Project CARS General Discussion Thread

@paulpg87

have you tried it on a pc, is it broken on there too?

i have a tx and had some weirdness few weeks ago when used on xbox only, it calibrated but lights turned off after.

always works fine on pc.

reconnected cables, reset and unplugged console fully to reset usb ports on xbox. then it started working again.

Remember, it's just a joke... (to be obvious)

Truthfully, I think it would be great if you could opt for a lo-fi graphics engine. I love the idea of a sophisticated simulator with retro visuals, maybe stylized like Drift Stage or Auto Modellista.

And I guess it could relate to how I grew up with '80s/'90s games, but there's something about lower resolutions that makes graphics seem more "impressive", similar to how photorealistic-styled games can look more "real" when you take a photo of the screen, compared to a direct capture. At high resolutions, all the imperfections and unrealistic artifacts stand out (a bit of the uncanny valley effect).

With its details and special effects, I think Project CARS would look cool in 240p:

For a second I seriously thought you put up an old photo of a Super Touring Ford Capri and not PCARS.

Edit: Fixed

Pretty sure that's a Capri, but yeah I thought it was real too!

Oops

Is dirty air simulated? If so do cars that are aerodynamically dependent affected a lot more than say a GT3 car?

According to SMS, yes. On both accounts.

Thanks

Holy crap. Game of the Millenium right here!

I have another question: Is there telemetry in the game which you can watch in pit menu?

You mean your own data from the previous stint?

 

[DG_Silva]

Or are you talking about on the monitor during practice when viewing other drivers? If so, I think so.

 

[Telstar]

I am talking about something like this:

I guess that proves the point.

Of course, the clarity from higher resolutions is nice too. The first night I booted up Forza Horizon on my LCD I found myself setting even faster Rivals times than I did before (or maybe the increased screen size was what made the difference).

I am talking about something like this:

Not in-game, but there may be some PC-only plug-ins.

 

[psychoazubi]

I am talking about something like this:

I think this is Computer only for now, and only with external programms. There are a few, i tried one of them about 1-2 years ago. Really useful

 

[samurai8juice]

Physics Wiki, everyone should read:

Wow. I knew it was realistic, but not THAT realistic.

 

[Aces]

Why is there no pit crew?, all i see is the lollipop man in some recent videos from the gold build.

 

[HEF51]

Yeah I'm guessing pit crews wont make it in at release. Especially since Day One patch has been finished and WMD already has it.

 

[WarriusZero]

Or do they?

 

[JR98]

Or do they?

Ooh plot twist!

Thank you.

 

[TheMinority]

@DG_Silva hear anything regarding the pit crews as stated above?

If Auatralias a day ahead of Europe and America will we get the game before everyone else?

 

[DrJustice]

I am talking about something like this:

Would something like this help?

 

[CHEN255]

Yep, except for us in New Zealand because we are the first country to see the new day.

Yes and the first to have an internet disruption,ha,ha,just kidding
