A couple of extra suggestions that I forgot while doing this small list for pc2:

This is what I think PC2 might need to be just perfect:

- Minor tweaking on the diff model, specially the accell one
- Fair punishment on those who run very low pressures. Way more overheating and wear on those who abuse this, not just that lack of grip when they reach some certain temp. Lack of grip combined with the absolute overherheating+wear out
- The box pits developed in its entirety. To give strategies more importance via pit boxing when you do long races.

- Superlight Cars ( Ariel Athom, BAC momo, KTM-xbow; renaul radical etc) should have their own tier and not been mixed with road cars. Mixing them with road cars even when they are also road versions is still wrong imo, in what It comes to balance when racing. Just put them all in a "superlight" tier

- Online, at least on PC.... Usually a Ghost town. Just the couple of crowded servers. Really difficult to run a session and get people into it. I think they responsible for this really sad situation for the online on PC is the damn steamworks project cars is using, combined with the region lock. You know we all have to choose "London UK" in order to find some people to race with, and still, you usually have to join a more crowded room if you want to play...

So..., is PC2 using steamworks and region lock again?. That will kill the online once more in my opinion. Please devs use your own system, and specially get rid of the region lock, so everybody can see everybody when online.
____________________________________________

On a side note, but totally related to my first post regarding my fears of assetto corsa..., I've just purchased some extra content (Bannochbrae and some old vs new cars + ktm xbow, ruf crt yellowbird, etc), and just having a blast in the Scottish track while aboard the ctr yellowbird and the KTM xbow..., why has project cars been bashed so hard, and assetto corsa is held on such high esteem?. I can't just drive like this in assetto corsa, and still feels real enough in my opinion.

Then you're the living proof since you actually tried one of these cars that assetto "simulation" is not right, and project cars, at the very least, is more similar to reality, apart from fun. According to assetto corsa, road cars are not fun to drive. They are like driving on ice; almost imposible to rectify overteer, etc.

We really need more people like you telling the "purists" that reality doesn't equal extreme difficulty.

I wasn't taking a jab at AC. I didn't play it enough to comment on the game pro's and con's. It was more generic comment about supercars being performing well in real life.

On a side note, i searched just a bit on the web. At the end of the straight, i didn't think about watching the speedo, but i was in 4th gear before breaking before the curved bend. Since i reved the 3rd up to 8000-8500 RPM(cut-off), i was going more than 160Mph.

I may be wrong about the speeds, it's been a while. But i remember the gearing well.

The sound of the 8000 RPM... Just WOW! :D

Most people assume that since a supercar or race car has 600+HP it MUST be a handful to drive and therefore be difficult to master.

They tend to forget that the entire car, right down to the tires is designed for one purpose.... TO GET THAT POWER TO THE GROUND in a manageable way. If these cars were truly difficult to drive in real life, do you honestly think there would be so many of them on the road? I see Ferraris, Porsches, Lamborghinis, Lotuses, etc. on a daily basis. You can't tell me that every one of them is driven on public roads and highways by professional drivers. At best, they may have received or attended some basic High Performance driving lessons, but even that is doubtful.

No, the problem is that many sim racers somehow feel "cheated" if any joe schmo can simply jump into a LMP1 or LMP2 and relatively easily complete a few clean laps. "How is that possible?!?!?!?! I spent years perfecting my skills!!! That's not right!!!!" becomes the immediate reaction.

And I always find it amusing how people who have never driven anything more than a Toyota 86 on road tires, make comments like "the tires have too much grip" when they get into a track oriented virtual car/race car. Do you really think racing slicks have LESS grip than your 100,000 KM rated All Season tires???

If race cars were difficult to drive, then you wouldn't have so many "gentlemen drivers" in upper level cars (LMP2, GT3, etc.). There wouldn't be any Am classes at all. These drivers don't make a living out of driving race cars. Their seat time is limited. With so little seat time, how can they be competitive if the real cars were as difficult to drive as some "sims" make them out to be?

But as I have learned MANY years ago, when it comes to tearing apart the biggest competitor to your personal favorite racing game, never let common sense come in the way of the argument.

@honespc
I think you are overreacting a little and you are probably going too fast into corners, you need to tweak your FoV a little maybe to get a better sense of speed in AC. Most of the cars handle well enough. I despise the sounds that come with the game and the fact that cars feel a little bit too much like they are on rails, but it's far from what you are describing, we re not here to sh%t on AC, it's a good game.

