Cool, glad you enjoyed it. Getting a wheel is a total game changer. If you enjoy PC2 I’d definitely urge you to try ACC as it’s so much more immersive and realistic. PC2 is a great game with so much more car variety but the handling model isn’t quite right. In ACC i can be super consistent with lap times and placing the car because it’s so much more like driving a real car. All the best with it bud and thanks for the comment 👍🏼👍🏼

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 dumb question but what is ACC? Asseto Corsa?

ACC ( Assetto Corsa Conpetizione) is a dedicated race simulator just for GT3 & GT4 cars. A game that’s about as close as you’ll get to being a true simulator on both pc and console. Which was suppose to be based around the Blancpain GT3 series. It doesn’t run well on the standard Xbox and even the Xbox one X struggles to do all the calculations required by the games physics engine. But as far as I’m told it’s much better on the Series consoles especially the Series x. Hopefully later this year it will receive a full overhaul to make it better suited to the series consoles and ps5. AC (Assetto Corsa) was the first instalment from 505 games and has gone on to be something pc modder’s have truly expanded into many different areas of racing and even open world mods with traffic. Still a good game on console but nothing like it is on pc. I’d say it’s pretty limited on console but still fun to take a BMW or Porsche out for a track day at the Nordschleife 👍🏼 Definitely 2 games best played with a wheel and pedal set. I would recommend either game for using a control pad. Hope that helps 😉

Thanks dark night... Glad I can be of help 👍🏼

100% you got that right… sometimes the problem isn’t in the car… in the hands of a good driver it will perform beautifully, you’ve just got to understand what the car wants. I’ve seen so many amazing laps during my time sim racing and a lot of them have been in default setups with only changes to brake balance being utilised. Paul Ricard is a better track than most people think… definitely better to drive there than to watch a race there. 👍🏼 Thanks as always for your comments Cody

Dennis Hyde cheers buddy & welcome to the world of sim racing 👍🏼

John Lord typical online lobbies first corner excitement lol 👍🏼

Lol

Try forza 7 its gta racing in a different game

Cheers bro... much appreciated 👍🏼

Eugenio Acosta Thank you 🙏

Audy Bryan I couldn’t agree more... I can’t even imagine how good Project Cars 3 will be 😉

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 I know right I can't wait till it release.

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 Jay trust me save some money and get a 2080ti pc with a ryzen 7 2700 at least..and man you will be blown away ..but to have completely lock 60fps u need a ryzen 9 3900 cpu

Audy Bryan I know full well I’ll be blown away with a pc even if I was running a 1080ti lol... oh how I long for the day 👍🏼

Guys, I agree. Project cars 2 was the first Sim that used and I love it. Even with how funny and hard to pin down with somethings as it can be. I am going to step up my game to a PC to experience some other Sim's (ACC, iRacing), just to well rounded. But I am sure that I will be a Proj Cars 2 fan. And I too cant wait to see what Proj Cars 3 holds in store for us.

Not quite sure what this means ？

Cheers buddy

Cheers man... appreciate the comment, it’s been a while since I’ve played it to be fair. ACC is just much more up my street now with regards to realism 👍🏼

Cheers buddy… I don’t know much about the G923 but I here it’s a good wheel. Now you just need to learn about racing if you keep coming last. Project cars 2 is a good game and offers a huge array of cars but for driving physics and realism it’s very hard to be consistent. I’d suggest moving to ACC if you enjoy GT3 racing. If you’re wanting to stay with project cars 2 I’d probably start with racing the AI. Watch this video and start from here trying to find a level that’s going to challenge you but where you can also learn some race craft. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gsxzldphua3Gno0.html Then, try and progressively make the difficulty harder. The AI perform different in different cars at different circuits so don’t be surprised if you seem better or worse at different circuits in different cars using the same AI difficulty. Just reset the AI to something challenging. You want to be finishing in the top 5 but not winning . This will challenge you to get better. The AI in project Cars 2 will always out perform you in a faster car but just watch how they drive. Try and follow their racing line rather than using the track racing line option. Good luck with it buddy. All my content these days is on Assetto Corsa competizione. It’s by far the most realistic sim racing title on console.

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 Cheers Jay and thanks for the well thought out reply, I watched your video and i'm definitely going to take on what you mentioned, I was racing the AI anyway but didn't realise they were supercharged (makes a whole lot more sense) i'll be sticking with projects cars 2 and asseto for now! But i'll be jumping on ACC in the near future

Good luck with it buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

Me too kid

You’ll get there buddy… patience 👍🏼

Cheers Zaheer, The compliment goes a long way 👍🏼

Garrett Morrow cheers man... loving the love... I’m guessing you’re using a wheel yes?

