Welcome! General Reminder on Civility

24 Upvotes

Hello fellow Redditors & racing enthusiasts!

Over the past few years, our PCARS subReddit has thankfully remained an overall very civil community, with extremely rare instances of hostile trolling, personal attacks, name-calling, prolonged petty bickering, flame wars, etc. - and I'm asking for your help to keep it that way.

Project CARS 3 has understandably stirred up some mixed reactions, and this is a reminder our community:

** It's okay to disagree with people here, but it's not okay to disrespect people here. **

Do NOT derail, disrespect, gatekeep, harass, insult, pester, shame, or troll people.

Let people LIKE the game.

Let people DISLIKE the game.

BOTH positive praise for the game AND negative criticism of the game are welcome here because a one-sided echo-chamber would be boring and would only paint half the picture.

We all have different preferences & perspectives, and let's not allow ourselves to descend into bitter divisiveness over things like:
• "fanboys" vs. "haters"
• "shills" vs. "cry-babies"
• "positivity" vs. "negativity"
• "hardcore elites" vs. "casual scrubs"
• "true sim" vs. "arcade trash"
• wheel-&-pedals vs. controller/gamepad
• assists on vs. assists off
• PC vs. consoles
• console-A vs. console-B
• complaining about complainers
• "my favorite game is better than your favorite game"
• "my favorite content creator is better than your favorite content creator"
...etc.
^ Those & other tired old horses have already been beaten to death & resurrected & beaten to death again repeatedly across many forums for years.

This subReddit has no official ties to the game's creators or publishers, but we do have a few simple rules for how commenters conduct themselves here. Please familiarize yourself with those rules and abide by them.

Consider this is your ONLY notice/warning. If you do not abide by this, you will be permanently banned from participating in discussions here.

* Note to content creators posting their links here: please review Reddit's guidelines on self-promotion.

Thank you.

Question How do I get dlc cars on ps5 for PC2?

1 Upvotes

I have the game on my ps4 with all the DLCs purchased but for some reason when I download the disc on ps5 I don't have access to any add-ons or downloads, would there be a way to get around this? Maybe hooking them up and exporting data or what?

Question Having trouble with lag

1 Upvotes

I play PC2 on xbox with controller and the game completely freezes for a few seconds every so often, leading to a complete loss of control because I can't see where I'm going.

Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it? It's my biggest issue with the game and basically makes it unplayable, which is a shame because I actually really like the game with its variety of cars and tracks.

Question PC3 vs Grid Legends- should I get PC3 if I own Grid?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, how's life? So, I'm a simcade fan, being a Xbox player and into Forza - both Motorsport and Horizon. I'm a bit tired of Motorsport (played it for a year since release, I'm a bit burned out), and Grid Legends feels too cheap with fake sponsors and liveries, plus the handling is too light.

Do you guys think it's a good option for me, considering what I said of liking simcades and all that, and also considering I'd be getting it on the black friday sales?

Question How realistic do you find rain in PCars2?

14 Upvotes

Just been reading an article on Overtake about rain in iRacing, and one like said "Alternative lines are not even a factor one must consider on other sims, with iRacing replicating very true to life the typical dry racing line not being optimal in the rain." And it made me think, Project Cars 2 claims to have realistic rain, and while I agree the kerbs get slippery I've never really picked up on the rubbered in line being slippy, despite the marketing materials for the engine. I have found that changing lines in corners is needed, early braking, gentle acceleration, earlier apex sometimes etc but this is more about speed and grip in the rain than the rubber being slippy. What's other people's experience of this, have you found going offline in the rain provides more grip than the traditional line, how does it compare to rain in iRacing?

Question PC3 looks … Bad Really Bad

19 Upvotes

I never played Project Cars a day in my life only Forza but I got tired of the shitty AI.

I started off with PC3 but man the UI and Graphics just horrible, like I thought I was playing Asphalt 8 on PC for a second but once I said screw that and tried PC2 it’s like a upgrade but that makes no sense.

wtf happened here

Question Weird time loss glitch in Pcars2?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been playing Pcars2 on my laptop for a while now, and I keep on running into this issue. Whenever I’m running a quali race, I’ll notice that at some point I just start losing time. Sometimes up to 9 seconds depending on the track length, literally out of nowhere. Anytime know what could be the cause? Cause it’s really messing up my player career😭

Weird issue (one wheel on some cars)

3 Upvotes

Okey ladies and lads, I'm here today to ask about one specific issue I'm facing, with mostly the historic tc2 cars, especially the Ford escort. The issue seems to be that with a 50/50 chance one of the front wheels, most of the time it's the right , but on some occasions the left one, seemingly "Spasm" out if I go into detail view, the specific wheel seems to always try to turn left right at random, all the time making the car highly unstable and always veering off ,in the direction that specific wheel seems to have the issue of not staying centred. I've checked my controller through dead zone should cover the minimal drift, that the Xbox controller has (which is 0.00015 according to hardware tester) by the hundreds. Also it just affects the class of tc2 historic.... Anything I can do about it ?

Some cars no longer available in PC1?

2 Upvotes

I installed PC1 on my PS5 today after not having played it in years and found some of the cars just gone. No Ford Fusion stock car, no IndyCar, no Ford Falcon Supercar and no Audi Quattro trans am car, from what I noticed. Might be more. I know the game (along with PC2) was delisted for expiring licenses, but they really took cars away? I think I even paid for the Quattro, too.

Question Understanding car setup for beginners

6 Upvotes

So I picked up Project cars 2 a while ago and I have to say I’ve fallen absolutely in love. I’ve recently tried to take sim racing a bit more seriously, since I’m coming from an arcade/simcade racing background.

I always see the setup but even after reading the prompts off on the side for the settings, it’s hard to tell/feel what effect they have(maybe because I use a controller)

So is there any way I could properly understand the setup settings? Any media/resources you can recommend would be very helpful, thanks.

I'm new to the genre and Project CARS 2 career mode has been my main way to experience sim racing. I just recently had my "I think I get it!" moment and understand the appeal.

I even felt compelled to upload a video about it.
