Project CARS 2 - general discussion thread

[PostBox981]

I'd like to add to above that the discussions regarding Livetrack were filled with dropped jaws of WMD members. It is a shame that this awesome tech became mostly known to the regular players as a base cause for the mega puddles.

Yes, LiveTrack 3.0 is simply fantastic and it would have deserved a little more attention during the hot advertising period. I don´t know as much about the competitors but I guess all of them don´t come even close. I assume that at least 99% of all pCARS2 gamers don´t have the slightest clue about it. Some people even think it´s a bug when the car doesn´t feel exactly the same all the time.

Yorkie's video does say

a) the rubbered line gets slippy when wet
b) the rubbered line does eventually get washed away

I fully agree with the earlier posts that while SMS seem to have a reputation for hype and salesmanship, they have not "sold" LiveTrack 3.0 sufficiently nor indeed the many advanced features in the physics engine. Yorkies amazing video has under 3K views.

The only aspect which seems to be missing is "polishing" of the track surface on the racing line which means the more abrasive tarmac off the racing line is still more grippy in the wet, even after the rubber has been washed away. I don't think any sim has this and in theory you would have to measure this at every corner at every track as presumably its not present on new tarmac and more pronounced with old tarmac.

Thanks David, I appreciate you taking the time to find that.

Is the pCars2 Still the future, or is there any plans about pCars3? Will there be more patches for pCars2?

I sometimes go on GT Planet and Raceroom for news on various things and it does make me sad when I see new things coming to various sims yet PC2 has been left. I understand the need to move on to develop other titles and projects but I wish some of the team could still improve and add new content.

I know what you mean and wish the same. However, in 12 months PC2 got over 30 new cars and 6 new tracks in DLC. When Raceroom, rF2 or iRacing get new content just think of it as them slowly catching up with what PC2 got some time ago.

Your right I suppose , I certainly can’t complain about content as PC2 is stacked with it. A few updated GT3 and GT4 cars would be nice though.
Looking forward to the day I switch to PC and have a bit more choice, unless I hold out for a Mad Box
