Project Cars Weekly TIme Trail

[born2bslow]

If you don't mind experimenting, we know there is a difference so maybe a different (lower) AI setting on PS4 could work. Maybe rex could help out with this as he has both versions. Time for some performance balancing? I think that seems reasonable.

[born2bslow]

I'd love to go and buy a ps4 to compare but I'd never use it for anything else so not worth it.

Struggling with the PC to to better so I will leave this one here for now.

Not enjoying this one so not put that many laps in. Very boring car to drive. Had a couple of goes in the clio challenge which is much more fun. Will post below to keep separate.

Only second go and many, many mistakes. Will try on both PC and PS4 to get a bit of a comparison for a handicap.

Are we running with full damage on and tyre wear.

Will have to do this next week as off to Snetterton for some real life track driving in my m3 and also taking my new to me MR2 turbo to see how that behaves when pushed.

Bit of M3 action from a few years ago.

Highlights as a bit of a boring video

Spin at 2:25
Me trying to keep up with porsches but can only do so by out braking them from 6:10 onwards
A bit sideways 8:00

A bit of footage from the Lotus I used to be part owner of

[All that jazz]

I actually hate the current time trial that much that I'm not even going to waste time on it. 1:51:233 is all I can be arsed with. No way that Bradders is using auto on that either using a pad. Despite following same lines he pulls away like a scalded cat out of every corner. The auto just bogs down, especially out of the last left-hander.

Time-trial coordinator here needs to choose proper circuits not figure of 8s like this crappy one.

Replay below, much cleaner race, got my overtaking spot nailed, but I still have to yield into turn 1 as the AI can just take it far quicker.

New boy.... not sure if I've done that right (GT = MAT-1_9_8_3).

Can't work out how to upload the replay to YT though?

Welcome aboard Maty. Sure you've done it right, you're top of the table , now I have to go and give it another try.

Don't worry too much it's all just for fun anyway. You have to create a YouTube channel for yourself, I use shadow play on PC to record I don't think you can just upload replays, you have to find a way to capture them. I may be wrong though.

Anybody with a PS4 know how it's done?

There isn't a time trial coordinator, it's just for fun after all. We've had other bad ones, Escort at Willow Springs Thief Mile course for instance. There is always going to be some combos that just aren't as much fun. That isn't a reason not to try them though.

PS4 records the last 15 mins of your gameplay or you can save a replay. Press the "Share" button on the controller and you can edit the footage and then upload it to a you tube account. You need a youtube account first of course.

Only just top Good racing that though and it took many attempts/glasses of wine to get 10 reasonably clean laps, I think I was in first by the end of lap 2.

I'll look into the replay stuff and setup a YT channel, then I can have a crack at a few of these TT's.

[Maty]

My setup isn't ideal either yet..... Picture a massive gaming bean bag and an ironing board with a T150 clamped to it

No problems here with Shadowplay, other than the latest update switched it off. I just manually switched it back on. But it records fine.

Just found the Beta v 2.11.0.54 which doesn't call it Shadowplay anymore, it calls is Share and ALT Z opens up the record functions as an overlay on the Desktop or during the game and recording during a game or on desktop via one simple command screen.

Sound is now working and playback is normal speed. Both Alt F9 and Alt F10.

Although one particularly annoying bug of the Beta is my screen going black after a few minutes now, needing an Alt Tab (to get back to PCars). Which dropped me from 3rd to 4th on lap 5 (regained the position soon after) then as I was braking hard to go to 2nd the following lap I pulled my wheel off the desk . First time I had raced the AI as well.
