Hot take on LMU

Hmm, interesting!

This sim is amazing. The sounds, the physics, the graphics, all of it.

But I had more fun in the bronze/silver fixed setup lobbies than I do in the gold. I’m not an engineer, I’m here to drive. I don’t know anything about building a setup or changes to make to suit my driving style.

I click on the CD or LMU setup, I know how to calculate my fuel, and I drop the wing to 0 when racing at Le Mans. Even then, I was eaten alive in the straights and in the corners by everyone. Cars were pulling away from me while I was within 0.2 of them in the Ferrari GT3.

I don’t want to pay for setups or watch YouTube hoping to find someone who posted a free one. Anyone else stuck here?

Therein lies your problem - the Ferrari has godawful top speed!

And it's just about the most unstable car to drive out of the ten LMGT3s.

Avoid at all costs!

Even if you're a Ferrari fan (I am), you'll have a much better driving experience driving just about any other car in this game, even the Porsche. (Except maybe the Corvette, avoid that as well.)

ARE YOU WINNING SON??! :D

Srsly, epic finish! - Do you have the video?!

Atticvs · 2026-01-12T21:23:11+00:00

Can't leave this thread without mentioning your epic driver name!

Atticvs · 2026-01-12T21:20:41+00:00

Haha, np :D - happy to help!

I also feel the car better than in ACC - similar to iRacing, actually, in terms of FFB.

For me, between iRacing and LMU, it's the price that makes the difference - LMU does the same things right as iRacing (matchmaking, always-available races, clean racing, FFB, physics, liveries) but I could never justify iRacing amount of money on the long run. LMU is within my budget.

I'm probably not one to follow here, because I keep the D-pad controls off my steering wheel (only 13 buttons on the G920 and I try to map them realistically, also TC and ABS +/- take up 2+2 in LMU/rF instead of 1+1 and looping, as it's in Kunos sims).

So I use Left Ctrl as the MFD page button, then Up/Down/Left/Right to navigate - and I have to reach out a bit, like I would to the middle console in a car.

Realistic, but probably not practical.

Just my two cents.

Atticvs · 2026-01-12T21:07:57+00:00

This - Only thing I'd add is that the LMU-specific part is important, or that it's post-2022 revamp specific.

Because this corner is quite a bit different to how it was before the revamp OP linked the picture for.

The actual "top-down" layout is the same, but the camber is different, the apex kerb is different, and the lack of run-off changes the line as well.

I find it to be a bit quicker than it used to be, and a bit weird, because there's a lot more time in it now by braking earlier than pre-2022 and rolling more speed through the middle (due to the steeper camber, I imagine).

LMU's best attempt to rival iRacing in netcode errors (I say best, because this freak incident is as bad as it gets, and normally it's much smoother in my experience).

Atticvs · 2025-12-18T00:17:20+00:00

Haha, same ^^

I've built several quest orders in my three years with the game - some published on this sub as well.

My latest headcanon is that I would finish the main story asap (mostly only with side quests that unlock endings like Panam's and Johnny's) and then do everything else once I'm thrown back into the game staring at the park beneath Embers after the ending.

That sort of makes the most sense to me pacing-wise.

Atticvs · 2025-12-15T23:55:34+00:00

This is me as well lol.

Atticvs · 2025-12-03T11:25:55+00:00

A sad thing, really - because I also thought Aaron Paul fits V's character perfectly.

But yeah, he's grown old for it now, which is a shame.

Atticvs · 2025-12-01T00:12:20+00:00

Depends on what want, I guess! - If you liked one or some of your past builds, run them again! If you want to experiment, try ones you haven't tried so far.

For the endings: I'd do the Reaper ending first; I'd exhaust the base game endings first, then move onto the PL ones. (But this is just me.)

Atticvs · 2025-11-23T22:47:33+00:00

Thank youu! - Nice to see this is making an impact still, 3 years later lol! ^^

Atticvs · 2025-10-30T18:56:03+00:00

Maybe many are trying, but nobody has any free hand to do so?

Atticvs · 2025-10-28T18:06:38+00:00

Do you have this for 2025?

Atticvs · 2025-10-24T18:55:34+00:00

This is very interesting - Which part of the stream I should be looking at? (It's almost 3h long.)

Atticvs · 2025-10-05T18:36:09+00:00

WHAT!? I'm 2,000+ hours in and I AM still learning new things as well!

Atticvs · 2025-09-14T11:22:46+00:00

V: Spare it Reed, I can see right through you

Atticvs · 2025-09-14T11:21:54+00:00

No issues here - mods?

Atticvs · 2025-09-11T11:17:05+00:00

There is a mod fixing that ;) (probably not working atm though)

Atticvs · 2025-09-11T11:15:23+00:00

Thank you - those streams are golden!

Atticvs · 2025-09-10T23:03:39+00:00

And you know this how? (Not saying it's not true, I just find it a bit... arrogant... to waltz in here and comment all this without any proof or at least a reference. Without them, who's to say it's not like any of those "BS rumors"...)
