I would argue PCARS has an outstanding car selection. Highly focused on race machines. That's perfect.

GutBomb posted:It is a lot better with a wheel. It's more fun and feels really good to drive. Unfortunately the other elements of the game (abysmal car selection, terrible career mode) keep it down. I honestly didnt mind the idea of the career mode what little I played, it seemed like an evolution of the old Toca racedriver games. I'm realy tempted to get a G920 but just dont have the space for a wheel setup. Hell, i'd love to use a wheel in Eurotruck too!

I wouldn't want to play the game with a controller but with a wheel it at least controls pretty drat good.

holocaust bloopers posted:I would argue PCARS has an outstanding car selection. Highly focused on race machines. That's perfect. Yeah I really like the car and track selection. It's definitely a wheel-only game for me. Whenever I've tried to play with a controller it has ended in frustration, no matter how much I fiddle with settings.

I play with a controller without issued, but I do have to gently caress with steering ratio constantly if I switch cars. What works for f1 does not work for street cars.

Yeah, I didn't find PCars so bad with a controller once making the minor control changes suggested within the first few days after release. I did use TC and SC though and sometimes had to tweak the car setup to make some cars less spin-happy (particularly high powered RWD ones). Default car setups being awful, AI being running into you all the time (and being wildly inconsistent in performance... on the same difficulty I can go from gaining a full second a lap on one track to being dead last, unable to keep up with the slowest AI on another), AI not heeding blue flags/getting out of the way of different car classes in multi-class races, and the generally lifeless feeling of the career wore me down. Also: lack of polish items like race ruining pit stop bugs lasted for months which was weak as gently caress (nothing like taking your last pit stop on a multi-hour endurance race only to have your pit crew forget to put air in your tires  ).From the brief bit I played after getting a wheel, it felt pretty good with no tweaks, but a wheel doesn't remedy most of my gripes with the game.

Even with the controller issues, PCARS has remained easily my most played game in years. I find keeping the sensitivity on 50, controller filtering around 70, and speed sensitivity around 70 to be essentially solid the vast majority of the time. I don't use aids whatsoever. TCS depending on weather sure, but everything else remains off. But yea it's definitely not a perfect product. The track selection and car roster is so good. bloops fucked around with this message at 01:29 on Apr 8, 2016 |

I've been playing through career on PC, did TC1 Clio Cup, then GT5, now currently doing LMP3 in the Radical SR3-RS, such a fun car, crazy braking. Currently just got to a pair of long-ish invitationals, the Ruapuna Park 30-lap Trans-Am race, and the 3-hour McLaren F1 race at Zolder. Do I have to race the whole 3-hour guy in one sitting, saving and coming back to it later, can I let the AI do a stint, or am I stuck driving the whole thing non-stop?

You can turn down the length so it's a much more manageable length, but there's no way to save and restart, nor do I think you can let ai drive for you. Whenever the 24 hours races pop up I turn them all the way down and pause and alt+tab a lot.

You can (unless they changed it) let the AI drive for you. It's an option when pitting, "Swap Driver." I think you can swap back in on later pit stops, but, even if you don't, you still have to let the race play out in real time; not totally sure though since I only used AI driving after bugs hosed over previous attempts at the endurance in question since I wasn't happy that the game wasted an hour and 45 minutes of my time (2 hours is the minimum scaled duration for 24 hour races) because my crew decided to not put air in my tires on my last pit stop.  Also in the later stages (depends on event) you can choose "Skip to end of race" and it'll simulate to the end; this is risky, particularly in an endurance race, though because sometimes the simulation decides to take liberties.* * Oh, you were first place by like 3 laps? Well, tough break: you magically lost that lead with only two laps to go and finished 3rd.

Goddamn even in the loving 125cc gokarts I'm shitter than poo poo in this serious business simulation of competitive automotive shenanigans. I have no wheel/pedal setup and I'm not likely to be grabbing one soon so I must suffer the use of an Xbone controller and that is likely most of my problem, what with the short, exaggerated travel of the triggers and stick. Steering isn't the problem so far, I may or may not also have a lead foot, which I'm working on curing.

I recently finished my LMP3 rookie career and decided to shunt over to GT4 instead of advancing to LMP3 semipro and holy heck is it fun. I ran time trials of all the cars in class around Laguna Seca, and picked the Aston. Poor little Rocket Bunny can't keep up with the others  .If I was a better driver I think the Ginetta would probably be the best, as it handles and brakes really nicely but it's just down on power and the Aston and Mustang outrun it pretty easily on the fat bits.

So do the default tunes. Pcars requires a bit of work to get set up. Try bumping steering sensitivity, gas, and brake to 100 and control filtering to 60-70 ish For tunes, keep front springs and sway bar stiff and soften the rears. Bump differential settings to 70%. That'll be a big help.

I saw this setup posted earlier in the thread and grabbed it but all the control setup sliders are padlocked for each of the Xbone controller options Steering deadzone: 0 Steering sensitivity: 10 Throttle deadzone: 0 Throttle sensitivity: 10 Brake deadzone: 0 Brake sensitivity: 10 Clutch deadzone: 0 Clutch sensitivity: 0 Speed sensitivity: 55 Controller filtering sensitivity: 25 (higher and I feel like I have noticeable input lag... even at 25 Karts/Superkarts have some noticeable input lag to me) Controller input mode: 3 Soft steering dampening: on Visual wheel filtering: on Opposite lock help: off

You can't change the settings? Keeping gas, brake, and steering at very low sensitivities means the game interprets inputs as a "on/off" type thing. You're gonna swap ends constantly.

Does one get tire failures in this game? I've been playing quite a bit now, and I've never had a tire go flat on me, at least that I can tell. Is it pretty obvious if/when they blow?

I used the 250cc Superkart for the first time, and holy poo poo these things are insane. I figured they would turn and brake on a dime, but I had no idea they could reach 150+ MPH  . The people who drive these things IRL must be out of their goddamn minds.

I was in a everything goes(car wise) pubby lobby and it was keeping up with lmp1 cars around monza. You only need to brake for the chicanes and the rest of the track you can do almost flatout, if a bit sideways.

Looked into the PCARS2 forums again. They're sure making some progress. The AI is being overhauled in being less stupid with racing lines and collisions, they're working on simulating their own physics collisions now instead of using PhysX, the new drivetrain simulation has undergone a first test, the live track stuff is about to be integrated with graphics, etc blah blah.

Sounds like good stuff. The way collisions can be "sticky" in the current game is pretty annoying. I got a Rift this weekend and spent some time driving the DW12 around Barcelona the other day and man that's a fun time.

Would like to hop on the Dev forum, yet appears i missed the window

Yah, and IIRC the window wasn't even open that long. Maybe a month after they've announced it. That said, I had tried it once or twice, a long while ago. I'm waiting for the new drivetrain stuff. As posted earlier in this thread, the devs finally acknowledged and admitted that the current differential implementation fucks with the physics more than it should. All those snap oversteering and lack of regripping on slides is apparently due to it.

Maybe the AI won't have god-tires that grip when cold and also grip perfectly when they run into the grass and gravel now. Also they might actually make mistakes instead of running perfectly for the whole race with no moments whatsoever.

That was my favorite thing when starting pole. Hey here's ten AI drivers passing you into turn 1 because they have optimum grip and brake heat already because gently caress you. Oh and outrageous grip on slick tires in the rain.