The thing with both race cars and road cars is that they aren't difficult to drive , apart from say an F1 car which are notoriously difficult to launch most cars are relatively easy . The difference being is that when I had my Lotus I could lap Donnington and be at my limit , a professional would knock seconds off my time and be incredibly consistent .
I have no doubt if I had the chance to take a GT3 car out I'd be ok and could do multiple laps without an issue but I'd be know where near the times of a pro and know where near as consistent as one .
So what I'm trying to say is that driving them isn't hard but getting the maximum out of them and the consistency and racecraft most certainly is .

That I will completely agree with.

What drives me nuts is this attitude than seems to permeate the sim community that every sim should have a tire model that is akin to slicks on ice, and if it's any easier than that then it's not a proper sim. And it's not just one specific sim, and it's also nothing new. I have been involved in Sim racing since the grand Daddy of them all, Indianapolis 500 The Simulation by Papyrus. I have driven almost everything that has come out since then and have perused forums for every sim since forums became a thing (yes, I really am THAT old).

It's been the same story everywhere and every time. There is a prevailing attitude of "If my wife or girlfriend can drive it, it's not a REAL sim.".

There are also experts failing to discern the difference between ffb feel and car/tyre/track model and physics...
AC feels better on my wheel = best SIM ever!
Stop screwing up your pc1 ffb settings and drive a laser scanned track, dumbass...
Having a play of caster angle and steering ratio has a bigger difference than any ffb global settings I've noticed. Also the tyre compounds: omg the difference between the 68 and 72 tyres on the Lotus 49! Wow!

OK, rant ends..... I think this thread has fallen off the rails..... to put it back on track (see what I did there? :D ) I wish for more CANADIAN content in pCARS2. So many great tracks, yet not one in the current game (unless you count the Mosport track map for the track map icon in spectator mode).

YES... Sound is Everything!!! (for me)

Been to see some testing: the feeling of the lower register punching your chest and the reverb bouncing off the buildings and landscape, whine of the drivetrain, scraping of the splitter, crackling of the unburnt fuel on the over-run.

Absolutely! I was standing outside work recently and a GTR accelerated hard from the lights and went flying up the road past where I was. Wow! The sound was like nothing I have heard in any car game. And I do like the audio in Pcars!

Sensation of sound is a huge aspect. If you have ever been fortunate enough to be at the track when the Corvette GTE/GTLM is running laps, you FEEL it more than hear it. It hits you in the chest like a fist.

But you can't expect that level of bass and sound pressure from a $30 Logitech speaker set.
Or headphones (even Astros won't pound your chest).
Which is something some guys complain about game sounds.
I don't have a wild sound setup. Not happy with my Plantronics headset and, well, I'm not judging any YouTube videos or game sounds.

.. but this isn't really true any more. iRacing and AC both have become MUCH easier to drive in the past few years. It's also worth remembering that all of this "slicks-on-ice" used to be a lot worse. Shift 1 was actually the game that kind of stated "look, cars aren't that difficult to drive.. lets change things". Then came Shift 2 and people were downright angry about the grip levels.. until Assetto Corsa and pCars came out, both with a lot of grip and much easier over the limit characteristics. For some weird reason AC was considered the holy grail. Compared to what we had previously (netKar Pro / iRacing / ISI simulators) it was way grippier and got a lot of flak for being Sim-cade on the iRacing forums.

So lets give AC a bit of credit where it's due. Yes, granted, some cars were down right broken for a long time due to the bad differential model but once that got fixed most cars became easy to drive. At least in my opinion there is not a single car in AC right now that I'd consider "difficult". Then again, my reference point for difficult and weird is late beta testing for iRacing before that service launched.. so I've seen some truly weird sh*t. :)

No argument there. But there are certain sound elements that need to be available in game.

R3E is pretty much the standard to which all other sims are measured when it comes to sound. No, you don't have that chest thumping sensation, but you do hear the little sounds the way you should hear them. They tend to be missing, or not pronounced enough in pCARS. Things like tire squeal and brake squeal (steel brakes), and even transmission whine are either not present or not volumetric enough. And some of the throatier engines are just that little bit too high pitched. Overall, not bad, but certainly room for improvement.

