Project CARS 2

Humans are not ready for rain.

 

Alright, whatever. I won't get caught up in this discussion. It started out originally with my simple request for someone to make an A/B comparison between pC1 and pC2. Now we're deep into sim philosophy and I'm not interested in such a discussion.

 

How do you set virtual mirror?? Some cars have no ingame mirror so I have no clue whats happends behind me. And does anyone know if you
can set look left and right and set the speed upp?

 

While in pit > options > edit hud layout

You can set somewhere in options so it shows arrows when cars are around you. Havent tried myself so not sure if its as the mod in AC or just regular arrows.

 

What do you expect to see in that comparison? When driving normally (below limits) both visually look similar, there are few videos of people doing that.
When you push the cars is where the biggest difference comes. I had pC1 week ago installed, I could drive there relatively comfortable, but it really it feels weird, there seems to be rubber band holding your front in pC1 and the overall over the limit feels not smooth and greasy and opposite of "active" experience i.e. like driving a train. In pC2 it's much more natural and feels like something between AC and RF2.
Interesting thing the grass in pC2 seems much more slippery, I have been cough by it few times (cornering & braking with loaded front and rear outside tires - rear tire touched the grass which resulted in quick snap and spin).

 

That’s not the point because I’m not even comparing PC2 with any other specific sim, although I could and is completely understandable, as much more often than not we all see RL cars being compared to each other, as with movies, songs, books, food, the list goes on.
That’s also one of the ways of how we relate different things with each other, by comparing them to what we know and experienced.

I just expressed that how I make use of FFB settings is not the use PC2 requires, plus that I expect the game to include different per car/track forces within the core game itself (from how physics work, as programmed inside the game and how different tracks are portrayed ingame) rather than relying in user preferences and expectations of how a car and track should be, thus, needing to change FFB settings per car and/or per car and per track.

But I admit it’s my fail to not understand how PC2 works and how to make good use of it.
I’m very far of being someone who gets everything (that would be awesome, though ) because I previously also didn’t understood how or why SMS were improving the cars handling before release date by tweaks in FFB (as per posts of members with beta access).

Edited to correct typing errors (the ones I notice, there can be more )

 

I did not understand your posts regarding these expressions. Are they your assumptions or you have some underlying knowledge of how pcars is programmed?

Btw regarding A/B comparison there are AC users who have 1M or GT86 who should be able to compare.

 

All I can say is that the slipangles in FWD car I drove on track felt very different to Megane RS in pCars 2. In real life it was tricky to know how much "too much" is the optimum and when you step too far you get understeer but in pCars 2, at first the tyres scrub the speed off and then starts to drag than car closer to inside kerb. Of course I haven't driven the exact car IRL but it wasn't something that impressed me.

 

Muscle memory from playing sims, now that's a good one!
Explain this so, after 900+ hours in pcars1 (played nothing else) I bought assetto corsa and instantly went, WOW, this is pretty awesome straight out of the box with the first car I loaded up..
I never played pcars again..

 

Is that a sarcasm? Or you aren't aware of what is muscle memory? Can't tell.
Either way very simple to explain - it was superior by a lot.

 

No I want you to explain how the muscle memory I supposedly devoleped from playing pcars1 allowed me to enjoy ac, yet the muscle memory devoleped from playing ac doesn't allow me to enjoy pcars2

 

Yes I can do that on for one session but after next session its gone. You should have to do that every time??

 

The same happens when I switch between RF2 to AC (and vice versa). Usually I need few hours to adapt to get in to the "zone".
When constantly switching I get the picture of various differences/issues across the sims which doesn't allow me just to just play and enjoy. Best sim racing moments for me was when I started simracing in AC (early access) wasn't playing/switching any other sims. But when I tried RF2 and it was like a revelation with it's tire model and FFB, but unfinished and inconsistent mess and since then simracing enjoyment only went downhill.

 

If i Play dirt or r3e Directly After ac it Feels worse. And each Feels better After some rounds. Of course that doesnt improve anything but still.

 

Are there no ABS/TC modes like in AC?

 

Ferrari 488 GTE round Bathurst. - Felt great !

 

I have noticed that too and that make me look out more for not going offtrack in pcars2. When getting on the grass its really easy to get punished for it.

Yep, that seems to be some kind of bug.

 

can someone help me with performance? (pc spec i5-4570, 8gb ram, gtx770 oc edition)
1080p single screen, reflections and shadows on high, aa settings dont remember, the one with the lowest impact on performance set to low, everything else on medium settings)
driving alone on track at portimao i get around 110 to 125+ fps
driving with 15 other cars i get the same thing.

so what is the most demanding setting and what other settings i can make higher without going lower then 60 fps?

 

Try to use more texture resolution, that should make quite a difference i believe

 

Someone using zero worldmovemen can tell if its like camera locked to horizon and it really doesn't move (or rotates ) at all?

I only find videos gopro-vision (locked to car) or something that rather is inbetween.

Im also a bit worried that the view doesn't work as well as AC or R3E (file change).
