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

Why did i get a caution sign and "AI in control" during an online race???

What do I look like, a doctor?

 

[BrandonW77]

It worked but I want to put snow in Texas on the short infield track and it won't let me lol

Well, it generally doesn't snow in Texas. Not sure if that has anything to do with it though.

Why doesn't a frog have wings? Cuz' he sure wouldn't bump his butt a hoppin' if he had some wings now, would he?

**** sorry.. this isnt webmd..

We have to go back!!

Not Penny's boat.

Had a very tight Group C race at Brands Hatch. It was dry for the most part, but the last ~12 laps had some Light Rain. What I found interesting was that the first sector and a half were decently dry, but Sector 2 and especially 3 were much wetter. The final right turn was scary fun because of how much more rain accumulated there. Does anyone know if uneven precipitation like this is a feature, or a bug? I really liked it.

I think its Live Track 3.0. might be wrong.

Just did my first online race I was the only Trackday A car there so it was a easy win

Been explained multiple times over. This is live track 3.0 - The rain clouds form and roll across the track instead of rain just turning on across the whole track.

This is live track 3.0 - The rain clouds form and roll across the track instead of rain just turning on across the whole track.

And on top of that, the deposited water is subject to gravity so it flows to lower parts of the track and puddles are formed organically. 👍 It's amazing really.

Smoking the tires

 

[DesertPenguin]

North American East Coast - Lobby Open!

Renault R.S.01 at Sugo. 5 min qualy, 10 min races. Weather set to Light Cloud - Random (sync to race) so half clear and half random. All subject to change as I want or if no one shows up I'll just abandon it.

 

[RomKnight]

The smoke is a known bug.
----
Yes it can rain one different parts of the track as the clouds are also dynamic and there's fluids physics so even evaporation and wetness are dynamic on top of gravity already mentioned. Cars and the amount of them as well as ambient/track temp affect the evaporation too.

Wind even affects the droplets in the windscreen (and banners/flags) and ofc, car's aero. Direction and strength dictate how.

Hope it doesn't get removed Cause its a pretty cool effect

 

[RomKnight]

No no.
Guess I misunderstood you.

There's a known bug that makes the tyres smoke too soon. Tyres smoke is OK, just not when there's no reason for it.

In any case, the one I'm mentioning is known.

/edit
And looking better at the gifs it seems that's the case there.

Yeah I didn't think I should be dong an impression of a sky writer plane when coming through the Parabolica at Monza.

Finally started career mode last night And after a long night and two boring series later i finally unlocked the McLaren proving ground

Edit

Alright

And i unlocked the GTR? Not sure why since all the cars are already unlocked

 

[Chad151515]

Does anyone else notice that at Indy in the IndyCar online there's no tow. We were practicing for our Indy 500 in a few weeks and we couldn't draft behind a car. Both cars gained speed but the following car wasn't increasing enough speed to make a pass.

I noticed that as well. I'm 90% complete with the trophies and this morning as I'm finishing up career I'm unlocking cars that I've driven weeks ago.

Let me say something about PCARS 2:

We should have a meme for Ben Collins as the "Overly concerned race engineer". Here's an example:

1 hour race at Snetterton, Multi-Class with GTE, GT3, GT4 (my class) and GT5.

Ben: "Alright, you're putting in some consistent lap-times but we need to find some pace! Let's push hard!"

Me: "Push hard? Let me see: leading my class with an over 1:30 gap to second place and no scheduled pit-stops. Why push? Oh well, I guess I'll shave off a few tenths." *Proceeds to set 2 new personal bests*

Ben: "Good, consistent pace! We just need a little more now! Come on, dig deep!"

Me: "What do you want me to do Ben?! Go after the GT3s?!" *Continues driving and does a lap 2.1 second off personal best due to passing traffic*

Ben: "You're falling off the pace! Come on! Everyone is rooting for you!"

Me: "Jesus Christ Ben! It was just some traffic! I'm not passing out or anything!"

Not enough draft in any of the cars for me. Perhaps it's realistic that way.

 

[DesertPenguin]

Anyone in North America interested in racing? I like doing quick races. 5 minute qualy, 10 minute races.

Same deal at Daytona. There's no slingshot drafting at all.

Indy should have a draft though. Still a blast but I wish you could get a better tow.

Yes I agree.

A month later how many miles do you have with you're most driven car?

 

[Cloudy]

Finally picked up PCars 2 today, hopefully this one's better than part 1. If not, this time I can refund it.

 

[Chikane_GTR]

 

[Jezza819]

A month later how many miles do you have with you're most driven car?

Ligier P2 Nissan 342 miles.

 

[05XR8]

A month later how many miles do you have with you're most driven car?

Renault TCR: 622 miles

 

[crowhop]

A month later how many miles do you have with you're most driven car?

Averaging a measly 68.8 MPH.

League racing has a way of piling up the miles.
