    I reckon project cars is more towards the correct look of being run down, a race track in the middle of nowhere.

    Crazy how the two have such different looks for such a simple track

    I searched for Rooz liveries but I always come up nil on those.

    Pjc2 looks more real. As stated above, its not a clean- beautiful- unscathed track.

    Pjc2 FTW

    Its a real shame Leipzig is only DLC, would make a good league track for low to medium speed cars.

    I wish P.cars 2 and GTS had a baby together.
    P.cars 2 is awesome but GTS just looks so damn sexy.

    You will most likely have to wait for a PS5 before that will be possible. With the PS4, you have a choice between sharp graphics or dynamic lighting (day/night cycles with shadows etc.). Same reason why you can't race online with VR, it just doesn't have the grunt.

    think of it this way..... PCARS might be the 'slightly' ugly sister, but GTS is the gorgeous supermodel that cant put a sentence together !

    It's such a pitty that Mugello won't be used for league or series events. I remembered it being a challenging circuit to master from the days of Forza 3, but it's so much fun once you get the hang of it.

    Just gave Christiaan's pure FFB custom settings a go and it's brilliant, highly recommend you try it.
    I was on the verge of refunding the game until I installed it. Tried a couple of others just for comparison and this was by far the best, at least for my wheel. Gives so much more feedback to correct slides I can actually control the Kart now instead of just looping out all the time.

    Christiaan's pure FFB custom settings
    http://forum.projectcarsgame.com/showthread.php?66720-Christiaan-s-Pure-FFB-(Custom-pCARS2-FFB-File)
    Download attachment: http://forum.projectcarsgame.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=279403&d=1588596994

    I am running a Fanatec CSL elite PS4 version. Settings as below.

    On wheel
    Tweaked DRI, others default / as per Fanatec recommendations:
    https://forum.fanatec.com/discussion/654/project-cars-2-pc-fanatec-recommended-settings
    • SEN 1080 (shown as 108 on some displays)
    • FF 100
    • SHO 100 (seems to have no effect)
    • ABS OFF
    • DRI -02
    • FOR 100
    • SPR 100 (only effects game menu)
    • DPR 100 (no effect)
    • FEI 020*
    *FEI 080 as recommended by Fanatec causes terrible and noisy rattling in vehicles like the Kart, which masks the steering feel and is very distracting. FEI 040 is tolerable, some effect remains even at 000 to 010. 020 is a nice balance of mostly smooth while giving some feel in corners with a broken surface where the Kart visibly chatters. Adjust to personal preference.

    In Game FFB
    Tweaked gain from Christiaan's recommendations for Belt Driven wheels
    • Flavour: Custom, file applied is LSS (oscillation reduction) with Standard FX
    • Gain: 90 (reduced slightly to give smoother feel around centre)
    • Volume: Adjust to suit car and personal preference, map a button to be able to quickly adjust in car:
      • 40 baseline
      • 50 - 60 heavy (e.g. Kart)
      • 30 - 40 light (e.g. power steering sports car i.e. Porsche 918 Spyder)
    • Tone: 50
    • FX: 25

    In Game other settings all pretty standard except I set deadzone to zero on everything.
    @Anthonyb definitely give this a go mate, info at the links if you have a different wheel.

    Glad you found some settings that work mate.
    Ill try the T500 settings and see how they go and if it makes any difference.

    The game settings are a double edge sword, when the wheel settings are right the game feels unreal...
    Every car feels different and you can feel the slides and bumps through the wheel....even in the weather changes there is a difference in the way the car feels.... hit a puddle and you can feel the car pull to the side the water was on....
    Enjoy !

    Thanks mate. Really enjoying the historic invitational events. They certainly feel awesome.
    I am also going to play with the on wheel settings SHO and FEI a bit, to see if winding them down tunes out the awful rattling the Kart suffers from at higher volume settings. Reducing the volume for this is a bit of a compromise, it doesn't completely tune out the rattling and makes the steering light, where it should be heavy in a kart.
    Drove the Porsche hybrid invitational at Azure coast. Steering feedback felt a bit vague in that car but got used to it. Maybe it's accurate!

    Let me know how you go. Pity you can't do custom FFB flavour's on the PS4.
