    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    My thoughts exactly! So pleased to see the Porsche in those colours, I thought the multi-colour livery (from the early shots) was going to be the "real" livery for that car. The Wurth livery isn't that great, but at least it is a genuine scheme for the 037. And I fully agree with the comments concerning the Focus. Would be amazing if they could do something similar with the Martini livery!

    It doesn't feel as lethal as before, but I broke my previous stage times on the first run with it.

    I would rather just have a plain white car with the number in the rear window. I am still glad the plain liveries have been added though, they are my first choice for a number of cars now.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Yeah, 100% agree with this: I think several of the liveries would be vastly improved by this little tweak. Just tried the latest arrivals out. The 037 seems way more predictable than before: and an absolute missile on tarmac!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Looking forward to the 911 and 037 but - sorry in advance for the negativity - is anyone keen on any of the garish Deluxe liveries thus far? Would rather see one or two "real" liveries (or at least realistic looking liveries) in place of those that have been added. The Jon Armstrong Fiesta R5 livery is the only extra one I have really liked so far.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Yeah, this is the period that many of us having been harping on about for years, so the DLC is sure to sell well. The quattro trophy ("Fire Up That Car... Again") was bugged at release @JorritVD which might account for why the completion for that is low. "Adaptable" is still bugged as well, so the completion figure for that is minute as well.

    Only on the PC though: it still sounds the same on PS4!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Right, I just checked and I can confirm that the S14 Impreza sound is unchanged on the PS4. Is this something that should have changed in all versions with v1.5 @PJTierney?
  9. It was thickness of material, rather than mounting. The regulations say that the maximum material thickness is 1.5mm, the GCK bumper was made from material that was 1.96mm.

    I'll double check later, but I am 99% certain it was still doing it earlier. I must admit I didn't look at the patch notes for 1.5, was the Impreza audio mentioned in there?

    I tried the S14 this afternoon: it's not fixed.

    I suspect GRiDy Gossip rather than DiRTy Gossip, but Codemasters recording another car:
  13. tbtstt

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    The audio was recorded from a real S14 @F2CMaDMaXX, but the turbo noise currently occurs at the wrong time in DR2.0. At the moment you get compressor stall ("chatter") from the turbo far too frequently. The real S14 doesn't do that. Pretty sure that the CM audio gurus are aware of the error though and are going to address it.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    The Impreza that was being recorded would be a brand new addition to the game, the roadbook suggests that it is a car already in the game that is getting a tweak. The S14 Impreza will hopefully be getting an audio tweak, as it's not right at the moment.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    "As a quick tease, there’s one car in particular that is expected to have updated audio in Version 1.6." The news that 1.6 is on the way, audio updates are coming or something else?... ...really hope that 1.6 fixes the last of the trophy issues. That platinum beckons!
  16. Yeah, Abbring did a lot of test miles in the ES Motorsport Fabia, so he knows that car better than most. Although he has no competition experience I'd say he's a lot more experienced with car setup than Rokas was in the Fabia.
  17. Yeah, there are obviously a lot of factors at play, but it does make you question the situation at Subaru the last few years: has that car been closer to race winning pace than many thought and was it just the driver(s) holding it back? As much as the Focus seemed to be a fan favourite it still, despite a lot of effort, seems to be inferior to the Fiesta. I hope Block (and Arpin) manage to secure some decent results this year. They really need Block out there to push the numbers up as well. Agreed with regards to Abbring, first time I think we have seen the true potential of that Fabia (and that must be reassuring for the team to see given how much money ES Motorsport have thrown at that car). I am not a Marklund fan, so I must admit I wasn't that sad to see him get disqualified. Bit of a blunder from the team there, I was debating the possible technical positives (or negatives) of their error after reading about it. I thought the penalty for Kevin Hansen was a bit strong, but then I thought the same when they penalised Gronholm in Abu Dhabi, so they are 1:1 now. Such a shame that Gronholm has missed two rounds as, even with multiple wins, it's going to be very difficult for him to close in on the leaders. Massively disappointed for Liam. I know he isn't everyone's favourite, but his drive in the semi and final was superb, such a shame the car let him down.

    I'd actually prefer to keep things realistic and have 6 car grids and the proper semi/final structure. The British Championship has had 8-10 car finals in the past, but the results haven't always been great... ...however having the option for those who want the above would be nice! I'd of course like to see more cars and tracks in RX, but I'd also like to see the Group B RX cars get proper treatment.

    The Game Thread!

    Haven't had much time for gaming the last month, but have been playing a bit of Sonic Mania (currently free on PSN) and getting a lot of nostalgic vibes from it!

    Latest Movie/Tv show you watched

    I am still yet to watch (any!) GoT, but I watched Chernobyl and thought it was absolutely fantastic. Both compelling and terrifying viewing.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Managed to do a handful of laps around Latvia and it's pretty damn enjoyable but, like you, I am really looking forward to attempting some backwards entries into turn one at Estering!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    On my way back from France at the moment, despite saying that I wouldn't try new console content at midnight I will probably end up firing the PS4 up at midnight in the hope of trying a new RX circuit!
  23. tbtstt

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Brilliant, thanks for the confirmation! I guessed it wouldn't appear in ongoing Championships, but hoped it would be added to new ones!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Looks good in the preview! Will Latvia be included in the World Rallycross Championship option in Freeplay?
  25. Yeah. Real shame that they seem to have so many issues: really wish that GCK had approached Prodrive with the Clio instead of the Megane!
