[Angeltheartist]

I would like to know if triple screen will be fully supported ? I ask because latest video showing game play in triple screen still looks like side screens are stretched . Similar to the original Project Cars.

Following up on this, will they include bezel and monitor angles, as mine are place at 45 degree angles from the center monitor and almost no game takes this into account.

 

[felippekiss]

I would like to know if the game will have better physics or the SMS will only prioritize the visual again.

 

[Omer Said]

I would like to know whether they plan to bring some immersion to the career mode with not-randomed AI names and progression.

 

[Sky]

is it actually going to be a sim this time?

 

[Peter Kerényi]

I would like to ask whether there will be an option to have the steering wheel without hands and whether the wheel in game will move the same way as the wheel in our hands (no fake shaking)...

 

[muzikant]

Is there real driver names in game/teams??

 

[ThatRacingGuy]

Ask them this, how bad is this going to be compared to Project cars 1?
No lol please don't ask.

Ask something physics related and i am a happy man.

 

[Jockey]

How many DLCs will we see this time?

Any possibility for a season pass?

How will be the performance on AMD hardware?

Will there be pre-order exclusive cars?

Are there any career improvements?

How long will they support the game before moving on?

 

[Blimey]

Blancpain GT pack?

 

[DND]

1. Can there be an AI mechanic/engineer that could analyze the data collected during your practice and suggest setup changes?
2. Can we expect the racing AI to more closely respect actual track limits, and when they don't will they lose grip and track position?
3. In the Phoenix, and now PC2 testing sim I have been penalized for exceeding track limits when I clearly spun/lost control ran wide or skidded off track. Will the sim be able to determine the difference between cutting a corner for an advantage versus running off track or loss of control and losing time/track position?
Thanks Paul and look forward to your interview. Good Luck.

 

[Emery]

Will the inside starting line of AI cut T1 in every race rather than blend or stay side-by-side on the tarmac? All the pCARS 2 videos on YouTube still show this annoying behavior.

Pictures of the Long Beach circuit are looking fantastic! How much developer and artist time has it taken to reach that level of visual quality?

 

[Nick Gregory]

Will there be coleslaw?

 

[TylerDurden4321]

- Will we be able to change the level of TCS and ABS (not just "on"/"off"!) while driving in cars that have this feature in real life?
- I felt the braking physics in pCARS1 (in some cars trail-braking lead to mind-boggling understeer in others to immediate spinning out with brake balance having not much of an effect on this) were the biggest offender. What was improved in this regard.
- I've read that pCARS1 telemetry apps will be supported. Does that mean it will be the same channels, with important telemetry data like "tyre load" or "CoG-height" not present in the shared memory?

1. Can there be an AI mechanic/engineer that could analyze the data collected during your practice and suggest setup changes?

This feature would be fantastic!! But I could understand if this would be something that is rather "outsourced" to external app developers, given that SMS are on a hard timeline with other big console racing games coming out soon, that could eat their lunch.

 

[Filip Carlén]

If they felt like tha Ai held up with that they promised since a big part of the community doesn't think it did

 

[gianlucaP]

The game on console go against Forza and GT and both these games have rally cars. Now that pCars is introducing rally cross and dirt surfaces, I would like to know if there is a chance to see some rally DLC with the old group B and group A most famous cars. Even if the game won't have long rally courses, these kind of cars would make happy lot of players.

 

[Shaun Clarke]

1) Why are your physics / handling / Force feed back so crap!!!!

2) Amazing GFX, weather, night and day, are not everything to a real sim racing driver, the feedback and handling is paramount to most..Are you going to tackle this, and if so how?

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Thanks for the suggestions so far gents I'll be adding them to the list to ask Ian.

Keep them coming please

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Edit: I'll be adding most of them to the list anyway
