Project CARS General Discussion Thread

So why is it that non-US PS4 users can't download the Modified car pack? Seems a bit unfair.

I am guessing that will arrive for EU PS4 users when the Community Event with the Zonda Cinque Roadster commences. It is 3-4 weeks away yet if I remember.

So why is the car list on pcars limited in comparison to Driveclub and Forza for example? Is it a case of SMS being on a very limited budget or is it because they choose to deliberately leave out the likes of Ferrari, Lamborghini etc? I'm guessing it's the former.?

Firstly, you guess right. Secondly, Driveclub is all about road cars, pCARS is not. I'm happy about that. More cars always welcome of course but I much prefer the car list in pCARS over DC.

I like the DC car list but I also appreciate the pcars car list too because it's a different type of racing game.

I'd say Driveclub has the best road car list by a long shot. Also don't forget that game started with around 45 cars at launch, everything else is DLC.

On PS4 maybe.

Ordered this today...

And I'm excited. But don't really have anyone to share it with, so you catch it.

Anybody have an idea when we'll get some sort of ability to choose classes for a solo race? Been driving the GT4 cars a bit now and a LMP3/GT4 race or series would be pretty cool. That and a GT1x/GT3 race or series.

I think Ian mentioned they are starting to work on that now.

Excellent, that'll be fantastic.

Grown quite fond of the Aston Martin V8 GT4, great car with an evil engine. Can't wait for the Aston Martin V8 GTE.

Looking forward to hearing your review on it. If it is same size as the stock rim, I don't know that it would be a must have for me. But it does have the cool factor and feel.
I will likely get the F1 add-on rim. It's the one I covet more.

I have the same one for the TX and I went back to stock rim already. It's nice, but I prefer the button layout on the original rim. It does have a bit more solid feel though.

Thing that gets me with all the rims s the size. They're all the same size ...11" (28cm). My dfgt, which I think is very small and subpar simply for its size, is also 11". Are there options for rims closer to real life size?

I just like leather lol.

Just bought digital download(ps4) a couple hours ago. Impressed by sound more than anything else so far. Still early days to give overall impressions but I like it so far.

 

[Ryan81]

I was having a blast with the McLaren F1 Longtail and the Ford Capri Zakspeed on Bathurst and Monza. I never thought I would say this but I kind of hope SMS keep DLC mainly race cars. While I love my road cars, we already have so many in other racing games so it would be nice for a bit of balance.

 

[SK8RBOI]

You see road cars every day, And if you have a license you can drive one every day. When do see race cars in the flesh? Them rare ecations where you get to go to a race track.

Race cars are more exciting and are made for speed not comfort like every road car ever made!

Said it beautifully. 👍

You understood? That's a first!

Gunna put that on my CV!

 

[FuzzyFassbender]

Sorry if this offends anyone (R3E in pCARS forum) but just thought many may not be reading the R3E threads, and seeing that Project CARS has brought more new racers to the PC (Steam) I just wanted to make everyone is aware.

Sector3 has make "everything" available to race for the entire weekend - all cars, all tracks, all modes, single/multiplayer, etc..

http://game.raceroom.com/

This by no means implies anything (pCARS vs R3E), I like pCARS but I also love R3E. R3E should be in every virtual racer's library, same as pCARS, rFactor 2, Stock Car Extreme, and Dirt Rally.

 

[Adam41]

I'm hotlapping the GT3 cars at Oulton Park at the moment and I'm impressed how close all of the lap times are. Props to SMS for that whilst still retaining the unique feel and characteristics of each car. 👍

 

[Awong124]

Revenge on dirty cheater AI.

 

[RacerPaul]

Looks familiar

Oooh look, a first glimpse of GT7

 

[Taffy81]

Since the patch, do you all think the Jack Spades FFB settings are still better than default or is it best to switch back?

 

[Whitestar]

I'd like to know ^that too.

 

[svenvangent]

I still keep Jacks setup after patch 1.04 .
Have a T300 RS wheel .
If you leave it on default for me it feels no good ,its like when you turn the wheel there are empty space in it the wheel dos-end turn smooth but with Jacks setup I'm happy .

 

[Crisis Nine]

Yeah I'd read that the default settings were good since the latch but I still get much better response using the Jack Spades settings.
