Well here are my HONEST impressions of this ARCA "sim". I received this yesterday, installed it, and ran for about 6-7 hours at Milwaukee. Now don't stop reading after I say this, but it was actually pretty fun at Milwaukee, not quite as good as N2003, but still a lot of fun. I then tried Salem for a few laps and noticed that the car bottomed out so bad so I raised the springs all the way up, ride height all the way up, and it was still bottoming out all the way through the turns. So after some fooling around the only way to get around the track was to run the high line. Even then the car just felt like it was on ice and was just completely no control in the car at all.

So I log in today and run some more laps and decide to try Daytona. First that track looks like the Yellow line is drawn by a kindergartener. The line in the tri oval is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to follow, I don't even know how anyone could run side by side it's so bad. On top of the bad track, there are almost no good ways to adjust the way the car drives. I loosened the car up as much as I possibly could and the car was still plowing the RF tire off the turns. The reasoning for this is they squeezed ALL of the setup parameters of the car setup so theres absolutely no way to make the car any faster, or drive fairly decent.

So I tried Salem again today too, and still the same stupid problem there. I surely can't imagine how anyone could run decent laps at that place, let alone run side by side without wrecking. I know I cant be that bad of a driver and I couldnt even begin to imagine how beginners could drive that track.

I also tried Kansas for about 6 laps and parked it. Track felt pretty decent, but in the 6 laps it felt like too much grip.

Last thing I'll add is that the setup adjustments do almost nothing at all. I tested Milwaukee for quite a while, got in the 29.7s(a few high .6s in race trim) and capped out within a few hours. I totally went insane trying to see if there were any setup "tricks" and there arent any. I went from 650 lbs on the rr spring to 2050(the max) and the car got just a little bit looser, but it was still drivable and still ran 29.7s. The biggest adjustment in the whole garage is WEDGE. Also whats the point in having brake adjustments if you can run those lap times not braking at all at a track which you should be braking very hard?

I'll stop here but didnt go into detail about a lot of other stuff either, including everything being exactly like RFactor. Call it ARCA Factor?

немного изменен головной интерфейс, но там даже звук в меню такой же как и в рФ, и тахометр в игре.
