Project CARS - Launch Trailer

[GasClown]

Looking bloody great - just hope the driving is as good as Assetto. I don't think I can go back to anything lesser now. haha.

I changed my order from PSN to JB to get the LE cars and it is in the mail, probably won't have it until Monday though.

[AntinOz]

Mine should arrive tomorrow and my new wheel, hopefully, my wife will pick up this evening.

[GasClown]

Just pre-ordered mine from JB. There was no special edition though... unless it's not advertised that way. Not fussed about the additional cars anyway. Unsure when it'll arrive but I'd say by the end of the working week.

I'm all geared up for it too, wheel/pedals/shifter.

Another thing - where/how do you mic up on a wheel? Do you still go through the PS4 controller?

The day after I ordered the LE for PS4 was taken down and only Xbox One and PC were there.

Yeah - probably sold out... looks like I won't have mine until next week as it still hasn't arrived. They use regular post which is a bit of a letdown. First time I've bought from them online, probably should have ducked into the store and gotten it instead. Oh well, lesson learned.

I'll have to look into it (I'm using Sennheiser GAME ZEROs). Thinking of setting the PS4 up at my PC as that's where the wheel etc is. Just a little concerned how it'll go on a 3440 x 1440 resolution display. I'm guessing I'll just get pillar boxes which I can probably live with.

apparently project cards is a big no go if you have an amd gpu or 2 on pc.

Why?

EDIT - don't worry, just read over an article. Looks like they're working on drivers now anyway.

my mate at work is raging about it, he's got 2 7970s & is only pulling about 20fps even with the lowest quality settings.  if he races solo with weather off he's over 70fps.  for the beta he's had everything maxed on up to 3 screens with no issues.

You are not alone there mate, I don't know when mine will turn up.

can't cancel your orders & just get it from steam or similar ?

I want the extra cars that PSN didn't offer so hopefully it'll be here tomorrow, I don't know why they don't at least offer Express on a pre-order.

I'd say mine is in the mail already... so unable to cancel it.

Agree.

Just got my copy. Will give it a run tonight no doubt and also see how the PS4 goes on the PC monitor so I don't have to start shifting the wheel around all the time (which would become a massive pain).

at worst you could get a 1080p screen & try swapping them around, or when you build your racing cockpit you could have a screen dedicated to that, little nerdy but would be pretty sweet.

Nothing nerdy about that, the only reason I haven't done it is because I am waiting for Occulus CV1 and Morpheus.

Yeah - I've thought of doing that eventually but I think as AroGantz has said, I might just wait for Occulus as it's not too far off now even if it's early next year.

CV1 is set to go in the first quarter of 2016 with pre-orders opening soon. I got my DLC code in the mail today but no game, awesome stuff.

I've had a bit of a bad experience to begin with but gotten to the bottom of it... had to basically delete the day one patch and save and restart as pretty much everything was locked otherwise.

Anyway, now that I've got it running, been really trying to work the FFB to my taste... out of the box it's not very good but apparently there's a lot of guides on how to get the most out of it. Same with the FOV as well. I had a little taste of the go karts and it was absolutely crazy. Anyway - back into it to get the FFB perfecto.
