[@Raycevick]

That last video was great, and this one is too. THANK YOU for exploring both PC2 and elitism in Sim-Racing. I've got issues with PC2's Force Feedback & AI, but that doesn't mean it should be completely written off as it often is, and having grown up with GT2, I always appreciate it when a Racer builds personality with its menus and music. P.S. What do you think of Automobilista 2 if you've played it?

@@NikRomanoRacing Well I told you about it already, I just have this tendency to rewatch videos and wanted to point it out to Raycevik as mine was probably buried. But it does make a huge difference, I could suddenly feel all the small setup changes and catch slides. I'm still pretty shit at drifting, and think AC might still be better for that, but it's possible in PC2 to catch slides. Cars like the Toyota GT86 will also actually slide and do lazy drifts like real life unlike AC where it's almost impossible to break it loose.

Instant subscribe, this video is bang on. Elitism drives away more casual players, and sim racing needs numbers/bums on seats to actually survive as a thing.

[@LogiForce86]

It came too late for Project CARS 3 though, which is doing a 180 and marching off into arcade lala-land. After all, simulation means approximating real world behavior in a virtual environment as good as possible, yet when you start to temper with the laws of Physics so you always have perfect grip for gameplay purposes you are no longer creating a simulator but rather an arcade game with a carefully selected amount of simulated fundamentals. So yeah, not enough sales had them selling the studio to Codemasters and figuring out new ways to make a better buck. All fine but it just isn't Project Community Assisted Racing Simulator anymore. No community was involved and simulation isn't the goal, leaving only racing. So yeah, Project R is what it should be called.

Thanks for making this video. I agree 100%. Former SCCA D production driver here and, other than the vintage cars having modern tires, I’ve always found PC2 to be really enjoyable and realistic (and to fix those vintage cars, all you have to do is drive with the “All Terrain” tires).

@@Leynad778 I'll get AMS2 before too long, everything I've heard says it's right up my alley.

[@Leynad778]

@@NikRomanoRacing It certainly will be, since it feels to me like the essence of pCars 2, AMS, rF2 and AC or is fixing all stuff that is bad in pCars 2. The tyre-model in pCars 2 got way too forgiving with the updates, especially regarding heat. On release it was more like AC and it needed tyre-management even through a short race. You could drift a GT3-car once, but not twice in a row and generally the slicks in pCars 2 feels too soft and too forgiving, also lacking FFB. Cars in AMS2 are soft and forgiving or stiff and unforgiving depending on the car, but I always feel in control and confident until i loose control mostly because of over-confidence, overcooking tyres or both. There is a healthy margin for errors unlike in AC in many cars, but not too much like in pCars 2.

[@MeasuringHistory]

PC2 forces you to drive race cars. Its focus on racing culture and discipline is top notch. I really appreciate that the game shows that racing is more than about reaching the podium every race. To win you gotta put the work and the laps in. I've played most sims AC, RRE, RF2 and PC2 does the best in getting you up and racing in no time. For everything you get out of the box plus a couple dlcs makes it one of the best values in sim racing.

Wow great video. PC2 is my favorite race game. In fact before I tried PC2 on a rift s, I did not care all that much about racing. Three weeks after trying it, I had bought a TSPC wheel and pedals. And In a few months it's going to be a DD wheel, with proper pedals and a HP Reverb G2. Even not taking the realism in to account. Things like the racing engineer had made it much easier for me to understand tuning the setup. It introduced me to cars I never though I would like. Just the level of detail of everything is insane. It's just a joy to sit in some cars an drive. I will often drive a slower car in a multi class race and smile as the LMP cars scream past me.

[@NikRomanoRacing]

That's awesome! As an avid race fan and car guy, I'm happy PC2 was able to bridge that gap for you and bring you into the dark side. I had a similar experience the first time I loaded into a race in VR. My friend and I picked the 1960s era Lotus F1 cars at Laguna Seca, and as soon as it popped up we just sat there staring at the incredible detail on the cars, both inside and out. I specifically remember looking at the reflections on the exposed headers on his car gridded next to me. Very cool stuff.

@@NikRomanoRacing I drift pretty well in AC with my G29. Had no issues on a DFGT before that either (I had modded pedals though). Before that I had a Fanatec Porshe GT3 AND LOVED IT TO DEATH... until it broke. So I then had them send me a replacement... that broke. So then I bought a DFGT with modded G25 pedals. That was in 2013. It still works like new and I'm waiting on my friends to get PCs to give it them. I bought a G29 with my PC in 2018 and it also still works and is the most I think I need for now.

