Rate it well then?

Defiantly mate. Force feedback is quite powerful, steering is nice and stiff so you do have to work it. No cons from me so far

What do you guys use for mounting the wheel, just a table or a proper stand?

The stiffer the better, TBH, as long as it's ergonomic. I'd rather have a reasonable table than a wobbly cheap floor stand.

Personally though I have a full on rig, it's in the simracing thread somewhere.

 

[McGherkin]

What a PITA. Shadowplay's audio seems to be stupidly quiet with Project Cars. Regardless, I've just found the kart tracks!


OH, AND THE f**king MOUSE SHOWS UP? b****cks!

 

[JB21]

Just got this, WTF is wrong with some of the cars, the FRS for example bounces when turning the wheels even when stationary and in the GT3 porker around Brands it changes gear up, up, up, down, down, up...buggy as hell and unplayable at times.

Are you playing it with Automatic gears?
If so, uninstall and get Real Racing on your iPad instead

Hahah ya dick! Set-up manual gears last night but didn't give them a go, will try it out later. It awful in auto...

Until they release a DLC for the "motorway 600" endurance series, there's no call for an Automatic mode in any racing games. Hell, even the staunchest DSG fanboy will still demand they have paddles to help them pretend they are doing something more involved than steering.

 

[Goodj]

I actually can't play racing games in Automatic.
In this game I'll often put in recon. laps with barely 4k revs on, until I get to grips with the circuit.
And for the big-power cars I prefer to be in a higher gear to be able to better control the wheelspin.

Bare in mind that I'm only using a control pad

Just done Brands GP in 1:23 in the Zonda R set to manual. Didn't save my time on time trail but I didn't go of track.

phillyf21 on ps4 if anyone fancies a game some time.

I'm getting a ps4 soon with this, I'll give you a game once I'm set up.

Get the F1 as well :wink:

My mates got the F1 2016 on Xbox One and it looks decent.

Can anyone tell me HTF to get in the community events, there's zero info in game and all 30+ are closed?

A quick search suggests that the events have ended possibly.

@McDriftin will know.

Yeah - don't go for auto m8 - they have the awareness of a blind sloth, fingering its own hoop. You might get the next gear in the next second or a week next Thursday.

I actually find the auto box more of a pain for not downshifting enough - or keeping the engine in gear long enough - dependent upon the track. Made worse when you have a forced fed engine and the torque gets dumped when you least want it!

I had a bit of indulgent spend earlier in order to add a bit more feel into my G25 pedals. Hopefully the set will feel a bit more 'resistant' now. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/GTEYE-Complete-Pedal-Spring-Upgrade-for-LOGITECH-G25-G27-G29-G920-Racing-Wheel/161713422412?hlpht=true&ops=true&viphx=1&_trksid=p5197.c100068.m2280&_trkparms=ao=1&asc=20140211125758&meid=b446275e8deb40fab6e8f64948c9f1bb&pid=100068&clkid=213430101233787117&_qi=RTM2108002

I've gone for the Thrustmaster T300RS with the upgraded T3PA pedals.

I seriously need a decent wheel and stand. Keep seeing them going on ebay, might sell my Oz f1s to fund or put a swap thread up, lol.

It's night and day difference having a wheel - it honestly is. Get the feedback setup right and you can feel when the front end is getting light or you cut across the rumble strips. As you've probably seen in the options menu of Project Cars, it supports plenty of wheels right out of the box. From there, you can tweak away to your hearts content. A lot of the slider bars for bias and feedback, I don't even know what they mean - lol.

Looking forward to having a play with mine.

Not had a console since i was 16, i'm 28 now lol.

No idea, I don't really use Pcars online.

[Stueylouey21]

Just got project cars on PS4... looking into getting a wheel/pedal setup. What do most people go for without spending stupid money?

 

[Silent_Scone]

Still come back to this now and again. Playing Dirt Rally more now though simply because it's brutal.

 

[McGherkin]

Managed to fix the video.

PlayStation or Xbox? I bought one and haven't used it really, and don't have time so could do with selling.

Basically brand new and only used a few times with a wheel stand too.

G920 for Xbox One

Bugger! Cheers.

Well if anyone else wants a wheel for Xbox One, let me know!

 

[JamesBryan]

Got everything setup on mine now.

What are people doing for FFB settings, just messing around or settings someone has recommended?

I've read that this seems a popular site for settings http://pcars.oscarolim.pt/
http://pcars.oscarolim.pt/
You can download an Excel sheet with all the different cars and settings tweaked by some guy called Jack Spade.

 

[McGherkin]

I think that's what I used. pCars is very sensitive for FFB settings, and it makes a big difference to the feel.

 

[JamesBryan]

I need to have a play about with some settings.

I'll be on later mate, what's your gamer tag and we'll have a blast before the game?

 

[Goodj]

I'd so love a full wheel & Pedals setup.

But I suspect it'll only highlight, in even greater clarity, that I can't drive

I've not properly played it yet, so no doubt you'll batter me.

Have you done any?

Started the career in karts but got bored, can you start at the Clio cup stage?
