What AI difficult is everyone playing on? I started a Kart series and am lapping peoe and taking first place in every race with it set to 50.

I have it set to 50 as well since it's my first racer and I like lapping fools and whatnot.

I play with it on 80. I haven't tried it more difficult yet and the only races I've actually done are kart races. Once I know the track I win every time and lap a few backmarkers. I'm going to try turning it all the way tonight after I install my new video card this game made me buy (gtx 970)

So is online in PCars (PS4) a little janky? (or a lot?) Tried to join about 10 games. 8 of which just hung at the "connecting" part. When I did get in, one just sat in the lobby forever despite being full/ready. (and everyone had red ping.) And when I finally got into a race, I encountered split-second (but quite noticeable) freeze-ups at certain parts of the track...

Yesterday I joined a race, lobby got full, pretty much everybody voted to start the race and the counter didn't even move, after a while I just said gently caress it and quit. What I've noticed is that if you have the option to "join the current session" while you're waiting in the lobby, it will take you to the track for practice, and even then it's not a sure thing: sometimes you can practice and sometimes it takes you to a 2nd waiting lobby where you're just listening to other people practice. I wish there was some kind of guide or explanation of what is going on while you're trying to join a race online. There's a lot of waiting involved that's for sure.

Nostratic posted:Is there a retard's guide to career mode? Because I'm tired of racing lawnmowers. I'm in season 2 and burned out on the kartzzzzzzzz and have no idea how to progress aside from grinding away at races. Yes; invitationals will be jumped to automatically when they come before your next season-related race. Also, I wish I had a lawnmower capable of 160 MPH, but, hey, Honda comes close.

I've completed the first karts championship and selected my team for the 250cc karts, but all I've been getting is invitational races, not a single 250cc race.

Someone discovered that the AI has zero awareness of tire wear when it's been accelerated. They'll routinely blow tires and drive on rims without actually pitting for a new set.

Can I take less fuel starting a race? I see Pit Setup, but it will not allow me to drop the amount of fuel I start a race with anywhere I see. In Formula Rookie, you use about 8% of the fuel it loads you in with.

Popete posted:Do you guys play with restarts? I'm at 50 difficulty with all settings set to real. I tried Real assists for a bit, but the McLaren F1 not having Traction or Stability control made me throw in the towel on that because the ~1cm range of accelerator motion on the controller makes the throttle way too touchy to pretty much even drive in practice (made worse by the tires taking half or more of the practice session to warm up in the invitationals I've been doing with 12 minutes for practice), let alone trying to race against other cars. I have the toggle assist keys bound so I adjust them based on car as feels necessary (the Caterham 7, for example, is fine without any enabled). I'd rather have more difficult AI and not screw up spectacularly as often with assists helping than have AI that I can trounce as long as I can keep my car from spinning/crashing personally.  Hopefully in the coming months it'll be in the cards to get a wheel and I can then leave the assists in the past since I won't have my "I'm on a controller" cop out anymore (and, hopefully, legit won't feel like I need them with an actual pedals/wheel that has a lot more range of motion). holocaust bloopers posted:Someone discovered that the AI has zero awareness of tire wear when it's been accelerated. They'll routinely blow tires and drive on rims without actually pitting for a new set. Curiously, it once happened on pit road and I couldn't for the life of me figure out why there was a warning for a crash ahead every lap on the main straight during a practice session. It was only after returning to garage to change my car setup that I saw an AI was nose-planted into the wall separating the main straight and the pits (on the pits side).

I wish instead of restarts, PCARS had rewind like in Forza or Dirt 3. That's a better alternative.

Ether Frenzy posted:Same boat. Some cars are driveable, some are utterly ridiculous. There's no rhyme or reason to it, unless it's that I'm just not hard core Sim HERO enough to drive a 300hp street car in a straight line (I own a V8 M3 in real life). I spent 2 hours last night dicking with control schemes and each car is a brand new challenge to keep from doing a U-turn left when you have the wheel turned completely to the right and are going 3-11 mph with your foot off the gas. I'm sure glad they let you change all these incredibly detailed control options and then have to back out of a session just to change them and then go back into the game again. Also none of the control options actually say what they do. All I know is just dont turn off the countersteer help, becasuse when you have it off you have to make sure your countersteer is just a tiny flick on the stick or you just send the car into a tank slapper. Yeah I know buy a wheel blah blah, I have one its attached to my loving track car.

I'll be at Brands hatch on the 17th next month and hopefully snetterton the next if nothing blows up, I dont have room foor a drat wheel setup unfortunately. I'm kinda glad this game has a decent amount of uk tracks because it lets me figure out the basic layouts of the ones I havent been to yet.

there is a dirtbag way to spectate all you have to do is find a way to dq yourself and you can watch the race monitor from the pits you can watch a whole race if you dq yourself by jump starting

Just ran my first race in the classic Lotus, with random weather. It was like a hurricane, and there was a huge pileup BEFORE turn one and I broke the left front wheel completely off.

Just picked this up on PS4 and I'm loving it. I was kicking rear end in career mode with the 125cc karts; transferring to the superkarts has proved to be challenging, however. This thing just loves to wobble and bounce and go all over the damned place. It's insane. I'm a broke bastard, so no wheel for me any time soon. As much as I'd love one.

See you in 15 hours I guess. I get bored of that track after two laps. It's obviously technically demanding and there's value in that but a lot of tracks are technically demanding and don't strand you 15 minutes from the pit if something goes wrong.
