Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[FLX1981]

Anyone know how to put the career back to pro? I'm stuck in armature?

Unfortunately, you cant. The option used to be there, but unfortunately it was taken out recently - no idea why, seems like a really dumb move. Reported by several people at WMD. For now, I think the only option you have is to delete your savegame and start again.

They can on console, can you check wherever you buy stuff from?

I'm in the US and the game isn't available on here on consoles until next week. We can only pre order it right now. I can go to the Limited Edition Upgrade, but it still says "Bundle" where the price would normally be. The reason I ask is because I would prefer to buy the physical copy, and buy the Limited edition pack separately. (XBox One)

 

[Nato_777]

They have it allready??

Yep, I just downloaded it and the livery pack - though I'm still waiting for my copy of the game to arrive in the mail.

 

[Torg22]

Anyone know if there is an fastest laptimes database thingy online anywhere for each track/car combo? Preferably for Xbox.

 

[Formula1269]

Anyone know if it's possible to use a keyboard in conjunction with a Dualshock 4 controller with this. So many options for console game, not enough buttons.

Same! Where did you order from?

 

[priesty_lfc]

Can you elaborate on this?

Gran Turismo 6 did have a rather good set of lobby options, with more options available than Forza Motorsport 4 (which was a very good game for online play). I'm curious as to what issues you're specifically having with the lobby options in Project CARS since I'd be spending over 90% of my time in multiplayer.

Well there is no text communication so if you/the host dont have mic thete is no way other than PSN to talk, there is no spectator option so again if you join a lobby with you can't see any action if the race has already started.

You can only search you events using location type/class/event length and skill level so not a specific track.

Once in a lobby you can't change any of your driver settings.

It just feels restricted

Feels good to finally being able to contribute something meaningful to this thread after 540 pages.

*proceeds to make a post that isn't meaningful at all*

Postie just turned up with the game 3 hours later than his usual time! Was ready to give him a kiss!

Ok,I'm trying to participate in time trial in community events on monzda and when I hit a lap time it's not saving my time on leaderboards and when I pause the game I can't skip to end of the session,just exit and save but my laptime isnt saved....anyone else with the same problem?

Same as Forza 4 in that regard.

Both Forza and GT6 had spectator options.

You can only search you events using location type/class/event length and skill level so not a specific track.

Not a big issue for me so long as I can see the circuit name in the lobby list before joining a room.

Once in a lobby you can't change any of your driver settings.

Do you mean Assists, Car Setup or both?

If there wouldn't be an achievement that is linked to Pro setting it wouldn't be a problem at all because there are no differences than driving and onscreen assists (which can be changed manually).

The problem with the achievement makes it an unfortunate oversight though.

 

[Gejabo]

Just had my first go.
Holy moly this is awesome!

Need alot of practice before joining any online races besides the one's with my friends.

 

[galaxyjack]

what this game needs are
- More cars
- Pit stop crew and animation
- A few more tracks

All of that will come as DLC (cars, tracks) or patch (animated pit crew).

Guys I was talking to Fernando Reese who drives the Aston Marton V8 vantage in GTE Pro on Instagram, I told him that PCars was out and he said he would try to find a copy since he is in London right now!

 

[Brend]

I don't personally see any issue with using the controller by the way. It's balls-to-the-wall difficult but that's where the appeal is to me!

I've not altered any settings either, using Professional simulation with default mode 3 on.

 

[TexasTyme214]

How do console leaderboards work? Is there only stats for car classes at a specific track? I'm pretty sure I saw in PC videos that each car at every track had its own leaderboard and then there was a leaderboard for the fastest overall lap at every track.

I believe I've read that individual cars at a track can't be done on console because of memory. So many more people will be on console than PC is the reason I believe.

That's crazy, it prompts you in the beginning to let you know you can change it at any time. Lol lucky I didn't get too far into the game.

If you're in the UK it doesn't come out until tomorrow.

EDIT: Nevermind.

Oh boy... This game is tough. I have to learn again....
Driving the road car bmw at monza is so different to gt. I'm hooked.

On PCars you have to drive a car like it's your personal car, take it easy for the first few laps then build confidence and gradually better your lap times. I learnt that with GT Legends.

Exactly. Drive it like you own it, don't drive it like you stole it!

This. I did around 125 km in 2 cars, and only did a couple of spins with each car. I just drove it like in real life, starting slow. Don't forget the tires are cold.

This is the best way to enjoy a game like this IMO

 

[JR98]

Exactly. Driving an SLS AMG like you stole it will end up with you in a tree and no rubber left in the tyres.
