Backed at the full member tier and it is amazing how far this game has come. The physics are really dialed in now and the graphics are jaw dropping. Can't wait for the final version.

I can also confirm I still can't drive a standard worth poo poo. I can turn all assists off and manual transmission and go around the track at fast speed in perfect control but my race pace sucks because I am bad at shifting at the right times so oh I slowed down for this corner way too much and just lost 2 seconds welp.

ethanol posted:What, because they don't have full race weekend simulation? Having played project cars now, it's really good but it doesn't give me dozens of cars to buy including my real life car. Presumably making the simulation so realistic didn't leave much time or money for car recreation and licensing Buying tons of cars isn't a draw to me. There are all variants of skylines half the time. I would much rather have actual race cars than a bunch of street cars. Full race weekend is way more important to me than a lot of cars.

Okay it turns out 25 laps would be over 2 hours which isn't a legal race length. How about 13?

Anyone that hates karts has obviously not raced super karts. I finished my season one of my career in the regular karts and got a contract for a super kart team and God are those things fun. I don't know why I bother reading discussion on that site instead of just getting news from it. People comparing Pcars to forza and gt when the level of simulation is totally different. They are not the same genre of course Pcars doesn't have hundreds of cars. I don't need to worry about my brakes and tires being cold in forza.

Went from Formula Rookie to GT3 at the end of my last career season. Looking forward to getting into the endurance race series at the end of my gt3 season. Then LP1 after that to finish the zero to hero goal.

The pedals on my wheel broke today. I was braking at Watkins Glen when the brake pedal snapped clean off. I don't have high hopes about Thrustmaster replacing it.

Yeah I turned ABS/Traction Control/whatever the third one is on and am playing with a 360 pad. It controls real nicely if you count insanely easy to the point of being trivial as nicely. With all those assists I can bomb around any track at top speed with no care in the world. Tapping the brakes in a corner in a Formula car with my wheel and all assists off could send me spinning and into a wall and dead. With the 360 controller it doesn't matter what the gently caress I do. Took a lot of the fun out of the game for me personally.

I was having a mad over reaction to my pedals breaking. I was real upset over it and wanted to take out my frustrations somehow. I really don't expect Thrustmaster to do anything and I can't afford a new wheel.

So I was racing my first race in the F1 part of the career and hosed up my fuel load at some point. I was on lap 20 out of 52 and had burned 70 liters out of my starting 100 liters. There is no refueling allowed just like real F1. The max for the car is 240. I was messing with different setups for the car to try to get some extra speed and must have messed up the setting and then saved it as the default.

Reviews across the board have been mid 8's to mid 9's. Except for Shacknews that gave it a 6/10 just because it is a sim and the reviewer doesn't like those. Otherwise the reviews have been really positive. I think F1 racing is the best part of career mode and I'm kinda puzzled why it was tier 2 instead of the end of the line Tier 1. The LMP 1 season was pretty disappointing. Only maybe 7-8 total locations per season and you race at each one twice per race weekend. F1 is 19 race weekends of 1 race per weekend and each of those 19 is a different location. Isn't F1 the top end thing in the real world anyway? Biggest stage biggest money? LMP 1 also has you do 2 races at Monaco which those big cars in those tiny streets of tight corners is a complete cluster gently caress. Avoiding the walls is basically impossible. The second race I was already so far ahead in points for the season I just started the race and immediately retired and took a DNF.

I'm here to give you the straight dope on the hardest car to drive in the game. The Formula A which I spent all morning driving with a controller while waiting for my ebay auction to end so I can get my wheel working again. The Formula A is a v8 F1 car based on the 2011 cars. It has DRS, KERS, and god drat near 1000 BHP. The thing is fast all the time and has poo poo tons of torque. You know the thing where you can spin F1 cars 180 degrees just by pushing the gas for half a second? You can totally do that with this one. I think this is the only car in the game I would say if you are racing with a controller it's okay to use assists. Even with assists on it can be a beast to handle at first but once you get maybe 20-30 minutes of practice you will come to love it. With assists on it felt just exactly right to race. If you gently caress up it will still spin out put you in a wall and make you meet the ghost of Senna. It pushes you just enough. Then we get to the rest of the cars in the game. You don't need assists to drive them with a controller. Turn them off it will be fine. Maybe some of the classic F1 cars you might need them but I haven't tested. I was setting great times in a Formula C with a controller and no assists at all and it felt just like driving it with my wheel with no assists. The game controls just fine with a controller. Also I decided to give the Formula A a try with a controller with no assists. The killer is low speed turns. You need to be real careful when you are going slow through high degree turns or you will spin out very easily. Some tracks don't have many of these and are easy to drive. Other tracks have nasty turns and you will be miserable when you first start. After about 20 minutes of trying I was really getting the hang of racing the FA without any assists but I don't think it will be for everyone. Also does anyone want to race a Formula A race at Barcelona today online due to the Spanish GP being this weekend? PC version. If you do be warned I am going to turn on assists because I want to have a chance to win.

So the second event in the FA series is Hockenheim GP course. I set a Respectable 1 minute 29 second qualifying time which puts me on the pole. I skip to end of session and am now on second place. Because a simulated AI put in a 53 second lap time. The world record for that track in real life is 1 minute 13 seconds set in 2004. This simulated driver shaved 20 seconds off the world record. I'm kinda not happy.

holocaust bloopers posted:For you guys who've played it on the PC already, what can I expect with a GTX 970 and i5-4690k? 60 FPS unless its raining then it will tank. Also figured out my fuel problem. If you set the session length to lower than 100% it will put fuel for that session as default and then when you raise it again it won't put more fuel in the car. So if you set it to 0% race length that's how I ended up with 99 liters of fuel. When I set the race to 100% (67 laps around the hock gp circuit) it didn't give me the fuel for that full race. I noticed this around lap 3 instead of lap 20 this time so progress.

holocaust bloopers posted:Cool. Rain hits the fps by how much? My 16 gb fast ddr 3, 4.3 ghz overclocked 3570k and 780 loses more than half the fps. That is at all ultra settings pretty much. The ultra reflections is the real fps killer. Lowering those to high apparently makes it no where near as bad.
