    I've not got this game yet but my maximum enjoyment in rally games is to pick a good car and hit the time trials hard. Playing the same track over and over for a whole session knocking fractions of a second of my time is so enjoyable. The best laughs I'd had playing with friends have been those nights where we compete on time trials. Best drunken quote from one of those nights was "lucky b star d, you were a passenger for most of that run!!!"

    I own a Thrustmaster T300 RS GT. It's fairly cheap, has great force feedback, you can change the steering wheel (separate F1 wheels and such). A buddy of mine has a Fanatec DirectDrive setup....more expensive but way more torque. He only plays racing games (Asetto Corsa primarily) while I play more casual...the Thrustmaster combined with a good race seat for me is more than sufficient. Love the content !

  • @manuelkumli5393

    Thats what i think about the co driver calls.
    6: just send it
    5: get of the throttle real quick
    4: probably have to break a little
    3: go slow
    2: super slow
    1: dont break to late
    Jump: Full Throttle to get as much airtime as possible no matter what.
    the difference between 3 and 4 can be alot. Sometimes 3 is almost a 2 and a 4 is allmost a 5 it feels like.

    DR2.0 is a really cool yet hard game. That is pretty nice that you chose to dive into simracing. I haven't tried out EA WRC yet, but feedbacks are that this game is a lil bit more "arcadish". However it is pretty similar as it was supposed to be DR3.0 w/o the official licence (Codemasters made both). Multiplayer should be more populated but there's still a huge community of DR2.0 lovers. Multiplayer lives with the community may be an idea as well (w/e the game). $10 for DR2.0 might be amongst the best deals ever. Maybe just try to stick to asphalt stages first to get used to the car before diving in slidish conditions. Germany rally is such a banger in this game

    @ToBeardOrNotToBeard Před 6 měsíci

    I'm absolutely shocked with how well you drove. It's ludicrously impressive to drive this well on dirt rally 2.0 with a controller for the first time. You're not used to pace notes, don't know the stages, don't know the cars, and are missing out on the amazing force feedback from a sim wheel that makes it a lot more realistic to go fast. And yet, you only made a few major mistakes and it's evident that you understand what driving 4wd is about. Especially the part where you exclaimed that you saved yourself with the throttle, and then credited the 4wd drivetrain -- because that definitely wouldn't have helped in rwd and you evidently know this :)
    Definitely give this and the new wrc game a try when you finally get a sim rig going -- the feedback makes it so much more engaging to drive, as the car speaks to you through it.

      @@IWrocker That's just AWESOME man ^^ I went from very entry logitech wheels from full fanatec DD1, so it depends on your budget and your platform but there's a few solutions if you wanna play this game :
      -Logitech G29 (PC and PS5) or Logitech G920 (PC and Xbox). It's the entry wheel. It's actually a very good one for its price, you'll ge most of the info you need out of the force feedback. It feels a bit like a toy but overall pretty solid and reliable, and it comes with a basic but ok pedal set. There is no current logitech handbrake, so on console you could use a button on the wheel for handbrake, on pc you could just add any handbrake from any brand. There's cheap usb handbrakes left and right if you don't wanna invest too much. Lots of small brands are doing quality handbrakes also.
      -T300RS (PC and PS5) from Thrustmaster. It's still entry stuff, but it's better than the G29 : higher torque, smoother force feedback, overall a bit more solid. The pedals are also bit sturdier than the logitech ones, and thrustmaster does a handbrake called THSS which is aight, but expensive. Again, on pc you could use any handbrake.
      -Fanatec "Ready to Race" bundle + fanatec handbrake : it's starting to get serious, the wheelbase in this bundle is a direct drive wheelbase, which is the golden standard for sim racing. Incredible precision, details, and way higher torque. It's another world of sensations compared to the previous wheels cited, and it's the entry of the "premium" wheelbases. And the good thing is, fanatec has done massive price drops across all of their products, so you could also get wheelbase+wheel+pedals+handbrake for like ... 800 something ? Which was unthinkable a few years back. This works on pc and xbox, and there's a gran turismo wheelbase for the PS5. all the accessories connect to the wheelbase and there's one usb that goes into your PC + a power cable.
      I'm not gonna list better stuff because if you're entering the hobby it's plenty enough, above that and it's getting seriously expensive, for someone who wants to try. The fanatec option is already pretty incredible and you could need only that, forever. Just, take a wheelstand, or better a chassis. having to unpack and pack everything and clamp it on your desk isn't fun and you'll get tired of it. Also, pedals on the floor slide, you want something relatively sturdy. I'm rocking a GT1 EVO from simlab, but a simple wheelstand could do the trick. Next level racing does a very good wheelstand that can even support some direct drive wheelbases called the Wheel stand DD/Pro.
      All that depends on your budget but that's a few recomandations, hope that wasn't too confusing.
      Love brother

