Why is console so fast PS4 Vs PC Kyalami Comparison

Since i have the game on both platforms i thought it would be interseting to see the difference between PS4 & PC. Im not to sure why console is so much faster than PC but i think with a perfect lap on PS4 which i always struggle to do because of the input lag i think there is about a 1.7 to 2 seconds difference in favour of the console.

 

Well, simply because console is on an older version (1.3.7 if I recall correctly) and therefore you have probably different physics and different BOP settings. You can clearly see that your top speeds are different (faster in Console)

When I switched from PS4 to PC recently I also noted that the cars in PC are much easier to control than in PS4, it's like if I could understand and anticipate much more the reactions of the car. Also on PS4 I was struggling a lot with throttle lift oversteer, while it's completely different in PC. On PS4 i.e. going through eau rouge/raidillon for me was extremely difficult, on PC it's just natural.

 

In you comparison, did you have set the same weather conditions? If it is hotter you're going to be slower. Air density is less when it's hot and the car can't breathe in as much air and won't perform as good.

 

WHC 188 was run at Kyalami, the cars on console where approx 10kmh faster down the straight, indicating quite a big difference. Acceleration decreases lap time everywhere!

Same conditions, same track, same car (Nissan), different platform.

Suspect this is also the case at Bathurst as well.

 

[QUOTE = "CuaC, post: 1159946, member: 262918"] Bem, simplesmente porque o console está em uma versão mais antiga (1.3.7 se bem me lembro) e, portanto, você provavelmente tem física diferente e configurações de BOP diferentes. Você pode ver claramente que suas velocidades máximas são diferentes (mais rápidas no console)

Quando mudei do PS4 para o PC recentemente, também notei que os carros no PC são muito mais fáceis de controlar do que no PS4, é como se eu pudesse entender e antecipar muito mais as reações do carro. Também no PS4 eu estava lutando muito com o oversteer do acelerador, enquanto no PC é completamente diferente. No PS4, isto é, passar por eau rouge / raidillon para mim foi extremamente difícil, no PC é natural. [/ QUOTE]
Você sentiu a diferença no FFB Pc to PS4, console is more agressive.

 

What I noticed on PS4 is that it had a tendency to give weird aggressive snaps on certain turns. I.e: on turn 12 in kyalami, the fast downldown hander after passing the hairpin.

 

I should be the same, They need to fix it, i have been running many races lately at Monza, and i am turning 1:49s but a console car ( you can tell from the un natural movement through curves) Passes me we are both on front straight and same car just leaves me in the dust, then you see them crank the wheel 90 degrees and car goes through chicane at speed almost. What gives? This should be addressed asap. Either that or put them on their own server.

 

There's no cross platform racing in ACC. PC users only race against PC users, Xbox players Vs Xbox players and PS4 players Vs PS4 players.

 

Well it doesn't seem to be the case, i was at Monza with at least 3 admitted console users in the race, their cars have different animations, and you could see their front tires turned 90 degrees at first chicane before they eventually were about 10 seconds ahead of us PC guys by race end. This was on public server.
