UDP streaming support

The UDP stream extension has been developed to allow 3rd party app developers the opportunity to receive telemetry data from the game. It is based mainly on the ‘Shared Memory API’ with a number of extensions to transmitted data.

The option is enabled via the ‘Game play’ menu ‘UDP mode’. This can be selected between off and 1-9. The number represents the UDP streaming data rate as follows:

• UDP off
• UDP 1 60/sec (16ms)
• UDP 2 50/sec (20ms)
• UDP 3 40/sec (25ms)
• UDP 4 30/sec (32ms)
• UDP 5 20/sec (50ms)
• UDP 6 15/sec (66ms)
• UDP 7 10/sec (100ms)
• UDP 8 05/sec (200ms)
• UDP 9 01/sec (1000ms)
• The stream is sent to a broadcast address (255.255.255.255) on port 5606.

Finally broke down and got a wheel for this one, and in doing so, increased the fun factor of this game 10 fold. This game may be my all time favorite racing game. The backend support sweetens the deal!

Thank you Simply Mad for an incredible experience!

I bought the Thrustmaster TS 150... Not too pricey, and good value for the money. I believe it is only PS4, PS3, and PC

I recently got the Logitech G29 (xbox version called G290), was quite overpriced at launch but recently has been on sale in the U.K. It makes a huge difference to a simulator like Project Cars, the amount of control and feedback transforms the experience. On less realistic games like Driveclub it will still increase the fun but isn’t as transformative as the game has less to communicate to the wheel, the factors to consider when purchasing are firstly the price (how many racing games do you play, what types and how much?), the space needed in your room and need for a stand or cockpit to house it and also the fact you will need to set it up in project cars as the default settings aren’t terrible but far from perfect. This can be quite frustrating at first as there are so many settings but once you get them close to right, it’s very rewarding. I went for it and have no regrets. My biggest tip would be if you get a wheel make sure it has Force Feedback, the cheaper ones don’t and tbh aside from the immersive wheel element aren’t much better than a good controller.

Is this game more like GT/Forza or more like Driveclub?

[SECElit3]

I would say neither. I would describe this game as violent and unforgiving. I'd liken it closer to the Shift series if anything. It absolutely is the closest simulation experience I've found in a racing game.
