It was the sound in ACC that did it for me. The interior sound of the cars in the other titles sounded like production cars. ACC cars sound like stripped down race cars, where you can hear the suspension engaging and gravel/rubber marbles striking the floor and wheel well while racing.

[torgsmith]

All 4 looked and sounded good. I will keep my eye on Rennsport as that progresses. I hope GT7 comes to PC. I have both ACC and Forza Motorsport and like both.

[ZuneGuy]

What both impresses me, and gives me assurances about the future is that AC Competitzione is the oldest out of all of them, and yet it still stands toe to toe with the latest. That gives me great comfort for their future titles, namely Assetto Corsa EVO.

[PSvsXboxVids]

To be honest, each one of these games look better than other 3 in specific sections. None of them look 100% best on everything. I like the colors in Assetto Corsa. I love the sun lighting in Forza. Looks very realistic. At 5:02 the right side looks very barren in ACC compared to the other 3. At 5:30 Rennsport has more details. GT7 looks very empty in areas where the other 3 have crowds. The carrousel looks better in ACC and Forza IMO.

Something about GT7's colours always impress me.

[jrtsy]

I’m just glad they added radar to FM8.

[BonkersFool]

GT7 in VR Is life changing I hope more simulators move to advance that way of racing

[abuelb]

FM looks the most authentic environment with realistic lighting, shadows and natural colors.💪

Forza Motorsport update 11 Logitech FFB:

Force Feedback adjustment is very personal.. it depends on each person's feeling.. I'll leave my adjustments here to try to help you.. I adjusted the steering wheel always following the telemetry graphs so as not to clip and lose information.. I tested it in all categories of cars so I didn't need to change the adjustment when changing cars.. If you need anything, I recommend changing the tuning of the car itself.. At the end of the tuning tab there is a specific adjustment for that car's steering wheel..

Logitech G920 + Xbox + Forza Motorsport

VIBRATION: 50
FORCE FEEDBACK: 200
SELF-ALIGNMENT: 25
MECHANICAL TRACE: 0
PNEUMATIC TRACK: 100
ASPHALT FEEL: 200
LOAD SENSITIVITY: 0
WHEEL DAMPING: 25
CENTER SPRING: 0
DYNAMIC DAMPING: 0
SENSITIVITY: 50
LINEARITY: 45

BRAKE OUTSIDE: 45 (adjustment to taste)

(I keep the rest of the settings as default)

Note: I recommend that when using Formula or Prototype cars, reduce the STEERING WHEEL LIMIT RANGE when tuning each car to 60% (adjustment available in the "TUNE CAR" tab)

Note2: installing tires, brakes and racing suspension make a lot of difference to the stability of the car..

speed up.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[DobieMeltfire]

We are getting to the point where they all look identical. It's like watching different times a day.

[juraj_b]

I’ve been on different tracks at different times with different vehicles, including Nordschleife and for some reason I really enjoy FM. The closest I’ve driven to GT3 car is m4CSL though lol

[Howlingbrown]

We live in a world where we get to appreciate 4..say again 4 (plus more) high quality racing games that just deliver. The gods are good

[wingmantommy]

In case of using same FOV setting value, do those games look same cockpit view?

[LuizCarmonaEditor]

so what was the conclusion of this comparison? is any of them better than the others?

[RichAbe]

Replace Rennsport with AMS2 in this comparison.

[pedromedina]

GT7's colors and contrast and Forza's illuination and surfaces are the best graphics, They all look amazing tho.

[captainunderpants]

How lucky are we to have so many versions of this awesome track?!

[francomattera]

the noise of the acc chassis seems too loud to me... equal to that of the engine which is strange.

[StraightFocusedPhotography]

I’ve been trying to get back into sim racing but have not swiped the charge card yet. To build up my motivation I’ve fired up Forza Motorsport 6 on my old barely used Xbox One. It has been fun. I also have AC on PC. It suck that I accidentally purchased the old instead of acc back in 2020.

Now of these 4 features in this video for visual I have to say Forza looks more realistic. I used to live 55min from the Nordscheife and Forza looks more similar. Skid marks, dirt, spills, etc makes it look more real. The sound is ok too. Grand Turismo 7 looks to perfect. It has a stunning look for a sim. If unreal “it’s a game” look is your thing go for it. Assetto is an awesome sim. The environment and interior noise is ultra realistic but I’d turn the sound down for all that noise. IMO it was a bit too much like riding in a Tesla model S Plaid through a construction zone with all the pebbles in the wheel wells.

Torn between AMS2, Forza Motorsport just so I can play with some friends and again it looks most real, or Race Room where I can spend about 100 plus buck and have all the cars. ACC is also a great option.

[tigerbalm]

AC still hangs even without latest effects like tree details and shadows...but still best FBB for me!
