Project cars

[JamesBryan]

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

Yeah you can start in whatever you want it seems, anything from karts to LMP1. It let me chose Touring anyway which is the Clios and then sign a contract.

Under Tier 6

Urgh, front wheel drive.
Can't get used to them on games, all that ever happens is wild understeer and traction issues.

Yeah had a go in the MEG 265 and it was understeer hell!

In which case, the Clio 200T is a proper bag of shite. Swiftly followed up by Megane. And the A1....does it even turn (bro)?

Caterhams and Astons forever!

The cars need some heavy tuning in this game to work well. I spent ages tuning most cars which get quite highly rated on http://projectcarssetups.eu/#/bycar

 

[JamesBryan]

Once you've tuned a car does it save those settings to that car or to any car you use on that track?

You can select to tune to all tracks or that specific track, I used to do a base tune on catalunya mostly and save to all tracks then tweak the tune on separate tracks in the practice sessions etc.

My meg tune.. http://projectcarssetups.eu/#/viewsetup/135504551

Baring in mind I played with a controller so I have no idea how these would feel with a wheel.

 

[Goodj]

I've not given much time to the actual rasecors, but on the more "road" vehicles it seems there isn't much in the way of tweaking.

Guess that does make sense, only CS members insist on multi-way adjustable suspension for their road cars :tongueclosed:

 

[JamesBryan]

Bringing out a patch with turinis and silver visions iirc.

 

[172_Tom]

I started in the Clio Cup as well. Not had time to finish the first season yet though!

Is anyone interested in setting up some CS.net time trials? I was thinking of keeping it to small circuits (so that you don't need to spend 6 hours trying to get a good lap on the Nordschleife) and sensible-ish cars. Could be bi-weekly, monthly or once a certain amount of entries are received. If there's interest I might start a new thread for it (or someone else is welcome to).

Awesome mate, get it set up. You on PS4 yeah?

 

[Euan94]

I'm well up for that. I never play it anymore as it's a bit a pain setting up the wheel but if there some friendly competition then I'm sure I could manage.

 

[JamesBryan]

I'd be up for that once I've had more time on the game.

 

[BoatNonce]

Yeah had a go in the MEG 265 and it was understeer hell!

Really?

For me it, and the 275 trophy, are ridiculous for oversteer!

The Focus drives the nicest out of all the FWD cars IMO.

 

[BoatNonce]

Just been for a spin, the 265's alright actually, a but understeery. It's just the 275 that goes mega sideways everywhere then :laughing:

 

[nebraska182]

Oulton Park Fosters is a good circuit for hot lapping - tested most of the cars on this track. Also maybe something like Nordschleife Sector 2.

 

[JamesBryan]

Did a few laps last night with @JB21 and @Gavin. plus randoms and got battered 😂

Although in the Clio Cup race at Donington @JB21 only just beat me because i went off through Coppice.

 

[Gavin.]

Maybe I need to start playing this some more, it's the first time I've been on it in months.

Couldn't tell 😂

You were flying.

 

[JB21]

Got a pass tonight so will be on it for a few hours after 7 if anyone is interested...

Not used to the FWD cars, I kept turning in far to early then under-steering off, lol.

That Clio race, would your car have had the same setup as mine or your setup?

Standard mate, not touched the tunes of the cars yet, only thing I've done is change the steering sensitivity down to 40 from 50 and manual box.

I'm playing it on PC

[nebraska182]

Has anyone played both Pcars and Assetto Corsa on console? Im thinking of getting AC in the next week or so....just wondering if anyone has compared the two games. Obviously the more accurate physics of AC is appealing to me,but still not convinced about it.

 

[BoatNonce]

Not on console, but I've played both and I honestly prefer Pcars. I don't feel either is that accurate, but they're both reasonably close and Pcars is a better 'experience' IMO.

I've got both on Xbox 1 and definitely think Project Cars is the better of the two.

 

[Goodj]

PSN - Hypermega
I could be in for some trials.

No front-dragging ghey for me tho........please set conditions to "never rain"

 

[BoatNonce]

Stop complaining and stick a time in

 

[JamesBryan]

What are peoples preferred driving view?

 

[JB21]

What are peoples preferred driving view?

Rear view for me with pad, if I had a wheel though it would be inside with wheel showing.

 

[JamesBryan]

Rear view for me.

Got mine on driver's view through the visor.

 

[JB21]

Got mine on driver's view through the visor.

Lol, that's defo the hardest setting for view IMO, its like looking through a letterbox.

 

[Goodj]

What are peoples preferred driving view?

bumper cam or bonnet cam.

the in-car views seem a bit pointless, in reality the view you have is more like the bonnet-cam..... unless, of course, you adopt a bad boy, 40degree back angle in your sensible, practical daily hatchback....in which case, murder yourself.

 

[JamesBryan]

Lol, that's defo the hardest setting for view IMO, its like looking through a letterbox.

I'm going to change it, but i don't know which view to go for.

 

[SharkyUK]

Regarding Assetto Corsa vs. PCars... I thought AC was much better physics-/handling-wise... but the updates to PCars have really improved things. So much so that I think I actually prefer PCars again now.

 

[-Jamie-]

AC feels proper cheap and missing any sort of involvement in terms of the actual carreer/game play. Lack of being able to adjust much in terms of FFB and other settings massively lets it down as well, as does the stupid car list and the graphics ain't anything special.

I have both and still go back to Pcars over it which is a shame as AC does have some nice tracks and cars

 

[Gavin.]

What are peoples preferred driving view?

Standard driving view for me
