[PITS]Project International Touring Series presented by SNAIL SundaysPS4

With him on a controller I stand a chance. But now I've got hazard to watch out for. Maybe it was just PITS beginners luck.

He got quicker and more consistent with every lap. Maybe some questionable passing attempts, but generally quite clean. A great addition to the group. 👍

He took me at the end of the straight going into turn 4?which I thought was gonna be an impossible move but it went smoothly.
@FlipJ you should join us

I'm trying... I was working in the Olympics for about 3 weeks and my mom's internet sucks ass (in the room I was in). I did take my PS4, I built myself another race seat (f1/wec position!), but playing online was just impossible.
I'm back home (but the PS4 is in Rio) and will go back there on the 31st and then bring my stuff here. Then I'm back to my 60mbs connection and then I'll be joining you for sure.

I've been playing with Hazard until before the summer in a league he was running and he's a great guy, races hard and clean, and is a good organiser. I'm happy he found his way here.

@SGETI what happened in race 2?

Rust.

I started well, and within a few laps I was battling Mike and Alex for the top spot. Clean and close racing among the three of us. Picked my spots to pass and found myself in the lead. Then it happened, Rust, came out of the first turn slightly wide left and BAM! the rumble strips caught me, around i went into the right side barrier. Had to pit to fix damage. Even tho my mic was muted, I surprised you did not here me cursing when it happened.

Now remind me again why I decided to take a break? Can't remember. Fun times last night, thanks to all.

IMO it IS an impossible move.... If both parties are commited to defending/passing. Here in amateur hour it's much more reasonable when there can be substantial differences in driving abilities and let's face it... Nearly zero accountability. Out there in the real world, big big balls and a ton of confidence. I think that's one of the toughest turns to navigate in the game. Great fun!

Yea when I saw him dive in the braking zone I altered my line to have a clean exit and made it work. I'm excited so many good drivers joining. And if everyone keeps showing up We are gonna need KOQ. Actually that being said after points are released I will only be confirming the top 10 that are locked into the race and if we have more than 6 other drivers they will have to compete for the open slots. Such a great turnout. I love it. And I love the camaraderie with this group.

You are right. I'm not sure what happened I will get that fixed. Team points got messed up when I sorted the first sheet by points. Will fix when I get home.

 

[Zii1993]

Points have been fixed.

@Mike Lobban you told me there was a place to see tunes for all tracks. Where was that?

After seeing some of the reviews and feedback on Assetto Corsa I'm beginning to think the preorder was a mistake,no private online lobbies,wtf:censored:.And that's just the beginning.

 

[Zii1993]

Anyone on to run some laps?

Even if fantastic physics are the only good thing to come out if it, at least we get a taste of what we're missing compared to the PC folks. Hopefully their continuous development far surpasses that of PCARS.

I just did a simulation race with AI. I did Medium - Soft stints and by the end they were "knackered" as CrewChief put it. I did also have a couple slides here and there but I think they'd still be low without. Gonna try doing Medium on the left side and Soft on the right for both stints and see if that lasts longer/is more consistent. Or just Medium tires the whole race would be a safe bet.

Yes, I will race this week. I got some great FFB settings from NOVA today and it completely changed the road feel. And I love Brands Hatch so there's that. It was a good race with the AI using softs the whole time. A lot of them pitted a second time in the last 10 minutes of the race, and they were set to 75 so it's not like they were pushing the limit. Just some random data to ponder.

Just read this pcars vs asseto

Well... I've got 200+ hours of gameplay on project cars and I'm playing assetto corsa since 2 days now with the day one patch.

Physics, FFB and sounds.

I really liked the sounds of Pcars, but those of Assetto are a step above for me,and in online you don't hear the sound cuts like in Pcars.

Physics and FFB... It's more natural driving on assetto, catch-up a Drift is more natural and easy than in Pcars.
And FFB, yes,Pcars have a huge amount of options..but it isn't on the level of detail that the FFB hives in assetto, and the best off all that you don't need hours to configure it.

Tracks...

In quantity it's a win for project cars, it have a lot of good an nice tracks! But on the quality site those of Assetto are top thanks to the laser scan..it's just amazing how much detail they have and the FFB you receive from them.
They are also lot more accurate than those of project C.A.R.S..monza and nurburgring specially!