Jay Sysum a.k.a Rat Master 3 yesss I am. Logitec G920

Garrett Morrow I can’t teach you how to drive but I can suggest an amazing place to listen to so much advice. One of my biggest resources and most entertaining of podcasts. I’d certainly recommend listening to all these shows. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/speed-secrets-podcast/id1192075386?i=1000394041749

logan 669 I certainly wouldn’t think about starting racing with the GT1’s GT3’s are still pretty quick and would generally recommend starting with GT4’s or 5’s 👍🏼

Cheers man... strange to see at times that I also get pc based subscribers... since the release of ACC to console I struggle when moving between the sims due to the huge difference in physics.

Francis Suter well in all fairness... Project Cars 3 is utter garbage compared to PCars 2 so it’s not surprising 😉

Absolutely m8 Slightly Mad have gone bonkers!

Might as well pick it for £11 👍🏼

Thanks for the comment man, much appreciated. Nico Schober is the Raptor on xbox or pc... I’m guessing he’s on Xbox as he’s not listed on the pc leaderboards.

Thanks! Do we have any patterns on the GT3's brake balance, more front or rear brakes? Ferrari GT3

Bruno Black nah... not really, I’d say it comes down to personal preference when it comes to brake balance.

SALGShaka glad to hear it... Being a console user, this game gets a lot of stick about it’s FFB. For me, this game is still top of the sims on console and will no doubt remain there even when ACC drops.

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 apart from how it handles the graphics are so real to this day seriously this should be the bench mark for every developer of racing games im glad AM2 used the same engine just wish the marketing of both games were on par with iRacing and run serious leagues in every mode we have and we also get to watch gamers compete online or TV week in and out i just love it

SALGShaka I’m hoping for big things from Project Cars 3, but I’ve got a sneaky feeling that Codemasters is going to ruin it. Fingers crossed ACC looks and feels good.😉

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 my question is, why are cars slow on default and AI reach top speed with eas i really dont get it, i love to race on default on any game but here im slower than AI even at 60 they are still better

SALGShaka have you watched my AI difficulty video... It’s kinda explained in there.

I do now...

Unfortunately I’m on series X so I doubt very much our paths will cross if you’ve made the jump to pc 😞

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 OK I opted for the PC build or upgrade over the PS5 and purchased a low end GPU Nvidia geforce gtx 1650 4GB DDR6 and have since tweaked it to have some great racing. At some point I'll be going all in for maybe a 3090 RTX. Initially bought an Intel i5 7series with upgraded internals like Asus motherboard for equivalent of 300£ and the GPU cost equivalent of 400£.

All sounds pretty good to me… as long as you’re still enjoying sim racing that’s all that counts… All the best buddy… maybe one day I’ll move to pc but I’ve got no idea when that would be.

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 will look forward for your streams.

Not sure I understand the question?

Yes I’m on Xbox 👍🏼

Stefano in some instances it can make a whole lot of difference to exploit the most from a car at a certain track. Little tweaks within the setup can have big effects at different circuits. But, if all you want to do is race, then I’d say get comfortable in a particular car and learn how it handles in its default setup. If you take a look at my GT3 special videos, even the default setups can set quality lap times but some cars suit different circuits. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZl3n8qY0rHLnYU.html

Thank you, i was wondering how good of an AI shoud i be able to win without setups. And how to know what to tweak in the setups to go faster. Also i wonder is it better to start to play with the racing line in corners that tells you when to brake or to disable it and just try to learn without it?

If you’re new to sim racing or racing in general then having the racing line on can’t be a bad thing while you’re learning some of the basics. A racing line in the game is a guide, just remember that. Learning why you might want to hit a late apex or a mid apex etc is something well worth learning and I’m sure there’s plenty of good racing tutorials on KZfaq. I haven’t spent much time in career but I know my AI are set to about 80% and are very aggressive. I very rarely race with AI drivers. Maybe this would be a good video to explore 👍🏼

Thanks Jay! My racing line tends to be on but i generally, after some time start to stop folowing it. By that I mean i tend to brake later or take the wider racing line because of the faster exit. I think that that means im kinda ready to get rid of it because i use it as a breaking zone. When it says i nead to brake i brake later. Now i just need to find another way to know whetn to start aka find a fixed spot.

Stefano certainly sounds like you’re ready to turn it off. If you’re driving GT3 cars I’d suggest braking at the 100 to 150 yard board then trying to workout if you can make the corner. Checkout another one of my videos on effective braking 👍🏼 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5uclryc2sisooU.html

Glad to see the 2 I use both allow adjustable AI

Yep... You can see my FFB settings but the game feels massively different to ACC. Takes me at least 2 weeks to get up to speed from one to the other.

Dre’s Box so is the car oversteering on corner exit??? If so, try increasing the rear power ramp closer to 90 to reduce power oversteer. You could also take a look at this setup I did at the Algarve... different circuit yes, but it could be better than you have. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pa5_atyippe4lIE.html

At Jay... Yes it’s over steering at corner exit. Sometimes at mid corner. Ah! Yes! I initially started with my Algarve setup before I looked at leaderboard tunes. I went back to mine and it felt better but with the oversteer issues. I’ll try the power ramp and look at your Algarve setup. Thanks again for your help!!

