Automatic Downloader/Updater for Project CARS 2

If you have purchased into the Project CARS 2 development, as I have, then you will know that in its infancy the game can be rather annoying to keep updated! Every build must be downloaded individually, with periodic clean installs required. It can be a hassle to keep up with what version you have, what version you need, and the correct path to get there. Not anymore!

Of course SMS will be making their own streamlined process for updates, and then later on the game will be updated through Steam, but what about the here and now? Check out the Project CARS 2 ATDIU (Automatic Torrent Downloader, Installer and Updater)!

Project CARS ATDIU was developed by Teemu Kosinen and Thomas Taschler from sga-gaming.com. I've been using it for weeks now, and it's been fantastic. A must have for any pCARS2 tester until a more official solution is released.

Project CARS - Setting up X360 Controller w/ Stock Calibration and Driving!


There has been a lot of talk saying Project CARS is complete rubbish with a controller. I've even had some people accuse me of driving with a wheel in video's I'd said I'm driving with my X360 controller. In this video I clearly, and definitively prove that Project CARS works absolutely fine with a controller and no assists. I start the video by setting up the buttons on the controller, showing I did not change any of the calibrations, and then showing that the game is set to realistic damage and driving physics.

I then take three laps around Watkins Glen GP in the E30 M3, a car with no electrical assists. After the race, I exit back out, and show you again the controller that I use, and the realism settings, to leave no shadow of a doubt that this, and other video's on my channel were clearly using the X360 controller. It's a harsh reality, but inability to drive a car in game with a controller boils down to either lack of skill, or a worn out controller. In the case of the latter, you can use deadzones to greatly improve your drive. For the former, just practice smooth application of the throttle and brakes.
