PC2 Project Cars 2 Leagues (merged)

[Rob]

I know we are all excited for this release. What I don't know is how many people intend to a) play it on the xbox one and b) would like to join some sort of a formal league here at Race Department.

There are so many possibilities, I've had to calm myself down from getting lost in them. However, my main passion, IndyCar, will probably not be able to be run until the DLC with the ovals comes to the Xbox One.

That said, what sort of series would you like to see? Personally, ones that come to mind are Tudor United Sports Car Series, WEC, British Touring Car, and DTM. One of these could fill the gap for me until IndyCar is possible, but others may have better ideas.

Please indicate below if you are interested and what sort of times you are available and which series' you prefer. We could follow the actual schedule of many a series, due to the timing of the release. Personally, if they get the ovals out before IndyCar starts, I'll probably turn my focus there, but nothing would prevent running another alongside.

The anticipation is killing me!

Tim, I don't think PCars does the head tracking thing like Forza. That system wasn't perfect, but you can always map your directional buttons to help you turn either way. I use the crew chief app which tells you if there is a car on your right or left, and usually people are pretty good at telling you they are on one of your sides.

I have two buttons mapped on my wheel for "look left" and "look right" they certainly come in handy, especially when racing online.

10 lap heat, then reverse the field for 15-20 laps. Need points for heat race to maintain incentive

 

[2pfspiff]

Maybe 25 laps. Could set up a mandatory pit stop in the final race.

I'm just an old fogey who's always used cockpit view since Indy and NASCAR sims on PC in 1994. A spotter is nice, but I've been racing so long I figure if I see you in my mirror and make a mistake and leave the inside open, I just assume you're going to take it. The hard part for anyone other than Chase view is seeing when somebody sticks their nose in there on a dive bomb or whatever, no matter what you're running your rear quarter panel is always vunerable to attack. That's why keeping chat down during the race is good so we can call out such moves. The immersion level is greatest in cockpit view as today's safety seats and Hans devices really limit you to just your mirrors.

I'm still struggling like crazy to get used to the cockpit view, I don't like not being able to see anything on the right-hand side of my car. Can the Kinect be set up to head track so I can at least look a little over to the right?

Like I said at the Glenn, I should have told you I was on your inside. Had I said something the outcome of that first lap may have been different. usually everyone in this league is pretty good with letting you know what side they are on. I myself use crew chief even though for some reason it cut out when I had the second Pcars dash running on my android. I am thinking of mapping a couple of buttons to left and right looks.

I do like that format a lot but it takes a lot of planning and I think it's a bit complicated for the support series. The point layout is competitive enough I believe it will be close in the standings throughout.

 

[Michael Watts]

True, would take two lobby's. keep it sprint but I do like the forced stop idea.

 

[EpilepticToast]

every race will have 1 mandatory pit stop now to adjust what you want, or to buy as much time as possible in the pit by not doing anything.

 

[EpilepticToast]

45 min will be the target lets see what poll goes for

 

[EpilepticToast]

OP updated with new schedule! let me know if you really hate it, I reckon it'll be great racing.

Stewards decision

Incident with andrew and dean
Racing incident, no further action.
Just need to be more aware of surroundings, even if it is lag, we know how destroying it can be.

Incident with andrew and benjamin
Warning to Benjamin. Please try and be a bit more cautious.
Despite the clear, although unintended take out, Benjamin did wait and drop to almost last.

 

[2pfspiff]

I like it.

Brian Batiato / Spiff2pf / Have to look at the cars again. Was testing with the 14 RS01.

Quick question. What is a good setting to set tire wear at if you don't have the time to put in the full race for practice so I can get an idea of what tire wear I will have in an actual race? This week my schedule is not giving me a lot of time to practice for tomorrow let alone next week.

 

[EpilepticToast]

I'd say 4x for tomorrow and 2x for WEC. Not sure if it'll be the same though.

 

[Peter Hooper]

what series is that btw Peter ?

Just a small group of us over on the Console Racing Site. We run Time Trial challenges every fortnight which is a lot of fun and this RS01 series which is to be run every few weeks. Should be a lot of fun

Is where Originalkid6 has come from who is interested in the Indycar series.

cool I have to take a look at that. What do you think of my improved planned schedule Peter?

 

[Michael Watts]

2x for 15 laps should about do it
Strange thing is car seems to handle differently from offline to online. I'm actually faster online. Just remember to set room up with ABS and Traction, just in case it has some hidden ECS we don't know about. I really didn't know the BMW had that until middle of last season.
