Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[FastFurious77]

Have you checked ingame if the three modified cars are not already there? A DLC code from an email, not working, usually means that this DLC code already has been redeemed, either by you or by someone else. In the second case, you have no choice besides reporting your problem to your vendor and demand a new code.

Thanks for that. No worries I figured it out. Once you enter the code given from game email, you receive another code. And this is where I went wrong. I didn't enter the new code I entered the old code from the email into psn. lol. That's why it wasn't giving me the modified car pack to download. At last its sorted!!! haha what a idiot I am today.

The code you get via email is entered at BandaiNamco site , BUT include the dashes when entering code. You will then be rewarded with new code which you must input at PS Store , BUT without the dashes.
Hope this helps.

Is the AI as fun and challenging as in Grid AS? Maybe someone can give me an honest answer on that one?

I can't remember how exactly I did it now or where i went wrong. All I know is now I have a complete profile on bandai namco website and 2100 points. To register the game on the namco website - dlc-projectcars.com - we had to use the voucher code that came with the game right? and it also works as the psn code for downloading the LE 5 cars. When it came to the modified car pack. I remember entering that modified car pack code from game email on the dlc-projectcars.com website. Or something i can't remember how its done now. Then when you go to complete your profile on the bandai namco website it recognizes you by email or something as it recognizes that you have the LE version of the game and the modified car pack i your MY Collection part of your profile account. Or I'm wrong and I'm getting completely confused as to what I am doing and saying today.

After playing some other games and pcars online and offline I seriously think that the AI is the best you will find out there. They are fast and fair (most times). Unless you are like a top 5% driver, then AI may not seem challenging enough for you, but for 95% of the people it will be a good challenge.

Can someone confirm or deny if the "Real" weather option is in the console versions of the game?

Also, anyone know what the default buttons are for Turning on your Engines and windshield wipers/lights on the Xbox One version (Controller)?

Real is not available on consoles due to limitations. Can help with the other questions, but you can map all the buttons to whatever you like

What's the point of selecting your number at the career profile creation, if you're asigned a random number when you race? I picked #77, yet I have #29 on my car. Is this a bug or what, if someone could let me know. Or is it that in some classes you can't pick your own number?

No, the number thing is pretty much pointless other than some times you may see it mentioned in the "articles" on the career screen.

hey that's my number!

@notanexpert : There is a bug with the T500 on ps4. TM and SMS knows and a fix is developed as we speak (well ok, probably it will be further developed on Monday sice its a weekend... ). On PC, the T500 is great with pcars, I never read much complaints during development and one of my buddies had a T500 before switching to a CSW V2 and loved it with pcars.

They better do something with the T500 drivers on the PS4, with the actual ones i have worst FFB than I had on GT6, and that´s a shame becuse i really like the physics but i don´t feel the communication through the wheel...

 

[catamount39]

I'm not bothered by the number thing since your number in racing is determined by which team you drive for and the car you're in...only F1 and DTM have that "My number! MINE!" approach...NAPCAR kinda does have some of that approach, even so they mostly have more of a normal approach to numbers.

Now if you could create your own team then it'd make 100% sense.

is there a way to mute players online at the mo? i'm sure it will come in handy

I can't agree with that. I think this AI is a bugged up. AI randomly getting stuck around the track, piling themselves up in the first corner. I am hoping they patch the AI, which I assume they probably already know about.

 

[TheMinority]

What ever happened to that pit crew gear/tires in the pit lane? Or is it due to come out with the pit stop update? Speaking of which, anyone have an Idea when thats coming out?

I agree Monaco for example was a bottleneck disaster did make me kinda chuckle though.

Well after the formula e mess earlier it's kinda accurate.

 

[notanexpert]

Exactly! I saw that race and thought, wait a minute, pcars has got it right!

I'm going to get pCars (pc version) as well buuuut ......... I don't know which version to get. Steam or DVD copy?

Is Steam a better choice of is the DVD version a better choice? I believe you have a few more cars with the Steam version but I don't mind not having these cars if I should get the DVD version.

I truly hope that the DVD version is not a Games for Windows Live version because today, I can't use Flatout Ultimate Carnage anymore because Windows Live won't except the Access Key anymore. I logged on too many times over the years that I have FOUC.

I'm pretty sure you still need steam to play, so might as well get steam version.

 

[HammyMansell]

Am i being stupid or is there no way of adjusting the setup of the cars (Wing levels, ride height, gear ratios, spring stiffness etc) as i cannot find an option to do this anywhere. Only adjust fuel level (Which has a bug on PS4 version in that you cannot set the fuel below full as greyed out)

 

[ozwheels]

For the life of me I can not freaking understand why people drive the way they do online . People on GTA 5 have cleaner races, I 100% mean that. Want an example? GT3 race on Spa, I'm leading and coming into Eau Rouge and see 3 cars parked square in the middle of the track going up the hill, I mean honestly who does that? They don't even get a penalty, DQ or anything. Also the host not being able to kick people like this from a lobby is nearly game breaking for people who want to race online.

Unfortunately it just couldn't be perfected in time for all the various cases. It's coming in an update, but I don't know when.

the ghosting hasn't been affecting me at all when i'm driving; i don't really notice it much, so i'm happy about that. it's more noticeable to me during the replays, but as there are other issues with replays that, to me, need addressing first, i can live with it. i'm just sorry to hear about those folks who get motion sickness from it. that's a concern that hopefully SMS will look into.

It’s funny that you say this, I am in the US, So, I am still awaiting my opportunity to play as I pre-ordered for PS4.
I try to be as un-baised as I can, I have been watching all videos and paying attention whenever they are PS4 specific because I just want to see what I will be getting.

The thing that has stood out to me on the PS4 from day one is the blurry/soft look of any details outside of the car, this is so far not giving me a good feeling about the game and any decision to code it the way that they did especially when I see the XBONE version which is running at a lower resolution but in my opinion looks far better due to the sharpness and clarity of details outside of the car.

To kind of verify what I was seeing I just watched this video and it just confirms to me that the XBONE version looks better:

See for yourself, I didn't make this stuff up, its there for everyone to see

 

[Aaron685]

Why does people who play with a pad have to adjust steering deadzone, sensitivity etc are these not wheel settings? I have never come across a racing game where you have to adjust so many settings for a pad.. this could be the reason people are struggling because the game was designed around people who use a wheel? And I have still not found the right settings for the pad I use and it's fustrating me as I can't enjoy the game

What's the best mode of attack for the 'Consistency is King' trophy? Aside from being good, of course.

I think it's something to do with the PS4's texture filtering as well. makes textures a bit muddy when they're moving, apparently it's a common feature of the hardware, not that I've noticed it much before though.
