Eye Candy for sure, high res and frame rate amazing, but when it drives like some type of bumper car it's not like AC...Maybe I'm too biased to AC with the feel of how I think I can should hope to be...Will find a pub server on AC to jus see if I feel better Logged Bacchulum RestrictedRacing Hero Member Posts: 3403 Karma: 96 Re: Project Cars « Reply #33 on: May 09, 2015, 05:51:43 AM » Quote from: Krahl on May 08, 2015, 09:19:27 PMQuote from: Bacchulum on May 08, 2015, 01:39:45 PMYou don't use the clutch in AC?

Default setups are very forgiving (but slow) so you can jump in and drive around just fine but don't expect to be setting lap records. Setup-wise there's about as much to fiddle with as AC, in some places even more than AC – same aero, gearing, dampers and suspension settings, more advanced differential settings as well as brake maps and the like.Physics-wise when I first started playing I was just too used to the fact that almost every server on AC ran at 100% track grip, ambient temperature, etc. In pCARS the tracks always start green, tyre and brake temps are very important (and you can definitely tell the difference – though I don't know if it's exaggerated just to make people notice that it's there). I am definitely enjoying pCARS physics more than AC (I never thought I'd say that); right now it has better graphics, better sounds (not including AC modded sounds, anyway), physics just as good if not better (more factors modeled – brake, engine, oil, air temperatures, etc.), definitely more varied to stave away boredom.Did this earlier haha. « Last Edit: May 10, 2015, 05:59:23 PM by faz » Logged faz Simone Xtreme Team Full Member Posts: 970 Karma: 34 Re: Project Cars « Reply #39 on: May 11, 2015, 08:15:39 AM » Thx faz for the explanation,and that video is impressive!! I got the game but i could be bothered downloading due to the size and my slow internet,but i should give it a go. Logged Joe Hero Member Posts: 2368 Karma: 39 Re: Project Cars « Reply #40 on: May 11, 2015, 09:39:40 AM » I had a quick go over the weekend. I played AC for a couple of hours first then an hour or so on this. It just didn't feel right, maybe I need to change some settings. I didn't seem to be getting any feedback through the wheel, at one point at Laguna Seca I went off track across the sand and back on the track. If I wasn't watching the screen I wouldn't have even know I'd gone off, I didn't seem to loose any grip on the sand, no different feel through the wheel and I joined the track at speed as if I never went off.It looks amazing though and I tried a race in a storm and the rain etc looked great. There seem to be plenty of setting to change so maybe it just needs some tinkering to make it more enjoyable.

Also for braking you can feel when it is on the verge of locking up. I went off-road in a GT3 car once at high speed and it nearly wrecked my table from my wheel spazzing out from the bumps you can use this custom FFB tweak from official forums someone made, basically does all the individual car-specific FFB settings for you (so the in-game CAR-SPECIFIC settings won't have any effect). Just drop it into your DOcuments\Project Cars folder (so the result will be Documents\Project Cars\FFB with all the files in it). « Last Edit: May 11, 2015, 08:24:45 PM by faz » Logged faz Bird Administrator Hero Member Posts: 2324 Karma: -666 Ysu Re: Project Cars « Reply #42 on: May 12, 2015, 09:26:22 AM » It's interesting that for every 5-6 people that say "it just doesn't feel right" there is one that say "it's great".We're all different, aren't we Logged Bruce Global Moderator Hero Member Posts: 3440 Karma: 76 "Look out, I'm comin' through!"
