SMS' boss was posting about opening a funding round for PCARS2. I hope that'll indeed involve the full FEM model for the tires, and offroad racing. Both were pushed to PCARS2.

Best thing is seeing the armchair racers claiming/whining that a simulator drives "like on rails", while the same time real race drivers are saying the cars don't grip enough.

Yeah, IIRC, there was some stuff about targeting it holding the project back. Same reason why the Xbox360 and PS3 versions were ditched. They held onto the Wii U version for a while longer, until the community mucked up about it and it was ditched, too.

Ah well, my mistake then. Either way. the Wii U is just barely above the level of last generation's consoles.

Norns posted:Anything special in the logitech profiler? Or just the typical turn off centering stuff? You can pretty much take all default settings. The deadzones are just to have the pedals react a little sooner, it's subjective. My real car's electronic throttle pedal has less deadzone than the game's default setting, so I wanted that. The brake linearity needs to be changed in my opinion, because the default setting seems to be something for the more expensive loadcell based pedals. The sprung G27 brake pedal with default settings feels like jumping on it with both feet just by looking at it wrong.

The sudden loss of control while cornering when playing with a gamepad probably stems from the tire model, which simulates the warping and buckling of the carcass under load, which results in grip loss. When driving on the edge, there isn't much leeway on a tire in that regard, the same time a gamepad isn't a precision control compared to a wheel (twiddly thumbstick vs nearly three full turns from lock to lock), which also gives force feedback early enough to let you react accordingly. Overshoot with the turn in, the stressed tire thanks you by skidding off track. Finally on top of that, the nature of it being a game makes people push the cars more than they'd in real life, minimizing the headroom. --edit: Additionally, the caster in the front wheels will straighten or countersteer for you, if your rear breaks out or you understeer, because it feeds into the FFB of your wheel, which will turn the itself for you if you let it go. As in real life, however another disadvantage for the gamepad, which will pull the tires just straight if you let go of the stick, causing more grief on the car control.

The first two are hilarious. Simulation is true to life, somehow disappointed. And tracks not accurate. Jesus gently caress, the community nearly drove the track artists to group suicide with their nitpicking, but apparently it wasn't enough. --edit: My wheel doesn't work anymore in Windows 10.

That's weird. Since ever I cloned the default setup of the RUF GT3 while not changing poo poo on it, it suddenly behaves more squirrely. In a good way, tho.

The Sonoma track was pretty terrible. So was the Lykan Whatsitsname. Then again, if the tires got warm, it was pretty driftu. I almost made it in Bathurst.

Hope none of you relies on ABS thinking it'll shorten your brake path, tho, because it doesn't lock up your tires.

You guys have a funny way of pronouncing "brush", tho. Also, that night race on Nordschleife... I was doing so well, then the drat tires all go blue, I veer into the grass and suddenly the wheel's light and the car drives like on soap. I wish the game would tell what blew up, because that was ridiculous. Also, I think the game put me on rain tires for that one, anyway.

Bumping into each other is practically unavoidable. Rear mirrors are only so useful, the camera perspective gives a false sense of space and everyone cuts you off, anyway. Plus the game doesn't have nearly enough blue flags (--edit: assuming they wouldn't get ignored to begin with).
