1:17 "why is it such a big thing to have a car drive like in real life?" You answered that question with the previous 2: Most people never drove a GT3 car, and most importantly most of us never will. Therefore, having having a simulation that will make people experience racing as closely as possible is an important factor for a sim. There's plenty of fun and "non-realistic" games out there; it would be nice to have at least one that resembles a real life racing car.

I totally agree. I think because I probably won’t ever drive a real GT3, it’s great to have a sim which simulates the behaviour and feeling a real car would give you. That’s why it’s called a simulation, because it’s supposed to simulate the real world.

When I first started playing ACC. It was on my series X. Pretty limited with FFB settings. It just didn't feel right. Too loose. So once I got it on PC, my 10 year old son had a pretty good idea. Him and I got in my car and drove around the block. I mean I drive obviously lol. But then came right back to my rig and made some little adjustments. Then repeated this a few more times. I gotta say, my sim wheel feels about as close to the steering in my Mazda 3 now. When I've spent hours in the rig and then jump off to run to the store, it actually feels familiar and seem less. I have upgraded stiffer suspension. My wheel base is a TH TS-XW with a Sparco 310. This may sound dumb or pointless to some people but I swear it has helped me get the rig setup perfectly for me. I adjusted the pedal and my seating position to mirror my real car. So, maybe someone else will give the same thing a try. I think outside of the G forces felt in your butt and body while in a real vehicle, that if you get all of your FFB settings figured out. It's about as close as one can get. I hoped on a friend's rig with iRacing (he has the exact same wheel base and similar setup) and iRacing felt kinda of hollow. Not nearly as connected where the digital rubber hits the road. It's a great sim, just feels dated. Anyway, yeah maybe tune your rig to feel like your real car. May help y'all get an even better feel. Enjoy your laps folks! 👍😎

Being realistic is the number one thing because when a game is this deep and requires this amount of commitment you want the skills to be transferable to other games of that type, so the easiest way to get the sims to be a shared discipline is to have them all strive to be as close to reality as possible. It also has the benefit of having solid metrics for the developers to measure against. So yes being close to reality is the entire point regardless of wether the players will ever experience the real thing or care about it

If you want to call it a SIMULATION then having it drive, handle and behave like its real life counterparts is a very important part of the equation. There have been several actual real world drivers of Blancain GT3 series cars has stated that after a few adjustments ACC had the cars where they drove like their real life counterparts. To me that is about as good of an endorsement that a PC game could hope to obtain where it refers to realism. iRacing on the other hand in my opinion the cars in particular on cold tires remind me of almost trying to drive on icy roads. Yes grip levels are down as compared to full temp tires with the lower tire pressures and cold rubber but not to the degree of what it feels like in iRacing. Even ACC has is more correct there if you have ever driven on a race track on race rubber. iRacing may be the only game in town when it comes to oval racing or some classes of road racing but when it comes to gt3/gt4 racing ACC does the actual simulation of the cars better in my opinion which comes from watching the racing and the statements of some real world race drivers. As far as the online aspect and public races iRacing is better but it does also offer that at a premium cost for both purchasing the cars and track content and paying a monthly subscription fee to keep those purchases usable. With iRacing you never really own the content you only rent it as you must have an active subscription to use it even for offline use. That is my biggest gripe against iRacing, either sell the content for unlimited use on or offline OR require a subscription to play the game but requiring both is too far over the top and to much.

I don't think iRacing is too pricey. I don't think people realise how much it costs to run so many servers and the staff to maintain them. Think about it. For 13$ per month you have daily races. Sometimes every other hour. And you only need to purchase the car you want to drive and the tracks needed for the series. Ofc if you want to drive absolutly everything, iRacing is expensive. But it is a multiplayer first sim. It's your choice how much you want to spend on it. No other sim delivers an online experience like iRacing. And btw. I only paid for like 3 months or so. It's not worth it for me. But i won't say it is too pricey.