    After you crashed there was a loud wopwopwop noise of the deflated tyre, then the tyre came off the rim when you crashed again. But if you don't drive too hard you can make it to the end on a deflated tyre, but you have to slow down a fair bit for it.

Again, these crazy things are my "methadone" after I had to quit racing IRL (financials & health). And most of them get better with each new release of the franchise.
    Let's see..what else? Not going back for timestamps, but when the co-driver says, "..middle over crest.." it means there's something you might hit (tree/bank/building) if you don't land center of the road on the other side of it. If he says right or left, he's trying to keep you on the quick line to set up for the next turn. You did pretty good for someone who's never tried it before. Not to mention jumping right in with no driver aids and a hand controller.

    @yasu7494 Před 6 měsíci +5

    Depends on what is your budget for a wheel! But one thing for sure once you taste force feedback you won't go back!
    I started on Logitech G29 + H shifter, very basic wheel, I would not say it's the best wheel for the price but plenty for a casual gamer. It's gear driven so it lacks a bit of smoothness and details. Not easily customisable so the small wheel might feel a bit like a toy sometimes. (I broke the internals drifting and after testing the Trusmaster T248 is better at that price range, I think because it's belt and gear driven)
    My next wheel is a Trusmaster tmx leather (same base as t300), this one is belt driven so it's more smooth, same size wheel as G29/G923 but I plan to put a larger deep dish wheel on it and add the TH8S Shifter. The trusmaster catalog is quite large so I can't talk for what I haven't tested but I would not invest more in a belt driven wheel, plenty of feels for me even there is newer and better options.
    And then there is Direct Drive, this means the wheel is directly on the motor shaft, no gears or belt here, just straight power and feels like no other tech. This can go as deep as your wallet can be but I would say that the Fanatec DD and Moza R5 are the best entry products into direct drive wheels, very reasonnable price for what you get.
    Hope this help you!

    Loved the video. Impressive driving for your first time. In terms of wheel set-up suggestions, as a starting set-up I would suggest the Thrustmaster T300. It comes with a wheel with good feedback and three pedals while not being too expensive. A Logitech G27/29 would a a comperable set-up, however from my experience I would say that the thrustmaster wheel has a better feeling to it and the force feedback feels a bit better. Of course it's my opinion and it slightly depends on your preference. I have been using a Thrustamster T300 Alcantara Edition for a couple years and im very happy with it. The feedback is great the the immersion is just lovely ;)
    Both the Logitech and Thrustmaster have some add-ons you can buy like a shifter or a handbrake if you want an even more immersive experience.

    Very Cool video, welcome to rally’ing , you reminded me of many years ago when I first played dirt rally 1 and have been rally’ing on me tv ever since, including being forced into upgrading my ps4 to ps5 because of the new ea Wrc rally. But saying that this 2.0 is still in my opinion the best, even though the new one is newer and more prettier. Hope you continue to enjoy Rally’ing . Ps, I’m been on auto gearbox, chase cam, and console controller all these years and still thoroughly enjoy it, people that seem to go for a wheel and pedals either get betterer or it takes ages to get better/ faster, I’ve been thinking bout a wheel for years and still haven’t taken the plunge.. It’s also down to how brave you are going flat out up and down some foreign country lanes, and being able to dust yourself off after a big off and make it to the finish line with that metal broken wheel rattle. Lol, nice one.. And no wants to be last lmao, and another ps, re watched your video and yeah very Good, new subscriber here

    You just drove through part of The most legendary rally stage Ouninpohja. But you drove it to "wrong" direction. At start there is part what they are driving 30 seconds full speed and lasts after start of this stage you drove. It starts from that big jump named jump of the yellow house. I have been watching live in many of those corners. You can find many jump and crash videos from there like Markko Märtin with Ford Focus jump and Sebastian Lindholm crashes his Peugeot. Also Daniel Sordo crashed once at Ounin talo which is house you drive by.

