What a piece of scheet game!!. Had it for over 3 years on my steam library, never been able to play it because it would crash before the race loaded. I installed it again today and it finally worked!!! yay: but no FFB on my g29. Tried online guides and wasted over 2h trying to fix this :poop: of a game but it was just a waste of my precious Ducking time. Devs already left this game long ago for LeHomo game. RUN AWAY FROM THIS GAME

When I bought this game a while back, I didn't know how it worked, and I asked for a refund. I decided to buy it again, and at first I hated it. After I learned how to mess with the graphics, the controls, the gameplay, and how to upload all the free cars and tracks, I REALLY started liking this game. It just sucks having to go through all of that to enjoy the game. The game is set up in a hardcore type of setting. Once I found where I can enjoy the game and be challenged, I started looking forward to playing it. I can upload my settings if anybody wants to see them.

If you can get it on sale, totally recommend it. While the game is no longer supported by the dev, and there is lots of DLC, there are also lots of great mods on the community workshop, and this is one of the best sims I've played.

Really quality sim racing game. I was skeptical thinking it was a sim-cade type game but it is very high quality graphics, physics and loads of active online servers to join. Not to mention there is a ton of no-cost mods for it. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a high level racing sim game.

An amazing experience in VR with a FF wheel.
Very immersive and runs well.
The visuals hold up even to this day and the modding keeps it going.

I didn't pay a lot for it since it was on a discount, but you're basically buying just the engine here, and all the cars and tracks are in payable DLCs.
Needless to say, I don't like this sort of business model, so this gets a "thumbs down" from me, regardless how good of a sim it is.
