      1-Under the different cars is Control Difficulty which has bars under it. Does more bars equal more difficult to control the handling or less difficult to control the handling?
      2-And then there's one that say's Cornering Speed. So, more bars equals higher cornering speed?

    It may have turned 2, but it sadly hasn't received an update since the last one... a FULL year ago. The last 12 months _really_ should've been spent fixing the major bugs, but it got zero love.
    Still great fun though, I play it regularly. It still has best-in-class graphics, IMO.

      @Alan formula1 funny that... I played it on release day just fine? Agree there are some bugs but I don't see them often and certainly not game breaking. I would rather have the content pc2 has and accept it will mean some bugs vs acc has 1 class and very few tracks but still has bugs and worse is really troublesome in vr (2080ti) to the point I try it for 10 mins after each patch and stop. I know which I prefer.... but each to their own.

      @SlowBloke123 4 роки тому

      @Alan formula1 ahh yes - theres lots i wish it did better (mainly consistency - some cars / tracks are just amazing whilst others are meh) and some things that annoy me (ie gear ratio not consistent once you make it and save it / Indycar oval and road on same track / the way the AI do that unnatural jerky movement at the start etc...). Agree ideal world continued support would be brilliant and it would have more people playing but that the commercial model they chose - and in the end I guess they know their own business needs better than we do. hey at least its not Fifa franchise :). I just know its the game I go back to the most out of iracing / RF2 / AC / ACC / RR / F1 2018 etc..

I'm glad you make videos like this and videos of the past custom FFB file updates, it keeps me up-to-date as I don't frequent the forums. IMO a recent video you made highlighting Christiaans pure FFB file has been a total game-changer for me and I really do feel that it brings this sim up to the same level as any of the other top 3 titles. I wish they pushed an update to include it for everyone. It's really that important.

    @ingwarr86 4 роки тому +5

    I can't get my head aroud fact that they developed an engine so advanced and so optimized to then release the game with FFB configured (in a user editable file!) without essential forces included, leading to all sim-inclined people complaining about poor FFB. And only after 2 years a user includes those forces, which transforms the feel and car behaviour completely.
    Maybe I'm, in a bad sence, spoiled by rFactor 2 and have a perverted vision of proper FFB, but I was not clearly not the only one

    Setup sharing is amazing!!!! People in some competitive racing thinks it’s cheating for them when they spend all that time getting the perfect setup but setups can be more suited for that persons driving snd in competitive texting in real life they are milliseconds sometimes apart so it’s up to who drives the best so I’m completely behind setup sharing. It also allows me to enjoy the game when a tune takes an un-drivable car and makes it corner great! Forza motorsports had this feature and I’ve always loved it

    as a singleplayer game, I've enjoyed PC2. But the online part has been a total letdown for me. Still 2 years after release they haven't managed to make the "Practice/Qualy/Race in progress" info to uppdate correctly. Join a lobby that's listed as in practice and it turns out they're half way through a race. So you spectate and wait... once the race is over, the host leaves and you end up with some random becoming the host and car type resets to the exact same car as the host for some reason. ...and then they all leave so you end up wasting time and not getting a race.

    • @SimRacing604
      @SimRacing604  4 роки тому

    Great video. I would have picked the Sauber C9 as well. Started with SIM racing 2 years ago, aged 51. I compared all SIMS and went for PCARS2 because of the best graphics and great VR experience. Doing a lot of community races nowadays and still learning. One of my first races was at Donington under heavy weather, sky turning dark, storm and thunder, heavy rain, light flashing from the sky .... amazing experience. With the latest FFB custom settings it is even better ... can't wait for PCARS3. Hopefully they do all right from the start and don't ruin the great stuff PCARS2 has.
    Once used to my new Fanatec setup, I will check out AC once more so I can also race in AC ... and iRacing in the long term might be nice too.

