Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[TexasTyme214]

I wonder how the whole Road/Oval thing will work. Will the game choose it automatically? I ask this with the career mode in mind.

I've read that it'll just be two cars (Chevy and Honda) and the bodykits and physics automatically change based on the track you're on. You'd never see the oval car at a typical circuit or vice versa.

That would be a bit lame. Would feel quite bizarre jumping between Chevy and Honda cars over the span of a season.

FINALLY! Now they're making that IndyCar license promise to good use! Although, where's Indianapolis...?

The oval portion of Indianapolis was already quite far developped and driveable ingame when they had to take out the ovals to focus on the tracks for release (and before anybody boohoos: Not to milk us but because they couldnt get it all done for release, just not enough time and manpower - all other ovals were half finished or less).

When are the pit crews and all the pitlane stuff coming? It's almost September...

The AI are real bastards this time round. They cut the track, cut you off and drive through your car.
That distorts your vision and you can end up off track, into a wall or another car.

I set them to 60%. Im afraid anything 70% or higher would result in drive by shootings.

 

[Blood*Specter]

Make sure you use the 5.10 version of the Logitech Gaming Software, as that is the last one that will detect the G27, newer versions won't work with it. Should work fine under Windows 10.

Thank you for your help. I'll keep trying. The controller got better after 3.0, but wheel (for me) is king.
Much better control/precision.👍

60% is the sweet spot for me,mint annoys me how aggressive they are during qualifying.

Aggressive AI during practice session may be a more legitimate complaint. During qualifying, they are trying to get fastest lap times. Like the real world, your best strategy is to get on track when AI is on the other side of the track. I've had plenty of clean runs at 80% AI.

I think AI has improved after 2.0 and again after 3.0.

He never said that, he said there would be two cars, and the body work on said cars would change depending on the track you are at.

On the track list thread it's listed as Bannochbrae, a fictional historic track in the Scottish highlands.
Here is a video from the Pre-alpha days of the track or one of the routes:

Reminds me of Loch Rannoch from Toca 2!!!!

 

[Hamiltonfan44]

Pressed the 'PS' Button on my Dualshock 4 to go to the dash. Only to come back and find that it hadn't paused the game as it normally does and I'd trundled out of the pits to a stop and the AI was on the last lap. Fortunately the championship was already in the bag.

OMG, the Test Track is coming back!

 

[jaczrwild3]

Hype.

Will they have the Chevy and Honda aero kits from this season though? Those are the 2014 models, which had the same bodywork between the two manufacters.

 

[catamount39]

I hate to rain on the awesome stuff being revealed but...where's the pitcrew? I've been waiting a long time to see the dingus who drops the lugnuts.

Keep in mind this video is 3.5 years old, but here's what the test track looked like back then:

 

[catamount39]

Awesome!!!!

 

[diesel97]

That's pretty cool i wonder if they will let us build a track a let us open a lobby up ?

 

[notanexpert]

I would instantly download a track like that if they could find a way to make it all available as one track. It would be fun to explore the different layouts

I would spend hours in the Aston GT3 or GT4 (eventually the GTE too) roaming that track.

The Indy license is for the entire 2015 season. There must be a team or two that uses the older bodykits.

I would get lost

I deleted my profile save after the patch installed and did a hard reboot (X1) per recommendations

Liking the smaller increments for AI adjustment. 75% seems to be good for me in the Clio's atm

Frame rate is looking very solid now and the game seems overall very stable

Imo its now it the state it should have been upon release. Yep, very enjoyable now 👍

ps. That Scottish highlands track looks great, I hope we get it

 

[mr_serious]

Yes I have started playing again since patch 3.0 (I had given up for a while). Playing a LOT.

I also deleted my profile & started form scratch. The FFB is better. The AI are less stupid. The driving feel is fantastic on everything that I have tried since patch 3.0.

The best of all bit, is that I am now able to setup a quick race, have some (really) decent, exciting racing without encountering problems everytime.

I have fallen in love again, which meant I could also go and buy the DLC now too.

In the top there's Fuji. This is finally a good addition. Oh below there's one of those useles ovals too I'll see if i can find more.

 

[RacerPaul]

A question, if I may...

In my main menu, driver network and time trial is locked

Does anyone know anything about this?