Done both iRacing and ACC. The thing where iRacing hits a homerun is indeed the online system. Currently there are 2 full time series where GT3-drivers can compete. One is a sprint series with races lasting around 40 minutes and IMSA where races take around 45 and sometimes 60, depending on the 12 week based season. Race starts are every 2 hours. So if 'Race A' starts at 13.45 , 'Race 2' starts at 15.45. Where ACC hits it out of the ball park is the sheer experience of racing these cars. "Feel, sound, visuals" are on a powerlevel over 9000. And now for the blunders, where unfortunately for iRacers, iRacing just has a tad too many of. Pricing is awful! From subscription to buying a car, all tracks to race, prices for setups from providers to be SOMEWHAT competitive are skyrocketing as well and the baseline setup iRacing offers, will not get you anywhere I'm afraid. Building your own setup might take you so much time practicing you will barely make to get a race in before the week is over to get that rating that was praised in this video. The backslides in iRacing are awful as well. iRacing isn't dubbed 'iCeRacing' affectionately/mockingly without a reason. ACC has blunders too, just not as prevalent to the racing itself, but more to the stuff around it. Licensing is one of them and while making/downloading favorite custom liveries is possible, your options are limited and not as streamlined as anyone would like. Blunder 2 is the online service, it feels hollow and useless. Sure, you can join a league through obscure and hidden away forums and that's all fine and dandy but when I want to race 12 to 28 random strangers on a certain point of the day, I want it to mean something, I want competitive rankings, rankings based on safety, stats, records, personal bests, all-time best laptimes. These are just not present in ACC in any meaningful way. So these were the biggest hits and misses from both ACC and iRacing. I hope you are better informed after having read this and if you have any questions, I will look forward to some of the replies down below. Cheers!

I wish ACC had an online system similar to iracing, I know it would be a massive money investment for kunos, but iracing has shown that sim racers are willing to pay a subscription for the online racing for the company to maintain online severs and upkeep. If ACC was able to do that without charging for each car and track like iracing it would be a homerun. I don't know what's holding them back from doing it?

Personally I think ACC takes the cake for me. Especially when you get in on Low Fuel Motorsports eco system (similar in how iRacing goes about things). I did iRacing for a year and couldn't stomach the costs associated with it. Its too darn expensive especially when I can only get in 4 hrs a week on a sim. The other issue I have when it comes to "sim racing" is that there is this notion that the cars have to be hard to drive. When going at a "comfortable" pace (lets say 90%) in a lot of sims (iRacing included) the car just feels on edge already. From personal experience in karting and formula cars that is just a weird thing and just isn't right. Generally, these cars feel on rails when running at 90% as it should but that 100% is when things feel on edge and your pushing the boundaries of what the vehicle can handle. ACC does a great job IMO where its easy to drive at 90% but things get much harder when maxing out. Also, ACC does a good job with curb usage as well. ACC doesn't let you get away with clobbering curbs but you can properly use your inside front tire on it to get that right rotation and weight transfer to get around fast. Other sims like iRacing you get one of two things when properly executing curb usage.... 1) the curb tosses the car outward essentially kicking you wide and likely in the grass on exit or 2) you get over come with oversteer and you get spun around almost immediately.

I think iRacing is a clear winner. ACC will get old quickly without updates but a benefit of the sub model of iRacing is that the cars and tracks will get updated over time. Not to mention it incentivizes ppl to commit to iRacing, so the population is always strong. Ppl talk about cost but getting a deal every 2 Black Fridays and buying 2 years at a time makes it cost $7/month. If that is prohibitive, idk how you'd ever budget to afford a wheel, let alone a sim rig. In the end, I consider population and experience in MP above all else, and with iRacings license and skill system alone wins me over.

Since I will never be fortunate enough to be able to drive an actual GT3 car, I want the closest to life possible version of that in a sim. If that means less/more FFB, easier or harder to drive, or a bit less fun, thats ok if I have comfort knowing thats as close to possible as real life (especially as a VR driver). For the thrill of the drive I still hop on RF2 to hotlap from time to time, but iRacing is so dang convenient to online race at any time it's worth the extra to me.

