[PS4]-GT3 World Championship-COMPLETEDFinished

[azidahaka]

My temps in the front left at Road America got to horrendous levels. 250 degrees at some points. That paired with overheating brakes and having to save fuel meant it was a tricky race. I finished with only 0.3(litres? Kg?) left. I need to get setup better for Spain, I love Circuit de Catalunya.

250 degrees? i imagine farenheit? i go by celsius Buti had minor issues at Road America and could have run other 20 mins on same rubber...

here at catalunya i had some early problems with tires getting very brown/little orange but a little setup work brought then in normal state and i'm confident they'll last more than all the laps.

Can i join for next race?
Psn :bajny
Thanks

bajny!

I'm at 146s too.

Got in 45.8 with 50 liters on... Not too optimistic, but i started from 1.50s and red tires before setting up the car

Sadly it seems i'm hitting my peak so not going to be any faster i fear.

I don't know what the telemetry shows it as (I use C not F myself) but it was around the 250 mark in places, assuming that's F then it's about 121C. What did you do at Catalunya to get the temps down? I struggled to get it to come down at all.

45.8 with 50L isn't bad at all. The M3 is very strong at Catalunya.

 

[Maldervich]

Ahem ......Australia !!!!! Think Skaanky might have to look into that one, geez

If there are any problems WelshyAKAbadboy can vouch for my internet speeds and driving style

Well mate you will have to wait till Skaanky gets back from Vienna, I believe its sometime today he's the boss.

Really? I was thinking of 42s being the good times to be honest...

In any case i'm slowly getting a bit better at tuning. And damn how much the second part of the track sucks O_o

Taliking about @Skaankypuppy i think he's currently in

So I called to a best friend yesterday who runs Pcars on PC. I took my PS4 and my wheel with me also.

Watkins Glen: Mclaren. 2PM Clear.

First I tried it on PC (Wow it looks good on PC) My best time after 8 laps 1.43.4** on a different wheel. Setup on car was the same as on my PS4. Tyres reached 117-120 was the highest on front left tyre no excessive over heating. Why! Well tyres temperature would increase quickly when pushing hard in and out of corners. But the difference clearly on PC tyre temperature dropping more quickly compared to PS4 I could see this after only 3 laps.

Now on my PS4. Tyres Temp 139-141 same tyre. 8 lap run with my own wheel tried to stick as close to PC time so 143.1.

Now my friend got on PS4 after 2 laps his words were 'WTF is up with the tyres' He said this was terrible. Aahh I said welcome to my world.

Anyway we also tested on other tracks like Brno and Brands-Hatch but I did not record data. The PC tyre model is well implemented it had you on a knife edge if you wanted to step over the limited of the tyre it will hurt you but at the same time putting in good competitive lap time's. But on PS4 that limit steps in away to early.

I have spent so much of my time on this game to learn setups, Car behavior, Wheel and tyre feel. After 25 years of driving on the roads it's like someone sitting beside you telling you how you should of driving for those 25 years. Well I don't like it and when I don't like something I open the passenger door and throw them (PCars) out.

EDIT: I should of mentioned tyre temp readings were taken before start finish line.

If you can you should post your findings on the pCARS forum mate, thanks for testing 👍

Well mate looking over there. People have posted up there findings on the game and they have excuse for everything. ie. You went in to deep to early on power, scrubbing tyres and it goes on and on. The will not even acknowledge the would look into it. Vids posted and people have tested and the excuses still come there are caught up in there pride and afraid to maybe admit we didn't get it right on console's.

But I clearly saw for myself yesterday there is a difference from PC to PS4. I'm surly SMS have a spare PS4/Xbone lying around somewhere under all that horse ****.

