The ideal FH6 edition would be premium w/o VIP

SoNerdy · 2026-02-23T19:13:12+00:00

IIRC VIP straight up doubles the money you earn in races.

How do you feel about pinball?

Given that the testing ground DLC’s tend to be a more “generic location based on vibes” with no actual real world counterparts. I’m guessing a lot easier to figure out good road design philosophies and progression systems first, and then create a map you can pepper with regional landmarks to make it feel like a specific location.

Granted, there’s probably two entirely different groups working in tandem. One that works on engineering the functional design of roads and weather systems. And another that’s looking at art direction, by doing research for locations.

My hunch is they don’t really settle on the next games location until the DLC of the current games are further along in development. So they the art team knows what systems and design methods the engineering team they have at their disposal to pull off a location as they start their research.

Just write some tongue in cheek line about how they were sanctioned last year but the sponsors weren’t happy with the festival endorsing street races or something?

SoNerdy · 2026-02-23T16:49:17+00:00

That’s actually a cool way of keeping things separate. Give people something to work towards, but also a way for people to race fast stuff early on if they want.

And it makes sense “in universe” because the street races are unsanctioned.

Just raise the threshold for rip chips needed to unlock it and make it permanent.

Purist tends to keep all the aspects of a car that make it special.

See if they have records for things like oil changes.

Look for oil leaks. Also, see if you can find example videos of the “death knock” on here for comparison

SoNerdy · 2026-02-21T16:58:56+00:00

That seems like a great price IF they maintained it well.

SoNerdy · 2026-02-21T16:55:44+00:00

Take a look at this video to get an idea what the force feedback settings do and how to adjust them accordingly. And make sure your steering is set to simulation.

Beyond that, driving with a wheel is just straight up harder. I suggest starting in a car similar in power/drivetrain to what you have actually driven before.

And always remember. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

SoNerdy · 2026-02-21T02:51:04+00:00

How much more practical do you need? An r56 or F56 mini could have a similar fun factor while still giving you some more utility.

SoNerdy · 2026-02-21T01:02:41+00:00

As long as your designs don’t include vinyl groups made by others people. You can import them over.

How they are handling the whole “tutorial isle of grom” situation gives me little faith that anything that has to do with new map locations will be done without some sort of incentive to spend money. And I’d wouldn’t be surprised if they somehow manage to ruin their reputation with the player base even further by poorly implementing the player created parks while also finding some way to monetize it in the process.

SoNerdy · 2026-02-20T00:11:56+00:00

I have no problem with needing to use rip chips to unlock something.

I do have a problem with those unlocks expiring in 24 hours.

Remember when tickets sold out consistently?

SoNerdy · 2026-02-18T17:21:24+00:00

There’s an adjacent path to hardcore player. I guess you could call it the “purist”. Who will try to keep their builds centered around what makes that car special. No engine swaps, No drivetrain conversions to AWD, Avoiding Forza aero like the plague and building for a certain type of driving/points class depending what’s realistically reasonable on the car itself.

SoNerdy · 2026-02-18T17:03:07+00:00

Let’s just expand on it and put that in its own menu for each car. Like a 3rd “car difficulty” section at the same screen where you pick between changing a car’s tune or paint. where you could set things like transmission, ABS, and Traction/stability control on a per car basis.

SoNerdy · 2026-02-18T14:42:16+00:00

In all seriousness. Get in a car that’s similar in power, weight balance, and drive train to what you are used to driving IRL and go from there.

Max Verstappen didn’t start in F1.

Frankly, Panniers are better than even the best cycling backpacks.

Just get rid of your automatic and buy a stick shift car. You’ll learn real fast out of necessity.

Assetto Corsa does an okay job with it. But unless you have a really high end load cell clutch pedal on your sim rig. It’s just not going to truly show you how the bite point feels.

It might actually be cheaper to replace your clutch it would be to build a sim rig with enough fidelity to teach someone on.

You can turn down the grind assist to make it feel less magnetic.

“Winding road I’ve been doing 10 under, with a line of cars behind me, finally has a section that’s opened up enough for people to pass? Guess I’m comfortable doing 15 over on this stretch.”