For the most part though, I have found quite a few people take it more seriously and want to make it to the end of the race. If you can qualify well, you'll be with a group of other drivers that probably have practiced and have some sense. Speaking of practice, if you join practice lobbies you'll start seeing the same people almost every day. You sort of build up a group of drivers and it keeps getting better.

I want my tyre pressure to end up around 27.5 to 28.5 after the tires warm up. After running the Audi R8 LMS at Mid Ohio my tire temps and pressures were very close to what they were in real life when I ran there. Grant it i was a bit more abusive on them in iRacing. No fear of destroying a car or getting hurt in the sim and all, but I was close enough to race pace. There are some things I think iRacing needs to work on in regards to their tire model, and one of them is the starting pressures. But the end pressure and temps are about the same in both sims and IRL.

I do think if there were a dedicated push by Kunos to support a system similar to iRacing it would immediately become everyone's first choice. Also, as someone who has doen work on the scheduling for the GT3 series in iRacing a lot over the years I have to disagree on the "same 10 tracks" point. The selection process is tuned specifically to avoid this, and tracks can't appear in the schedule more than twice every calendar year.

Interesting that somebody would pick ACC over iRacing for anything really. You said you iRaced in the past, not sure if you still do not not, but your comment strikes me as somebody who sits right around the 1.5 to 1.7k irating range, not bad, but not good enough as a sim racer to appreciate how good the car really is. So to you ACC is better because it holds your hand a bit more with the car and training wheel physics.

@@backmarkerbob It's not just the reflections though. You can hear the engine note sounds almost synthesized in iRacing - where gear changes sound overly sharp and unnatural. The engine note has almost zero low frequencies emanating from it, which gives the car this nasally, thin tone. They sound like a vacuum cleaner. Honestly, i'd expect something that sounds like that from a game that came out a decade ago, Not in 2021. If the audio guy in iRacing is adamant they have the best sound out of the two, then they need to look at getting someone else. That kind of arrogance is what's holding them back IMO. Cars shouldn't sound static and artificial. They should make the hairs on your arms stand up. ACC audio is better, but even that isn't perfect.

iRacing high price + irating and sr system makes one difference- nobody is racing for fun, there are no kids or idiots ramming everyone, nobody is malicious due to risk of ban after report. Every single race is full of tryhards- no casual players. It gives a nice feeling that you race in some league in real life (I am racing in real life also). This game is far more competitive than any other sim on the market. You do not sit into car for 1h per week to win anything in real life- the same in iRacing. You train for a few days for 3-4h per day to even start first race of the week to drive on the edge of the seat for 1h or 45minutes race for 110% of your comfort zone. After that you are all sweat, hearth is pumping blood as creazy during every start of the race. In ACC you race for nothing. In comparision I would play ACC if simracign would be just a relax after work. When you sank into it and you are racing for points, for results, not for fun- iRacing is the only option. ACC- great game and sim, great car feeling- cheap option. iRacing- great racing simulator and very expensive option for someone that is lacking money- for me in comparision to real trackday costs its nothing. I have almost all the sims on the market- and I always return to iRacing. It makes you frustrated, makes you scared about your evening. Makes you want to rip off you steering wheel of the rig and destroy screens. I already destroyed my Oculus after being collided in the end of very important 24h race. Only iRacing gives such an emotions- this is why this game even which crap visuals wins.

I have both. I don't play ACC because I don't like the way the cars are animated (i.e. the cars skate because the wheels rotate at like 1/10 speed), the replays are limited/boring and the VR performance is crap even on my RTX3080.

99% of people in the comments have not driven a GT3 Car.

As far as ACC goes, it seems like a more forgiving potentially "less realistic" rear-end sliding, however, I have never driven the cars in real life so I really can't say anything but the "forgiveness" of ACC vehicles, as I have never driven a GT3 car I can't actually comment about it.