    That's not even bad. Rally sims take a ton of practice, I drive sims a lot and rally is my favorite. I still struggle with it from time to time. Pushing rally cars is hard man.
    Small tip, when driving those 4wd weapons you wanna learn how to "throw" the car in a turn. At least throwing is the term Finns use. You kinda wanna get the car rotating before the turn, direct it with your brake and gas pedal through the corner and trust that the power of the car can pull you out. It's kinda difficult to explain, but take the practice course and start throwing it around. Hit the brake pedal to sift the cars weight on front wheels to get it to turn. You don't always have to slow down, but just move the mass of the vehicle. As a car guy you'll get the hang of it quick. The cars can actually do crazy stuff with the power and 4wd grip.
    Also driving rear wheel drive cars is fun as balls and teaches you a lot about pedal control since you have to be so careful. Don't know how much fun that is on controller tho since you really do have to feather the gas pedal.

  • @shaggings
    @shaggings Před 6 měsíci +4

    You turn early in rally, if you turn when you arrive at the corner you're too late, not quite the same as tarmac track racing. PS; Finland I think is the hardest rally in the game, so hard to keep the car in the right line cause the roads are so cambered. The way I manage to get through it fastest and safest is to try and dive inside on all corners (unless you shouldn't, did that a few times and totaled my car) let the camber of the road help you push through the turns.

    One of the craziest, and most terrifying, sensations you can get in this game is flying through a course at full speed, hearing the rev limiter screaming while you're flying through wooded passages, mere inches of road on either side being your only lifeline between completing a rally stage or suffering terminal damage. Do so at night with zero HUD after breaking your headlights, your only guide being your co-driver's pace notes, and you get a feeling you simply can't replicate anywhere else!

    Dirt 2.0 is exactly what i would recommend for really getting into WRC Sims. the new EA WRC is great but Focuses on a broader range of things including management, where as Dirt 2.0 is just about the races and cars. I think it's the better of the two for those just getting into Rally racing sims. Once you get decent at that I would recommend the new WRC game. Both are amazing.

    Since you are so into rally and f1, you should get good driving wheel and pedals set. It will make a huge difference of how you will feel the car. Also, you could give a try to Colin McRae rally game. It was the best rally simulator back some years ago. Your view about how difficult rally is will change dramatically.
    Tip: Don't forget some corners can be taken faster if you counter- steer. Enjoy.

    Great video, you earned a like and a sub. If you want to try a racing game that has the best "driving feel" (in my opinion and many others), give Race 07 a try. Yes, it is super old - it's also super cheap on Steam. The graphics are not up to today's standard but really they aren't bad. The audio is really good. The big draw, the driving feel when using a wheel setup. It's truly a great game. Fyi, you did great for your first time! Cheers
    edit: For wheels, your budget is the primary factor. I use a very old Logitech G25 wheel/ pedals/ shifter in a home made wooden cockpit and it suits me just fine for now. I read good things about the current logitech wheel setups, they are mid range for price. My suggestion, do research and get a wheel asap, it takes racing to a whole new level. Have fun!

    Not bad at all for first go. However you asked for tips so...
    Be more decisive: don't tap-tap accelerator (commit and control), brakes (same).
    Don't panic, anticipate: navigator helps, tells you whats coming.
    Don't let go of the gas in a corner and never ever touch the brake in a corner. No no no. Those will make give understear and make you plough forward.
    Brake before the turn if needed (or just use engine brake) and once commited to the angle use gas pedal only and dont let go of it adjust load as needed, but you want to take the turn on load. Makes the car turn and rotate better + more stable.
    Practice... each track, each car each setup all different
    And most important: enjoy :)
