I think they pitted because of the rain. I was on stock tires. Every other car always seems to have racing tires yet a lower PI. 1 lap to go and 7 cars in front of me pit to change to wets (I'm assuming) this is in the builders cup btw.

I just thought that was hilarious.
Depends how wet it was, but you can lose an astronomical amount of time with the wrong tires in wet conditions.

The optimization of FM8 on PC reminds me of the same type of s*** that FH3 was on PC, if you wanted 30fps or 60fps it wasn't an issue, pushing beyond 60fps was insanely hard with awful frametimes all over the place. They finally did CPU thread optimizations for that game and it ran great afterwards.

I think FM8 needs a similar treatment. For PC players, we want to play beyond 60fps, and doing that in this game equates to frametimes not being great and therefore not a smooth experience with an under utilized GPU. The game is severely CPU limited and hopefully they will alleviate that problem.

This is why I hesitate going PC for gaming.

Seems to be a cycle with these games now days.
It is so dumb.

- Added a feature nobody asked for and was obviously bad and then take 5 months to fix.
- Beta test FRR for years. Listen to none of the feedback. 5 months later still not fixed.


This is why I wonder if devs are actually games. A lot of the time they seem completely clueless.

I think the devs are gamers, management making these decisions, probably not so much.

What I don't get is why they are pushing the usual stuff to keep up engagement numbers when they aren't really selling a bunch of microtransactions. Games that are trying to get you into an in-game store do stuff like this for obvious reasons, but this was just annoying. I think they only sell the car pass or whatever it is called, and they don't need a "grindy" experience to sell that.

Holy smokes, that looks like some next level eye candy. There are times it just could be played off as real, well I kinda know what to look for so I can tell like “hey, there should be a shadow there” lol and that’s from the series s…is there raytracing in the replay with the series s?

Beautiful stuff
 
FPS and frame times are SIGNIFICANTLY improved on the PC version. I can actually dive back into the game without being annoyed.

The horrible CPU boundness of the game has been relieved, even with full RT.

Honestly have no idea if it has RT in replay mode.

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nordschleife!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Done Caterham in the rain at night (not ideal) old Beamer in Rivals (time to beat on first rival 15:30 seconds, pfft, did it in 8 something and not happy with my performance)

Next up Lexus LFA. This is the only thing I'm doing in FM from now on, I LOVE this track and want to master it to the best of my abilities.

So awesome. This is precisely what I was looking forward to what a fun track.
 
I've already posted this more than once, probably in this thread too,

But watch this. NUTS! Does the videogame capture this? Hell no but maybe about as good as it's going to get.

Super happy with this track!

Gotta get going on that Caterham, don't have race tires yet. I'll just keep grinding it on this track until I can get it absolutely dialed.

 
I have to give those drivers credit, I would never race that track in the dark, let alone RAIN and DARK.

That looks freaking amazing. I have never seen that track look so good.
It's really not that type of track. You want ideal conditions and just put up best lap with no other cars around.

I wouldn't enjoy driving this like a race with other cars around.

There's guys I watch on you tube that won't even take certain cars to this track because the potential to scrape their carbon fiber stuff isn't worth the risk/money.

Man I am so freakin' stoked with this!!!!!!!! Nerding out bigtime.
