Project CARS 2 General Discussion Thread - Out Now on PS4/XB1/PC

This was amazing. The water persisted off line for a long time after the rain stopped. Very cool! I hope we can see a video of the localized weather. A helicopter view of the rain coming in at a couple corners and progressively reaching across the track.

Yeah, it's good but surely it's not as good as cars moving in scapes!!!! /sarcasm

What do you mean it was well wrought 4 years of devs time

When track and air temperatures would be low after a rain shower, that wouldn't be a surprise in real life. Although, it's a relative surprise in game considering that's never been done dynamically in game before. (Only other I can think of is F1 2011 where you also saw it visually.)

I'm not complaining or thinking it's unrealistic. It's very welcome!

Of course. I'm not assuming that's the case at all.

Ive heard there are driver swaps die online in the game. Have i been lied too or is it true?

Not on release. Pretty sure it's coming in an update.

 

[SRAIKKONEN]

Anyone found any le mans related stuff yet? Enjoying work being dead so I can watch it

Depends on where you are racing. Rain does not necessarily result in cooling. As someone living in southern Ontario, Canada (where we get sub tropical climate in summer) I can assure you that is not always the case. It may cool the track by 1 or 2 degrees celsius, but the increased humidity leads to a much warmer ambient temperature (humidex).

@IanBell stated in the Q&A that online driver swaps would be coming soon after release in a "free patch". Not sure what "soon after release" means though.

The full on co-op mode however will not happen (I was never clear on what that was anyways).

Reading someone from Canada complain about the heat...

Well, isn't that just adorable.

Does anyone have an idea when these stupid manufactures will let game developers show off full damage on the cars. Im not saying they have to be on fire but it would make for realistic damage in games without someone having to be on pc using a bunch of 🤬 mods

I hope te offline "Driver Swap" would also be added Like offline multiplayer Hot Seat type.

It is stupid particularly when in the real world they let them race and are often involved in crashes which result in real damage!

You're welcome to come and try it out... 95+ degrees farenheit with 90%+ humidity with a cloudless sky....

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Some good news for those hoping for better physics.

Dude, I'm from ALABAMA.

I lived there 30 years. I am not doubting the heat there. But your definition of hot may jive with my definition of hot.

Excellent video and very much chimes with my thoughts on the game. Very interesting to here that it looks so good on PS4. He said it was comparable to GTS.

Yeah, well, just like your adorable idea of cold

P.S. Don't forget... We Canadians are all homeless 6 months of the year..... Every time our igloos melt....

Project Cars 2 Physics closest to real live according to Madeline

3 months waiting just 3 long months

[Pigmachine]

I love the start of the Renault clio video!! Where the rear left tyre is coming off the rim because the amount of load on the tyre! Now that is attention to detail.

EDIT: or is that just me and I'm just dreaming?

And note the dates in the videos, not just when they were uploaded

That'd be "SMSoon" by @Satco1066, not Kaz "soon".

SMSoon relates to Slightly Mad Studios. Soon makes you slightly mad when Kaz says it.

 

[05XR8]

Indeed.

I think at this stage in physics.

i have been waiting for this level, since the 80's and nothing has pushed the barrier until now! I am currently 39 and glad, that I made a decision 2 years ago to buy Project CARS Gold. I did some revisiting of the ffb recently in PC 1 and appreciate the way they were heading with the title. You can feel tire flex in PC 1, but the physics were still wrong. But still better feeling to me than other sims. I hope you guys caught the part of the inside sim racing video, ffb can be configured to be adjusted from the wheel.

delete you are right

 

[Bealdor]

I thought that was car tuning from the wheel?

You can do both.

There is quite a bit you can do from the wheel.

 

[GTsimms]

Thanks for your reply. Everyone, it starts at 6:09 in the video!
