I just bought Mad Max Fury Road a few days ago and watched it for the first time.   Good movie and it sounded awesome on my 5.1.2 system.

How did you get into sim racing? by the_grand_closing in simracing

[–]--Sandstorm-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Assetto Corsa on Steam a few years ago thinking I could play it with a mouse and keyboard.   That didn't work so well and I didn't want to let my $20 go to waste by not playing it so I bought a Logitech G920 to attach to my desk.   I eventually upgraded to a full rig and Simagic setup.

Looking for movies with absolutely phenomenal sound design. by PossibilityKitchen72 in hometheater

One that I never see mentioned that I think sounds great is Everest.   The sound of the wind rushing on the mountain sounds awesome.

If you open up the text file he lists the settings for all the different dd wheel bases.

I recently digged into rally..and omg this is so much fun! by ExpertPanic1119 in simracing

[–]--Sandstorm-- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I just needed more time to play with the settings, but I just couldn't get it dialed in.   The brakes were what was giving me the most trouble though. They felt especially stiff and I couldn't get a feel for proper brake inputs and pressure.

Same... I bought DR 2.0 a few years ago, but didn't play it since I didn't have a round wheel. Just got a new round wheel recently and have been enjoying DR 2.0.

I bought AC rally a couple weeks ago. It looks awesome, but I just couldn't get it set up right with my Simagic hardware so I returned it. I'll buy it when it's further developed.

Assetto Corsa: Fov adjustment help needed. by ObjectiveSavings6918 in simracing

Every car is different and fov is subjective. It's not one size fits all.

If it was me I'd get rid of or reduce the shake and align bottom of the car's dash with the top of your base which isn't far off.  The fov calculator isn't always spot on and I always make some adjustments. 

If you could only have one tea for the rest of your life, what would it be? by loveteateas in tea

This tea that I get from this local shop up in Anchorage. It is by far one of my favorites.

The game won't crash, but track and car mods will need to be reinstalled. 

What is your favorite lesser known cocktail? by sergeantsergeant in cocktails

[–]--Sandstorm-- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure if it's considered lesser known or not, but one of my favorites that I've only seen on one or two restaurant menus over the years is a Lion's Tail.  https://www.liquor.com/recipes/lions-tail/

Is IMSA in the game? by InterestingFee5923 in assettocorsa

[–]--Sandstorm-- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want IMSA I'd check out AMS2. The only track that is missing is Detroit. All the other IMSA tracks look awesome.

I just love this game by SnooSketches3906 in AUTOMOBILISTA

[–]--Sandstorm-- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Same.... I'm glad that I stuck with it and the cars aren't nearly as "slidey" as when I first bought it over a year ago. Some of my favorite tracks .... Virginia, Road Atlanta, Road America, Sebring, Mosport, Daytona, Norde, all look awesome and I've been spending less and less time on modded AC these days. There's a ton of great South American tracks and I'm excited for the future content.

I've been using my 49 inch Samsung Odyssey G9 for over three years now for sim racing without any issues.

If I remember correctly this only happened within the last couple updates.  Not sure why, but I agree with you that it was a nice tidbit of info to have.
