What's the Handling Like on this on Controller
I played Project cars and found the handling Abysmal

Yea, that's what the game really needs. AI is very fast, but turn into generous track day drivers when battling them in close quarters.
It's also where things get very hard to do right. You need them to be aggressive, but not too aggressive, and also fair and competent enough to not ram into you and whatnot.
It's serviceable with AC. There's still a few cars that just dont work great with it though, just to warn you. I could certainly put in respectable laptimes using my X360 pad with most cars.
And yea, Project Cars with a controller is just a nightmare. I spent hours trying to get it to drive properly with a pad and nothing I did, nor any dozen of 'recommended' settings from others ever got it feeling remotely usable for competitive racing.

Blimey. Full steam ahead for AC! First Porsche now Ferrari and the RBR!

hi guys
as the steam sale is on im thinking of getting a racing game for pc. havent played one for years so im totally out of the loop.
it looks like the current best choices are either project cars or AC.
probably prefer playing single player, but i havent played a recent MP racing experience so im open to that aswell if its any good.
I dont own a wheel, i have an old xbox usb pc controller, so i will use that for now.
anyone any experience with either of these game using a controller rather than wheel?
thanks for any opinions!

There is the free2play Forza 6, so I'd try that first as it was specifically made for the controller. Then, if you catch the driving game bug and decide to get a wheel (DFGT can be had for about £50 second hand) - get AC. AC can be played with a controller as well, but you'd be missing like 70% of what makes it great. Not a fan of pCars personally, so I'd go for Forza and AC.
Vettel's Ferrari SF15-t from the upcoming RedPack DLC is looking sweet. Love the steering wheel modelling, this is certainly not Codemasters' F2010-15 effort

i havent got win10 on my gaming machine, im still win7 so i may look at forza apex when i finally upgrade.
I used to love racing games, back in the amiga days still miss playing geoff crammonds f1 game 
At the steam sale prices im just gonna buy AC i think. might even get pcars aswell for £11 just to see which i prefer.
if i buy AC, do you get the free upgrade to 1.7? and any release date for it?

MP works good, there's lobby with with server list, you can filter servers based on ping. There's also ratings based server http://www.minorating.com/Project , leagues etc...
I mostly play single player though as its quicker and I can always select the track/car combo that I want.

Just remember that although it is possible to get by with a pad, you're still going to be at a pretty big disadvantage to the majority of players using a wheel in MP.
You can usually tell who's using a pad by the way their car moves. If you then spectate from the pits, you can see the jerky movements of their in car wheel to confirm it.
I've also found the pad players to be an on track liability tbh. More often than not anyway.

I really want to like this game, there are so many rave reviews and now I am not sure if it is me as I really struggle with the handling? I use a G27 wheel and regularly play Raceroom, Automobilista and Race 07. However this game leaves me genuinely stumped. I just struggle with the handling, for example, I tried the RUF Yellowbird and whilst I know this car is insane, I just find it incomprehensible that the car wants to spin out at slow speeds such as 40mph?
With regards to the question concerning using a gamepad, I agree, you can get away with slower cars - try to be competitive and the gamepad will quickly show its limitations.

I feel the same and the only thing I can do to make the game enjoyable is by enabling stability control and ABS, as no matter what I try it's just to twitchy on pretty much every car.

The Yellowbird is for masochists anyway 
As for TC/ABS, there's no shame in using those aids to some degree - Especially if the car has those features IRL anyway.
As for cars generally feeling twitchy/having low grip etc.
It really depends on a lot of variables tbh. Track/air temp, track grip level, tyre choice (and whether they're cold or hot), car setup and of course, which car you happen to be driving.
And there's how you've set up your wheel, both in game and in the control panel for your wheel.

Watch this video is all I need to say