[@surrealadventures776]

Great channel

[@spaceyamgaming]

Love the video! I got PCars2 along with a few other sims (including AC) in a bundle for quite cheap, and it was the first one I tried out. I think there are a couple of big reasons why the handling gets complained about: If you're an inexperienced racer (like I was), and you find yourself in a career series like Formula C, where the first track is a cold Brno, and you've opted for the "loose" setup, you're absolutely going to have problems. In this scenario, the track is cold and the tyres never get up to temperature - which was absolutely infuriating to the point where I Google'd it, and the number of results for "Formula C has terrible handling" is quite extensive. But you know what? I wised up. I've spent nearly 200 hours in the game now, driven many different series and cars, and worked out - the default setups aren't necessarily bad, but the game doesn't necessarily choose the right tyres automatically. For example, Formula C doesn't have soft or hard slicks - only one type. So unless it's raining, it defaults to slicks regardless of track temperature. The better choice in this scenario are either sport or wet tyres. But then the next problem - I ended up significantly lowering the difficult on Formula C just so I could escape the series and get into a different car. It was only after that point, driving Group A, Clio Cup, Renault Trophy RS, Porsche Cayman, and Formula Renault, that if your throttle control isn't right... the car will do exactly what you tell it to do. These days I'm running around AI strength of 100, trying to iron out the rest of my flaws, and I am quite confident that if I put the time back into Formula C, I could be racing at a strength of 100 with the experience I've gained in around 100 hours driving time since then. I also found that driving Formula Renault actually helped me the first time I went back to a go kart track - I was posting times within 2-3 seconds of the faster on the leaderboard despite not having been there for over a year (still knew the track layout well). So obviously PCars2 is doing something right.

[@iulian2548]

I tried the F40 on AC and PC2. Totally different behavior, the PC2 one seems pretty unconvincing. To much grip on the rears and can't feel the turbos kicking in as in AC. In general cars in PC seem to be easier to drive fast.

[@oj7177]

It depends very much on the setup and tyres. Tweaking it to make it more precise could be the key to make the rear more lively If you're talking about the street version of the f40, i like to drive vintage cars on all terrain tyres or even on winter tyres, and they feel much more alive. But i still have to understand well the f40 setup, as i have a problem with the car suddenly gaining grip mid corner Also, bare in mind that you have never driven an f40, so you can't really know how it should behave unless you informed well by reading magazines. I remember being disappointed with the porsche 917 10 because it oversteered mid corner even on long fast corners, but after some reading i discovered that the car was doing the same thing in real life too

Hey man fellow is300 owner here and would love to here you point of view on how the car performs compared to other cars and why you chose it as one of your vehicles !

[@NikRomanoRacing]

I picked it mostly because it was something different. Everybody has a 3 series, S2000, or Miata race car. It also has an extremely reliable engine, I was already friends with Figs Engineering so I had a good source of aftermarket parts, and I just think they are cool. The challenge of trying to build a different and unexpected car sounded like a lot of fun, so I went for it!

Just as i expected. I've never raced in a real track, but i drive cars irl too, and atleast the road cars always felt like they should in this game for me. FWD cars have understeer, but you can easily counter that by causing lift off oversteer to help rotate the car and maintain front end grip, and you can easily control RWD cars slides with proper throttle and wheel inputs. I like how race cars feel in this game, but i can't talk about those because I've never driven one irl. Edit: corrected a typing error

I love Pcars2 was just nice to hit like 3 buttons and be in a race. Plus they had a nice group of cars that wasnt just all GT3 and F1 cars

[@Males_Should_Be_Abused]

The problem is the ffb takes a stupid amount of tweaking from car to car.. there’s also something fundamentally ‘detached’ about the steering feel some of the cars and tracks are not at the same standard as say gt3 or lmp. Mainly the tracks tho.. oh my Lord some of the tracks are so BAD

I tried AC, ACC, Raceroom, PC2 amongst other sims. The ones I really enjoy are ACC and PC2 for the driving model. I do have complaints about PC2 tho : -the penalty system ! (that can be turned off ) - the kerbs being whatthefuckityfuck on some parts - some lack of balance between cars in the same category ( you show the Group A in this vid, the skyline is SO OP in there. ), then that also can be fixxed by banning the use of a particular car in a championship. But the racingi in champs I commentate / participate in is just amazing and I had incredible battles on this game, which is, in the end, what we want, to have fun battle for positions. PS: I do know it's logical to have "OP cars" in categories if their real life counterparts were also OP. but still, makes everyone choose the same car if you don't stop them from doing so.

Also, if I look by gametime, PC2is the only one I got more than 1000 hours on XD oh another thing I don't really like, we can't rock multiple custom liveries for the same car unless we use a mod

[@NikRomanoRacing]

I do agree about kerbs, they are a bit hard to deal with sometimes, and customer liveries would be a great addition. I have a comment somewhere in here about my ideal racing game, add Forza livery maker and Photoshop imports to that list.
