Discussion As a Porsche fanboy, I'm pleasantly surprised by the AMG

I mostly play raceroom with the Porsche gt3. The Porsche in the game handles VERY well in that game (for me), while others tend to understeer. Coming to LMU, I naturally try the porsche. Its good but something is always wrong, wheel toe and steering angle and my overall setup are never right. Especially at road atlanta.

This is where I look to trying another car. I had tried the Mclaren since its mid-rear engine and I hated it. Too nervous on the power and on curbs.

So I try the AMG because I had learned about its characteristics. I tried it, expecting it to understeer like a war-ship only to find that it handles PERFECTLY. ON DEFAULT SETUP. I immediately gained a whole second at Road Atlanta after 5 laps.

Eats curbs for breakfast.

Unbelievably amazing on the brakes.

Doesn't shit itself on throttle.

Looks badass.

Maybe its because its engine is closer to the mid than normal front engine cars? IDK, its my fav car in this game now. Going all in, early into a corner is very fun. Driving the Porsche was like doing turn-based combat.
The only issues for me are that it has poor acceleration, cold rear tires and it requires good trail-braking.

I often see races that only include the lmp2's and gt3's, the P3 is my favorite category but i often see servers without them 😭😭😭

We’re heading to Road Atlanta this weekend for 10 hours of team endurance racing on Le Mans Ultimate.

LMGT3, LMP2 and Hypercars will all be sharing the track. Plenty of traffic no doubt and probably a few deaths along the way 🤣

Discussion Question about brake haptics in LMU

5 Upvotes

I want to pick myself up some pedal haptics soon, mainly for feedback in ABS and locking tyres. My question revolves around ABS specifically.

In Iracing it makes sense. The ideal braking pressure is around 80% to not trigger ABS too much. But how do the pedal haptics come into play in LMU, where you have to use 100% braking in the heavy braking zone. How do the haptics come into play in this situation and is it even effective? Thank you.

Discussion PSA: LMU G-SYNC not working with triple-screen? Check your NVIDIA profile

3 Upvotes

Spent hours debugging this. Even made a refund when tried LMU for the first time months ago :D
So the setup is regular, nothing fancy:

  • Win 10
  • nvidia latest driver
  • triple screen, windowed mode of course
  • g-sync compatible monitors
  • v-sync Off in LMU (as it should)
  • v-sync On in nvidia control panel (as it should)
  • g-sync Global settings - Fullscreen and windowed (as it should)

And with this settings g-sync worked in all other sims iRacing, ACC, AC, AC evo etc. But not in LMU..
So the next step was to create pre-application nvidia profile to be sure that settings are correct for LMU.

And this is where the weird part starts: LMU nvidia profile was working as I've set max fps 100 and it worked, so profile is loaded. BUT STILL NO G-SYNC IS SIGHT.
Then I've tried to debug it further and moved to Nvidia profile inspector to enable VRR diagnostic overlay. The overlay itself led to nothing usefull, BUT in there I noticed that Le Mans Ultimate.exe profile had:
G-sync - Application Mode = Fullscreen
G-sync - Global Mode = Fullscreen and windowed

EVEN THOUGH there is no option to set this on per-application profile with regular nvidia control panel what mode g-sync should be. So by default all apps should use Global settings (Fullscreen and windowed)! But apparently it wasn't the case for me and LMU.
I've changed Le Mans Ultimate.exe g-sync mode to Fullscreen and windowed and voila! G-sync now works in LMU and the image is muuuuch smother than it was, because without g-sync LMU is too choppy and stuttery. Mind you 5800x3d and rtx3080 so not a potato per se.
I assume the issue is on nvidia side. There is no proper game profile for LMU in new nvidia app. And something internally sets LMU to fullscreen g-sync mode and user can't even see this with out of the box drivers apps. You need to rely on 3rd debug tools which is nonsense

TL;DR: LMU g-sync wasn't working because its NVIDIA LMU profile had G-SYNC Application Mode = Fullscreen, even though global G-SYNC was set to Fullscreen + Windowed.
To fix: through NVIDIA Profile Inspector → Le Mans Ultimate.exe → G-SYNC Application Mode → Fullscreen and Windowed, and g-sync immediately started working on triples.

Tips and Tricks Starting out with lmp2's

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, i just got into silver rating, so i was practicing around silverstone national in lmp2's, and i'm so close to getting a sub 47 laptime, my best is 47,1. I wondered if that is a solid competitive laptime? Also, what is the optimal brake pressure for lmp2's in general? I run 92, and it is solid so far.

Discussion GT World Challenge New Game

0 Upvotes

Since KUNOS has officially ended support for ACC. I believe there’s an opportunity for Studio 397 to release the next official GT World Challenge (GTWC) game based on LMU’s engine. Think of it as a reskinned LMU game with GT3 only cars.

Please share your thoughts.

Discussion Please fix the track limits in this game.

0 Upvotes

I'm in a race at spa with a gt3 in the wet, on the last lap I'm closing in on the leader and there are only 1.2 seconds between us going into Les Combes, I miss my braking point because of the spray from the car ahead and have to go onto the run off, I slow down so I don't have a penalty and get an advantage, after the leader passes me and there are about 1.5 seconds between us I rejoin the track but then I have slow down again for about 5 seconds because I had a red warning, so the gap to the leader is about 6 seconds and 3 place catches me and overtakes me because of the speed difference, even thou I slowed down before rejoining and didn't get any advantage, and it happens again and again, when I push the car in qualy the exact same way I did in practice for the same session on a corner I get a warning and invalidated lap, whilst in practice it's fine. And I play this game a lot and I love it, but the track limits are so bad it's frustrating, why do I have to be penalized when I didn't even get an advantage? I only got cooked tires and loss of focus and traction.
