*Wrong thread*

It also has been confirmed that there won't be any CO-OP campaign despite original plans.

It also has been confirmed that there won't be any CO-OP campaign despite original plans.

Unless things have changed drastically in the last few days, @IanBell had stated here that CO-OP would be included most likely as a post release patch.

Would appreciate confirmation from Ian on this latest development........

 

[Sch@dows]

For the record ...

So Ian while you're here can you confirm if this is true or not, did Co-op career mode miss the cut and won't be in pcars 2?

We're still working on multiplayer features. I have 10 full time dedicated multiplayer coding staff on the project now and we're working very hard to deliver all that we want to deliver. That delivery list is VERY long though and at some point very soon we have to stop new feature work and move to bug fixing and polish. So I can't say for sure yet sorry. Our main focus has been on improving the 'acuity' of the online experience; on dealing properly with griefing (wreckers) and dealing more efficiently with those suffering temporary connection issues.

Could it be possible to get multi key bindings? So two keys activate a specific action. This would be very useful for people with a limited amount of buttons on their wheel i.e like my G920.

Cheers.

Done, we have this now. Go buy new keyboards and button boxes, you'll need them.

Maybe I am just confusing "Co-Op mode" with driver swaps? I assumed they are the same thing.... not sure what other type of Co-Op mode there would be in a racing sim.....

It's being worked on so I 'hope' we can get it in for ship. If not it will come in a free update.

I was thinking of a two (or more) player Season/Career Mode where the field is completed with AI bots.

 

[Sch@dows]

Yes that's what the coop meant.
Either being in the same team as drivers during a championship, but the second player could also be the spotter, or co-pilot (and potentially any other staff member deciding from strategy to tuning).
At least, that's what was planned when pcars2 was started, but as Ian stated, they had to close the scope one day, in order to prioritize other things and QA, and that feature didn't make the cut.

Some people already believed it would not be in game since the mention of the feature disappeared on the WMD website.

This isn't necessarily directed at the developers but has there been any news on Dodge coming to P Cars? Every sim games needs a Viper ACR or GT3-R.

No mention of it, but since both Chrysler and Ferrari are owned by Fiat, and since the Viper is now officially DOA (dead on it's axles) I wouldn't hold my breath.

Although a Hellcat would be nice to see (hint, hint @IanBell and @The_American )

@IanBell @The_American

1/ Will LMP1-H cars, such as the TS040-HYBRID and R18 e-tron quattro, have user control over the ERS harvesting and deployment, like we have in Assetto Corsa, or is that still simulated for us like it was in Project CARS 1?

2/ Is there a car that you, as a player, would love to have in Project CARS 2 but for whatever reason, which is not relevant here, have not been able to procure?

Thanks.

I don't really follow WEC series, but does the driver has any control over harvesting energy apart from voluntarily braking (and obviously running) IRL ?

Not really, no. But that is what Ian hinted at: the crew does. So, they're working to also make that adjustable in-game. Not on the fly, but in the Tuning Settings.

We're aiming for ship yes. If not, day one patch, and if it's REALLY much harder than we envision, a later patch. It will come for free though.

Co-op Endurance Racing.

Someone tell me again why I'd need to invest in iRacing?

I could probably think of 100 tracks that aren't in Pcars 1 that I'd want before any of those three, or Singapore for that matter. Especially Yas Marina, that track is dull as dishwater...

Thank you for the response and confirmation @IanBell

Exactly. I hope the eSports folks are making note and plan to organize proper 24 Hour events. If not, I may have to take that on myself........ except then I can't manage my own team and race

iRacing and even the fine folks here at GT Planet have shown that the community has a desire for it (as shown by how successful the GT Planet Endurance series organized by AJ were.). The community interest is there, so long as someone is willing to actually organize it. It is a tremendous amount of work, so a team such as the eSports League folks would be best equipped for it.

I can promise you that if they do it, CanAm VRL will have cars and drivers there!!!

 

[ScottPuss20]

Co-op is exactly what we gamers need to simulate an endurance race. I've been wanting to play a game with a feature like this since encountering the crazy-long enduros in Gran Turismo 4. This shall be an innovative feature if it's done right.

I wish we could get mid race saves somehow for the lonesome rider.

I agree, please add also other street circuits

hi Ian,
what about a livery tool, or a livery share feature, in project cars 2 ?
it's not a feature or maybe in free update ?
I see this kind of things in Forza and GTSport.
Sorry if question has already been asked.
thanks again for your hard and good work.

 

[MroczMR]

Its already been said, custom liveries will limit number of cars in grids.
