About Monte Carlo

[Marius]

Dear Codies,

Lovely visuals. A step up from DR1. Feels a tad slower than. The ice and snow are well executed. Really slippy. No more pewpew, but slowly and steady with 50 - 70 kmh. That's rallying too. Also ice and snow patches are dangerous.

If only the FFB had some more detail the surface's wouldn't be so boring to drive.

Probably the best track in whole DR2. Because it feels like rallying. Slow, fast, slippy, dangerous, antipication.

Yours,

Ivy.

The Snow physics is really good though

I think Codies simply didn't create snowy-weather (DR1 has snow in Montecarlo and Sweden, not rain!), so: only dry stages at Monte, in DR2!

Downloading the update right now...., but that would be a shame if there is no snow option at all.
Seriously i need a place with falling snow flakes in this game.

There is light snow weather, just checked it in custom championship

Thank for your feedback! As we've stated, we're still looking into the FFB - but glad that you're enjoying the experience of Monte Carlo otherwise.

thanks Christina for keeping us posted. I'm sure you guys in public relations at CM HQ are sick of all the FFB comments everywhere by now

Monte Carlo was my least favourite location in DR so I reluctantly gave it a try in DR2.0
The tarmac parts I still don't particularly enjoy but the ice & snow sections are so much fun. Can't wait for Sweden now 😀

Yesss! Monte carlo is EPIC! Cant wait for GERMANY and Sweden. I hope in season 2 they will add FINLAND, WALES and GREECE.

I liked Monte Carlo in DR1, but I absolutely love it now. Epic.

Automatic transmission seems to have some issues though.
Been driving the Renault Alphine and whenever it is on something slippery it shifts up earlyer and to a to high gear, than dropping gears because the RPM is to low for the actuall speed your driving if the car somewhat grips again.
Hope that makes any sense..

Aside of that Monte Carlo looks sweet, and its crashwallhalla...
To tired perhaps...

Monte Carlo seems to be the first country with mixed surface conditions. O.o

When i started the first Monte Carlo stage i felt DR feeling again.
I am loving the tracks character, not the DR2.0 tracks the look al similar. But here on Monte Carlo i have again this great feeling every tracks was handmade corner after corner.

Thanks for bringing back this great feeling. But the sad side is that all tracks could have been the same quality like this.

Codies this is what the people want and what they expect from you and of course that why the people love what you did in Dirt Rally for them.

i hope more or better all tracks from DR come to DR2.0. But to be honest then i qould stop playing the DR2.0 tracks and only play the remakes.

Tryed it with H2 RWD and BMW E30... pleasure to drive with controller here.

To give some critics, those little snow turds and ice patches does not interact with suspension, it is just slippery but completely bump-less. this will not show on FFB whatever you do to it unless you give it bit of a hitbox. The whole monte surface is ultrasmooth for both tarmac with ice patches and the snow/ice part. Surface degradation seems to not be implemented, it could make the snowy part really lovely insane while ice patches would be mostly gone in the lower sections.

Pacenotes seem better than anywhere else in DR2, but it has a lot of tightens that ddoes not tighten again.

Good find.

One can only pray this is the case and we don't receive RallyX tracks instead :(

I tested between DR1 and DR2 using the 95 Impreza.

The biggest difference was the grip on snow, the Impreza in DR1 had really good traction on the snow/ice and the patches of ice on the clear tarmac sections didn't really affect the car. In DR2 the small patches of ice are dangerous enough that you want to avoid them sometimes and take the wide line to avoid slipping.

In DR1 the old RWD cars were super slippy on the Snow/Ice at Monte Carlo, in DR2 the Subaru was also extremely slippery. Tested the Soft tyres vs Winter tyres in DR2 and was gaining massive speed on the tarmac using Softs (as fast/faster than DR1) but any touch of ice and the car has zero grip and just slides off the road, resulted in an overall slower time by the end (compared to Winter tyres which have more grip on Snow/Ice).

At Pra d'Alart I ran a 7:24 in the Impreza, not pushing hard or particularly fast, jumped into DR1 and did a 7:14, but that also included some bumps, a journey off the track (reset) and a damaged car at the end because I drove carelessly... DR1 is probably 20-30 seconds faster at a guess, pretty much entirely due to extra grip on ice/snow in that particular car.

we will have probably 3 more rally tracks, at 99% sure, but we don't know if we will have a season 3 DLC, it means deluxe owners should pay too, I vote for this, a DLC3 with all DR1 locations

[its game over man game over]

credit were it's due you have done ♥♥♥♥ hot job there codies
