For an American codriver I always liked Jen Horsey, but all the guys have been great. No complaints.
My bad, Jen is actually Canadian. I should have said ‘North’ American. ☺️

Think of it this way. In DR1 there were only 6 locations. Now there are 13. It takes more time and determination to move up the ranks.
In DR1 I made it to Masters but never won it all. In DR2.0 I’m mid to bottom at Elite and that seems about right.

Anyone else get a preponderance of rain whenever drawing Scotland in My Team? Got Scotland twice so far and both had 9 out of 10 stages with rain. I get it; it rains there, but that heavily all the time? Can the team adjust this maybe?
-
How about 3 digit numbers for the cars, or at least access to the highest number for the maximum number of entrants. In DR2.0 we’ve got 150 entrants in many championships. Silly request, but why not.

The only way I’d use soft tires at Monte Carlo is on the 100% tarmac stages (no ice/snow) which I believe is just two of them (forward and reverse). Can’t recall the stage names off hand, but they’re like 4kms. And the chance of getting them consecutively between service stages without a snow/ice stage is slim to none.
Other than the option to choose wet or dry tarmac compounds, there really isn’t much point to the different tire options in the game. As far as dirt compounds are concerned, with the usual glut of service stages that are dished out you may as well just pick softs for everything.

6 hours ago, HoksuHoo said:Damage and repairs are the same in custom championships as in my team.
No, offline custom championships don’t carry over part degradation from one Rally event to the next. You get a new car without worn parts for each event.
I’m probably the only person who’s trying to make an already difficult game even harder.
-
Please allow use of garage cars in offline custom events. It will give the offline component more depth using cars that deteriorate with miles accumulated, part upgrades, and part replacements. Just like we can already do in My Team.
Being someone that’s had the game since day 1, the online events are stale with the predictable service stages. And the community events are still segregated by DLC and non-DLC.
It’s more fun to create custom championships where tire wear plays a factor. I need a reason to use hard compounds when there are many consecutive stages without a service park.
Also, allow us to determine the level of stage degradation when creating custom offline events. When selecting ‘Authentic’ (the most realistic), the surface never gets the chance to degrade much past light even when starting last. By the end of a multi-stage Rally the surface should be pretty well worn out and rutted.
There’s so much untapped depth and complexity in this game, and the online events don’t showcase it.
-
Ditch the F1 rim ASAP.
If the goal is to be the fastest no matter the cost then fine; but for anyone that’s never experienced turning the wheel hand over hand and the feel of the wheel spinning through your grip back to center is missing out on what rally is all about.
Get a round rim. Not one of those D-shaped ones either.

The game continues to crash in between events during single player offline custom championships.
Upon finishing an event when you are at the service park with your crew and you want to proceed, the game will go blue screen. This occurs almost every time.
-
Ironically the current ‘Bonus’ monthly event contains only DLC content, which are the legacy locations from DR1. So in effect the current ‘Bonus’ monthly is just replaying DR1 with stage degradation, improved graphics and maybe using a new car.
Meanwhile the regular and D+ monthlies only use the ‘new’ DR2.0 locations repeatedly month after month.
Now that we have 12 locations, can we stop the location segregation and get a monthly event that pulls from all 12? The only way to get a mix is through ‘Your Team’ or the event creator.

We really need the DLC locations mixed into the ‘D+’ Community events; at the very least added to the Monthlies.

- How are you getting on with the input configuration options in-game?
Not well. Befuddling and a constant chore describes it Never had any issues with DR1.0 or D4. Those games were set it and forget it. DR2.0 is complete guesswork in finding the best wheel setup.
- Are they easy to find, easy to understand?
Easy to find, most have unclear functions. Tyre friction? Still can’t figure out what it does.
- Is it easy to understand in-game what each of the settings mean and do?
No. There is zero description. Thankfully most are already familiar to me
- Is there anything in this regard you think the team could do better in the future?
Give us descriptions of the settings/control configurations
- How are you finding the in-game tools and configuration options?
See answer to bullet point #1
- How do you feel about how the game handles external configuration files?
Don’t know
- What are your thoughts on how the game handles multiple input devices, and switching between them?
Don’t have any experience with this
- If any of the devices you used were un-official, did you configure your devices via the in-game menus or by editing the XML?
Does not apply
- If you edited the XML did you know that the majority of the settings you can change in the XML are available in-game, before editing the XML?
Does not apply

32 minutes ago, gfRally said:Rumor is that its going to be a national rally next year since ARA took it over. Where about are you? I'm about 3.5hrs away on the PA side, you know about STPR in Wellsboro PA, right? Anyhow it will be interesting how next year works out, will some events go into a rotation for national rallys or will there be a longer season with new events being shuffled around until there are national events every 6 weeks? Have to see...
Not entirely sure. There are quite a few, but depends on the teams budget, really.... I don't follow the BMW's as close as Subaru's, but they always sound awesome coming thru the woods!
I’m in Columbus. Chillicothe is 50 miles away, and Portsmouth is another 50 from there. It would probably take me 90 minutes getting to some of the backroad spectator locations. Assuming parking is possible on the road side somewhere?

