Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[Eks]

Anyone else wondering why / noticing some of the effects seem to be "laggy?" For example, the vehicle exhaust, leaves being tossed up by passing cars, flying sparks, etc. For a game that's mostly 60fps, I feel it really pokes a hole in its visual consistency when some of the finer effects appear to render at a halved (or worse) refresh rate completely independent of everything else.

(PS4 player btw, if it matters.)

 

[NLxAROSA]

Same applies to reflections, mirror rendering, etc. I guess that's the compromise they have to make to keep the general FPS up.

Yesterday had my friends come over for the some PCARS, took 3 reboots to get the accelrator working on my T300

 

[OooAhh Cantona]

Is there random weather in career mode now? Just completed the BMW 1M Eifelwald Sprint invitational in season 3. I entered the event, and weather was hazy. I exited the event and re-entered... weather changed to medium cloud. I don't remember the weather in season 2 for this race.

Or do users define scripted vs unscripted weather based on rain?

 

[Zakspeed_TV]

Ok so all my world records have gone, but if track limits are sorted and people carn't wall ride its not so bad right?

Wrong first track Nords people wall riding the carousel, what the 🤬

To anybody experiencing crashes after the 3.0 update, please note all possible details (game mode, car, track, lap, weather etc) and report them here:

Done.
After 350 hr I suffered the first crash (into PS XMB screen) today.
Happened during race 1 of the GT3 Euro Championship at Brno. 17 laps done and flash...

Are you aware that ghosts and replay are EXTREMELY INACCURATE in this game?

You can't have a clue if the other driver did wall ride or not with current state of things...

Looks like a wall ride to me and i have been told by others who have done it.

I still beat the little *****

Damn I didn't knew what you meant with wall riding but I looked for the second time and I saw the bloody ghost driver , good you could still beat him 👍

 

[GordonS]

I tried to beat my RUF RGT8 Nordschleife time trial lap (about a month old drive) but I lost almost six seconds Are the tires harder compound now or is it me? (Just joking, I was on the limit).
Anyway, the horrid bottoming out sound is gone now and off throttle oversteer is present. Aaand the Karoussell! You can really push there now. 👍

 

[FLX1981]

That probably has to do with the updated road tires. See patch 3.0 release notes.

 

[catamount39]

Road cars are more decent to drive, drove the Focus RS at Spa, kinda fun lol.

 

[Spitfire77]

Has anyone tried Jack Spades new FFB v2.0 settings? Seems he might have updated every car.

Can someone tell me the approximate performance order of the GT3 cars please? Is it the SLS on faster tracks,
the z4 or RUF on tighter trackers and the 12c in the rain?

That happens all the time in real life.

They are all about the same as they are IRL due to the BoP.

Ultimately, your driving style is what makes a car better suited for you.

But how are you against the AI in a ford focus? Because the last time I race against the AI in the ford focus I got destroyed. And I had them at 60%. Usually I don't go that low for AI difficultly. Was barley moving up.

 

[Techy]

Started one of my careers in GT4 and chose a contract in the BMW M3. And then spent the first round catching up to the Ginetta's, which were fast as hell. Pulled close to one of them several times, but they quickly pull away at corner exit and on straights (mind I am playing with a controller). After some time I figured it was because the Ginetta had faster shifting than the Bimmer, and I was right. When I shift in my M3, the Ginetta pulls away. No wonder why they lock out the top row to themselves.

I don't like road cars enough to race them.

Yes, this update was already in 2.5 for the PC players, but with 3.0 it also hit the consoles. Massive change for the road cars, they're much more of a handful on the limit now, so much fun to drive!

Well turn down the AI some more till you can keep up and start winning then start turning up slowly as you get better. All cars are different in this sim. Once you spent enough time racing and get to know the sim you will get better.

Had some good fun in the MK1 escort online last night, with a bit of tuning it feels spot on, as it should with a car with leaf springs. Also i love the detail at the back of the car when behind someone, job well done 👍

Got to try that again.
It should be nice to drive (had a few nice cornering experiences with it) but after three seasons racing against the big ol' Mercedes monsters (and most of the time ending up on my roof and/or losing most bodyparts) I was a bit fed up with this...

 

[Hamiltonfan44]

It needs some gentle tuning to the rear and then it's great against the mercs.

Yeah i had the room on identical, doing nord runs in it is great fun as its a challenge to keep speed as its a slow car.
I have a MK2 escort and i must say the feeling very close.

Check this drift run, great fun 👍

As long as they don't "touch" you it is (was) OK, yes...
