got to making the w12.

[@angryginger791]

I agree. It's hard to explain in words, but the other sims just don't feel as connected. They don't have the same sense of speed. The cars don't feel like they have mass producing friction between the tires and the track surface. The limit is learned rather than felt. I'm sure I'm biased, but the longer I drive in iRacing, the more I find flaws in other sims. I have to disagree with Ermin about the graphics too. I think AC, in this case, looks like a game. It's over saturated and too bright. That might just be me though.

IR over AC for ffb? Hard disagree. Seems like you might need to tune your settings more. AC has so much more detail. Honestly it’s not even close for me. The newest iRacing update has helped but it’s still not as good overall. I never spin in AC and race online all the time. The FFB makes it so easy. iRacing has always been more vague and lifeless, it’s literally the primary reputation it has. Also why people mod the FFB in iRacing with irFFB. Not many people modding AC for FFB ;) Both are great and do things good/bad, but no way does Assetto lose to iRacing in terms of FFB and vehicle dynamics. Now excuse me while I go download that Merc and try it out!

[@nunopinheiro75]

Agree, i can't race without irFFB anymore

[@damiendegrasse]

AC has FFB tweaks in CSP to make it better especially for DD wheels where it is quite rubbery and lifeless.

[@jenscee7679]

I race iracing but with irffb all the time. Default is terrible and you can spin when not feeling the car go. With irffb I can balance the car on the brake and throttle and hardly ever spin.

[@Alex_zer0_Shoveller]

are you running a 20nm+ direct drive wheel set up correctly? if not i dont think you can criticise ffb of either game cause that’s on your end

[@nunopinheiro75]

@@Alex_zer0_Shoveller But it shouldn't be on our end, every other sim has great FF with ALL wheels, so why not iRacing?

[@CaptainC6969]

Thanks for the comparison. Curious about your thoughts on F1 in Automobilista 2 vs iRacing!

The great thing is, that the partnership between iRacing and Mercedes is still going. They have confirmed that we will get the 2022 Mercedes soon

I would have preferred to see it driven in proper sim mode, ie in the cockpit view, as the review is about simulation.

[@worldofradiocontrol10]

I assume it was and this was just the replay. iRacing doesn't support other driving views.

@@worldofradiocontrol10 iRacing actually supports any driving view you want in a test drive. Its only locked to cockpit in the official races (and locked by default when hosting a lobby). Just an fyi haha

[@FG_SIMRACING]

The INFINITE discussion which sims are the most realistic…. In my eyes none because I never experience ENGINE FAILURE and like we all know by now: DAMAGING MODEL. If that never will be simulated then no any sim is realistic. BUT I like simracing for the fun part and that I don’t have a real sportscar. If I had a real sportscar, I would leave simracing totally.

[@Artiick]

"A little closer to game... Than Simulator" You fashó sugar coated it

[@KristianLyubenovYT]

i think it's pretty obvious which version is better. question is, do you wanna buy a mod that costs more than the game does on sale, or iracing's insane price model

[@mcalbols]

You can have a A license in road in a week just stay in the back and don't wreck at all cost don't race anybody. if you do 5 Ox races in each level you will have it fast. you only need 4.0 to go to the next level and when you start that next level you have 3.5 so about 5 races and you will get the O.5 to move up

[@burblingbarbacoa4944]

I find you gotta turn down the steering assistance in the RSS Formula Hybrid cars to get good feeling at low speeds.

I read somewhere that the same level of commitment, to give us a "ultra-realistic" F1 car model, will also be done for the F1 2022 Mercedes F1 car in iRacing next year. Hopefully some other developing studios take note and try their best as well.

[@MAINFRAMELaboratories]

Not trying to be rude or anything, but a 1:08.6 is a pretty poor lap especially when trying to compare what the cars are capable of. A lot of the reason the Formula Hybrid felt so bad probably boils down user error.

[@adrianquinonessancibrian7279]

Hi, in my case i can't even complete 3 laps in f1 2019 without crashing, whereas in asseto i am capable of doing an entire race why is the cause of this?

[@_hanz73]

So... Nordschleife lap when??

[@ArturoDrives]

Not tryna be that guy but the hotlap in iracing would mean nothing to f1 in terms of realism. You cut the track like 7 times dude. Times would get deleted also the way you complain about the snapping on the curb, blaming it on the car model, watch any spin of an f1 car or even just some onboards of real life. You will notice that if you accelerate off the curb too much it unbalances the car and it snaps, the same thing with if you run over a curb too hard. it unsettles the car and it snaps or you spin, its not the fault of the car its a driver error. And when you mention the dozens of failed attempts, thats just because of mistakes not being corrected,

[@husk6667]

tbh for normall people iRacing might be to their liking but the fact is, just like in IRL, not anyone can just go into a F1 car. so i think the AC one is better for the actual F1 drivers since a real F1 car has very little throttle travel and revs up insanely fast which might of bin the reason you lost control so easily.

[@fragged09]