    Agree with all of them, except I would also Like to add that classic Le Mans is also a heap of fun in a Group 5 Car Like the 935.
    Old Spa and old Monza are also a heap of fun to drive in those Cars, especially If you combine the oval and the GP circuit!
    Only Problem is that the TV cameras in Monza are pretty non-existent.
    Add to that old Silverstone and old Hockenheim......and you have an awesome backdrop for Classic Car racing.
    Also agree with Setup sharing, it's a godsent.
    And sometimes it's Not the fastest Setup that is the best one for you. Second, third, Fürth, fifth and sich can also be worth a look, as are those with the same Chassis but different engine Like in Lmp2.
    Setups for the Ligier Nissan often also Work for the Judd.

    I'll have to give this another go. Got it recently after mainly playing AC and R3E. I thought the handling felt a bit canned at first but looked past it because it's more modern and there's so much content. Then working through Ginetta Cup I came to Cadwell Park. I've ridden there a few times and know it well but I got fully lost it was so far off reality. Like it wouldn't matter if I didn't know the track but it was so terrible I just stopped playing there and then.
    I guess there are good and bad track and car combos and maybe I just haven't tried any good cars yet. It does look good though.

    If that's the case then what was this issue, and has it been rectified?
    Major, minor, warranty, or out of warranty?

      Lord Park III hey man. 1060 is a bit light for running VR. I usually suggest people get a 1070 or better for VR. You probably can run PC2 or AC with your 1060, but you’ll likely have to have graphics turned quite far down

    Nice vid. Only reason I play PC1 much more than PC2 is 2 has fun killing bugs. On Xbox One S it freezes for ~2 sec several times a lap. On PS4 Pro cars brake randomly @ 100% for ~2 sec MANY times a lap.
    Cars: I preffer more lower powered cars Bk w/ my limited skill I can better push the limits. W/ really fast cars I have to focus mostly just keeping it on track.

    It's a fantastic looking game and long beach is arguably, one of the best tracks in Sim racing imo but SMS seems to like to abandon their titles rather quickly.
    Definitely will not be buying into the PC3 hype train. I may pick it up at some point but it will not be at launch and it will not be at full price.

    This game is so good, it makes Gran Turismo feel like Gran Turismo.
    I must say I feel that the UK circuits are the best, and most detailed in the game (go to a moist Knockhill in the Clio's and you will get my pointe)
    Biggest flaw for me must be the crash physics, and it kinda ruins the supercar edition of rallycross, since contact is a part of the game.
    Will be interesting to see what Automobilista can make out of that madness engine.

Key thing is... do we continue to buy the game knowing the 1 year deal.

    Never had such a toxic relationship with a game.
    Good graphics, acceptable physics, big selection of cars and tracks.
    It will crash because it is bugged as fuck, and if you're in an online race and it crashes, you'll pay with your license score even though is not your fault.
    Someone crashed you? (super common online) you'll pay with your license. Not your fault? Doesn't matter, you pay.
    Touched a curb? Traction lost.
    Touched white lines with a tire? Off track, slow down or get penalized.
    Others make a huge crash and you avoid it? Nope, give back your place.
    Tyre model is mediocre, even Assetto feels 10 times more realistic. Also FBB is crap.
    They tried to include so much content that most of it feels incomplete, and to put the nail on the coffin, they closed the doors to a super talented modder community.
    It's so, so fucking bugged, I hate it, I love it. Fuck this game, seriously.

      Some people are still bitter about SMS "selling out" to Electronic Arts to make the Shift 1 and Shift 2 titles. There are also a bunch of very vocal, very angry people who got kicked out of the funding of Project CARS 1 title due to being extremely abusive and downright silly on the alpha testing forums. You can still find those very same people in various simracing forums constantly belittling anything SMS creates. Human nature, isn't it wonderful?
      Having said that, part of the blame falls squarely on SMS themselves. They are notorious for not polishing things properly and not really connecting/understanding their audience.. and the boss himself (Ian Bell) is quick to use hyperbole to describe all the wonderful underlying technologies in the game.. yet it doesn't always show or work properly. Yes we got water, yes we got actual dynamic puddles.. but they are bugged and never fixed. So yeah, part of the anger can be understood considering some of the vocal audience being whiny man children. Overall though, there's no denying the completeness of the package and the fun that can be had when it isn't derailed by the bugs.
