Ok guys we're doomed... or maybe that's the trick @FuBii has been using this whole time?View attachment 8835
That's actually quite brilliant really!!!!! Would love that for FH4!!!!!

For me it was the other way around. For some reason the car was not communicating with me, maybe it was a FFB setting, raised FFB volume but to no avail. Or maybe this car was just too fast for me :rolleyes: , or I need more practice (never drove this car before) plus usually I reduce steering ratio a lot in my setups. Was great fun though in the back field with some great battles :D
Same here Breeze! I can't remember feeling so unconnected with a car. I definitely can say that I'm not impressed with PCARS2 driving model tbh. ACC and rF2 is soo much better. But PCARS2 looks sooooo bloooody gooood!!!!!! I enjoyed racing the Renault Truck hahahhaaha

It's funny because that describes quite accurately my first experience with RF2 : it was a FWD TCR Civic and it was the first time I actually felt torque steer through FFB :oops: but the Megane was honestly good, if you applied basic traction circle skills you could drive it quick :)

I think I lost the ability to run FWD cars then since switching from my VW Passat to my Alfa Romeo Giulia :D;)

Was a fun night still!

It's also a shame that PC2 doesn't quite replicate the real sound...


The game sounds more like a hairdryer!

Well to me it sounded pretty accurate...


edit : when I first started the car I couldn't help but saying "wow this sounds like a demonic 350z" and after some research apparently both cars share the V6 VQ35 engine! So yeah I'd say they pretty much nailed it ^^

Don't forget, there's a huge difference between what you hear trackside, what you hear from a camera that is usually strapped to the chassis of the car and what your own ears hear inside a car when you're wearing a crash helmet. Are the sounds in pCARS2 thoroughly accurate? No, but there are some that are probably a lot more accurate than people give it credit for. I remember playing with one of the Ferrari racecars in pre-release and the noise it made coming off throttle was painful to the ears, just like its real-life counterpart - it had the exact note I remember from hearing it in real life.

I will say, though, what a lot of cars in the game do seem to be lacking is "weight", for want of a better word.

My opinion is that ACC does it better I mean the sounds that doesn't come directly from the engine like chassis flex, abs, gravel hitting the floor, and oh god the transmission and brakes sounds! I understand what you mean with the sound the driver acrually hears but sims in general lack the vibrations you feel through the seat so it s very welcome to hear all these little things that give you feedback on what the car is doing :) one of the reasons I decided to start sim racing with pcas at all was because I was mind blown by the sounds!

^^ Indeed, there are a lot of those finer details that are definitely missing in pCARS
