Spoiler

Dont worry i'm also not a big fan of those pesky ferrari 488 gt cars

Something i noticed with the P1 GTR after completing the McLaren Proving grounds and completing all 3 McLaren events to unlock the P1 GTR.

Is the fact that the gauge in the display where it tells you how many kilometers you have travel doesn't restart?

Before completing all the McLaren stuff that gauge use to restart whenever you switch cars or turn the game off

This is what i mean

Makes a little weird now cause the miles i have driven the GTR are why more then what the kilometer gauge says now

Guess I'll try some more online sessions and see how it goes. If I get another session disconnected like that I might as well just give up on online and wait for a patch.

Following my previous post, I'm very disappointed.

My online experience has been awful. I'm not exaggerating when I say that 2 out of 3 races end up with some sort of bug... You know, races that already finished before starting, sending everyone to the pits for a penalty but then nothing happening, disconnections, etc...

The bugs are so weird and random that it's difficult to even explain them.
Not to mention the huge, annoying freezes that plague every other session...


At least I haven't lost 40 points (all at once) like the first time, but it's a waist of time as it is for me.

I seriously hate when this happens

I played Project Cars 2 this morning to continue my Group 5 series in career mode. After having some problems with steering sensitivity in my Monday Night Series race, I decided to change it up a little bit to make the driving a bit easier. I expected to get destroyed on Imola in the wet with my 935, but after starting 13th on the grid, I managed to win by 53 seconds. On 80% AI! Decreasing the sensitivity and softening the suspension was a masterstroke. After an 11th at Algarve and a DNF at Spa, this was a HUGE win for me. A demolition more like...

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

What got you into the car in the first place?

Where there is a P1, there is Chikane.

Anyone down to do some races tonight with this format?

 

[DesertPenguin]

Anyone?

Also, I find the main problem inherent with the online is that it's connecting people all over the world in the same lobby. If we had regions it would make things a lot better. Just to be able to stay in North America would keep lag down. East Coast to West Coast isn't that bad but East Coast to Brazil, UK, Germany, UAE, and Japan all at once is gonna be tough...

In Custom Lobbies, I don't really think this is a good idea in practice and some other solution would help more.

If they did Organised Races like GTS and iRacing, I wouldn't say that would be as much of a problem.

 

[DesertPenguin]

There's no reason not to. Look at Battlefield for example. Hell, it was a GT6 feature...

Is anywhere a tuning database like it is for PC1?

 

[Gr8_Lakes]

@IanBell , If a new patch is coming, and it addresses the online licenses, please reset everyone's license back to 1500. You owe us that. I've lost at least 240 points to races that I've joined, never got a chance to participate in, had to restart my PS4, only to find I took a 40 point hit. If the system is truly supposed to work, than it needs to be reset. Anyone that gained an advantage under compromised settings, should be willing to reestablish their advantage under fair settings. Seems fair racers have really gotten screwed under the current system. Thank you.

The affinity page under my profile is pretty cool but it would be really awesome if it told you your distances for all cars and all tracks somewhere, make it happen devs!

That would be nice

 

[FuriousDemon]

That would be nice

Don’t think you personally need it that much though

 

[Chikane_GTR]

Don’t think you personally need it that much though

To be fair i sometimes drive other cars

Back on topic it would be nice to have that info for all the tracks at least

[DesertPenguin]

Why do you like that car so much?

 

[05XR8]

Just now, drove my first P1. Silverstone National, Multi-class with Road C and Track Day A&B cars. 10 minute practice. It's a cool car. It's as though I can "feel" the aero grip in corners. I don't think the aids were on. Kept it respectful by, only accelerating from 4th gear on the straight sections.
Cool watching the cars get smaller in the mirror as i pulled away.

Also had a go in the 570S. Didn't like it. Seemed harder to drive than the P1.

 

[TokoTurismo]

I love this gif so much! I mean, Monza in Autumn? I have to say, not only do I love pCARS 2's track list, I also like the fact that it features all four seasons and all tracks. Most racing games (notably the sim ones) need to start doing that often when it comes to tracks.

Good job SMS! 👍

I've never known anyone to be soo obsessed with anything - you drive the car 10 times more than any other. I don't know of a car that'd I'd thrash day in day out...

Perhaps it's time to take a look into your addiction @Chikane

Agreed! Also love the gif and the autumn leaves. Also love how SMS have really improved the driving feel of some of the classic cars on default settings. The Lotus 49 (non-winged), and Lotus 25 and 40 are all transformed and a joy to drive on old style tracks - especially with the beautiful autumn setting.
