Purchased my rig to get into sim racing. Was thinking iracing, lmu, auto mobilista, etc.

After trying out lmu, i've come to a realization that i do not find it fun at all. 1 month later and all my time on the rig goes strictly to mastering drifting on assetto corsa and downloading new cars and tracks to play on.

Not what i foreseen this rig being used for, but having much more fun nonetheless. Also, endurance racing is too much of a commitment for someone who only has a few hours to spare on the weekends to play.

Anyone else ditch the racing scene completely for this?

New to the community here. Just downloaded content manager, csp, pure, and running the exilitay graphics filters.

Game looks amazing on 4k 144hz with stable fps but my cpu is going crazy.

Most games i play average anywhere from low to high 60s on my 9800x3d and arctic lf3. Assetto with the mentioned mods was doing mid 80s to low 90s!

Anyways, chatgpt mentioned turning my windows power plan from high performance to balanced mode which seemed to help a bit. I am at anywhere from low 60s to low 70s now with spikes in the 80s when i am configuring pure planner or config in game.

Is this normal? Is there any trick to lowering my cpu temps any further or is this just the downside to running the game modded?

A bit lost in trying to configure my set up. Recently built my first rig using an r12 wheel base and luckily have been able to copy some pit house and in game settings for forza horizon 6 that work great.

However, assetto corsa is a completely different game and almost all guides i see are giving completely different inputs.

I would like to start drifting and it would be great to know what everyone is running in game and on there software for settings. Screenshots would be appreciated.

Also, content manager, csm, and pure have been installed. Any clue as to what car packs and tracks i should download to get started and from where?

Unfortunately, figuring out what to download and how to setup ffb correctly have been more of a pain than building the rig itself.

Any help is appreciated.

Had the game for a few years. Due to new games always coming out, taking a long break from video games, life, and getting into pc building... i stopped at seattle day 3 (ellie's portion). This past month i picked it back up and finally finished it after years. Wow, didn't expect to like abby that much.

Hands down one of the best games i've ever played. Legit sad this adventure is over. Character development, story, and gameplay are all a 10. Don't think i've ever been this invested in a game's story since rdr2.

Wish we could see what happened to Dina and Abby afterwards as they left the story a bit open ended. Hopefully there will be a part 3 to close everything up (i assume that's why they ended it how they did).

What percentage of your time spent playing video games would you say is spent in your sim rig racing? 50%, 75%?

​

I ask because i've always been huge into video games and know some people in this community may not feel the same. Whether its grinding twitch shooters, action adventure games, or arpgs, i always look forward to the next big title release to consume what free time i have.

​

I would hate to build a rig only to feel im neglecting it. Man cave currently has a 5090/9800x3d pc on a 32" oled in one corner, and a ps5 pro on a 55" oled in another. Want to add a sim rig for drifting in another corner but not at the expense of it collecting dust (or the other toys either).

​

Just wondering if most have lost their love for video games to strictly racing titles to play in their rig or if others have a balance between the two.

Have had my 2022 widebody scat pack charger for 4 years now. Its been great, but i think the fomo of not being able to obtain a new mkv supra is getting to me with these cars being discontinued soon.

My dream car is a 911 gt3 and one day i WILL have it. Until then, i feel like this is the closest i will get to that experience.

Love the widebody, but i absolutely miss rowing my own gears. My car is extremely comfortable but feels like im driving an SUV at times and doesn't feel as engaging as i'd like.

Has anyone made the switch from a larger domestic car to the supra? Did you miss the room? The torque? Highly considering selling the scat for a supra. Maybe i just need to sit in one... i'm assuming a test drive is out of the question for most dealers. 6' tall 210lbs if that makes a difference for these 2 doors.
