First impressions for me is the racing is really good. Cars feel much weightier than in FM7. you can really feel the weight shift when you take chicanes or break sharply. Very impressed.
I think people won't like the new car upgrade system but it doesn't bother me at all, so far.

Game is bringing my old pc to it's knees. Spending most my time fiddling with the graphic settings to get a decent look and playing game. Set it to 30 fps until I figure out my sweet spot. Just had a crash to desktop when setting the scaling % 1'st race results. edit 3 crash to desktops now. Need to find my sweet spot in the graphic settings then leave it. Every time I touch the resolution scaling (well not every time. I ctd). I know my system is old but really. Horizon plays great with settings cranked up. This is a whole different story. Guess I need to contemplate a driver update for my video card.

Yeah, it's a fantastic circuit. When you finish your qualifying races you'll get given a safety rating and hopefully see less of those guys lol

Got a wheel, seat and 6 hrs of game play today. Love it so far mostly career and a few rivals. They put sport tires on z06. Man it was hard to drive.

After watching a Digital Foundry video on the graphic settings near the end of my internetting yesterday I learned some things about the in game settings. Was eager to try them out this morning.
So I set things according to how they describe what each does.
I'm now getting a decent image (wish there was a way to turn off the TAA or whatever their AA mode is, has to be a config file to edit somewhere, hope someone comes up with a solution. Not a fan of this particular aa mode) and nearly a solid 60 frames. Think I can milk out the remainder few frames to reach a steady 60 fps using my Nvidea control panel.
Will have a nice run on the game later on. Still 5:20 am here an not wanting to wake up the house. (I'm the only idiot here who gets up at 2:30 am after an hour sleep. lol)

I actually don't mind TAA in most games in 4K native it generally looks good most of the time. I think I will be using an upscaler as I will be wanting to turn on Ray Tracing for this one and the game looks fantastic. Watched some of Craig's video, I will be downloading and playing the game this weekend.

I think people won't like the new car upgrade system but it doesn't bother me at all, so far. Been lazy with the upgrade system so far and just banged the auto button. Away for footie up in Cov this weekend so the online will have to wait. Went far enough in to grab the Civic without doing anything!

Craig / Hendomedes Just had a quick look at your stream and it looks a lot of fun. No idea what you were saying. Perhaps we can have subtitles? 🤣
