    I've managed 1:13 laps on super softs in one particular car that I'm not sharing the identity of. 🙂 Did some prep I can share though. I've tested a variety of cars at 15 laps with at least one lap in Hard tyres. Some cars will do 12 or 13 laps before needing fuel, some will do only 8 or 9. Super softs are useless after 5 or 6 laps. Pit stop for tyres and fuel is around 10 seconds added to lap time. Be very careful if you start with a soft tyre, as after switching to hard if you don't moderate your lines you'll make friends with the sand.

    Just to add, while I've only played a few hours, I like the game very much. I think it's very immersive and it goes at a fairly swift pace. Almost too quick. I'm playing on Hard difficulty so I'm save gaming fairly frequently too. I'm still focused on shooting but...using other means to my ends as well. Killing an android npc by hacking him and making him commit suicide is not something I ever thought I'd be doing in a game. For example. Really thought they'd manage 4k on the PS4 Pro, but as DF remind us, it was a similar story with Witcher 3 to begin with. Whether they will continue to work on fixing the PS4 version is another matter...

    The shooting feels good up until the moment you pull the trigger. Once you do it feels very arcadey. Hopefully it improves with better guns and perks...but I agree feels like the last deus ex and unsatisfying right now. I'm mostly looting everything in sight before each stage of each mission. There's plenty of ammo that way. Not had a single bug encounter so far, touching wood as I write that. Permission is granted to take that out of context. Looks great, Nvidia changed it's mind and decided on a mix of high and ultra after all. Getting 60 to 80 fps, mostly in the 60s.

    Just had an hour before sleepy phil went to beddy byes. The game looks amazing on ultra settings. Nvidia tried to suggest I use medium settings which I laughed at. With everything turned up I struggle to get above 50 frames but a mixture of high and ultra seems the sweet spot for me. I imagine with ray tracing it must look even better. Watched the Digital Foundry vid and they think the way ray tracing is used for lighting is the best they've ever seen. Nomad character to start with. I like the conversation options and the time limit to provide a response before the npc and conversation move on. My guy is taking no shit from the off. My car is a wreck but driving seems ok. That's all I'll say for now.

    @GrebothIndeed, Willow Springs international, looking at 15 laps with 5x tyres and 4x or 5x fuel. Any tyre in race and qualifying but must use hards for one lap minimum in race. Great write up by the way 🙂

    Youtubers are live streaming it already but I'm waiting for tonight. I too have been avoiding spoilers.

    They'll use it as the showpiece to sell the Xbox next Christmas when they might even have some stock🙂😅

    We'll probably do Willow Springs next week at Gr.3 as I think it's one where everyone has a chance to beat @Greboth It's very straightforward to drive but you cannot fuck up, not once, otherwise it's a one way trip to the shadow realm. I'll have a look at it today to see how many laps and how fuel and tyre choice can be used. I'm feeling adventurous. Sadistic, but yeah adventurous🙂 Any other requests?

    No whitelist, it uses the Expansion mod to a limited degree, so climbing is in, and the zombie count is a little lower I think, which is also handy. Let's sort out a day to jump on together, I'll be on it tomorrow night and then again at the weekend if that's any good!

    Get it installed asap😍

    Don't think I've updated my ppr yet, mostly chatting in Tommy's ppr🙂 I've started using the MGT Namalsk server as it has good loot and not too many other players. Anytime you wanna jump on just let me know. It's very cold so warm clothes and fire are first and foremost. I'll do a proper guide at some point this week as there's a lot going on in Namalsk.

    I've set up the races for tomorrow night. If there are any requests, from anyone, for a track or category, let me know. Gr.4 and Gr.3 this week, so hopefully we'll welcome @Spacedeck back🙂

    This week we can go for: Gr.4 Mount Panorama 3 laps, no fuel and tyre = Racing: Hard Gr.3 Laguna Seca 13 laps, fuel 2x and tyres 10x. Racing: Hard only. @Misneach_ if you can make a race on Tuesday, let me know what time you can be on, I'm sure you can manage on of the races🙂 If not, I'll look to set up a race on a Friday...

    I was discussing the reaction to yesterday's game with my fellow yids. Pundits complaining it was not a spectacle, was annoying as fuck. How Jamie Redknapp has a career as a pundit is a mystery to me, him and Merson should go open up a pub somewhere with Matt Le Tissier, they all belong together as miserable old men sitting around a pint of ale moaning about the youth of today. Souness too but he's Scottish so that's familiar territory for stereotyping, dour bastard that he is😁 I knew this was coming, they literally haven't the intelligence to think anything else. Liverpool will still win the big one I reckon.

    Not long to go now. I wonder how many don't realise it's an RPG and expect a futuristic GTA. So long as the shooting is good, I'm good.

    You're disagreeing with yourself there sunshine, no-one was saying that, there's some context to the statement. Try reading the article 😁

    I have pre-ordered this from GOG instead of Steam. It's DRM free and has some extra digital stuff. I've not used the GOG launcher for a proper game yet so I hope it pre-loads before launch on Wednesday night/Thursday morning.

    He's stated that there will be 20 Namalsk map vanilla servers available tonight, and then all the player run servers will be able to install it too. It's going to be cold and there's some helpful info below on staying warm...

    Watching a now 8 year old Frankie vid playing on Namalsk. Srsly cannot wait for tomorrow. There's a live stream at 6pm and then it drops at 8pm. You know this map was originally made from the ground up by a modder in his spare time. Bohemia were so impressed, they hired him. He is now the DayZ Lead designer and he has made Namalsk again, in his spare time, for free. I'll drop a link to the live stream under the Frankie vid. 6pm start time 3 December 2020
