My gear:
Fanatec CSL DD 8nm
Fanatec Clubsport universal wheel hub + round wheel rim
Fanatec Clubsport V3 pedals
Fanatec handbrake v1
Simagic DS-8X shifter
Sim-Lab GT evo profile cockpit
This all works fine on Linux and in most titles but I can't use any of the Fanatec software so no firmware updates and no software tuning, just the onboard tuning menu.
Other Assetto Corsa titles produces incredible FFB and features very detailed settings to compensate for whatever quirks your equipment has.
Early access 0.5:
While many things have improved, the FFB model is still so bad that it induces motion sickness.
It doesn't matter how good the game is if I can't tell what the car is doing. The short of it is too much damn vibration, too much latency and not enough clear suspension and weight transfer.
The vibration clips the FFB and whatever feedback there might have been underneath holds forces long after the car has transferred weight and the opposite direction feedback seems to produce even more vibration.
The best advice I can give here is stop trying to replicate what happens in a real car and start thinking about making this garbage playable on a sim - make the VIDEO GAME work well on VIDEO GAME CONTROLLERS. Revolutionary feedback, I know.
The FFB problem was a slight worry before and has now continued to be a problem for so long that I wager nobody is even going to bother coming back, I certainly won't until I see [b][u]COMPLETE FFB REWORK[/u][/b]. Split your FFB settings like ACC did and for the love of god let me set vibration and gain separately.
Player numbers have always been a problem for rally titles. People don't know enough, you're always just driving by yourself and people can't be bothered to learn how not to crash. Confronting how bad you are at something is not exactly a feature of the modern human.
But the games in the category are just as much at fault - the menus almost always suck, it takes forever to get into the game and driving and ACR in particular seems designed for 40nm spacecraft simulators with 7D motion rigs and G force simulation.
Just add a quick play button on the main menu that puts you in a time attack, on the start line with the time ticking, in a rally3 car or something. People are going to be more concerned about their chosen input device doing its job than how big your roster of crashable material is so why don't you focus on getting people hooked before asking them to take a course in navigating KunosMenusTM.
As for performance - it's playable but far from good. My machine is not a cheap one and does not lack in power but I am cutting settings to feed my 3440x1440 display north of 100fps. I dread the experience of a 8gb VRAM GPU. Do better.
Once again I find myself recommending Dirt rally 2.0 over the reviewed game - it's not peak realism but it's playable on every device under the heavens and the roster of cars and stages leaves only a 30k marathon to be desired. The content in ACR is not worth talking about until the skeleton has been completed.
