Project Cars 2

Mon, 16 Apr 2018 08:26:02 +0000

Hey guys,

I have been following a thread on the Z car forum where all the guys have been driving the same 240z around Bathurst.

I was thinking we should be doing something similar on here, so I am thinking the 911R around Bathurst. Bathurst, particularly over the top is a track to sort out the men from the boys so lets see some times.

EOI PFA IROC Assetto Corsa

Wed, 18 Apr 2018 11:22:15 +0000

Hey there fellow gamers and PFAers. I’ve been pondering the idea of running or assisting in running a race night using Assetto Corsa for PC, racing the 1974 RSR at Riverside Raceway. The RSR is part of AC and some clever person has converted Riverside to work with AC. Nothing too serious, short 5 lap races, hacks and seasoned sim races allowed, drinking encouraged. I can run a private server but might be limited by how many users I can run due to the crazy path my internet takes between my machine and router. I’ve successfully hosted 6 players but I might be able to set up a dedicated server for the event if we get larger numbers. Anyway EOI for now to gauge how many would be interested.

The next releases of Project Cars 2 will have a DLC with some classic porsches.

Here's one for all you gamers. Might as well be comfortable.

I particularly like the bit that says "a stain proof gaming experience"

Xbox and Porsche get race-y for Forza Motorsport 7

Revealed: The Xbox Onesie Performance Edition

This October, as race fans around Australia prepare to start their engines with the release of Forza Motorsport 7 on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs, out today, Xbox has set out to make motorsport more comfortable than ever before.

Designed to celebrate the launch of the most comprehensive automotive game ever made, the Xbox Onesie: Forza Motorsport 7 Performance Edition puts the player firmly in the driving seat with the most advanced automotive gamewear ever created; offering gamers unparalleled coziness and functionality as they hit the virtual track.

Inspired by Porsche-level performance, real race gear and the original Xbox Onesie, the limited-edition garment retains many fan-favourite features – including enlarged pockets for your controllers and smartphones, and personalised Gamertag embroidery – whilst adding a whole host of new and exciting upgrades, including:

- Fully breathable fabric that offers a stain proof gaming experience
- A tighter, tailored fit, providing race suit performance from the comfort of the couch
- Elasticated pockets, ensuring your devices stay secure – even when drifting
- Leather forearm grips to keep your arms on the road
- Enhanced backside padding, making even the longest stint a breeze
- Built-in detachable hydration pouch with easily accessible mouthpiece – giving gamers access to their favourite drinks whilst laying down their lap time

Built with gaming performance in mind, Xbox Australia worked with Porsche Cars Australia to ensure the Onesie captured the essence of local motorsport, enlisting the help of two Porsche race drivers to test and unveil the suits.

“Motorsport is a risky business with dangers at every turn, so keeping cool and remaining comfortable is crucial to success. With so many similarities to real race suits, the Performance Edition Onesie is the perfect pairing to the most realistic motorsport game ever created”, said Chelsea Angelo, Australian professional driver, who experienced the suit alongside Matt Campbell, Current Australian Carrera Cup champion and official Porsche junior driver in the European Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup, at Sydney Motorsport Park this week.

With Forza Motorsport 7, everyone can experience the danger and beauty of competitive racing at their limit. Collect over 700 Forzavista cars, including the largest collection of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches available in any racing game. Master over 30 famous environments with dynamic conditions that change every time you race. In addition, Forza Motorsport 7 will feature more than 15 different “Voices of Motorsport,” including professional race car drivers, TV personalities and more.

Forza Motorsport 7 is available now at the Microsoft Store and all good retailers, including JB Hi Fi, EB Games and Harvey Norman. A limited number of Forza Motorsport 7 Performance Edition Xbox Onesies will be made available to local fans via the Xbox Australia Facebook page later this week.

Join the conversation on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, using the #XboxOnesies hashtag.

Gaming Hardware

Tue, 27 Dec 2016 07:00:30 +0000

Posted this on an earlier thread re Assetto Corsa but thought it warranted a new topic

Can I kindly get an idea of what hardware you are all using?

My teenager boy and I are all over this game and brought the Porsche pack (wow!) but we are using the hand held controller and are way in the double digits with our laptimes on the Ring.

Really hard to battle with oversteer without over correcting on the hand held!

We are looking at getting a driving simulator and all the kit and are interesting in what people would recommend.

Porsche 911 GT3 Cup wheel

Tue, 07 Mar 2017 00:02:18 +0000

So I've ordered a Porsche wheel and will be getting a fabricated button plate, based on the 2015 911 GT3 R for sim racing.

Here's the first piece:

Checking out the Gaming forum and surprised not to see iRacing as one of the subjects. I know they only have one 'Porsche' but it's definitely my racing game of choice.

Assetto Corsa - Gets Porsche License!!