Good luck with it... You could also try softening the rear ARB or stiffening the front, but don't do both at the same time.

Jay it’s working pretty good. One question. Well 2 questions. If it feels as if it’s going to get in a spin in mid corner. Is that suspension or more downforce. 2nd my left rear tire is in the yellow than the other tires? I can’t figure out why? Psi is 18.85 all 4. Ambient is 89 and track is 61 c.

Dre’s Box I guess you could try opening the rear brake ducts to cool the tyre, but it’s very hard to stop a tyre getting hot if it’s doing all the work. Although I would have thought the rear right tyre is doing more with the track direction being anti clockwise. As for mid corner oversteer it depends if it’s high speed on the power or lift off oversteer when transitioning between throttle and brake???

19822andy that’s a strange one.

Mike Neale it’s a valid question but unfortunately this is just a case of my video editing. The only way you can practice any section of the circuit with quick succession is the hot lap mode. Even still this will just be the first or last portion of the lap. Not really what you want I know... so to answer your question. It’s an out right no ☹️

Phromosis I’ll try it but I don’t think it’s any faster 👍🏼

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 If you kinda "guess" when the lights turn green you can easily put half a second on everyone. You'll really gain a tremendous lead if you run the "RR" cars like the 911 RSR or the 911 GT3's -Mossberg Purge

Phromosis when the last red light go’s on, count 3 seconds. It’s the same every time, no matter which race 👍🏼

Check you’re getting to full throttle with the on screen HUD data? Also check you’re car setup, sometimes the setup may have a closed out fuel mix or turbo. You may also have the AI selected to high for your skill level…?

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 I found the problem. apparently my pedal was stuck.. but thanks for the help!

Nice one 👍🏼 & Merry Christmas

Daniel Jensen I’d just practice and practice on a track... You’ll learn where you can carry more speed or where to brake later or earlier to carry more speed on the exit etc. Learning a track can take longer than you think.

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 Okay, I will keep driving on Monza in different classes of cars, as to somewhat get a feel how they can sit. I know the Formula class (Especially the Formula X car) can sit well in the last chicane, I think it is called Ascari, whit full or full ish throttle after I braked to take the turn. Im not given up on Monza as I love and like that track, and was the first ever track I driven on in the first ever racing game I tried (A reall old Formula 1 game, where Michael Schumacher was driving for Ferrari. But it also doesnt mean I wont be trying the other tracks in the game, but I know few of them as they are part of a Formula 1 season. Like Silverstrone and so on

Keep at it... so many cars in Pcars2... each class will drive do differently at Monza. I like the Renault 3.5 Formula to drive. If you like F1 👍🏼

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 I havent tried the lower Formula yet, and I had started a career where I starts at the bottom tier 6 in a stock car like class. I cant remember the full name, but it had Junior in the class name, and wasnt a open wheel class, like Karting or Formula Rookie

Agreed... let’s wait to see if they can turn it around in PC4

Nice looking Chevy on your page. What's that '64?

@@369darkknight yeah it's a 64 it's on horizon 4

also acc in announced to be released for console, very good news for non-pc drivers indeed

Yep... sure it’s mid June release date but that could change with the pandemic disrupting businesses world wide.

deny kristanto I don’t own a PS4 so I’ve never tried it... But, from what I’ve seen. GTSports is definitely more arcade like. Project cars 2, in my opinion, is the best sim racer on console, currently.

Glad to hear it... but surely AC on pc is far better than console... yet I imagine it’s still lacking in weather etc.

Jay Sysum a.k.a Rat Master 3 yeah! No weather or night time without a bad performing mod. This is on a $2k PC. PC2 though? Max settings like a dream.

Abe L glad to hear it 👍🏼

Novicman there’s definitely some good controller drivers out there but I’d always recommend buying a wheel. It’s so much more immersive and you’ll actually start to understand how a car performs because you’ll feel how it works through the wheel. I always used to use the analogs for acceleration and brake on my right stick and I’d steer with the left stick. I’d also change gear with the bumpers.

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 thanks

You’re welcome... And if you’re on Xbox you’ll see the ClassicPhysique3 uses a controller and is constantly at the top of the community events.

Yes they do… especially GT3 drivers… the cars would barely function without itz

Ben Dover probably just knowing when to be on the right tyre and spend time qualifying and learning the circuits. The AI can be pretty hard going sometimes.

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 I can't get podium with beginner level AI

Ben Dover what level is the AI number?

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 30. With all damage on and authentic ABS and stuff

Ben Dover guess you’re just gonna have to race harder... learn the circuit, lots of laps, you should be able beat the AI at this level without messing with the setup.

Need to buy Xbox then 😉

@@jaysysumakaRatMaster3 iv got xbox one and ps4 just prefer the PlayStation