They aren't "bad" enough to make me not play the game though obviously.....LOL

But, since this is the "Make a wish" thread, that's one of my wishes..... that fine tuning of the sound elements..... And more Canadian tracks!!!

Whenever I play racing games I crank the surround amp up enough so that I do feel the audio. It's such an important part of the overall experience. Supplement this with a Buttkicker under the cockpit seat and Crew Chief barking instructions through a headset and it's pretty damn immersive. Pictures have been known to fall off the walls in adjacent rooms.

Sound is a little buggy in pcars. Etron especially in MP. Sometimes the flywheel noise is there, sometimes not.

Also regarding gearbox, I wonder if more of the 80's race cars had dogboxes that could shift without clutch, like the Mercedes 190. That can flat shift without clutch in gears 2-6. I'm surprised to see more cars can't do it in the game. I'd like to see this improved. I've made a good few passes flat shifting in the 190 :D

You have to remember that those are established brands and SMS are just now making their second independent game...taking in consideration that they have to make said game with the profits (and some WMD cash) from the first edition you can understand that choices have to be made about what to do with their "funds"...
For me personally it's waaaaay more important having a game that shines in graphics,physics,etc...rather than spending (a whole lot of) cash on licenses....i'd rather drive an immaculate car on an imaginary circuit with proper handling than a licensed one on an official circuit with lousy handling...:cool:

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ""NO RACING LINE"" we just want to have racing leagues with no one haveing any advantages.. so please give the lobby HOST the ability to remove the racing line as an option.. THANKS AGAIN FOR LISTENING��

Actually racing driving is good for complete beginners. And if you have run the track for some time, the driving line is not good anyway, it doesn't help you much only as a reference for braking point. And even then, it's rarely the fastest line. I don't see it as an advantage, unless everyone is a total beginner and some are using and some are not.

Don't know who you're racing with.
None of the fast guys I've raced with (among them GT academy finalists, iRacing amateur WC) use the driving line. It's slower. It's not an aid if you're fast, it's a hindrance. A distraction. A hideous monstrosity. its not useful in rain. It's not useful at night. It's not even useful if you're slow but know the track.
The only time it's useful is red flag conditions eg night race in open wheelers. Or heavy fog where a real race would get stopped/yellow flagged anyway.

W.r.t. the handling of cars, SMS listens to the numerous handling consultants (i.e. real-life race drivers) that have been asked to give feedback on the game. Reality is the benchmark, not other games.

W.r.t. FFB feel, SMS is listening to the community what they like about the FFB of other games and see if and how that can be used to improve the FFB in pC2. Some things are taken in, others are put aside :)

The thing is they can have all the expert feedback in the world but if the physics engine is not up to it then its not likely to be much of an improvement. For me AC is way more realistic than pcars & any race driver that spent time in both games & had the settings setup correctly would say the same.

The thing is they can have all the expert feedback in the world but if the physics engine is not up to it then its not likely to be much of an improvement. For me AC is way more realistic than pcars & any race driver that spent time in both games & had the settings setup correctly would say the same.

To be fair, no sim today has it 100% accurate. There is so much unknown about why tires do what they do to be able to make accurate simulations. Tire companies spend millions of dollars using super computers to run their simulations for a single tire. We are asking gaming companies to do similar things on home computers, but add in graphics, AI, suspension, aero, sound, weather, etc... With that, each developer is going to focus their 'limited' computing power and knowledge on certain areas of the simulation.

There are areas were AC is strong and there are areas where pCARS1 is strong. If we could combine both of them together, that would be great. However, neither is really better than the other. They just have difference focuses on their tire models. Some will prefer one, others with prefer a different one. There is no right or wrong.

If you're not giving any arguments, it's just an opinion and claiming real driver agreement with no proof is false reasoning. It would be nice to know why you think so, though, because one can easily point to a lot of things that are completely missing from AC as well.
On the one hand, people refer to 'physics' and 'realism', but in the end the only concrete thing they come up with is 'it feels better/more convincing'. It has been established numerous times that many people prefer AC's FFB over pCARS's FFB, and also that camera movement in AC gives a better impression of car movement. But those things aren't physics, only visual and haptic clues. As long as that discussion isn't done much better and very sharply, it's just posting subjective impressions and confusing different concepts. Entertaining for a while, but hardly a discussion about realism.

