I know he's finally given me what I was after anyway, the ability to disable the racing line in custom online lobbies. I asked him personally on their forums and after much bruhah he agreed.
Check out the pic.

One thing's for certain though, us console racers are going to be spoiled rotten by years end, I can't wait.

Isnt the ability to do that for PC only though?
Saw people on facebook talking about it, that its yet to be confirmed for consoles.

I've been run over by the hype train too many times in the past myself, I'm looking forward to PCars 2, but I'm still a little bit weary.

That said though, I'm confident that SMS will have learned from the many mistakes they made with the original PCars.

If any of you haven't read the AMA thread that Ian Bell did over on GTP, it's worth a look.
He's promised to address any and all issues that were raised since year dot.

You mean an Ian Bell ask me anything but if I don't like what your asking ill block you from the forum.

The man dont know how to deal with people he threats everyone negative the same way as if they were all trolls and didn't pay for a product.

I enjoyed Pcars but the one thing that spoiled it for me was that man's attitude. I couldn't possibly say what I'd love to call him without getting a card so at that I'll just leave it ha.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy how quickly the idea that sims are for PCs and console users wouldn't understand, flipped on it's head. It went from 0 to 3 or 4 sims fighting it out.

He promised me it's coming for consoles too. I'll hound him forever if it doesn't.

This was an AMA on GTP, he didn't have the power to block anyone from there.

I know he's a bit of a headcase but I like the fact that he doesn't pull any punches, rightly or wrongly of course. I know he's gone over the top loads of times.

There was always a core of console racers like myself and others here who were crying out for a decent sim on console. Like you said, it's completely flipped now, about time too.

I'll get a pc myself someday, it's just on the long finger for now.

Tbh I was delighted when I heard Forza was coming to PC. I didn't want a subscription based sim on the PC so the options were more limited, before Assetto Corsa as well. The direction Dirt has taken has also been a very welcome turnaround.

Is forza a sim? I never played it but I always thought it was a gran turismo kind of game

There were a lot of sims on the PC, the biggest problem was they were as old as the hills.

Dirt is becoming a big disappointment for me. I have to go back and try again but it didn't work to well in VR, I need to do some more setup but I didn't last more than a few minutes at it.

Yeah I remember GTR (iirc) being about 5 years old and still being one of the main players, or iRacing monthly sub.
Forza is like GT but I dunno afaik.. I thought the handling was supposed to be realistic (on pad btw) and there is some sort of career in it which is entertaining. I was recommended not to get assetto corsa unless I have a wheel, which I dont currently.

I find it very comfortable with the PSVR.
That may be because the PS4 is rendering it at 60fps though and the headset is interpolating it at 120hz.

You could always try it with the Asynchronous Time Warp mode on the Rift to see if it improves the motion sickness.

Edit: just spotted there's Asynchronous Space Warp now which may even be better.

It was one of the first things I tried and I've improved the experience a lot lately. So I should give it another go, and maybe stay away from the snow stages at the beginning.

ScumLord · 11-04-2017 05:15PM

Some videos of gameplay are out.

The live track is a great feature, they even say the track will be different each time you load it based on many different variables.

Developer video explaining features.

Rallycross

Initial impressions seem good, people are saying it's much improved on Pcars 1 but still not in RRR, AC, iRacing league. But there's room to improve yet.

I still refuse to get excited about it.

Titzon Toast · 18-06-2017 11:15AM

It's starting to look really promising at this stage. My two biggest complaints about Project Cars 1 appear to have been sorted out for the second installment.
The guy from ISR disliked it for the same reasons, he seems convinced now though, I can't wait to get my hands on this game now.

Is PC the only sim with the Le Mans track in it?

According to their twitter the new GT Sport is hinting at it

Most sims on PC have Lemans thanks to mods, the assetto corsa one ive been playing over the weekend is as good as any official tracks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wt10mwSwv0

Inside simracing of late have been praising pretty much everything, lots of chatter within the sim community suggest they are being paid to do so.
While i wouldnt be surprised if what he says is true pcars 2 will be a welcome surprise.

Not so sure about that, they criticized the physics in Dirt 4 and seemed honest enough.

Dcully · 19-06-2017 11:27AM

True about dirt 4 but i wouldnt be surprised either.
Very few simracing youtubers/reviewers i trust, Jimmy Boradbent and empty box are the exception.

I have had feedback from two friends who backed pcars2 early doors and have access to the latest build, one is raving about the physics the other says they have improved upon pcars [which lets be honest wouldnt be hard] but still fall behind AMS,AC,RF2 and R3E
Time will tell

Back playing this after a long break and trying to continue the career mode, but the wet races are driving me crazy.

I'm doing the GT3 Euro championship and it seems every second race is wet. But what's even more annoying is that the AI cars don't seem to have to pit for wets, and continue on their merry way while I tippy toe around the track.

MayoSalmon · 12-07-2017 02:26PM

Anybody playing this online PS4 at the moment, only got it a couple of weeks ago but enjoying it and looking to start playing online. Be good to race with some boards lads and not the bumper car lads online. PM for PS4 ID.
