Even though I don't have a Fry's close by, I signed up as well. The email says you have to bring your personal code to the store. Or, you have to call in the customer service number. I really don't need this, but I really really want this!!
Same! Can't pass up a deal like this!
haha what wheel are you using? This T500's a bit of animal even at 75%

Does the AI in career mode actually get harder as you progress through the tiers? Or is an 80 AI difficulty in LMP3/GT4 roughly equivalent to an 80 AI difficulty in FA?
Let me know how they feel.
After a few hours of driving I was slayed. Turned down the ffb in control panel to 60-65%. Not as much fun, but probably better for long days of racing. I think I also noticed important subtleties which I didn't notice at stronger settings.

It shows remarkable fps increase for AMD cards with just a change to Windows 10, not even with a DX12 patch for the game.
This is good news for AMD owners if this is not just a quirk.
Would be nice to see whether Nvidia's numbers are boosted too! I'm taking this with a grain of salt before we see increases with different setups.

It's fuck-all like Shift.
Don't buy into the drama and hyperbole. Humans love drama.
I seen the video. I read that any driver in the 14.XX would have issues because of crossfire or something like that. If you use the beta update, it should help out a bit. I did some tweaking to the graphics to match the PS4 specs and it actually gave me better results. It's not perfect but it'll do until a proper AMD update happens.

I've been watching the AI in youtube videos and people are having fun AI battles that you just don't get in forza or codemasters games.
Went ahead and dove in with a xb1 digital preorder since I also don't want to miss out on 8 extra cars for free.

Nice! Lots of cars in this list I'm excited to drive in this game.

The reason for this is W10 is multithreading the AMD drivers, making CPU bottlenecks less prominent. Currently AMDs drivers are single threaded, and NVIDIAs are multi threaded. So NVIDIA probably will not enjoy such a boost in performance.

I keep coming back to this thread for impressions on how people are enjoying the game, but it's mostly a tech thread so far. Would love to hear whether or not you guys/gals are just enjoying yourselves, despite framerate inconsistencies under load.
Awesome! Enjoy the wheel, I have the older brother (the TX) and I love it.
Did as you suggested and you're onto something with this car. It's an understeery pig with crap brakes, an extremely dull drive. Very little adjustability mid-corner and LOO is almost impossible, but at least power oversteer is there. Just make sure you set the driving assists to Off rather than Real as it comes with TC and ESP as well as ABS I believe..
I would agree with you though, the car's benign behaviour on the limit is not what I'd expect for a 911 variant, particularly this one with what you would imagine is a heavier V8 behind the rear axle. Would like to know the thinking behind this car, does it even exist beyond prototype form? Can't see a road test anywhere.
Did you just show a printout of your "personal promo code"? How did the checkout process go?
That's just because the real thing comes with those assists.
Besides, you should check the setups as well. Default setups for all cars are made for noobs. They all are aimed to provide a safe ride, not a fast one.
It surprises me seeing people that comment like they are pro sim racers failing to check such basic things.
I gave it to her verbally. She asked when I signed up. Told her about an hour ago. :lol
I think she had to do a manual override because I wasn't in the system yet.

I'm not seeing Project Cars on the PSN Store (Canada), is the game not releasing tomorrow on PS4?
It is. NA didn't get preload. :/

Is this a sim or arcade racer?

Feels great. I already turned the master setting in control panel down to 50%. That fan noise 😞

I am pretty sure the car exists, but I have only found German tests.
After trying out a variety of cars I am starting to like the game more now. This car gave me a bad initial impression, but there is certainly more depth to the physics than I initially thought.

