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

[axeMaltesse]

Guys, have you tried cooperation in career mode so far?

 

[jake2013guy]

I didn't get the Deluxe or Day One Edition. Oh no, don't tell me I've been given the wrong copy!

I think you and I are in the same boat.

I ordered from ShopTo and expected to get the game with the Japanese Car Pack. I asked and they said how it "wasn't with that version."

Bought the season pass and forgot about it because the TCR cars and BMW are fun.

I may have encountered a bug.

The exact same thing happens in PCars 1, amazing.

I'm going to say it's not a bug. Although I might be wrong. Looks like an unintended feature to me. Wish SCs/VSCs was an unintended feature.

land mines are in, cool /s

And as it turned out, the boxed Limited Edition + Season pass was the cheapest way to buy all the content in the UK (£70, vs £75 for the digital deluxe).

I paid £35 for the game and £25 for the season pass, that =£60. Unless there's something I'm missing (which might be the case).

It's the suspension logic hitting some weird number with that crazy steering angle. Casey has been aware of that issue for a while now, so I wouldn't be surprise to see this fixed quite soon,

Not the same issue, no.

That's not a landmine.

Im still laughing at the @IanBell live stream with the Wine/Guitar/Hotel Calfornia...''EA can go **** themselves''

Yeah, that was a memorable one for sure

 

[TRGTspecialist]

14 hours later it's set to finish at 2am, and I'm not waiting until the morning

.......unless you're an eejit and decide to 'rest your eyes' for a few minutes just as the download finishes But a well-rested me at 7.30am on a Saturday isn't a bad way to start either.

I paid £35 for the game and £25 for the season pass, that =£60. Unless there's something I'm missing (which might be the case).

For a standard edition copy yeah? That wouldn't include the Japanese pack I think, which only came with the Limited/Collector/Ultra editions, or digital preorders.

Granted an extra £10 for 4 more cars isn't the best value, but that's how bad I wanted all the content and wanted it now

 

[Overdrive003]

I'm having a lot of fun driving all the different cars around all the track! However, I have noticed that the career is broken for me. If I skip to the end of qualifying, regardless of length, the AI (I have them at 85) set impossibly fast times. And if I wait until the end of the session, more then half the grid does times 4-5 seconds faster then everyone else. So, until that's fixed, I'm just gonna be driving around Sugo.

 

[bleeder]

Man...i miss the Rear Passenger Camera so much...

Was certainly good for replays, never drove much like that myself and I guess they thought no one else did either.

 

[paoloevans]

Has anyone done an endurance race yet? Reason i ask is that i have only done short career races where you dont have to pit. However when i pit in practice there is never an option to swap driver or change tyre compound?

I know you can preset pit stratergies but you can only set 1 as active. What if the weather changes mid race?

Can anyone tell me how we go about this?

Thanks all.

You need to open the the car management menu. Should be a direction on the D-Pad by default. You can then change strategy, choose a tyre, request a pit stop, etc.

IN-CAR MANAGEMENT

Project CARS 2 features a comprehensive In-Car Management system (ICM) which allows you to make dynamic adjustments to your car set-up (if available on your car), on-the-fly changes to pit strategy and toggle driver aids.

It uses an easy-to-navigate, hierarchal menu system that can be accessed with a single button click defined in your controller options and navigated using assignable D-Pad style controls.


• Close
Just press to the left to close the ICM menu.

• Brake Bias
Press to the left or right to decrease or increase brake bias levels.

• Fuel Map
Choose between different fuel maps if available.

• Request Pit Stop
Press to the right to request a pit-stop. Once active, you can use the ICM to cancel a pit-stop.

• Car Management
This sub-menu allows you to change the Stability Control, Traction Control and Anti-Lock Braking driver aid levels, plus the front and rear anti-roll bar settings (if available).

• Race Strategy
You can select between strategies if you have created custom pit strategies, or adjust a strategy on the fly: change tyre compound, refuelling levels or damage repair. You can also choose to swap to an AI driver at your next pit-stop.

I mapped the ICM to L3 on my wheel which popped it up, yet pressing it again doesn't close it, instead I have to select Close from the ICM menu itself, however I can't do this as I have mapped my X button to be Seat Up, therefore the ICM would never close. Bit of an oversight, so I just chose to not use it features at all. Does this mean I can't perform pit stops properly?

 

[Bjorn Lucas]

Does anybody know if we can shorten the qualifying times??
could not find a option.. only on or off ..

If you schedule a pit stop I think you should be ok but if you want to change pit stop strategy due to damage or change in weather then you would be struggling.

It's only 15 mins man!

 

[rono_thomas]

So is there anyway of knowing how long a race once the session is under way in multiplayer? PS4?

I haven't found one yet. It's a problem if you don't remember when trying to set fuel level!

Keep forgetting keep starting with a full tank!

 

[Scaff]

Some are 30, such at the Clio Cup, which is a pain and it needs fixing.

In other news I received a driving standards warning for this:



And this:



Any ideas why so I can prevent it?

Stop losing control of the car

Stop losing control of the car

Its the extra fuel

I've noticed that track limits, etc are quite harshly policed this time around but on balance I'd prefer that compared to being too lenient. Particularly for MP.

you can Close ICM manually or it will auto-close after 20-30 seconds. Your changes are saved inmediately upon change, dont worry about Closing the ICM

 

[HardRock]

And this:

To be honest, in this second video you did block the pit entrance for a while, as a result of leaving the track due to driver error. Not sure if there was any way you could have avoided the warning amidst the rules of the game however.

In the first video I don't think you deserved any warning (except for a discarded lap time). You made a mistake and then returned to the track safely on the sides, outside of the driving line.

I think the warning system is probably a little overzealous, rewarding absolutely clean driving above all else, but personally I don't mind this.

Totally agree, the warning system and track limits being harsh is the way to go, just need to get used to it. Makes looking for the edge every lap exciting.

Not sure about others experiences but I’ve found the multiplayer races a lot more pleasant to be involved with. So far zero first corner pile ups, dont recall being hit by anyone either.

Oh cool, didn't know that. Thanks!

There are a lot of improvments but how can you explain such graphic downgrade?
Try Barcelona with storm (in 4k), it looks like you are playing to Automobilista.

Pcars 3?
Or it is not made for 4K.
