ARCA Sim Racing Review by Shaun Cole of SRT

[motorcitymizfit]

where can we get this

[bonobo80]

So the ARCA programmers were three years ahead than Kaemmer-iRacing New Tire Model?!

[Trippster1001]

Does it have Qualifiying offline?

[michaeldickens]

where did you get the digital gear display at 6:00?

[eastsidebeastkidx]

i heard there is gona be a fee for online and updates last time i heard they wanna keep things free i guess there word is shit.

[ade2007ade]

wow no single player career???

[DipperOnTheRun]

Yea because it's not a console game. It's a true sim. Nothing like NFS or anything like that, them aren't sim racers.. arca is a true sim.

[ade2007ade]

So true sims shouldn't have career mods? :|

[DipperOnTheRun]

No because career mode isn't apart of sim racing. Sims are made for strictly racing, no careers.

[ade2007ade]

What the hell? so what do drivers do in career? dance? :|

[slushomatic]

It wa smade to TRAIN REAL WORLD DRIVERS that was thier main focus then they decided to give it to the public and just made it to compliment online not offline, as you know we need to have our community grow not shrink.

[gameduct]

I tried it, but I thought the driving felt a bit too "floaty" like u slide on ice or something

[BwHarter]

can u get custom paint schemes? and if so how?

[simracingtonight]

You can paint your own.. Try Arca Sim Central for a variety of things related to this title

[bry517]

is there a spotter in this game?

Great review guys!

[TheSimFactory08]

Yes, there is a spotter, and a third party addon spotter to enhance the experience more.

[bibsywanks24]

so is this sim compatible with Windows 64 bit Pro or is it just for 32 bit?

[simracingtonight]

Should be either

[TheSimFactory08]

It is running on several 64 bit systems. SOme take a bit of work, others work with no issues.

[KYSwampFox51]

Why isnt the new leverage compatible with XP 64? I guess my CD which was purchased a year ago and compatible before the patch is now a great drink holder....

[simracr94]

it is, i think, maybe you installed the 32 bit version of the leverage, make sure you get the 64 bit version

[pipinirish88]

after a crash do you drive it under caution like nr2003

[pipinirish88]

can you drive your car on pace laps

[simracingtonight]

yes you can.. You drive it out of the garage area

[hammertime328]

do they make this for ps3?

[EarnhardtsYear08]

Hell no, dont get me wrong I love my ps3 but you cant match PC's with sims

[uiuoiujklj]

How is the offline restrictor plate racing?

[uiuoiujklj]

This works on Vista right?

[godale44]

Update after a week of owning: Netcode is probably the best I've ever seen. Usually I can't play games over my mobile broadband sprint usb device... not only could I play arca with it, I never saw one hint of lag. Also the small degree of wheel rotation issue is only on a select few tracks... I hadn't tested enough tracks. Most of the tracks I have to crank the wheel like there is no tomorrow. Awesome. Dega is one where I don't have to turn the wheel more than and inch tho.

[godale44]

Just got the digital download version yesterday.... the car models, sound, interior cockpits are really well done. The road course is fun. Overall fun game. They need to pretty up the road surface a little... and do something with the wheel rotation, it seems at some OVAL tracks I only have to move the wheel an inch in either direction to make the turn??? Why need a wide rotational wheel if you only turn it 5 degrees???. I think I saw an AI player named S. Cole. ;)!!!

[CrewSBigFun]

funny video lets chat

someone want to chat 1V

[hailtotheM]

how much would this whole device cost

[amc4994]

Can you only buy it online?

[simracingtonight]

As of now, yes

[Dyno247365]

Edgar Winter Group! Alright!!

[EarnhardtsYear08]

WOW screw EA Nascar 09, Im getting this

[nascarman98]

ur nutz

[motorheadtr3]

While it certainly takes a great setup to work on old tires, it seems extremely hard to overdrive. I mean... guys who notoriously use their stuff up in NR2003 still overdrive their corners and bone their line, slide all over the track, but have no real fall-off or effect because of it.

[godale44]

ie the amount of rotation is 11 o'clock to 1... needs to be 9 to 1.

[godale44]

The only problem I see... is on the cockpit view... when you are at full left in the middle of the turn - why does the display wheel only turn slightly left. In real stock car you would be cranked all the way to the right.

[godale44]

lol I mean left.

[SpeedDennis]

Great show guys! Hardcore sim racers realy need a broadcast like this to keep up to date in this super fast growing e-sport!

Ps, did u guys review UAZ Racing 4x4 ?

It's a realy sweet mud bashing sim :)

Take care, and keep on LFSing !!

[simracingtonight]

I'll have to check into that.. What platform is that for ??

Thanks for the compliments :-)

[SpeedDennis]

It's PC only. It's made by a rusian team and the FFB is really good. I never seen an off-road sim that shows sand moving away from the tires and leaving such tires tracks. :)

[NoxNoctisUmbra]

great review.. but im not into oval sims... did you guys do a review of LFS? i have rFactor, GT5p, GTR2, race 07, and waiting for that GTR expansion pack

I wonder how is LFS, i hear it has one of best physics for PC games.

[Eagle021001]

Well i own LFS and its a great sim, physics are good and take some getting used but once you do it is very enjoyable.

[simracingtonight]

I honestly think that LFS, Arca and GTR2 all have the best physics to date.. LFS has a really great feel to it, no doubt.. just lacks real tracks.
