I went to a sim racing center recently and couldn't run a proper lap for the life of me.
I don't have a rig at home. Therefore I play GT 7 on a controller and would claim that I am reasonably good. At least I am able to do reasonably fast and somewhat consistent laps.
Now at the sim racing center things are obviously different. Assetto Corsa, wheel and pedals, triple screen.
I was hot lapping a GT3 Huracan on Nürburgring GP track. I lost the car under breaking. I sometimes understeered into oblivion. I sometimes lost the rear. And the car felt like it was wobbling on ice all the time. I felt like the biggest racing noob on the planet.
Could anyone please give me a reality check here? The AC user interface was overwhelming. Therefore I have no idea about settings like TC or what not.
I was wondering whether GT 7 really is that far from reality and far too easy and a GT3 car is just that hard to control and yes I really am just bad? (I don't use assists in GT 7 and you would lose the rear there as well when flooring it in a GT 3 car but there I can handle it). Was AC and or the Lambo just terribly set up at the sim center I was racing at?
Is the learning curve for wheel and pedals that steep? Is it that hard to learn? I never felt comfortable with the pedals at any point. Never had any feel for how much throttle or breaking I was applying without eyeing the indicators on screen.
I would be glad for any pointers because I really like driving on a rig but my experience was no fun at all.
