PC2 PC 2 Physics

danracer2000 · Aug 3, 2017

Please i have watched some youtube videos , graphics are impresive (betther than PC: amazing work), BUT the real question is HOW ABOUT the physics??, and actually to which actual game it could be compared in term of physics?

Thank you guys.

This is an arcade racer at best with fake physics - it's all moot when the engine is so obviously programmed to give hidden assistance and inputs for the benefit of the dumbed down console brigade.

I am not aware of any "hidden" assists in PCARS2,other than more tame setups if you are using pad.

Possibly, but compared to what?

LOL, standard question, but you pro-simcade people never answer my question.
Q....what real life behaviours does pcars 2 exhibit?
Also, is there a consequence for losing either or both front and rear wings?

Also in PCars 2 defense can someone confirm that in the snow you get studded tyres? If so there is your grip, same with wet tyres on wet track, the only time there would be an issue of grip is if your suing the wrong tyres on the track so slicks on wet track etc...

IIRC, in PC2 there should be "Winter tires" for snow, and "Studded tires" for ice..

LOL I haven't lost wings yet, only done open wheelers in private practice.

LOL

I'll take that as a non answer

unfortunately, yes. Lost a wing during practice at road america, driving an indycar. hit one of those little poles and the front wing decided to go somewhere else. The next fast corner, my car left me aswell.

Yep, the wheel gets lighter the faster you go, similar to AMS. I managed to damage the front aero in a formula c race and the car was undrivable. Not sure if AI are affected the same though

KarlHelm · Sep 23, 2017

Maybe the both of us should stick to formula rookie, since they don't have wings

Better the front than the rear, giggidy.

ummm... 11/10 would give their front wing again!

I was sitting here reading all of this and i began to wonder..................... why the heck would anyone who doesnt own, like or plan on purchasing this game even be in this forum lol.. For instance, I have no interest in say.. My summer car, so i have never once visited that forum. Like ever.

. I dont know. its just weird to me. But anyway. carry on.

Its this kind of peoples.

Yeah it is very funny

the few sim racing "experts" here running their brains in "extreme power saving" mode, they think pc2 is crap plus they have no intention to buy (so they say) yet must constantly explain to us all (as if we care) in miniscule detail their illogical reasoning. I cry for them !

After testing the 650 at Silverstone as a welcome gift, I played around with the 488gt3 at Imola and I had a blast. I like the way the brakes bite in R3E (i.e. GT 40) and the suspension work in AC better, but overall PC2 gives me the closest idea of what I am driving. Being in the pit tuning the car is to me what a little girl thinks of a candy store.
Little confused by all the other different LSD options instead of the standard plate one.

On the other hand, I took some fancy street cars for a ride in the French Riviera and I felt being playing a twenty year old arcade game.

Mercedes park with the 450 and rally cross are half baked.

Rain on track, well, so immersive to call it mixed reality for real.

Few UI glitches, low graphic in VR, but for some good racing I'm all over it.

Wishing for RD to get it going in GT3.

Regarding Steam.

PCARS has never really been hugely cheap on Steam sale, I think there was a time it was down to about 15 quid? It is never in the proper bargain bin like some others.

So, I would not expect PCARS2 to be in a cheap bin any time soon, until at least this time next year

If you setup the assists on "authentic" you get TC, ABS and SC on default and these cars are made to be driven by house-wifes for shopping as well. Turning it off will help i can tell

Tyre-physics are IMO the best and spoiled me. Some cars are bad (Cayman Cup for example) but most are between good to awesome of what i tested during about 12 hours of driving.

Nice post! Could you tell me/us a few of the "awesome" cars and maybe the awesome tracks to bundle them? Wanna test pcars 2 but not really have time to tinker around much

Thanks in advance!