I drive a lot on track in real life and i’ve always thought that acc was just easy mode, far too forgiving at the limit, on the flip side iracing was artificially more difficult.. i think that boils down to the tyre model, for example when the gt3 cup porsche span, that was an obvious flaw in the tyre model at a specific point (slow corners) i wish they would get it right.. also on the grass and sand in iracing is like driving on ice, another huge irritation. I think if iracing could address those inconsistencies and make it a bit more forgiving (S4 gt3 tyres have done a good job here) then i think iRacing would (for me at least) be the leader in realism.. i like how in iracing you need to spend time with the cars and learn how they work before you are competitive. In acc you can just jump in anything and be quick straight away which i dont find that rewarding.

In the context of sims, it’s not really a matter of if you have or ever will drive a GT3 car, it’s the psychics of driving that are the important part with closer to real being the advantage, because we are all pretending we are real world race drivers.

In my opinion the tire pressures being SO important in ACC kills the fun quite a bit. Also the force feedback on iracing is objectively better (yes the 60hz is worse than the ACC 400hz) iRacing doesn't have all those added in effects like ACC and many other games. That is because you don't feel it in real life! These extra effects are added in to make it a bit easier but therefore are unrealistic. Also i agree with Dan's argument about the graphics. iRacing is way more natural and especially the movement of the cars is amazing. In replays you can see every tiny move the car makes while in most other sims the cars look a bit floaty and not so lively

From what I am getting from this video is AAC is closer to an arcade Sim. Multiple people have said AAC cars easier to handle. But is the car that easy to handle in real life? I mean he pretty much opened up with “you don’t know what’s real so who cares.”

i do prefer the colors and the replay looks of iracing over ACC but everything else i like more in ACC. its just me and these are my positives in ACC over iracing 1) graphics 2) sounds 3) ffb+physics 4) value, bang for buck i am well aware that other people feel different about these points and its totally fine we are all simracers after all so as long as we play our sims i really dont care for either game to be THE absolute king. its cool to have a choice to fit for all tastes.

Iracing is more rewarding due to the score system and safety rating. In ACC you race for nothing. Other than that GT3 is only 1 of all the series you can drive in iracing. Both are great games!

How do we get kunos to give us a more structured, goal orientated online system?
@brotakul

Historically, Kunos relied on community and modders to develop specific areas of their game's experience. And while with ACC and it's licensing this meant modders could not add any additional in-game content such as cars or tracks, solutions like The Sim Grid, Low Fuel Motorsport and simracing.gp stepped up to offer a more comprehensive experience of the open online racing, in addition to the more standard league racing. Given the amount of effort already put into these services, just like SRS did with AC1 and now RaceU continues to do at some extent, I don't think Kunos will try to compete in this area. And it's been 3 years since the game was launched and the development seems to slow down constantly as ACC reached a decent maturity level, so it's really too late for them to do anything about it that they didn't account for in the original project plan. At this point Kunos probably starts shifting the focus on the development of AC2 behind closed doors as the new game is announced to be released in 2024, which makes it even less probable that Kunos would make any major changes or new feature implementations in ACC in the future. For what is worth, ACC as it stands right now, is the final product that may only receive minor patches and bug fixes in the near future, until AC2 hits the shelves. That's at least my take on the matter.

Good comparison but I think you should put weight on each category, for example online should have more than 1 point at least 2 or 3. Audio like 1 or less, physics 3 to 4. In this scenario the out come will be practical

you are too gentle to iRacing. The only thing which is good is the online races and ranking system. The rest is outdated, way too expensive plus you have to pay a subscription fee. With all that you should be on top in every aspect. But instead it fails in terms of graphics, sounds, cars, handling (tires). And omg this UI :p it was already outdated in 2008^^. Also too much wannabe world champions ruin the experience....

