  1. We've had a good night for the random players that have joined us, a rank 1 who wasn't an idiot, and a rank 288 who was just spot on :) If it hadn't have been for dodgy servers it'd have been a good night dude!

    If you'd been playing at the time you'd have gotten an invite dude :p Both Dan and I said it would have been better with the 3 of us.
    I was on when you were playing bud, unless you weren't playing online at that point. Been waiting to play online with you guys for a few days now ;) Anyway I look forward to golf cart racing soon. :joy: 
    Yea I was on single player when you were on dude, it was like 10:30 when Dan messaged asking if I wanted to play online, and once I'd gotten on I had a look for you and couldn't see you online.

  3. Aha, so this is where I was tagged :p Yea, as you've found out @RallyDriven your CPU and Intel HD 4000 is enough to play it, not at highest settings or anything, but as long as you're happy with the graphics and FPS you're getting then that's what counts :) 

  4. Yea, we need some people from here to get it and join us!

    I don't think you'll regret getting it, CM has done a pretty special job on Dirt Rally, it's probably the most impressive game they've made in quite a time!
    Yes the last being DiRT 2 :)
    The last ones for me were Dirt and F1 2010 (nostalgia reasons for 2010 :p). By Dirt 2 the annoying gimmicks had started creeping in.

  5. Not sure why this is in Off Topic now, but figure I might as well have my say :p 

    I'm not really a fan of DRS at all. At least not in real F1 anyway. In the games it's kinda entertaining to use, but in actual F1 I just don't like how it makes it so easy for one car to just breeze right past another. It might have made some small amount of sense when it was introduced as the cars and lap times were closer and the field was tighter. But with the differences in engine performance we have at the moment I'm not so sure DRS is really needed at this stage.

    And if it is, I'd like to see the flap opening reduced. So lets say the flap opens 100% atm, I'd like to see it down to 50% so that the speed differential isn't so big. Plus doing that doesn't change the rules of it's use in a confusing way while still making it a bit less effective.

  6. It'll probably be a while before I get a chance to try it with my wheel bud. So far I've only tried 2 stages but both were about 3/4 minutes in length, but I spent a lot more time than that from having to restart a lot lol. There's no flashback in this, feels a bit like a modern Colin McRea Rally only more difficult. The stages may be longer in career but I haven't tried that yet.

    Just a few niggles so far, if you're at high speed and have to brake hard for an upcoming hairpin it feels like the brakes aren't really working, but at medium and low speeds they're almost a bit too good. And if you make a mistake and go off or end up backwards just drive out yourself, you get a 13/14/15 second penalty any time you reset your car. Way too much imo, 5 seconds would have been better if there has to be a penalty for it. 

    They are just niggles though, and they do have an upside. I'm making less mistakes and improving because I know I'll pretty much have to restart the stage if I do :p
