First impressions were good, but the more I play it, the more it frustrates me.
The much vaunted pad handling improvements are minimal, there are still huge issues, the menu lag is horrible, the stutters you get online when people join or leave is worse than the first game.
I'm done with it till they patch it, literally no fun with a pad, and this is coming from someone who put 300hrs into pc1 with a pad.

I'm liking it more and more as a get a better feel for the new physics. Controller dampening and steering deadzone adjustments are a must.
I'm playing the GT4 league in career mode with the Cayman. I try to play the full practice and full qualifying and find the results to be greatly improved when I do. The first several laps are a slippery mess, especially on cold tires, but then something clicks. Turns I took in third move on to fourth. Exits I had to drop to second gear to get out of can now be pushed through in third.
I'm enjoying it more and more. I do however still get ghostly oversteer in the formula rookie cars exiting turns.

It's great. I've not even had to touch the settings and it feels fine. I do notice I have to turn the wheel a lot more than I'm used to (more round the way, not more often). I read in a review that that's done on purpose as it's more realistic.
Glad it's not just me! I was thinking maybe I was just too bad to be playing the game :E Though I have to say I watched a vid on youtube of some guy doing the track in the rookie and it definitely made me feel I was too bad to play the game!

Feels great to me so far, all defaults, Fanatec CSR-E.
Audio sounds excellent (a huge improvement over pCARS 1) but has odd mixing. I need to drop everything to '25' and keep opponents on '100' to be able to meaningfully hear the other cars, and even then they are a bit quiet. I find this critical in VR for helping to tell me where cars are around me. Assetto Corsa does this so much better.

Xbox version is practically unplayable with G920.

When parked at the boxes, the wheel turns automatically all the way to the left or right and stays there, full FFB power holding it there.
Any car has a jerking left or right on straight, even at low speeds, even setting the FFB to zero.
Not enough Xbox One visuals look like a X360 port, G920 implementation is beyond a disaster. Really bummed, was super excited for this game, now feeling I wasted my $60.
Folks are discussing it on official forums:

A moderator said on the forums that "It will be fixed, WMD had no chance to test the game on console" testing on consoles was outsourced to a 3rd party. Apparently the game was not ready to be released on consoles.
I have no words...

By the way guys, don't even bother with the karts. They're shit.
Again.
Great guide. I used his controller setting but just changed Steering Sensitivity from 45 to 40. That's where I am happiest for now.
Although it must be said his setting are for analogue stick users, not D-Pad dinosaurs like me. It'll be interesting to know how much difference each setting is for digital inputs.
You have to be on-track to edit the HUD, at least on PS4 anyway.
It's easily felt this is just an evolution of Project CARS' physics systems. Generally it feels like before but just a little nuanced, enough to say there is a difference without it feeling alien. It's from the same stock, that's for sure.
I must admit, the recent Assetto Corsa patch has really put the cat amongst the pigeons. I adore the way Assetto Corsa feels now but there's nothing to do there. Project CARS 2 has all the bloody content I'd love Assetto Corsa to have.

Yeah, and moderators are having a tough time at the official forums.
yeah... it is 2017. They released a racing simulation game without testing racing wheels properly. It's shitting in the face of their core audience, complete disrespect. The console version of this game should never gone gold. It is fundamentally broken at user interface. Shameful.

anybody else have an annoying bug whereby in custom races in pit or paused, the right stick menu scrolls furiously to bottom of page of drivers?
also wish there was a way in custom to just say random and cycle through random preset race settings
the flexibility of this game begs for sets of random settings to try many different scenarios without having to micromanage every detail all the time
xbox needs the patch, this shit is buggy as hell

This seems to confirm what I thought I felt regarding the mirrored resolution having a noticeable impact on performance. I didn't lower it quite as much as they did but maybe I will try it at1360x768.
I'm really liking the game after putting around 7 hours into it so far. Sure it's maybe not quite on the same level as Assetto Corsa or rFactor 2 in terms of physics but as a whole package.. wow. Really impressive game.

I only did a few laps but that car, weather, and track combo was not clicking with me at all. I don't know how far back I was from #1 but I do know I was 15+ seconds back from TylerDurden4321, so I'd guess I was more than 20 seconds back of first. This is with a wheel. Lol. In my defense I've never driven on that track before and I didn't put enough laps in to learn it.
The guys at Team VVV have a discussion video on their youtube channel and they said certain cars are good with a controller and some are kind of bad. You'll probably just have to play around a bit and find the cars that play really well. I know that's not ideal but you should still be able to have fun even if you have to avoid some cars.
That's still not a good excuse for that big of a gap.. shh.
