I think if I could remap the pad buttons to my liking 99% of my problems/bitching would stop. I'm not bad when forced to use triggers but I'd just like, in principle, for games to allow me to play the way I'm most comfortable. It's 2025 (still, just).

Anyway, done quite a few race weekends now, Mazda and GT4s, and it's a very addictive game, really enjoying it now. AI not that bad - set at 90, so it's generally me chasing them down, may be different if I were to ramp it to 100, but for now I'm learning tracks and pad controls (did i mention that already?) Also, turned damage off to make it more GT-like for now, with it enabled the slightest door-to-door brush has my bonnet/hood popping up, things like that, way OTT imo.
I am probably 10 hrs or so in, and I'm really beginning to like it, looking forward to moving to faster classes (though even in GT7 I never race SFs or Gr1s unless forced to, so I'm not expecting to ever enjoy the LMDHs here either, but no worries, I love most of the other classes and cannot wait for the GT500s and Aussie V8s to arrive).
It's increasingly looking like a good buy for me. But I want that remapping sorted, please.

Have S4 mentioned anything about controller mapping? I find it extremely odd that you cannot edit them. Or does it allow you to edit but nothing changes?
 
More time w MX5 at Lime Rock. A few tweaks on FF settings both car and wheel and its really enjoyable. The patch has improved AI awareness somewhat, tires warm a bit quicker but don’t overheat quite so fast and it felt pretty compelling. Sure lots of other nits and not yet into career but I’m not regretting buying it

It's clearly intended to be possible, there's a screen for it. Problem is, some of the buttons I want to remap (specifically square and circle) are control buttons for that screen (save and exit, iirc) so if you try to map them you either save what's there already or exit!!! The devs have somehow done the pre-mapping ok though, because those buttons already have functions that aren't save or exit (think square changes camera view, circle is gear up). I think it's probably just oversight/bad coding. But pretty unforgivable in a 2025 game that's not cheap.

It's been quite a while since I've seen any of his videos but I'm disappointed at what appears to me, to be a little sleight of hand. Let's explain to new people why it's important to warm up tires before you go hard

I feel there's a bit of a boys club in the simracing influencer space, they all gush on a few games that had pretty terrible/average launches, and when covering other games they just come across as very arrogant, lot of engagement farming etc.

The looking down upon games/players always rubbed me the wrong way, especially all the snide comments about FM in videos well after launch, Everytime it came up in Jimmy's sim racing stewards vids he always has a snide remark about FM, it just makes me not care for the elitism in the space, same thing about Davecam, he rightly got shat on for being elitist about LMU having a radar and bonnet cam. The simracing space is such a small niche genre, the last thing it needs is the people with the biggest audiences gatekeeping with their stupid takes.
