    AMS 2 for me. YES, iRacing has the better physics and track selection, but along with the price, and the modding potential, it is better. The content that comes ALONG with the game is amazing, so many cars to choose from. iRacing is a money pit overrall, and AMS 2 will always be a better game for beginner/intermediate level racers and racers with lower budgets.

    AMS2 is where it's at for me. Followed by RF2 and then ACC. I do understand why most prefer IRacing, as online is what most people want to do. But as far as best Sim goes as an overall package, I find IRacing to be lacking in all other aspects except online racing. I do enjoy IRacing very much, but I don't think it's the top Sim as a whole.

      In the end, there is only on-line racing. Racing AI and hot-lapping get predictable and tedious. Campaign modes are too restrictive, and so easy just to quit a race and restart.
      Racing other humans is where it's at. Eventually, most will come to the same conclusion.

  • @LowBlow
    @LowBlow Год назад +3

    If you crank the AI in AMS 2 up to 115-120 and put them on low aggression you actually get very clean and hard racing. This also greatly placates their erraticness.

    I'm surprised you don't know what to do in AMS2. For me it's where I go to kick off whatever kind of casual race I like. Multiclass 1980s cars in variable conditions through the hills of Ibarra? Yes please! rF2 is now for LFM and I love it for that, but it requires a more focused frame of mind and is more constrained. For me it is a tie between those two, but rF2 has the edge because the racing is now so fun.

      I think it says more about me as much as anything else. I really prefer online racing, and for ai racing to have appeal I enjoy more structure and progression! It’s not that there’s a lack of content or variety - quite the opposite!

    If you’d have asked me the same question at various times over the past few months, I’d have probably given you four different answers! With the exception of AMS2, which I don’t own, the remaining four have all had spells as my favourite in 2022. I’d say, overall, iRacing just about edges it for me. But I do have a love-hate relationship with it. When it’s good, it’s peerless. When it’s bad, it’s the absolute pits! The only thing stopping me voting for rFactor 2 is the fact that I’ve only been racing it for the last month or so. But I’d say rF2 is in pole position for the start of 2023 for me 😃

      Generally agree with what you are saying. ACC is the one I find dropping off for me. It’s just, well,boring. Too stale. Looks nice and has good physics but I think iRacing’s latest GT3 update caught them up and just has more interesting driving to me. I keep rooting for Raceroom also but ever since the big update a little over a year ago I just can’t get on with it any longer. Sad as I used to love driving in that sim.

    Amazing how we interpret things differently: RF2 for me looks terrible & the FFB is all over the place, good tyre model though; RaceRoom is a good all-rounder, even the grainy graphics sometimes look good (think grey UK day); ACC is solid but of course limited to GT3/4 content though in those areas it's pretty much unmatched; AMS2 looks great & for me has the best FFB & feel plus extensive content. I don't own iRacing but it's clear it's in a league of its own for online. My top 3 are AMS2, RaceRoom & ACC with AC a close fourth....great content as usual from you :)

  • @SkywalkFPV
    @SkywalkFPV Год назад +1

    I believe that smooth and optimized VR should be the real key factor to take in count to consider 'the best sim' - 3 screens is not the way anymore, is too intensive on the pc and take up too much room.. VR is the most important piece of kit in a proper sim racing setup and not talking about them Quest models, but better go for HP Reverb G2 for example or better - The future is here now..

    • @deandoucette7206
      @deandoucette7206 Год назад

      Totally agree. There’s no way ACC should be ranked high because its VR support is awful. Raceroom and Automobilista 2 have fantastic support for VR. Also, hosting a private server is so easy in Raceroom and Automobilista 2.

    • @SkywalkFPV
      @SkywalkFPV Год назад

      ​@@deandoucette7206 Yeahh well raceroom has a good vr and some descent ranking system but is also feeling and looking very arcade like not so much sim but more fun for some casual vr time.. AMS 2 really is a joke for me and I do not like that at all.. I do prefer ACC over all racing sims no doubt, all laser engraved tracks and full community and mod support is on another level, also graphics and handling is just truly stunning if you know how to mod it right.. Also the racing experience itself is next to none and comes in very cheap, there is also dedicated 3rd party ranking systems online.. I also prefer Asetto corsa and Competizione over Iracing hands down for the overall experience.. And I had some great result with Asetto Corsa Vr to be honest and actually has more than plenty support in the mod content manager and can be tweaked like no other (not plug and play indeed) it did take some time dialing in, but once it is running stable, just was its own league.. Furthermore normal screen racing still is the most relaxing, since vr can run hot and a bit heavy, so even on normal monitors AC and ACC are also the most priceless polished quality sim experience with the most variety of tracks and cars that go into extreme detail and handling ect.. So without further details Asetto for the win!

    • @deandoucette7206
      @deandoucette7206 Год назад

      I raced in a private league in ACC on a single monitor for about 18 months. It’s a great looking sim and the handling is good. However, I grew bored of racing GT3 over and over again.
      I raced the original Assetto Corsa in a league for about 2 years. Loved the F1 racing in that title.
      Also did league racing in RF2. Loved the tire physics. Nothing compares to RF2’s tire physics.
      Automobilista 2 is fun for a quick pick-up race between friends. No dedicated server required and so many car choices. Unsure why you hate it so much. You never said.
      Raceroom is great in VR with my HP Reverb G2. Love, love, love the ‘90 FR series. It’s the early ‘90’s F1 category.
      When it comes down to it for me, the physics have to feel right, VR has to work well right out of the box, there has to be enough car series content to hold my interest, AI racing should be a fun challenge, and setting up a multiplayer race with friends should be simple.
      While my top choices to change, at this point my top choices are determined by the quality of the VR experience and so my favorites from 3rd to 1st are Assetto Corsa, Automobilista 2, and Raceroom.
      BTW, I did try iRacing and was underwhelmed.

    iRacing online and subscribers is far way ahead on any title, reason it will be number 1. IMHO rf2 along with LFM is going to attract a lot of players. Rf2 now knows what it has to do to it's own CS to compete in the online world, now it's up to them as it's always better IMHO to use minimal 3rd parties.

    iRacing was designed from the get to be a swriling money pit created to keep sucking the money out of your wallet. The graphics are child like, the cost is rediculous and even thier licencing has now been taken from them because everyone knows what a money pit it really is. I think the platform that you love depends upon what kind of racing that you enjoy. If you like formula cars then ACC is not going to be your bag. If you like cup cars and older racing ACC is not going to be your bag. But if you love GT3 racing you simply cannot get better than ACC when it comes to cost, graphics, realism, sound, and overall usability. Raceroom however I think will always be the best all around goto for all kinds of racing along with AC. AMS2 is great for graphics and those who have slower PC's but it's car selection and track selection along with its physics still has a way to go and RF2 as far as Im concerned is a heep all around and has been for years. Crap graphics, horible UI, and just an all around mess of a game that's been out for how long now? And thier last big event proves it. Can't wait for some new action from some new updated contenders that should be coming out this year. We need it. Thats my opinion... I know a lot of people won't agree but Im sure a few will. For what its worth.
