If you set FOV to lowest setting then the ball bouncing option is enabled - I use it all the time, it's basically impossible to drive fast without it (IMO)

Yeh, likewise. New locations are my one and only chance to be top 10 on the time trials for while before I get pushed down to oblivion.

This would be v. nice too... https://jalopnik.com/the-alpine-a110-is-a-rally-car-once-more-1837907553

Also needs to respect FOV setting (on PC) as current dash cam does not...

Pretty sure they mean the 'AI' times are based on a range of real human drivers actually driving the stage in different conditions, with the results recorded (similar to time trial recordings) and fudged with maths and randomness to create 30 different times that represent any given stage. This is one of the reasons why the conditions available are not fully variable - they need recordings of stage times for each combination of conditions. Completely different from the AI in Rallycross where the computer is actually 'driving' - in which driving means sticking to ideal race line while avoiding other cars and applying physics constraints.

When it gives you the Quit to Main Menu option, you are safe to do so (and continue later) - You can ignore the meaningless 'All unsaved progress will be lost' message as 1) there is no ability to 'save' and 2) your progress is already saved automatically. Why they have that message I do not know...

No release notes yet on Steam for 1.5 - all previous releases had a 'news' item with details (posted by Christina)

Yes, external cams are one the assists that is turned off - I use head cam. You only have dash cam and head cam available with that assist off. I do have a custom camera.xml with more front/back range - so maybe that is detected?

If have everything OFF in assists (have done since before clubs launched) and it still says I have assists ON in the club filter - so who know what is classed as no assists?

I always hear that too...i'm like, i'm trying but I ain't no Ott, give me some slack

I actually prefer the the FFB in the TMX, but the TM is capable of stronger FFB if that's what you want.

I had both for a while - kept the TMX as the 458 wheel on the TX is not great for rally (and a better wheel is a lot more $). The TX FFB is also stronger than I need, the TMX FFB is nice and detailed without being over the top.

Another 5GB update from Steam (already had 1.4.1) - whatever that was? Started the game, lost my career 5 locations completed to a 'discrepency' reset. Thanks Codemasters, sometimes you do actually suck at what you do quite a lot 😞

No change for me from around 25-30 seconds on G4560 + SSD + 1060 6GB - i'm used that load time, gives me time to psyche into the drive. The loading is more CPU heavy that actual driving so the G4560 is fine for play - solid 60fps @ 2560x1440 on medium/high (+ low ground cover for optimum cutting 🙂