IU

For me another win for assetto... His IU is simple, intuitive and fast! The one of project is more complex.. But that's just an personal opinion.

AI

Till today i really liked the AI of project C.A.R.S (not in open wheel) they are fast and agresif.
But they cut the track limits to often.
The AI of Assetto isn't so agresif than those of Pcars, but they defend position and are also fighting back.. They don't cut the track and are really fast, but the should have some more mistakes in my opinion.
I realy like the AI of both games.

Carreer mode

The Carreer mode of project C.A.R.S try to replicate lot of real championships, and it's great! I really love the endurance races.
And it's a huge amount of hours to complete it.
Assetto's one is different.. With a medal system to unlock other races.. It's fun and then the special events are also challenging.
But i still have some preference on the Pcars Carreer.

Graphics..

Mmmmmm.. Yes,Assetto hasn't got the same level of graphics than Pcars.
But it have less motion blur making them more sharper, i find them good and in illumination i find assetto more realistic in day time.
Pcars is eye-catching and globally is better than assetto but those two points i put above i find them better in assetto.

Climate...

No doubts...here Pcars wins,assetto is only on dry surfaces.

Options...

In That point Pcars is better, it have the same of the PC version, UDP apps, seat and FoV settings, button mapping and go on.
In assetto the buttons are presets and FoV option are limited, not a real good HUD, no UDP apps..but it's just the beginning of the game, so sure there will things implanted and improved.

Damage...

Visual damage is a win for Pcars..
Mechanical damage... Mmmmmm i liked a bit more those of Assetto corsa.. It's less forgiving in 100% damage.. A very little touch already affects your aero.

Controller..
Mmmmmm, Best play the 2 games with a wheel, but the controller on assetto is lots better implemented..and easy to go fast on track with it.
The one of project C.A.R.S is way more complicated to find a global setting to enjoy driving with all the different types of cars.

Final thoughts...

For me the 2 games have good and bad things. But they combine well.
I realy recomend have the 2 games..
You want simulate a race with rain.. In the night and feeling a racing weekend.. You put Pcars on.

You want to Drift,enjoy driving, find track limits,improve your skills... And have also great races..All that with the best FFB i ever tried than you put assetto corsa on.

For the rest.... Assetto got les bugs and issues on day one than Pcars... No landmines, crashes, FFB issues..and go on.
The support in Pcars is on his end,and assetto just started on console with great things to come yet..

But.. If i really have to stay with one of the 2 games... I prefer assetto for his driving physics and FFB... They are really amazing.
And on controller it is also better.

We can only wait and see and hope

 

[Zii1993]

Mock race tonight around 9 est.

 

[Mike Lobban]

I'll be there. I haven't turned a lap for a couple o days.

 

[swjaxon]

Mock race tonight around 9 est.

I'll be there too,need some practice

 

[aerolite]

Will try to be there.
AC is dl'ing right now, third part saying will be finished by 8:30 this evening. Clicked on one of the dl'd parts and it says game not playable until midnight tonight. I guess today is DL day and the 30th when you can actually start.

 

[DesertPenguin09]

Yea, since the game comes out on Tuesday you can't "access" it until then. Fair enough I guess

I actually like this feature. You have 2 days to dl it (mine is doing it now, I hope, since I'm 750 kms away from it, but I took @swjaxon's advice on the auto download), so that when it's accessible, it's not a race to the servers with the corresponding error message deluge and angry postings on forums and etc...

I also ordered mine on Amazon back in April. Just opened email saying they could not process my payment. 🤬?? I checked and Amazon had my old credit card info to process payment. I have made numerous purchases since May with the new credit card on Amazon and is the preferred payment option.

If they had only checked their own preferred payment records I would also be playing this game tomorrow, yet as it stands I have to wait till Thursday.

That's some bullpoop... I get why it works out like that, but come on, man... Amazon should be able to tell that sort of thing. They have the due date, they have your exp date. 2+2

This is why I use Amazon gift cards on my account,don't have to give them my credit card info and gift cards don't expire