I will post to pCARS and Mattyork on twitter see if that helps any

 

[McKiernan]

That's a few people now that I've heard the new tyre model was different on console. at first I'd only heard from people with XBONE & PC but I suspected it was the same with PS4. I only said last night to Ramsey it's not so much the tyre heating too quickly but that it takes too long to cool back down. That's really disappointing, but I just can't bring myself to give up on PCARS or this series yet. It's like PCARS is that one crazy biatch ex GF that you had, when everything is going well it's sublime, but when she's in one of her psycho moods you feel like strangling the yoke, yet everytime you keep coming back in the hope of those good times that are possible. I'll post later on the forums, I know they're a bit rabid over there, but I've a thick skin. Afterall wasn't community feedback the whole ethos of WMD, worth a shot anyway.

I never had issues on their forum. As long one is polite and properly explain the issues they are usually well listened to.

I noticed that too actually. I did all my practice for Road America on the PC version, managing to hit 2:08/7s in full fuel no problem. Exact same setup on PS4 and I could only manage 2:09s with full fuel and tyre management was so much worse.

I wonder if temperature/physics in general is tied to the framerate. Solid 60+ at all times on PC and wear/heat is as you would expect. It's between 45 and 60 on average on PS4 and it takes longer. Probably not, but it's just a thought. I've seen it done on other games.

Sorry I have been away and Karsten's post is pretty close! Two near deaths (mine included!), wedding, me buying rounds of Jager bombs in 10's in a club we ended up in after the wedding. Picture a club average age 20 or so, 12 party animals from the wedding party, we pretty much doubled the average age of the place! We showed the kids how it's done though and tore the place up.

I've not been online much to post and see the thread and there are about 6 pages of stuff I've only really scanned. Apologies for the confusion regarding rooms, I ran out of time before I left and was struggling to get any meaningful internet.

I'm not sure what is really happening now with the series, I get the feeling two rooms will not be happening, I think a roll call is in order to confirm attendance, we will run with those who reply they are still racing.

Again, sincere apologies for not communicating things, time just ran out for me before I left and I think I have dropped a bollock in doing that. I hope it does not mean the end of the series.

Nobody is leaving/quitting because of the series. It's all because of the current state of the game.

I still want to as well.

Am I missing something here, wasn't there suppose to a fix in 6.0 or forthcoming update that the replays would now show the players name ?

Still racing mate

Glad you had a good time mate. Your not over the hill yet has the say life begins at 40.

GT3 racing now in Project Cars is broking. Why! All I'm reading online is drive slower and slower and if your tyre's are still overheating drive around at 50mph. I'm not kidding you will see in Spain.

After my test on Monday and still reading the denial of SMS members that everything works the same on PC to consoles is a complete joke. SMS claim there coding is right across all platforms. Well I now there is a difference from PC to PS4. The coding might be right for that particular platform as the put it. Maybe it has something to do with FPS the coding from each frame is transferred to gameplay as PC runs a solid 60+ FPS on PC. I don't know! Its only a guess.

But I do know patch 6.0 for GT3 is a game changer for me and for all of us it effects members differently as the faster you are the more it will hurt you. Now not for one minute I'm I getting at room two here it's just I can not go round a track 3 to 4 seconds off the pace just to keep tyre's at 120 at Spain.
Skaanky I have really enjoyed the series It's the best racing I have had in years. But with patch 6.0 with it serous changes to game I cannot continue mate. It's at the point I'm starting to hate driving GT3 class.

The tyre's heating is extreme across all compounds. Tyre pressure is game now don't work since patch 6.0. Patch 7.0 next month might be different. I hope so. Anyway still join up laughs and practicing around. But I cannot drive competitively over a race distance with this tyre model. Even if I'm still 2 to 3 seconds of my pace at Spain last night tyre's are impossible to keep green and I was running mediums FL 265..

Again no much issues from me kiernan and ramsey...

Also no one suggests you to drive Like a granny... I push 95% on normal laps and get overheated only if i ask too much.

What car are you driving? Setup?

Also it's not true that faster guys are the most affected, ask Ramsey, pedroeol, rexuz....

Am sure Ramsey agreed with us there was a problem, not being funny but your 95% is some peoples 50%