I gave my thoughts on it earlier today, I don't give a shit about graphical pissing contests, I am here to race.
Dug my DFP out of storage today and wow, makes a HUGE difference. I usually just go the lazy route with racing games and use a controller, but this game seems to demand a wheel and pedals. It's taking some time to get used to this game, but I'm really enjoying it. I was telling my friends that there's a feeling of real fear/consequence at high speeds. In most console games, I kinda just go around the 'Ring in a mechanical way, but this is nerve-wracking, white-knuckle stuff. I actually feel like I might die if I mess up! Great sensation of speed in this.

fucking love the career mode. still doing formula c. incredibly fun.
people who aren't enjoying the career mode, maybe turn off having the option of retrying each race. and maybe make a rule of not adjusting the difficulty more than once before/after each season. something like this. invest a little of yourself in it. if you fail at a qualifying, live with that and try to make it better during the race. then if you don't place first in the race, live with that again and make it an actual fight for every point in the season. it's really rewarding.

Haha no not at all, much thanks for the impressions - they were just getting lost in the mix of wheel and tech talk.
(Which I'm not bitching about - I'm just trying to find out whether people enjoy the game or not!)
Once again, just lost in the mix for me - thanks for the heads up
EDIT: Though the Ferrari F355 shout out has me worried - I loved that game too but good god it was hard!
So it wasn't enough for you to shame us all in Driveclub?
Nice driving.
I think I will do this. Easy restarts takes some of the nerves and excitement away. I will probably drive like a pussy, and not win a single race though.
It's gonna be grrrreat.

Niiiice, it's almost thesame time Arnoud Lacoumbe has (legendary Gran Turismo player, he's at the top of some AC leaderboards and now on Project Cars PC version, his handle is Ti-tech85).
Are you using stock settings? You can create a tune for this car, save, and once you come back to the event it will give you your settings. It's a nice way to get rid of TCS if you are playing with real defaults.
I hate you. Perfect fucking corner after another.
Sweet driving!
I've altered a few settings but nothing much, just downforce and springs and basic stuff, I could get a 23.1 but I just want to play other tracks ha
eb4ticky who is driveclubs fastest has done a 23.2 on pad, he has skills with the pad to get that.I've altered a few settings but nothing much, just downforce and springs and basic stuff, I could get a 23.1 but I just want to play other tracks ha
Very nice.
One of my teammates who is #1 on Xbox has a 22.5 with the wheel. The fastest time with the pad is a 23.2 as well.
Curious to see how big the gap becomes between wheel and pad users going forward.
Nice 22.5 is a great lap, I just wish I knew more about set ups so I could go faster. He wanna share his setupVery nice.

Exactly. I can have fun like this for a long time.
A career in forza is built to get you in many cars with short races where you have to sprint to the front.
I'm perfectly happy learning tracks and cars in proper races in a career mode like the f1 games have.
It surprises me to see experienced posters fail to read posts properly. I advised to turn the assists OFF precisely because the Real setting has all the assists. You're basically re-iterating my post.
Doesn't change the fact that without any assists the car is extremely noob friendly and not much like the car it is based on. And no I don't pretend to be a pro sim racer, I like far too many different games to sink the time into that. My experience comes from driving cars on track for real, which up until quite recently was a big hobby of mine.

Open wheel control is good!!!!!!!!!!
enclosed hard top= WTF.

Karts are so much fun. Wish we had a 190cc as an inbetween too.

T300RS. It's basically the same wheel, pedals aside, as the T500. Yeah I made it through one turn before I realized I fucked up haha

Must have missed this post before, but as far as I know 911s are understeery in nature, because there is so much weight in the back. The rear has grip, grip, grip even in slow corners (because of the weight of the motor), whereas the front needs weight shifted to it to get grip and not understeer(which it only gets during deceleration). Once you lose traction in a corner (trying to power oversteer too much maybe) the rear is gone and is super hard to catch, which is the main thing that makes 911s so benign, you feel in control until it's too late. In general - but especially in slower corners - it is better to go for "late apex" turning in a 911 to get most of the steering done before accelerating again (where the heavier rear helps you again).
I agree with both of you that, with all assists turned off, the RGT-8 in PCARS feels off. It's too grippy under full throttle considering its high torque values.

I do really like the game, but have been frustrated tonight. Playing with a pad on xbox one, and i just can't get decent settings. Tried some suggestions from a few pages back, but the steering seems far too twitchy. Need to properly play around with the different settings and work out what everything means.
Annoying as I'm liking the racing. Just want to be more consistent with the pad!