Well i didn't really see the point because its been discussed many many times. Actually for most of those discussions in the past i sided with pcars. In terms of the camera though I'm on the Rift so that doesn't apply to me. But just to add a bit of weight, I've driven some of the cars in the game irl & they are very very close. The tyre model is very good in v10, it breaks away & behaves very convincingly (its not perfect as they sometimes cool too quickly) but its very good. The suspension & weight transfer has always been good in AC imo. I do appreciate the fact that in AC it's actually a better VR experience, audio feedback from the tyres is better imo & some other little things that probably push my bias in terms of how i compare the handling. The gentleman in this video goes into some detail bette rthan i can about a few things he notices https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5tUiZosnA4. I agree with the points he makes.

Not to jump into the discussion to take any side or something but that video is superb, a great way to understand both games better for the big racing enthousiast with average skill as myself. :)

I own both games on XBox and to me the PC vs AS comparision is as follows :

* In AC they put every effort in the handling and FFB model. The designers have their studio in the complex of a race track itself and I'm sure they took full advantage of that. Also apart from AC the game there is also AC the sim for professional usage. The end product for us is a game that has outstanding driving/racing but misses out on a lot of other aspects. This is purely for the driving/racing itself and not much more. Love the handling, love the FFB, love the laser scanned tracks, and love the inclusion of the big 3 that are absent in PC1: Lambo/Ferrari/Porsche (which all seem to make it into PC2 though).

* In PC I know the devs work really hard with real life racing drivers like Rene Rast for testing feedback, they also get accurate info into their car models as well, I always loved reading up that insider info when new cars were released in DLC packs and how they did the handling tech behind the car. The handling model might not be as great as AC, it is still FAR better than that other option on my XBox One which is Forza 6. However were Project CARS really shines is about everything else around that racing. Fully configurable controls, a sublime singleplayer racing career, great dynamic weather effects that affect pit strategy, a VERY immersive helmet camera, superb graphics that still make me admire them almost 2 years after release, a track list that puts about every other racing game on consoles to shame.

In the end what we all want is immersion and realism. For me that is the combination of both the driving/racing itself but also everything around it. While I like the driving/handling/FFB in Assetto Corsa more, I find the lack of dynamic weather effects or the rather dull track graphics (*) and the missing career calender from PC a big matter as well. For the total package, PC1 is more immersive for me.

(*) A few more words on that "rather dull track graphics" in AC. Both dev teams did a historic version of Silverstone, the one in AC is the 1967 layout, the one in PC is the 1975 layout which is almost identical apart from the extra chicane just before the start/finish. Just driving on this great track in both games, the atmosphere from everything on the side of the track is much bigger in PC than in AC. That PC historical version of Silverstone feels much more alive than the one in AC. Give them a try back to back for about 10 laps or so and you will see what I mean.

Both games have their pros and cons. And for the real sim racing enthousiast there is not PC or AC, there is PC and AC.

Don't expect the Monaco name to happen any time soon due to licensing. The Moncao Circuit name is very tightly protected. Very few games have the actual name for it. I think the F1 games with the Official FIA Formula1 licensing might be the only ones. That license for that track name is very much like the Porsche license was.

As for Suzuka, I hope that they can do it in the future, but I wouldn't want it at the expense of Sakitto. I really enjoy Sakitto. It's actually one of my favorite tracks in game. The loss of the hairpin and the final chicane actually makes the track flow better for me.

I know I've mentioned this elsewhere, but I hope the opposite. I loathe Sakitto despite loving Suzuka. The corner that replaced the hairpin is probably one of my least favorite corners in the entire game. However, I like the Sakitto National circuit more than the real life counterpart, sooooo...I'm torn.

I know what I would LIKE to appear in the game...

1. Better server connection.
2. Bigger lobbies for consoles - 16 really isn't big enough and since we know at least 22 CAN be done, I'd love 22+ VEHICLE lobbies to be an option for decent multi-class racing.
3. Driver swaps, specifically for online. See #3 - Again, this is for multi-class (endurance) racing and having at least 2 drivers per car.
4. More fleshed out categories - GT3 was and still is great, but I'd really love more GTE/GTLM, LMP, Touring and DTM cars. Hell, the more fleshed out categories the better!
5. Controllable BoP online - Because fair competitive performance is a good thing :)
6. Much, MUCH improved contact model - Because getting stuck together and not being in control as you fly into the barrier because of it, sucks.
7. Better vehicle setup menu information.
8. Better controller setup information.
9. Closer performance level for pad and wheel users.
10. More dynamic pad performance - For example, catching oversteer on PCars was/is next to impossible, regardless of what you did with the pad settings and actual driving ability.
11. Improved online race replays - PCars ones were pretty broken.
12. Maybe better support for streaming league races - Better cameras and broadcasting options.
13. Obvious one, but MORE TRACKS.

