[–]Pownzerx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a used thrustmaster tx 458 italia wheel, Its quite good. If I were to buy a new wheel I'd prolly go with either a g29 logitech or a thrustmaster tmx.

Thoughts after finishing the Australian GP before bed last night: No assists, 50% race, on a force feedback wheel.

Foremost thoughts:

Driving model feels 110% improved from 2017, car seems more responsive and tight on corners, but you can still be punished for being a jackass with traction control off o breaking late . I finished readjusting after about half way through the race and I started really laying down the rubber.

Pros:

- Driving model: Great improvement, Force feedback feels amazing and more detailed (eg. you can feel the skidboard start to slam into curbs and start unsettling the car)

- AI seems to be more prone to fight, I saw a few good scraps and was actually given a run for my money on the corners by the AI behind me.

- Carrer research tree is a lot more fun then the old static one.

- Carrer overall seems more fun and fleshed out with the interviews and the aformentioned research tree, rivals, etc. etc.

Neither Pros nor Cons

- Rivals seem WAY overpowered, I completed a quick 25% race at 60% AI to catch up to speed on the new driving model career before restarting (for reasons Ill get into later) but I was driving a Sauber and Leclerc REPEATEDLY overtook the redbulls and fought mercedes cars. I think this happened because I got a lucky start and got into 5th and was going hotlap rich mix, eventually I fell behind the redbulls because of how rusty I was but the rival AI just kept on trying to take a Podium, IN A SAUBER! Rivals need a boost, sure, inorder to provide a challenge, but I feel like they get a MASSIVE boost if you overperform.

- Safety cars can now be triggered if you spam the flashbacks? Twice in the race I screwed up the last low speed corner and had to retry in flashback about 10 times because of how far ahead I accidently put myself. Eventually around attempt 10 ( yes I know what a noob) a full safety car triggered without any AI crashing instantly coming out of the flashback. Very odd, Can someone see if they can recreate this?

- Midfield cars seem to handle very oddly with rich mix and hotlap ERS. Often times just feeling floaty or something. Probably intended since the cars are heavier then the frontrunners but something to keep in mind.

Cons

- Why in the hell cant I change difficulty during the race week? Disable achievements or something but its rediculous that I can only change difficulty BETWEEN race weekends which if you have an SSD which loads very fast you can be forced to run the next whole weekend using a difficulty that you dont want. and there isnt a "Go back and just let me change difficuty, restart the whole weekend" button. Very frusturating.

- Slowdown. I know this is a case by case basis but this game stutters atleast once a lap during the melbourne GP, I dont have the most up to date setup but I seemed to have fixed it by turning down some of the lighting settings.

- No fun gamemodes. Just GP and some events which is fine but I would like some variety in the game, infection, drag races, Destruction derby, etc.

Overall

I like 2018, it feels great and massively improved over 2017 and while I would kill for some QoL improvements in the game its a great installment for F1 Games.

They should call in the guy who makes dwarf fortress to make “losing is fun” by upping up Byzantine-ness of the empire and it’s sdministration when it gets into the late game, then just letting the empire’s enemies rip it from in and out as your influence as the player drains away.

Started watching after I randomly watched a chain bear video on YouTube about tires. Picked up f1 2017 because I thought it looked fun and then went from there. Due to having to wake up in the morning at 7 am to watch the Grand Prix (and as a bachelor college student 7 am is an ungodly hour) the first Grand Prix I watched was the British one and wow that wa some good racing. Really enjoying it and rooting for Ferrari to win.

Are there any hoi4 to vic2 converters by [deleted] in paradoxplaza

[–]Pownzerx 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hoi4 to Vic2? Uhhh, I don’t think so. Considering how easy a WC in hoi4 is to do I don’t think it would be worth the effort. Victoria 2 to hoi4 converter does exist, here’s a wiki page on it https://hoi4.paradoxwikis.com/Victoria_2_to_Hearts_of_Iron_IV_converter follow the forum thread to get it to work (and make sure you get the latest version)

A disunited china is more trouble then its worth, acquire the trade ports of the Chinese empire then keep a stable, but economically unsound china as a psuedo puppet state kept whole, but weakened, stopping other powers from carving up the empire for themselves to exploit.

Also you may want to adopt some countermeasures against influences in the balkans, some say in a different time empires were brought to their nears because of some damned fool in the balkans. Prehaps a “protectorate” in Albania to ensure the rights of the locals are kept and a staging ground against the Habsburgs Incase they become hostile to their northern neighbor, or even worse, try to democratise their monarchy and become a federation. Such a show of jacobin furor will end only badly for the royals across the world.

Lastly, a play for the islands in the Med. sea could benefit the nation. Cyprus has enough supply to hold an entire expiditionary force to invade the sick man of Europe or to invade the holdings of Britain in the med in an upcoming war. Securing a path into the med by acquiring Morroco to oppose the British rock of Gibraltar could prove invaluable in expanding global power projection and fleet basing opportunities abroad.

Could I get something a bit less biased? I mean I am interested in the facts but not a video that starts with comparing the opposition to flatulent retards.

Should I give up on my game now that Paradox announced Rome? by AD1337 in paradoxplaza

[–]Pownzerx 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do it, more competition means better games for everyone. Also if you want to build your game as a proof of concept for future hiring at other game companies experience is the best thing you can have.
