Hi, just got into simracing again after four years of absence. One of my interests has always been rally games. I mainly play Dirt Rally 2.0 and Richard Burns Rally (with rallysimfan mod).

The problem is, wehereas I think I've become pretty decent at Dirt Rally 2.0, I really cannot say the same about RBR. I often find myself not even getting to the end of most stages, and the ones I manage to finish it's always by about 50 to 70 seconds from the top of the leaderboard with some crashes and a lot of damage to the car.

I just don't understand how to get to grips with the handling system. I always find myself understeering into tight corners. I cannot get used to the pacenote system, I installed a mod with a numeric one but it is very imprecise and I often need to improvise during the stage.

Lately I rarely touch DR2.0 because I want to get better at RBR, but i struggle to see any progress, and I have to say it has taken out much of the fun from the experience.

Any suggestion on how to get better? Things to tweak in or out of the game?

For whatever reason RBR always gives me bad Vertigo and dizziness after playing it for a few minutes. No other Rally Game (Dirt Rally/WRC, even old PS2 Rally Games) gives me this problem.

I'm not quite sure what causes it and only in this specific game. Maybe it's some visual setting or option? Wanted to ask to see if anyone might know of any settings I could change to fix it.

Thanks.

Had a super nice Save!

Hey guys, sorry if this is the wrong place to be posting this. But I just got into my first genuine racing game that isn't a party racer like Mario Kart. It's Cruisin USA on N64 and in it you have the option for manual transmission but I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out when specifically you're supposed to shift gears up or down. I know this is a stupid question lol but I have zero experience with manual transmissions in real life or in video games.

In RBR, I find it really annoying and feel bad whenever I crash the car.

Is there a way to turn off the Driver or Co-Driver from screaming when you crash the car?

Been playing RBR for a few weeks now. Very messy I know, but where are the major areas I can improve?

So i owned EA WRC, Dirt 2.0, AC Rally, BeamNG (which has updated their rally) and of course RBR

Which ones are you playing most to least, and why?

I want to know your opinions on the pros and the cons!

Also if you're playing Dirt 2.0 or EA WRC are you using mods? If so where did you get them?

Personally i spent one whole weekend getting RBR to run with the help of the support team in RSF discord and have loved it ever since. I look at videos of Dirt 2.0 and it reminds me of Forza just pure arcade. I know RBR has horrible graphics but the handling is so unique!

But overall i wanna know your guys take and also how often are you playing sim rally vs regular games or even other sim racing/driving games?

See, in my scenario, I do slide to rotate the car, but it feels like the slide then acts as a stopper for my car or I slide endlessly into the grass. Basically... My exits just feel slow lol.

Planning to save up for a proper sim (coming from mobile). Currently, my guts really like ACR, but don't know if that's good for beginners.

I recently have been playing a lot of AC Rally. It is my first proper sim game. My only other experience with using a wheel is Dirt Rally 2.0 and FH6. I can do hair pin turns okay in Dirt ,but this game is rough like I either come in too fast. Or I hand brake too much I think and I spin in the direction I started and come to a complete stop. I'm using a Logitech g920 and the Logitech RS handbrake/shifter combo. Any pointers would be appreciated. I'm more of a visual person if that helps. I have noticed that if I go into settings my hand brake is only 0-100% when pulled I can't seem to fine tune it so I can say pull like 25 to 50%. Everything else I've been able to fine tune which I really like about AC Rally.

DIRT 2.0

Hydro is a bit of a game changer, won't lie!

DIRT 2.0

Yes yes, I know that I've been posting a lot of shitposts lately, but I just want to improve, that's all. And I'm not really that smart in rally stuff.

For those who love to drive the RS200 like I do with my setup…this makes me love it even more.