Next couple are just personal wants because... well... because.

It's because most English speakers (myself included) can't pronounce Hunaudieres properly, so the section of road is referred to as the Mulsanne straight. It leads from Tertre Rouge to the Mulsanne Corner and the village of Mulsanne, which is where the name comes from.

One of the sole reasons I play some stupid hard "sims" like assetto corsa from time to time, is to be able to get my hands on one of my fav cars ever, the f40.

However, as you SMS probably know it handles.., let's say, soo unrealistically hard, and worse.., slow. So, If you were able to make the car available in pc2 given you've got the ferrari licence as well, and in the process teach Kunos that such monster grip car shouldn't be that nerdgasmically hard to drive in real life, that alone would make me the happiest project cars player ever.

Driving the F40 in project cars would be the greatest experience ever.

Something I hope is improved in PCars2: more consistent lighting across different camera views, track looks considerably darker in cockpit view depending on the car like it can be sen in the videos below (2 videos of the same lap at noon in cockpit & hood view):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3PCtWz0LPU

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE-t8gf-Ex4

This is something I really hope has had some attention, I sort of understand the complex reasons for it happening, but the changing contrast with different FOV, and varying also a lot with different cars can be very frustrating, very glad to hear that all cars will now use lights in all low light conditions in Pcars 2

Cheers Dakpilot

Guys, I'm a little confused. On all the new Gamplay videos of pCars2, the shadows
unfortunately still look pretty bad after two years. No softshadows with antialiasing
possible?

Therefore my wish! Clearly better shadows which do not flicker and have better
antialiasing!

I've seen high quality mods in all games I've played, it's just a matter of knowing where to look and how to filter the bad ones out.

High quality mods are rare and take a while to build. If the dev cycle between each game is two years then something like Virtua LM Group C which was in the backburner for several years is not viable to make.

I hope for a solution that makes it easier to test setups, say you're struggling with a section of one particular track, you should be able to select this part of the track (set a start and end point), and then be able to change setup and test drive this part of the track over and over again with no loading in between.

UT3 had mods on PS3 back in 2007. It's totally doable but apparently Sony & MS make things difficult.Obviously, they don't want illegal content to run on their hardware.
X1 mod support exists, but it is highly restricted (you cannot change the base code).
No doubt even if mods were supported on consoles on pcars2, it would have to be approved by SMS and/or the console manufacturer, meaning, any unlicensed car, track, or brands would not pass the approbation.

pcars 1 have mod support for cars on PC, but indeed, for all players to enjoy additional content, DLC would be the key (kind of like the liveries pack)

Better controller support

I'm having a little nightmare with my Xbox 360 controller on PC (No, i'm not getting a steering wheel), sensitivity any higher than zero makes the game feel too twitchy, and unless i've missed something controls are not rebindable.

You'll be happy to know that Ian already confirmed the controller code having been heavily revised and working much, much better already.

Bang up the steering sensitivity to ~25 (mode 3) but increase both speed sensitivity and controller filtering to ~50. If it's still twitchy, try 75 for speed sensitivity next.

I might be the only one wanting this but it would be really nice if an offline Championship mode were added to Project Cars 2. Lack of this is one of the major reasons I don't really enjoy most of the non-officially licensed racing games anymore. It would be really nice to be able to select a class of cars, number of races, and tracks and then just run a full season of races instead of only being able to do these calendar events of insanely short series or random classes. Having a large variety of cars and classes is great but not if you have to drive a bunch of classes you have no interest in. It's a big enough reason for whether or not I buy a new racing title. I really hope Project Cars 2, GT Sport or whatever other upcoming racers would include this cause I'd really like to play something other than the F1 series of racers

I customized the button setup on my 360 controller. You can adjust sensitivity in controller settings, also you should go to car setup and adjust steering setting, most cars I've tried steering is set on the faster settings, bringing it somewhere in the middle makes the car easier to drive.