Tue, 19 Jul 2016 08:47:24 +0000

This sim has been sitting in my Steam library for over a year, unused. Criminal given how good it is. It's about to get a lot better. The developers have manged to get Porsche permission to use their cars. Only the dreaded EA have managed this so far, and none of their products are even close to a simulation.

Porsche License

20 cars from Stuttgart will make it in, and only one has been revealed.. the 935/78. I'm stoked!.Release date TBA.

Here's an early render.

*Edit* I overlooked Forza's recent license, but Corsa would offer a better experience, compared to the more arcadey Forza dynamics.

Xbox One - need help from someone under 40

Mon, 12 Dec 2016 21:27:28 +0000

I have bought my kids an Xbox one for Christmas. They are both Porsche/car game freaks - what do I need to buy game wise?

Any other suggestions around good games that dont involve rape, human geanocide or snipers killing people?

My game console experience tapered out circa Atari 2600

Thanks

Dave

EA license is dead

Mon, 12 Dec 2016 21:11:55 +0000

PFA F1 Dream Team 2016

Mon, 07 Mar 2016 10:18:29 +0000

Hi PFA'ers. I’ve started a 2016 Formula 1 Dream Team. It’s free to play, and the league I've set up is open to PFA members only. The league is called Porsche Forum Aust

Go to https://sportsdeck.com/au/f1/dreamteam to register. Click on the big orange JOIN NOW button. When you get to the The Formalities section there are 2 tick boxes. You don't have to tick the first box, but you do have to accept the T&C's.

Once in, enter your name, gender, and date of birth (you must be 18 & over). There are a couple of fields that aren't mandatory, so don't fill them in if you don't want to; they're phone number & occupation.

On the next screen enter your PFA screen name as your team name and click on I WAS INVITED TO JOIN LEAGUE. Enter the code 155721 to join the league. The reason for using your PFA screen name as your team name is so we all know who's who. For example, my team name is Stew F.

Once registered, confirm your membership by sending me a private message via the forum. Then I'll set up a spreadsheet to log the results after each race, and post the round's results and overall league standings. There is prize money for 1^st, 2^nd & 3^rd overall is $500, $250 & $250 respectively. That’s for the entire competition, not just our league. During the season I’ll try to rustle up a prize or two for the winner and runner up.

Have fun with it.

Stew.

Wed, 18 Feb 2015 05:10:28 +0000

Hey guys,

Had a play on a really cool simulator recently ($30K worth so I'm told)

Great fun but if i wanted to get one where do I start?

I'd like something with a wheel / pedals that I can add audio enhancements to at a laster stage

In a perfect world I'd like to drive some of the Australian circuits in a GT3 if possible.

Whats the entry level ?

PS3 / xbox / PC / Mac

I have a Mac which i'd be happy to use...

Driving games for PS4 recommendations

Sat, 26 Dec 2015 11:40:46 +0000

So the kids got a PS4 for xmas. Time to pack away the original PS - I'm gonna miss Colin McRae Rally...

Obviously I'm a bit out of date on games and while the kids are happy with Skylanders I'm keen for any recommendations of good driving games.

Go.

RFactor GT Historics - Porsche 911

Thu, 02 Jan 2014 09:19:32 +0000

Hi all,

Thought this may be of some interests to fellow gamers and Porsche fans. I am big fan of racing sims and more frequently on the Simraceway league.

RFactor is a racing sim that has been around for years with some really great mods/addons. It's PC based and you need a good steering wheel. I have a Logitech G27.

The GT Historics mod has great selection of 911's from the great 70's era not to mention all other makes. There are also heaps of tracks to download - Spa and Bathurst being my fav.

These sound amazing and are real fun to drive. Graphics are real good with car details pretty accurate

Regards,

Greg.

Assetto Corsa Dream Pack 1 - THE BEST GREEN HELL SO FAR!

Fri, 13 Mar 2015 00:00:57 +0000

Friends,

If all you want to do is drive a 911 around the greatest racetrack in the world (The Green Hell), and test your H pattern/heel and toeing techniques, not to mention forge new depths of self condemning verbal expletives, then this is for you!

There are now far fewer reasons to blame dodgy virtual driving skills on the UI, or the pimply faced geeks writing the code! The physics of the track are par excellence, far above any other versions I've driven, and the car (Yellowbird - bog standard) handles beautifully (if somewhat cantankerously) most of the time! The graphics have taken a significant lift as well with apparently all of the "signpost/graffiti/ads" that real drivers use to navigate their apexs and braking points etc, now visible.

In a nutshell - the upgrade pack @ around $20AUD is worth every cent! (Assetto Corsa at around $60?)

No-one ever said it was going to be easy to get that car around that track, but someone has to try, many times, and simply put...

ITS. ACE.