IRacing annoys the hell out of me because you buy all the content you need and because of the price paid you feel the need to spend more time playing to get your money's worth. It's at this point it stops being fun, then next season starts you need more content plus subscription fee. I own lots of content but decided I was just throwing more money all the time to the point where you have to keep up subscriptions or lose content I've already paid for, in the end I just cut my losses and was elated when LFM started up.

I used to race ACC for a while. Really enjoyed it and found the racing to be good. Then I gave iRacing a go and I also have fun there. In the end I don't have much time so can only race one sim and that for me is iRacing. + I love the way the cars handle in iRacing. There's something about the tyres which feels very rF2 like. They're good in ACC too, but subjectively I do prefer the 911 GT3R in iRacing to the one in ACC. + When I finished a race in ACC (I had some good races there) I'd be let down by a feeling that it doesn't matter. For whatever reason, in iRacing I feel more achievement for placing well and it feels like it matters more. + I like that I get to race GT3 cars on more circuits. ACC has a good selection and some tracks that I'm gutted don't exist in iRacing (Misano, Kyalami..). But I just did a 40 minute race at sunset at Road Atlanta last night in the 911 and had a load of fun. + I like the 12 week seasons in iRacing and how you're at the same track for a week before moving to the next. Feels sort of like real racing. Rather than just using matchmaking to dump you into a server that is likely to be Spa or Monza. - The cost of iRacing rapes my wallet. With 2 small kids I have very little disposable income and iRacing hogs most of it. I get that they are an American company with American consumption needs. But bloody hell do they seem greedy at times. How do Kunos put in so much work and only charge us like £25 in a sale? iRacing costs me about £70 every 3 months and that's me being careful with the content I buy. - For whatever reason iRacing lacks the proximity sensor helicorsa thing. Really lets it down as some battles that would be door to door in ACC end up being 2 cars carefully leaving 20ft space between in iRacing. Or just crashing into each other like idiots.

what wheelbase do you have? because iRacing has the worst FFB model of all
@layingblacklines

@@fan2hd277 CSR Elite. The iRacing FFB model is pretty simple really, just like the model R3E have recently moved to. It's transparently letting you feel what the tyres are doing. So the reason iRacing feels different to R3E is because the tyre models themselves feel different. The iRacing tyre model is pretty decent these days. I played it years ago and honestly it was worse than Forza motorsport. But these days it's probably a step above rF2. Between ACC and iRacing it's sort of subjective as iRacing has the better tyres, but ACC has better aero, chassis and electronics. When did you last try iRacing?

@@layingblacklines i tried it after 6 months last week. It was like skiing on ice as always. Hitting a curb with the 488 is still hot. I was asking about the wheel because I had a CSW 2.5 and now a Simucube 2 Pro and its night and day and i guarantee you the FFB in iRacing is really bad compared to Raceroom and RF2. ACC is ok but not on par with the 2 other sims. Adding irFFB adds latency which is not ideal. Currently I‘m giving AMS2 a try and its a blast in VR. FFB is Ok but the cars feel too exited on track still room for improvement but i was very surprised.

@@fan2hd277 Yeah I don't use irFFB and my wheel only makes about 3Nm. It's the old Forza CSR, not a modern CSL which people sometimes confuse it for. I keep hearing iRacing is meant to come into it's own with a DD wheel so it's interesting you say the opposite. As a whole I think iRacing is the best game. But in terms of driving there is something about raceroom that I really like. Something 'quick' feeling about it. Where with iRacing your steering movements are quite smooth and slow, you sometimes have to work the wheel a little bit in R3E as you feel it at the edge of traction. Had some good fun in rF2 as well, but the rest of the game puts me off. iRacing to me handles very well these days and I'm really into the online racing there.

They haven’t even given ACC an update in 2 months and iRacing updates every week; a game that came out in 2008. I know Kunos is much smaller compared to iRacing devs but their online structure makes it busy online every single day where events rotate periodically, as where ACC you have to setup most of the leagues and lobbies such as CPs you race in.