Not quite, but it has been confirmed (SMS-The American) that you can select up to four separate classes, so it is true selectable multi class rather than 'custom'

GTE and GT3 are no longer one class

the example given was LMP 1 LMP2 GTE/LM and GT3

Just ran into this video on YouTube. What do you guys think about it? I have no experience in open wheelers or really long races but the guy does seem to have some valid points.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMo1vgxA6OQ

This is not the first video of him which I found interesting. One of the other interesting ones is where he compares the physics in Project CARS with Assetto Corsa (part 1 & 2).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5tUiZosnA4

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dI45Rfjkhec&t=90s

He might seem like an "Assetto Corsa fanboy" to some of you but if you go through his YouTube channel there are videos where he goes through Assetto Corsa's things-to-improve as well.

I think he's a genuine racing sim fan who just wants to enjoy the most realistic racing experience possible in whatever games does it the best. Like most of use are I assume. :)

TheBaldReverend

19-02-2017, 13:13

I only watched the first video, very, very good.

He mentions that SMS should explain what went wrong and if it's been fixed, I agree. While PCars 1 was flawed, it was a massive undertaking and I understand that maybe commercial interests had to overtake the polishing of the game and maybe some things did not quite come up to scratch. I accept that and I'm sure most people do as well.

However, I haven't played PCars in a long time, these flaws are game breakers for me - I enjoy hot lapping etc but the real meat of the game for me are the longer races where weather and tyre strategy come in to it. For that I accept that I will have to wait for PCars 2, it would be nice to hear from SMS that the issues are fixed and I'm genuinely interested in what went wrong the first time around, not so I can criticise, but just from a player who is interested and invested in the game and wishes for its success.

That's dismissing a complete world of very exciting possibilities just because on particular attempt at it (in a different game) wasn't good. As stated above, the community-built LMP cars in pC1 are awesome, there's so much data available of real cars that any 'fantasy' car SMS builds is only 'never-seen-before' design coupled with 'very-much-based-on-real-life' physical behaviour. And it saves a lot of money on licensing. basically you can build any real-life car w.r.t. driving behaviour, but just looking different. Dismissing it as 'fantasy' is just way too simplistic thinking.

Yeah maybe my one-liner was a bit short-sighted so I deserve that reply. :) But I will never like fictional cars or tracks as much as the real deal. Big part of the fun for me is to blend in real world racing with sim racing. After watching the Dubai 24h, the Daytona 24h and the Bathurst 12h this year I am so much in the mood to do some races there myself with the exact same cars. Even for the lesser popular tracks or cars, I enjoy digging up info of those tracks or cars and learn about them. I enjoy comparing sim data with real life data. If the car isn't real there isn't any background info at all. For the RWD & Marek cars, I have no clue how much displacement they supposed to have, are they NA or turbocharged, etc. There is no wikipedia or youtube to dig further into those cars. The fact that they also seem to top every leaderboard (at least on XBox) is a bit of a letdown as well IMO. I personally don't like the fact that these fantasy LMP1 cars beat the real world ones.

Just yesterday I was digging a bit deeper into the Alpine A442B car, it's fascinating to watch some YouTube videos about it just before or after driving the car in the game as well. With the Marek and RWD cars I simply can't have that kind of satisfaction. Real world background info makes me appreciate cars in sims so much more, especially the ones I didn't knew about before or the lesser common ones. You simply cannot do that with fictional cars.

Yes.

They were designed using the actual ACO rules (for 2013 IIRC). Basically, SMS didn't want fantasy cars which looked out of place. So there was a contest during WMD1 to design a prototype using the current LMP ruleset at the time. All of the entries had to study and comply the ACO regulations which in itself was a feet. IMO, that's why they fit so well in pCARS as they were purposefully designed (rather than just taking some pen to a pad and cranking out what looks good).

Do we have some more data on the specs of these cars than what is available from the in-game info? Like for example displacement, aspiration, etc.

I know from this page (https://www.behance.net/gallery/9531529/2013-RWD-P30-6-LMP1) that the P30 is supposed to be a 3L turbocharged engine, curious what the other 3 supposed to have under the hood. Can anyone with access to the PC1 WMD forums dig up that info pretty please? :)

If you guys never saw it, there was some initial information posted on the SETA model for pCARS1:

I'm hoping something similar is updated for pCARS2.

