[@myk6694]

AC is a car lovers sim, & there's nothing wrong with that

[@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

[@FreakCanal]

You are totally right, man.

[@TheDRDUCKY]

I’m terrible at setting up cars so I struggle with the sims that leave a lot of lap time in setting up your car

[@rxw5520]

Holy crap, I just googled that and yeah it is literally Italian for race trim/setup. You da real mvp.

[@FreakCanal]

@@TheDRDUCKY I am not bad at all

[@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.

[@jenscee7679]

That W12 on iracing is just amazingly natural to drive. The best formula car I’ve driven. It feels so balanced but hard to go really quick.

[@leventekis7664]

To be fair, it's not like anyone expected the RSS formula to be too close to the W12. There is bound to be a large difference between estimated data done through almost guesswork and real life data given to the developer by the actual F1 team.

[@TheLoucM]

Gamer Muscle goes around telling everybody how miles ahead the RSS is of the W12 on iracing... So there is him lol

[@TheLoucM]

@Balthazar FX Yes.

[@lordjaraxxus663]

True one is a free mod in a cheap game the other is an official car in an overpriced game. But having official data sent to you doesnt mean much because sims have been getting that for a decade now and still do a lot of sucky suck. So we cant really know which one is more real, only ppl who can tell are the ones who drove a real f1.

[@ArchOfficial]

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.

[@Brakjvr]

As usual, Ermin has an interesting way of shitting on AC.

[@panzerbead2977]

Lmao

[@BodieMoto]

I have found that content creators who generally think AC has the best force feedback, don't drive in real life. 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. Shocking ammount of sim racing creators literally don't own a car or a license and compare all their aim experience to the 1 track day they got invited to lol

[@whysoslow1999]

​@@BodieMoto what are those extra forces youre speaking of with AC? Because they dont exist, it's all tires and suspension unless you add those Road/Slip/ABS/Kerb effects which are just useless vibration anyway

[@Nymblys]

iRacing also had the McLaren you spoke of. A lot of fun to drive. This mercedes on iRacing is amazing. Easy to drive, extremely hard to master. Just when you nail a lap you look and youre still seconds off pace. Extracting every tenths out of that car is a challenge and its what is going to be so interesting in that series, the skill cap of the car.

Another great vid man! Since ive increased the side accel forces/g-forces in BeamNG to 200% (vanilla is a max of 20% but makes is way less tight and detailed especially when the wheel is centered) ive been longing for a well modeled F1 car so that i can compare it to these legends.

THIS.

[@Moonshine1147]

Not to mention, that even the REAL F1 DRIVERS complained that the OFFICIALLY LICENCED F1 GAME by Codemasters is far too difficult to drive and has a massive lack of grip, downforce and traction. (Norris was literally driving with assists turned on, for the newest F1 2021 game...)

[@lordjaraxxus663]

Shit take the only ppl who know about good physics are the ones who drove a real f1. Not you. Also how does your argument make sense when AC is the hardest one to drive. Wouldnt that make AC one beat the iRacing one which the guy in the video says its more intuitive?

[@antmax]

@@Moonshine1147 Russell mentioned in a video that he drives with ABS on for more realism.

Well with Merc providing 30,000 data channels...Anthony Davidson doing months of testing on the platform and engineers overlaying real data with sim to get within 1% ... This could be the start of real teams finally providing actual data that normally is well guarded ...enjoy folks

[@Moonshine1147]

Hopefully such dedication will be translated into other Formula 1 related games to improve drastically as well.

[@ArchOfficial]

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.

[@robertemerson2777]

They do that in real life

[@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” 🤔

He also leaves out the fact that if you cancel you Iracing subscription you lose the car, it’s 4X as expensive as the AC version.

[@no_lft_shft]

Great video

[@Artiick]

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

[@NoelFernandes]

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...

[@Robdgnl]

I don't get the hype about the RSS Hybrid, it's vague on the limit and numb in slow speed, even the RSS F2 car feels better. I much prefer the SF70H which is original content in AC and feels very much like the W12 in iRacing. Also the default settings in AC are just noise. Set ABS, kerb and road to 0 and increase slip effect to a level you enjoy and have at it.

[@Herendill]

What about raceroom?

[@jeffreyjolicoeur8218]

Does ACC not have f1 cars?

[@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.

[@ArchOfficial]

[@vova7040]

If you want to try wide range of >100 cars on numerous tracks, and also install mods, grab AC and pay once. There are online servers, but no rating systems. If you need iRacing online system, pay monthly rent and have 5 cars and 5 tracks, and pay for each additional car or track almost the same price that you would pay for AC on sale.

Tyre blankets off?

[@ryanelfani7329]

To conclude, F1 2021 by Codemasters wins the duel.

[@Sd-jx2rf]

AC looks good and feels better but the crash physics of iracing w12 looks good

[@mrbungle3310]

I love how modable is AC and its my most played...but yeah ive tried iracing and acc and they are quite more interesting

69k subs… NICE

Just to tell you the subscribe button is working ;)

[@grmnj]

I think rear aero on this RSS car is way lower than previous cars. You should try ones from 2017 they are on rails so I don't think it's really AC problem.

[@RacingAnt]

The reaction on the kerbs is an AC problem. Only mapping one contact point is the issue here. That's a fundamental, baked-in limitation of the game.

[@Ausa7xtin]

How do you feel about Competizione?

[@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.

[@adrianstealth340]

come on iracing, MAJOR FFB OVERHAUL , thanks for vid

[@m1ke535]

Try iRacing VR version.

WAIT?!?!! YOUR BACK?!?!?! =)=)=)=)=)

[@_hanz73]

So... Nordschleife lap when??

[@MrFWStoner]

The fact your hotlap in iRacing was only .7 seconds slower than the one of Hamilton means the car is way to forgiving and easy to drive. That shouldn’t happen

[@TheLoucM]

Why? I doubt he would be .7 sec slower in the real car having to deal with 5g of lateral forces..

[@pondracek]

Yeah, Ermin is at least 2 seconds/lap faster than Hamilton. Nerf the real world car, it's *clearly* too forgiving.

[@BradomAT]

i m not the best iracer^^, but i will buy the car, and try it this season. I tried the Formula IR, and it was horrible. But i hope its better with this car. Iracing brought some really cool cars like the Porsche LMP1 and the F1 McLaren. however, with all those cars teh problem was, that they are just to hard to drive and with Class A as limit for F1, hard to even reach for new players. With most of these cars the people that would be on my strenght level are gone after 2-3 races or after the first season. and in the 2nd season the field has often been less then 10 cars in races. I hope since there started lots of new players in iRacing the last years, it will be better with this car. lets hope :)

[@bmwM3M5M6]

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.

[@dvv7756]

is this assetto corsa or assetto corsa competizione?

[@spiralmoment]

acc is only boring gt3 cars, and a little less boring gt4´s.

[@juanpablohernandez8940]

Ermin: thanks for your video,,,! What do i need to do in order to drive it? Just pay the suscription to iracing and buynthe car? Or i need tu unlock some features or licenses in order to be able to drive it?

[@MrEDET]

Yes subscription and you need to buy the car, which you can always use offline. But for racing you need to have an A safetyrank so you will have to do races in other cars first to get that level. It's easy to get though - when you drive safe and without causing accidents you'll quickly get it. This whole system makes the online racing so much better in Iracing - people tend to be way more carefull to not lose their ranking.

[@MrEDET]

@@____________________ok That is what I said, a subscription is needed. You don't pay rent for the car, that is a one-time buy only.

6:22 yeah I would not say that

[@JoeBlowUK]

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.

[@scottmcqueen3964]

@@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

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
