Curious... what setting are you running. I'm doing 80 but need to drop since I'm running in the back of the pack in all of the tracks.

I just started using the reddit settings. They worked better for me than the original settings I posted. I think I will use 70 AI for now and see if that helps more.

Something I just discovered that has helped me is that you can allow an AI racer to take control. This really helps because you can see first hand what gears to be in on different turns and such. You can access the option in the quick race weekend mode during the practice runs.

Noticed that too when I pitted in practice... the only problem is that I couldn't figure out how to take control back.

Yeah same. What I did was let the AI control practice session 1. Then I did the rest of the sessions manually. It helped me for sure.

Just picked this up with news of the apparent delay of the Division - one less game I have to pay for this year. I was probably going to get it anyway, but that news made the decision happen a lot sooner.

I've played it quite a bit on XB1 since the US release, I'm enjoying the game but there are some problems.

The biggest one is that the controller sensitivities on the default settings are really bad. I think this is the general feeling online since so many people are posting controller configurations. After playing around with the controls a bit I have them in a place I'm happy with, but it took about 3 hours of frustration. Since you can't adjust the controls in game its a lot of time spent staring at loading screens.

The other big problem is playing with the rain on is really irritating. The combination of how much the cars are affected and the bad framerate ruins the experience. I'd like to see how challenging the rain would be in a 60FPS situation, but outside of buying the PC version I'll never experience that.

The AI is also exceptionally stupid on every difficulty I've played on(between 70 and 100). They don't seem to even recognize you're on the track and tend to run you off the road at every opportunity.

Other than some nitpicks with how the manual transmission functions in the game, I'm starting to really enjoy it. I don't like it better than Forza 5(right now anyway) but the large variety in tracks is great and its a good distraction before some other games come out.

for AI settings for me in career mode, I've been doing 85% for the kart racing(still probably too easy with the super karts), and between 78-82% for other events, mostly depending on the track. the AI in the karts seem to be easier than normal cars. at 85%, I usually pull away quite easily, although I tend to fly off the track at times due to the crazy grip in those things, so it evens out.

Fine choice. If you like sim racers, this one is for you.

I'm not really a Sim racing fanatic.. just a guy who like racers. My friends don't think that this is for them because of the lack of road cars. I took the plunge anyway and I'm hooked. Once I get everything tailored the way I want, I'm golden.

In my first online lobby/race.. on Silverstone GP with the Audi R8 V10 Plus

I just finished the race. I finished 4th out of 10.. I got up to either 3rd or 2nd and I spun out. I must say, that was pretty intense..

I've had more fun with this one battle than racing online on GT6 since it's release..

2nd edit: I'm gonna post a screenshot of the race results and I'm gonna try to upload a video of my first online race to YouTube..

Online is not bad. Started on pole and finished 3rd in both races I've ran in stock cars at Watkins Glen. However, both times the 2 people who finished ahead of me cut through the chicane every single lap. The game gives you a 5 second speed penalty for that (I've tested it to make sure) but clearly that isn't enough to stop it from being an exploit. Hopefully something will be done about that.

I really suck at racing games. I cannot for the life of me stay on the track. Maybe I need to go play Forza Horizon, maybe a sim racer isn't for me.

With all that said, I want to keep playing.

Might want to check out some of those controller settings posts/threads, because if this game is the type to assume that you use a wheel, they will need some major tweaks - I know that from my time with past PC racing sim games.

I've tried adjusting the controller settings and assists, nothing is keeping me on the track. Last race I played it very safe just trying to finish a race and ended up coming in last of 29. I'm not using a wheel and have no thoughts on getting one so for me to enjoy this game I must find a sweet spot.

Here is the link to my first online race. I still haven't gotten used to the game yet, but I ran this under automatic and did it on a ds4.. I think I did pretty good for my first time..
