Still learning the wheel so should be more time to come if I get a chance tonight.

Have you played around with the settings?

I adjusted the deadzones to remove all of them (stock has a weird off centre deadzone) and tweaked the ffb for a mre realistic driving experience

[Gav147]

Out of interest Jay what setting are you using for FFB? I can't recall what mine is without being at home to check, think i put it down to about 40%, still think it needs tweaking as it just doesn't feel quite right. Although I recently bought AC so maybe it is just the difference between the two sims that is making it more noticeable now.

[xjay1337]

I cant remember either.

I followed a video guide. Set all the scoop knee crap lol.

I should probably tweak it a bit for my exact needs but works enough.

I'll grab the settings later or you can look up the top g29 force feedback settings link on the old googley

Project Cars is a bit stupid when it comes to setups as it's all logged to one file and not many separate files like every other racing sim I have ever used. If you leave a car without changing the setup no change is made to the file and it is seen as default, but if you make any change at any time (for racing, more fuel, less fuel, or anything in any part of the game) it has to make a change to the setup file, it's then custom. But also when you change back to default for time trial it has to make a change to the setup file and it thinks it's custom still because a change has been logged.

Got it, thought it might be something stupid like that. Managed to improve my time a little with ABS, surprised how much later I can brake. I think with a little more practice I can get another half a second at a push, we'll see...

Here's a full lap, bearing in mind this is with a custom setup: https://youtu.be/s49YUIcHMRI
And one for comparison with the default setup: https://youtu.be/KWqSgEVxIN8

[ShakeyJake188]

Brands Indy, haven't been there for a while, fun and deceptively tricky. Good call Jake

Thanks bud.
I'll try again today just to see, you take 1st on the long right at the begining of S2.
The rest of our times and lines are very similar, I struggle like hell on that corner and get horrid understeer!

[em177]

I've given this a really quick go before heading to work and managed a 56.876 in a dozen or so laps.

I'm assuming this will be smashed by tonight

S2 is effectivley 3 corners and one fast kink. Crucial to get good drive as early as possible.
That first corner, you almost need to take at more of a V to get the drive. I was loosing lots of time here until i figured that out.

Bugger

I felt good with my time..Obviously not haha.

Steam leaderboards fastest default is a 53.6xx from memory.

[danpalmer1993]

Interesting combo! Will have to have a go tonight.

[Ian_sUK]

Did we come to a conclusion on any time difference between the PC and PS4?

[xjay1337]

I think some cars/tracks behave slightly differently on different consoles.
