Hey all,

Just a quick question to work out what sims we’re all using here.

Yes, I know they’re not all technically sims, and that some of them are simcade, and some are arguably arcade. You know that’s not what this is about haha!

Yes, it’s also very PC centric. Mainly because I only have a PC, but it seems that most sim racers are on PC too.

iRacing is my main and then AC for tracks I can’t try out on iRacing. I have RF2 and AMS2 but I don’t ever really play them with no DLC.

I’d love to try iRacing, but the cost puts me off for the time I can dedicate to racing.

There are often very cheap deals for new subs for a few months, and if you love it you can resub on black Friday for a discount also.

I’ve definitely spent a lot more on it now, but I also took a loooong time to spend anything more than the sub price. And now there’s even more base content than when I was new. I was happy racing the mx5 for ages before being tempted into any purchases. Now you got those, GR86, Vees, FF1600 and more, all great cars. Plus oval stuff

I totally get that; but, for me, the cost is worth it because when I get that 90 minute chunk of free time, I can sit down and within 15 minutes be in a competitive multiplayer race with high quality cars 24x7.

Never thought of it like that. I have been racing on ACC in the LFM leagues, but I would like something other than GT3 cars to race in.

ACC + Dirt Rally 2

Mostly using ACC and finding races on LFM. Would love to play more Automobilista 2 but don’t know anything like LFM for it and multiplayer seems a bit dead.

I own quite a few, AC ACC AMS1 AMS2 RF2 BeamNG Raceroom Dirt2.0

But I basically just play Raceroom, with a tiny bit of AMS2 & Dirt2.0 thrown in, but I am a league racer almost exclusively so the low multiplayer numbers are irrelevant for me.

Over lockdown, I played a lot of rFactor 2. I’m not sure how accurate the physics and tyre models are in reality, since there are a lot of hacky tricks you can pull with the driving style and car setup that wouldn’t work in reality, but the force feedback was always very communicative and fun to drive.
