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!

I'll share mine as well, as I am also on the TX. I have some good helmet cam settings for you too.

Zhuhai is renowned in TNGTC for crazy wet races, but with this being dry can it still be a good race?
Hard to pass here so could be follow the leader. Nice track just never did very well here


Burnout paradise is being remastered, but what old games would you like to see remastered?
Toca touring cars


Will season 6 be remembered as one of your favourites?
I’ve enjoyed it but it’s going on to long lol, if a bagged a win it would be a great season

 

[Peter Hooper]

Cheers guys that'll be great

I really enjoyed using helmet cam in pCars 1 but haven't ventured into that yet with this game so getting those settings will give me a good start

My throttle pedal is in a bad condition

Open the pedal unit, spray some WD40... and it’s done! Will take you about 15 minutes.

I managed to pop home at lunchtime to continue my test of this game post patch and was quite surprised by the result. I opted for a different car and this time chose the NIssan Oreca LMP2 car but stuck with the Nurburgring GP circuit to make sure it was a fair test. As expected based on my previous test 15 AI was fine with no issues other than the weak FFB which unfortunately seems to be just the way the game is regardless of the number of AI.. for me at the moment at least.

I moved on to 16 AI which is where the problems came with my Audi R8 test but this time there were no such problems. Car handling remained stable and the same as with 15 AI, no weird FFB behaviour and racing close with the AI was no problem. I then took a big jump and went for 25 AI expecting the game to really fall apart under that additional stress. Surprisingly once again the game was fine. Handling was unchanged, no struggling with rear grip, no nuts FFB effects and I was able to run side by side with the AI without a hitch. Really caught me out with this result.

So it seems the problem is car specific and it's left me wondering whether perhaps it's the closed cockpit cars that are a problem as the Oreca of course is open. I 'll be doing further tests of this over the coming days but it's certainly a nice surprise

 

[Peter Hooper]

Oh one thing though and this has nothing to do with the AI numbers but the Oreca had virtually zero audio!! I could hear everything else around me fine but my car was almost silent. I wenbt to the replay and went onboard my car but it was fine. Anyone experienced this with this or any other cars?

I'll report it over at the forums but just thought I would mention it here in case there are others with a similar problem.

Don't worry about it Brian. Whenever you can do it will be great

Zhuhai Isn't wet? Nah I'm not racing then.

Wii Sports

It's had it's up and downs. However Season 4 is hard to beat.

Of course. It just needs some clean racing and it can be good.

Some of the old Need For Speeds (Underground 1 & 2, & Most Wanted)

Will season 6 be remembered as one of your favourites?

Well, it has the factor that i missed in S1, new game and no one fully knows it yet. But i dont think it'll be one of my favourites.

 

[Chunt04]

Does anyone know how to post pictures from an iPhone here on race department?

Not sure if it's any different with an iPhone compared to a Samsung but I just use the 'upload a file' feature available when composing a new message here and point the resultant pop-up to wherever the photo is that I want top include in my message. This is not available in a PM for some reason though.

Should be relatively close with the drivers we have, but there isn't many left, so could also be spread out.

Destruction derby.... no seriously the actual game.... not an open lobby on f1.

I was more conpetitve this season, but was way too long and lost interest a few times. Maybe about 10-12 tracks a season.

P.s. just to remind everyone that never reads anything i post, that i will not be here for the next two races.
