Are any of you guys interested in a race series/championship online?

Like the one the PS4 guys are doing? I had a look and couldn't see anything organised yet!

Yes yes yes.

I was doing some online racing with Sharky last night and it was very fun, so a PH championship would be brilliant

For the Xbox lot if you are still struggling with controller:
Project Cars Controller Settings
Note: All Dead Zones Remain the same when changing cars

Key
Preference:- second number (if two given)
Alternative:- first number (if two given)

Normal Cars (Road/Race/GT/LMP1+2/Touring/NASCAR)
Steering Sensitivity: 30
Throttle Sensitivity: 0
Brake Sensitivity: 30
Speed Sensitivity: 75-80

Open-Wheel Cars (All Formula Cars/Old F1)
Steering Sensitivity: 30
Throttle Sensitivity: 0
Brake Sensitivity: 30
Speed Sensitivity: 65-70

Go Karts (Kart One/Super Kart)
Steering Sensitivity: 40
Throttle Sensitivity: 0
Brake Sensitivity: 30
Speed Sensitivity: 35-40

All other Settings And Deadzones (Do Not Change)
Steering Deadzone: 60
Throttle Deadzone: 20
Brake Deadzone: 20
Clutch Deadzone: 20
Clutch Sensitivity: 40
Controller Filtering Sensitivity: 15
Damper Saturation: Locked
Force Feedback: 0
RPM/Gear Display: On
Controller Input Mode: 3
Advanced: On
Soft Steering Dampening: On
Visual Wheel Filtering: On
Opposite Lock Help: Off

These settings worked wonders!

It's now playable, although on forza I have no assists and manual clutch and on this I still have to have traction and stability control with auto box.

With stability off I find it almost impossible to catch a slide even with full opposite lock. And using A as clutch and X/B as up/down shift I find it hard to do smooth shifts which upsets the balance of the car and I end up in the gravel.

All in all though if they can sort a few bits out and I get a bit better this is going to be awesome. Tempted to get a thrustmaster or fanatec wheel now :/

Copying Colin's?
Have both consoles?

Me too, have a feeling I may be the Pastor Maldonado of PCars though so be warned...

Fancy giving the Ferrari 458 steering wheel a go - how does the pedal set secure to the floor? And can you add a manual gearbox to it? Thanks chaps...

[westtra]

Roll on the patch. Just got home too this and its woefully ste.

[Captain Spoons]

When I am trying to change the buttons, keeps saying I need to assign more buttons to controls
I think I have them all covered other than gears etc, any advice? Ta!

The wheel is fantastic, i'd recommend it to anyone, although the FFB takes a bit of setting up and getting used to on PCars.
My pedals are mounted to my wheelstand so I can't comment on how they'd do on the floor... Not great i'd assume.

As for the manual box, yep, there are a few add ons, I have the TH8A shifter and it is sublime, plus you can go from H pattern to sequential within about 40 seconds worth of work

I've updated the wiki with my GT too

Do all of the ones you want and then hit start and go to options and back out from there and it will save them for you.

Make sure you have set DRS and KERS

With the controller it's ok, but with the wheel it's brilliant. I wouldn't say woefully bad but there are some cars with a controller that are really bad but some that are good but it is supposed to be a sim and would you drive a car with a controller?
