PC2 Project Cars 2 Leagues (merged)

[Rob]

I know we are all excited for this release. What I don't know is how many people intend to a) play it on the xbox one and b) would like to join some sort of a formal league here at Race Department.

There are so many possibilities, I've had to calm myself down from getting lost in them. However, my main passion, IndyCar, will probably not be able to be run until the DLC with the ovals comes to the Xbox One.

That said, what sort of series would you like to see? Personally, ones that come to mind are Tudor United Sports Car Series, WEC, British Touring Car, and DTM. One of these could fill the gap for me until IndyCar is possible, but others may have better ideas.

Please indicate below if you are interested and what sort of times you are available and which series' you prefer. We could follow the actual schedule of many a series, due to the timing of the release. Personally, if they get the ovals out before IndyCar starts, I'll probably turn my focus there, but nothing would prevent running another alongside.

The anticipation is killing me!

Will send you an invite, believe we will be at Brands Hatch.

Give me an idea of time and I'll try to get back for it.

Probably around 8 my friend

So just trying out the capture card and software.
So went into practice, chose a Z4 GT3 and these were the first 2 laps. Nothing special but just wanting to test some features.

Conclusion:
Great recording, it even records a select amount of time even when you are not recording, so if you suddenly do something, you can go back and record it. Brilliant feature! However the software for editing is very basic! The only things i can do are crop the video and then save it.
So I have been looking at sony vegas.

 

[Peter Hooper]

I'm assuming this has been cancelled? Just got on for twenty minutes but no one around.

 

[Mark Torres]

It does record them Michael but I'm not sure you can see them on the Xbox app for some reason.

I don't know how long past broadcasts take to upload, but they do work on the Xbox One app as well. I have watched them before.

Maybe I was thinking of something else, but I just checked again, and past broadcasts don't appear for anyone. I swear I was just randomly going through past broadcasts one day on the Xbox though.

 

[Rob]

I'm excited to release some footage in within the next 2 hours, not much, just exciting for me that I am recording again.

Can't promise to make this, as I'm trying to get Railer up to speed. If anyone (Michael, Peter, Boothy, etc.) wants to jump in our party, we can run a practice race. Should be back on around 8:30pm Eastern. Had to go eat. Still coming to grips with tire wear, fuel load vis-a-vis tire wear and compound, and some tuning settings. Making slow progress. Probably not ready yet for a "formal" session, but feel free to jump in the party. Also testing cars. Kind of torn between the Audi and the Aston Martin. But leaning Audo #50.

We were just at Brands from 4:30-6:30p but nobody joined the party. I'll try to get on a little later, (say maybe 8-8:30pm) my time. Just messing around. Nothing formal, but do have a question: What's the consensus on mechanical failures. It's realism, but also would suck. lol. I had an engine blow last night in a 1 hr. practice race.

lol Think it was for hours ago... I was going to join just to see how things were online but I'll wait now until I'm back and wheeled u up instead.

Think the times got confused. I was on around 8pm here...

Mechanical failures.... sounds good but maybe a lot more testing first to see how often they happen.

 

[Rob]

Yea, it's really hard to know. Maybe just have to scour the forums. I had one in a race and it was frustrating, but at the same time, it taught me that my driving style may need altering, which is good. I notice in real life, the fastest guys are usually good at not using gas and managing corners with idle or brakes more than downshifts. Plus, How often have you redlined a car? Not much, but I do it in games all the time. Bad habit.

 

[Dylan Hember]

Yeah sorry Robert, I thought you meant UK time

 

[Matthew Booth]

My game has arrived, Not sure why everyone is having issues driving seems fairly easy so far with everything off AI's be crazy though

Well, the GT3 cars are pretty easy, but I think it defaults way too many cars (like F1) to traction control. So maybe that's why. Still, it's great to have that option but also have the other (that you play) for the REALLY good players. lol. I didn't think you would have too much of an issue. After all, the guys over at VVV could manage with a pad.

I don't know even with them all off it seems fine enough I do keep spinning though but that's mainly down to going down a gear too far then anything.

i quite like having to set up the traction control. as i dont know much about the set up with the rest of my car i find if i have understeer then i up the t,c slip to make the back end abit more fun, when im in a car thats abit of a live wire at the back (gt4 aston was awful for it) i tone it down. to be honest if you decide to get rid of it for the league i understand but i like have the t/c set upable ect

Id guess it's how realistic people want to be really Daniel. Id prefer to go as identical to the series as possible considering how awesome the game is

 

[Michael Watts]

I tried running laps at Sonoma as I'm most familiar with that track. FFB isn't right but it was pretty fun. I'm used to driving a 900hp stock car but I had a GT3 Audi and still ran a 1:14.01. Once I get some better wheel settings I'll try out Silverstone.

 

[Daniel Smissen]

in no means am i bashing the game with this vid, its just really funny

 

[Michael Watts]

The only glitch I've experienced so far is the Sound messing up on track. No frame rate drops yet. I can't hear the announcer in the menus explaining stuff. I just get subtitles. Could it be something with the Kinect?
