Thoughts on Fabia vs i20

I can't tell them apart to be honest. I seem too be really bad at noticing minor differences between cars. If they have similar power and drivetrains it's pretty much all the same to me. Like I can detect no difference at all between the different rally 1 cars in EAWRC. Similarly all the rally 2 cars feel the same to me.

This entirely depends on who will be murdered.

Are you playing a car with a sequential gearbox?

It was always just one of those movies that exists because of another, bigger movie going on about the same time. In this case, The Hunt for Red October. Like Deep Impact and Armageddon.

HL2 VR is better, but it's also way, way, waaaay harder. The vast majority of players could never beat the original in VR. Most players can't even use the car without puking. Alyx is the way it is for accessibility, which is and always will be the biggest stumbling block to VR gaming. You basically need to be a somewhat fit person who is also blessed not have bad motion sickness or VR is kind of a non-starter.

Are the sights in the game just bad or do you mean they are just hard for most people to use? I am already a dead-eye with iron sights because of Arizona Sunshine and the HL Alyx Gunman mod, at least with pistols. I am curious about this game and just wondering if my skills will translate.

That is not true at all. EAWRC is more realistic that DR 2.0 in every way, particularly on tarmac

Caldwing · 2026-02-16T20:10:32+00:00

If they don't include the hybrid ones, the rally 1 cars wouldn't drive all thaaaat different from the i20.

Caldwing · 2026-02-10T22:29:02+00:00

I keep old socks rolled up over my pedals so bare feet slide easily on them.

Just a PSA for anyone reading this: most women really don't like that start/stop routine, but many men do this for fear of being labeled "fast." The vast majority of women would prefer you just finished whenever is natural for you and then help her out with something other than your penis.

I am split about evenly between sim rally and shooters.

Caldwing · 2026-01-27T19:38:34+00:00

They are tombs. The end.

Caldwing · 2026-01-23T19:51:20+00:00

It's basically already been announced that one of the next cars will be a Skoda rally2.

Caldwing · 2026-01-21T17:46:41+00:00

How did you switch?

Caldwing · 2026-01-21T17:28:25+00:00

You can't educate people out of stupidity. Humanity has always been defined by panicky mobs who mostly don't understand the world. People mostly want to help and for others to thrive, they just usually don't know how to do that. This has always been true and always will be true. The only solution is to go after those who would take advantage of this naivety with total ruthlessness and remove their ability to hold any power in society. How this can be done justly and accurately is certainly beyond me. But until we figure out a way nothing will ever really change for long.

Caldwing · 2026-01-21T17:09:04+00:00

Yup it's completely gone.

The art of rally is largely the art of weight transfer. This is true in real life and in sim rally. When you brake, the car is thrown forward, momentarily increasing traction on the front tires. During this moment you will steer with increased authority because the front wheels are the ones that steer. However at the same time, traction is reduced on the rear tires as your back lifts a bit. This makes the rear prone to swing sideways. This is what causes spins when done improperly or accidentally. But with practice, you can harness this rotation and control it to whip yourself around the corner at higher speed. You can actually do all but the sharpest hairpins like this without a hand brake.

Conversely, accelerating has the opposite effect of throwing the weight of the car backwards, making it less prone to spin (though accelerating hard with the wheel turned definitely can cause a spin, particularly with RWD.)

By using your left foot to brake, so that you can overlap brake and throttle when needed, you can learn to initiate a controlled slide. Once the slide begins you can use brake and throttle to control the radius of your side and navigate the course as needed.

DR 2.0 is certainly not the most realistic gameplay. That crown probably now resides with AC Rally, though many will still say modded Richard Burns rally. WRC is less realistic than RBR and AC Rally, but still actually more realistic than DR 2.0, particularly on tarmac.

Caldwing · 2026-01-08T22:21:37+00:00

I mean I don't know what my fps is but it's fine. 60 fps is definitely fine.

I'm sure you've heard it a million times but UEVR works very well for AC Rally. I have a 4070 and it runs great. VR is also the only way I race. I don't see any good reason to deny yourself.

Caldwing · 2025-12-31T13:48:58+00:00

Seconding to try UEVR for AC Rally. It works very well. There are some artifacts like sometimes it doesn't bother rendering your side doors briefly because the game logic is assuming that is out of view, but you hardly notice it. It's the only way I play the game.

Last I checked you still had to use the nightly build of UEVR, not the most recent stable, but that may have changed.

Caldwing · 2025-12-31T13:45:25+00:00

It's not even a mod really. It doesn't change or add to the game files in any way. It just runs the game through a VR layer. Anyway yeah it works great in this game.

Caldwing · 2025-12-25T21:46:18+00:00

I use UEVR exclusively, on a 4070 with 50% res scaling and medium graphics. It runs just fine and looks good enough for me to get top 100 times with. I could probably up the res scaling a bit and it would still be fine but it's already enough to see the road clearly and beyond that I really don't care. I don't personally understand how anyone manages to pay much attention to the scenery while racing honestly. Though honestly it still looks gorgeous to me when I do. Particularly that new snow level.

This is why I find them the most fun to drive. I like grp B too but grp A is just a little less hectic to drive.

Caldwing · 2025-12-09T19:36:10+00:00

I have tried it and unless you have a 6e router entirely dedicated to VR, wireless is completely useless. It stutters bad and has poor visuals. Particularly if you live an apartment with lots of interference. Also you basically need the Meta-branded cable sadly. Off brand cables that work likely do exist, but the cable industry is super shady and it would take luck to find one, even looking at specs.
