To those who have tried Project CARS, are the physics similar, better or worse than Assetto Corsa's? Because I saw some in-game videos for Project CARS, the physics don't seem as real as in the trailer. Thanks!
PCARS is full of features and contemt how well it will all work remains to be seen.
Physics and driving wise AC is more accurate, in particular the suspension/chassis response to weight transfer, inertia and mass comes through much more in the driving experience and overall behaviour. This is the biggest weakpoint with PCARS in my opinion, despite a complex tyre model, the tyres overpower the driving experience and the suspension/chassis doesn't respond how I'd expect.
For me the sims with the most accurate and convincing physics are Gmotor 2, LFS, RF2 and AC, these are the top tier sims. Pcars is above GT/Forza due to a better tyre model but lacks the physics/dynamics in other areas of the physics engine to be a top tier sim. If they can get the FFB working well out of the box, not give all cars a fudged pad friendly setup and get the AI working well and able to lap fast and consistent it will be a great game I'm sure.
Interesting. Ben Collins (the ex Stig), Nicolas Hamilton, Rene Rast. Just to name a few real life race drivers. Especially Ben Collins reviews (exclusive WMD content) about some cars in Pcars are pretty impressive.
And now some hobby sim fans (all over the net, not just here on this forum) come and say PCars physics is simcade
Who can we believe?
I had no hands on the game so I can´t judge the physics. But I hope they nail it. I´ve read so often that people think a sim is a sim when the car is handling like on ice. And I have read so often from real life racers that race cars are not that hard to drive like people think.

Nicolas Hamilton was brought on the team to provide feedback because he does not only race IRL but has a history of simracing (and have been racing here on RD for a while too).Don’t you ever think about that they’re perhaps getting paid to say things like this?
A few years back the game would pretty much have to be done by now for a release 21. november, it's what they call "going gold" which means the game needs to be ready to be put on a golden master disc which they use to start mass manufacturing physical copies that will be shipped to stores.So release for Pcars is November 21 uk, at what point do the devs stop working on it until after release? Some of you say you hope they nail it for release but do they work right up till a week before or a month? maybe they've stopped working now? I've always wondered this with every game.
Yes, the game is a arcade and it will be forever. right now It's only good for worshiping the car models 3d work.
Assetto is promissing but needs to improve alot on graphics.
Assetto is very unrealistic at low speed physics right now.
please...those drivers get paid to help sell the game!
I have the game and i tell you this:

And regarding the pros and their connection to pcars: I’m always skeptical when professional sport stars praise a game in which they’re involved in to the skies…

70-80% of the buyers will be arcade racers anyway who does not care about physics. I dont know if it is worth to pay a pro race driver to say this, only to convince some sim racers
René Rast said something like this: "pCARS it's the most realistic sim out there"
...and you think he's not being paid to say this, lol...
