Some good points made and unfortunately this is the way things are heading, you get ten players complaining they cant handle the cars and they need more grip and on the other hand you have one guy saying can we have a bit more sim in the driving. Who do you think they are going to listen to? :( Big...

That's very encouraging. It might sound crazy but playing with the keyboard made me really appreciate the different handling models, not just between cars but between specs. I thought IT reps were pushing it when they counted each spec as a different car but I can totally see it now, as opposed to w...

It's been a major complaint on the official forums for quite some time so I've been paying attention to it a lot. In fact, the only mission I enjoy in this game is 'Fleeing the country', and I'm focused on avoiding damage. I have to say I have rarely noticed quirks in traffic ai behavior. Cars aren'...

Just for your info, Fergus plays on FA and is a big fan of Arcade racing. I was surprised about that. But he also knows the importance of serving players that like a little challenge. The real Hardcore guy is Seb Tixier. He even builds wheels himself. High torque. Maybe he should stand his ground s...

Regarding the hardcore mode nerfing, does it affect Full Stock as well or just the arcade specs? Honestly, the experience ended up being stale enough with a wheel that I haven't even plugged it in since early december. Sadly, it's much more fun on the keyboard, probably because the on/off accelerate...

I agree on principle but I'm trying to be realistic: it's all about console teens with gamepads. We more mature PC wheel players are second class customers because we represent less than 10% of the customer base. So it wouldn't be a good move to make default hardcore mode really hardcore. Because th...

Signed. That ended up being the last straw for me.

... you need to watch long Youtube videos of the beta in which the uploader plays in cockpit view, so you can use your steering wheel and pedals in sync pretending like you're driving in The Crew. If this keeps happening after the start of football season in a few days, I'm checking myself into rehab.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer, helps put things in the right order in my head so I can clearly see that unless IT set up different servers with different time cycles, my perfect game will only become reality if someone can bring it offline. A 4-h cycle is not ideal either, I'm afraid only some...

I'm going to be the lone voice of dissent on this. Text chat used to annoy the hell out of me in TDU because I can't type and drive at the same time. I'd meet very nice people and then when they felt like yapping I'd find myself stopping every thirty seconds just not to be impolite. No text chat mea...