Interestingly there are quite a few Fiesta R5 cars showing up here in the US now. There where 4 plus a hybrid shell with Mitsubishi engine (cheaper) - and this was a super regional, not a national event.
Can’t believe I’ve never heard of this event living 50 miles away from the start. I know where I’ll be next year...unless they cancel the event for another 20 years..

My bet nothing is broken or glitched, it’s part of the game design so they don’t become overly repetitive. Still, would be nice to see one occasionally for those of us that have played this way too much.

53 minutes ago, FLAW3D said:I've never seen a bird flock, I only seen drones once Monte Carlo arrived as well was wondering why they had been took out of the game.
What other unexpected moments happen?Don’t know about 2.0, but DR1 and D4 had animals run across the road in the distance at night. Again, only saw them a couple times early on and then never again.
As for the post about what settings are we using, I’ve got mine set to ‘Unexpected Events’ [on].
-
This happened in D4, too. Maybe after a certain (short) amount of time playing they stop so it doesn’t seem repetitive. Who knows.
Haven’t seen a drone, stalled car, or bird flock in a while. Don’t know my total playing time, but it’s been quite a bit.

This has probably been discovered by one of the DiRT-o-philes already, but I just realized why the ‘95 Subaru and Stratos have their odometers set to ‘8768’.
68 for the year Colin McRae was born, and 87 for his first year in WRC.
‘8568’ would have been his date of birth. So close. -
Surprised that nobody has asked Kylotonn if they are planning on DLC. Maybe that’s where the Audi and Subaru models are hiding. -
D4 ‘Your Stage’ really comes alive when mixing up the times of day and weather conditions. Arrange a Rally where all the stages head directly into the rising or setting sun. Or create a Rally where the weather gets progressively worse as the event transpires. And then try it with every car possible. The options are nearly endless. -
The entire article appears to be poorly written or (maybe) translated.Julo264 said:I read this article and got a big **** in my mind. Until it gets to the DiRT Rally part, it's critical but somehow in small percentage, accurate. But then author starts writing about DiRT Rally:
"It was before Christmas 2015, when a new rally sim, called Dirt: Rally, came out. However, the fans weren’t too excited. The range of tracks and cars was truly amazing, but the way the cars behaved wasn’t. Once again, the series tried and failed to produce a worthy successor of Richard Burns Rally. The physics model was cumbersome and with too much traction on all surfaces, the simulation didn’t feel very realistic.And developers made it worse when they prevented players from modifying the cars’ behaviour. Instead of providing improved model of physics, they introduced more paid content, alienating the hardcore fans. Although the game was a lot of fun for less experienced players, the skilled ones could get bored quite soon. The unfulfilled potential was, in the end, even worse than if the game was really that bad by itself."
What. The. Hell

My interpretation of this comment is BigBen would like and is capable of producing WRC8, but ultimately the licensing is out of their hands. The most telling fact is the early end date of WRC eSport Championship makes me believe the license is going elsewhere. To whom I have no idea.er185 said:Bigben has said this about the next WRC game
Hi there.
As you know, the Kylotonn Team has grown a lot in the past few years, even opening a second studio. They are able to handle different projects at the same time, but for 2018, let's celebrate the come-back of V-Rally 4.
More information regarding any potential WRC sequel will be given at a later date.

eSport racing doesn’t do anything for me whether I’m participating or spectating. Watching the laws of physics being destroyed turns me off quite honestly. Speaking of being destroyed, that’s basically what happens to me in online racing anyway; getting beaten unmercifully or constantly shunted off the track.
Top 5 favourite cars to drive
in DiRT Rally 2.0
Posted · Edited by cjr3559
I can’t pick just 5 so I’ll list my favorites. And I haven’t tried them all yet. In no particular order:
Need to try more of the 2000 class cars, I’m sure there’s some really good ones in there like both Subaru and the Ford Focus but haven’t driven them since DR1 and D4.
