for anyone with access to both games, how do they compare in terms of handling, graphically etc?
thanks
thanks
PC1 How does Project Cars compares to Assetto Corsa?

Well David I have a G27 myself as well and is an always there always works backup and for use on secondary systems. I am sure everyone has hopes that the G27 users are able to dial them in for use in pCARS and no your not ignored. Fellow members are very forth coming in efforts to help if kindly asked.
Anyway My CSW no longer works too well with my favorite older gmotor based games? It has something to do with the CSS usb adapter and happened when they did the firmware and driver changes to introduce the CS handbrake. So I am in the same boat David but just on the other side of the coin.

Yes I have driven GSCE and think it's quite wonderful while the FFB in RF2 may be a little more jolty then I prefer I am sure I could adjust it out but I though we were discussing out of the box defaults. However when I play one game to another I don't expect the same experience in each and every one of them and enjoy the differences from one to another. I very much like the FFB in PCARS I like the Steering Force levels and really don't care all that much for overcooked road noise coming through the wheel so I have to add AC FFB as very likable as well as iRacing.
One thing I really don 't care for is FFB that feels like it's gonna break my delicate CSW.
iRacing is the best simulation you'll get. End of story
And then I have tried all the other mentioned sims. Just look at all the real nascar drivers, that practice on this.
Doesn't change the fact that they remember how the track feels in the laserscanned version compared to real life, what other option is needed?And what other options are there for NASCAR drivers?
The point is, there really isn't another modern NASCAR sim out there for them to use. The company that used to make the main NASCAR sim is, ahem, now making iRacing.
As for circuit racing, there are other options now for those racers. There are a fair number of circuit racers on iRacing because at the time, that was all that was possible (as far as decent tracks). Now, the options are more open so you'll see some of them preferring something other than iRacing (for instance):

Here's one of Rene's responses on one of his videos:
You don't have to like Project CARS. I couldn't care less myself if no one does. However, for those like me who do drive real cars, what Project CARS offers is not replicated in any other sim currently available (and yes I do have an iRacing account, but I rarely use it).
Why are you rarely using iRacing?
Because it sucks hairy balls?
To be honest, I dislike the tire model. It has gotten better, but the techniques I use in iRacing are not remotely close for what I use in real life due to the tire modeling. I will say it's gotten much better since iRacing was introduced but the grip falloff over the limit is much too sharp. Take the video above. This was me testing out some tires (Kumho V710). Granted, these aren't a full slick, but they are fairly close and you can see that even when the tires break away, the car doesn't go completely nuts and spin out of control. Those tires sucked so the slip angle was much lower than I was used to so I was many seconds off my time with other tires, but the point was around the grip falloff.
Don't get me wrong, iRacing set the bar for how to create (semi) organized public racing. I think the iRating system is genius. However, the driving experience just isn't there for me. I never drove iRacing because I liked it; I drove it because I could have some decent online races every now and then when I wasn't racing in leagues.
FWIW, their oval behavior is second to none. They really built upon what they had with their NASCAR Racing series. Their circuit behavior is just not quite there yet.
Well i do not know what to say, so many complain over the tire model and handling but since I have played assetto corsa a feel like it's too linear, and boring not rewarding at all, but with iRacing you get that sense of dynamic feel that is unique, I don't know about you but I have raced iRacing since 2012 so I have become more experienced, it takes alot of time but its so rewarding that nothing compares to it. I think that most people that don't like iRacing tend to give up too fast before realising how nice the sim actually is, personally I like the tire model because it behaves differently all the time which makes for a more fun experience... you can literally feel when tire get heated up and gaining more grip. All these suttle details in iRacing plus the millimeter accurate tracks makes a unmatched sim.
Ps. Ranked best racing game of all time by PC GAMER
FWIW, those rankings change over time.
There was a "best racing game of all time" before iRacing.I started with iRacing right after the beta testing completed in 2008. This is not a fake name, so you can look me up.
I'm also currently the chief instructor for NASA Central Region so I do know a little something about performance driving:http://drivenasacentral.com/contact.php
iRacing just doesn't have the proper tire physics (yet). That doesn't mean you shouldn't like it, but compared to what it's like to do this in real life, it's not correct. Project CARS (and Assetto Corsa) are both closer than iRacing is today to modern slicks behavior. rF2 is still using some of the workarounds they've used in previous generations (which increases grip too much at speed to compensation for the tire model not handling low speed grip will). It's not a bad thing, but it's something some of the new generation sims handle better.
haha, Well go and enjoy enjoy the basic physics on the other sims then, your choice!
Well then there is nothing more for me to say. you won!FWIW, those rankings change over time.

Well i can assure you that I had the best online experience compared to the other sims, and vey good net code as well
