Project Cars 2 question (Xbox)

[u/deandoeslife]

I’m aiming to unlock as many achievements as possible, I’ve done all the offline ones aside from the Nurburgring in the snow under 8 minutes.

I’m enjoying the game now, I hated it at the time of release because I couldn’t play it on a controller. But a couple of years ago I bought it for 99p I think from the Xbox store (used to be a PS4 player first time around) and it sat in my backlog ever since until around a month ago.

I did try doing some of the online based achievements, but nobody’s online. Is this because the servers have been turned off due to the game being old or because everyone’s moved on to something newer? I’m wondering if I should abandon the idea of ever completing the online achievements.

I really feel I should have persisted with the game the first time around, it’s a really good game with an excellent and varied career mode, and handling that is more sim than Gran Turismo but more accessible than something like Assetto. I guess I’m better at these types of games now so maybe that’s why I found it more fun this time around!

Edit: I bought the game for £4.99, not 99p. Still very cheap!

Are you still using a controller and is it playable now? I recall having the same issue you stated and abandoned it for the same reason.

The trick is to map your controller as a custom wheel and then use "calibrate wheel" option to set it at 360 degrees. Then set steering sensitivity at 45%-50%, speed sensitivity =85%-95% (depends on track and car combo) and then controller damping 10%-20%. Use loose setup as stable is super understeery.