My two wishes, came about while playing last night:

A flashback feature for single player. I know, I know, "git gud" and all that. You don't have to use it. But having a tense, long race ruined because of one mistake is fun for one person, and not fun for another person. Let's give the second group the option of having their type of fun.
I really, really, really hope that the tire model improvements are also ported to AI cars. It's frustrating in PCARS1 to see how much faster the AI cars are on cold or wet tires because they don't play by the same rules (for obvious processing reasons, of course)... if we're struggling with a more realistic tire model but can't keep up with the AI because of it, that'll be disappointing.

I definitely hoping for some tech stuff even though i probably will not understand it.

I'd like to see a setup repository a la Forza where users can upload, download and rate set ups.

I know people have already mentioned being able to save multiple setups for each car at track, but I think on top of that it would be great if we could set AI opponents to use setups we've created. Games like rFactor have that option and it really improves offline racing imo.

Is there any chance that drag race will be in pCARS 2? and why not? A straight road + starting line + finishing line. it is that simple.

id like a season pass and the ability to pick your own race number

I doubt a custom racing number will always be possible though. If it's just a black-on-white racing number on the foreseen stickers on the car then yes please! But there are some liveries where the racing number is part of the livery art (like in NASCAR for example) so it will be hard to do it there if they want to keep the livery authentic.

Easy to do when stickers available:

Impossible to do without messing up the livery or font:

For road cars (production series models) I also hope there will never be racing numbers as that would take away from the immersion. As long as there are enough manufacturer colors to choose from it should be easy enough to fill a race with unique model/color combinations. Besides I don't think eSports uses the production series models that much, if even at all, they should stick to the race cars. :)

Could you add motorstadion in Lidköping?, no idea about licencing etc unfortunately but since it's in Sweden you can drive shifter karts in the snow if you add it! :D

I'd link you to them but since this is my first post I'm apparently not allowed to

"Working on" doesn't mean "yes it's confirmed".

27-02-2017, 21:17

aah I missed that info. Working on is probably coming, I honestly don't think it will be that hard to program since the number for the car is already known in the UI anyway.

Would make superb replays as well! :)

Fingers crossed and big thumbs up if this makes it in!

They have Seta and live track. I'm sure they can figure out the lights.
But coding isn't the problem, it's the resources they have to run the code. PS and XB only have so much processing power.

- I loved the Mojave test track, so I'd love to see that track modified with stands and pit lane, and therefore, be present and included in the career mode with all it's possible layouts;

- I'd love to see the Austin-Texas GP, USA track, as well as the Istanbul GP, Turkey; Valencia would be awesome as well;

- I know It'd involve paying the license, but I'd really like to have all three BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Audi DTM cars;

- In addition, and I know this is very unlikely, I'd like to have Super GT cars (I wonder if GT still has the exclusive?);

Some of Real Racing 3's most silly events are in fact that, race a track in the opposite direction. It's horrible you know, there is usually no flow whatsoever and the track doesn't seem to make any sense. :) Not to mention it would be highly unrealistic for most tracks.

Do note though that in PC1 for Sakitto and it's secondary pits, for 2 track configurations you use that pits in 2 different directions. So there is a little bit of opposite direction racing. :)

I'd hate to see that. I tried some circuits on F1 2016 in the opposite way round in TT and they were horrible. It was clear to see which direction they were designed for and it's the one we race.

Also it would be pretty troublesome to set all the brake markers and advertising boards for the reversed version. And no, you could not ignore that because the partners and probably the track owners themselves would insist on it.

What I would like to see in Pcars 2 is the total mileage I've driven with a certain car or on a certain track.

breyzipp

Circuits are designed with the driving direction in mind. I don't see the point in driving them the opposite way...

As for the topic: I would like to see implemented:
- Personal best times per car/track saved and visible (no matter if set in race or free practice)
- Extra controls for shifting up/down, making it possible to use a dedicated SQ shifter, H-pattern shifter and wheel paddles without having to change controls.
- I was going to add triple screen support, but that seems to be confirmed :)

heck yes! One of my own most wanted features as well. As mostly a single player I want to compare MY own times and see how I am doing against myself. It would be a tremendous help for tuning as well.

On the GT planet Q&A thread this is currently the most recent pending question so let's hope we get a response.
