    I'm terrible at console. What are the best commands can a noob like me use?

    as for boredom..I used to use my logitech wheel for rally with a sunburst but it was almost harder than Richard Burns rally in some aspects and the FFB for me is not that great.

    Beam's console does not take commands like a CLI does. It is a scripting environment. If you know Lua at all, you can have a lot of fun with powertrain code. Getting started with it is not particularly hard.

    I tend to do 3 hours around Le Mans in a Formula A (Formula 1) car in Project Cars 2, so 440 miles in 3 hours I love pushing myself to the limit generally 3 hours 30 minutes is my limit, I am trying for 6 hours

    Sorry I didn't mean to sound passive aggressive, I think its super cool how it's a fan game that lives up to the hype of theoretical HL3. Funny how they're called crowbar too

    We're all driven by all sorts of interests, both in-game and off-game. So I'd share some things that I do.

    In Beam.NG:
    Tracktime; different racecars, different setups, different tracks.
    Rallying in cars well-suited and ill-suited for the terrain.
    Experiment with driving styles and manouverability tactics.
    Teaching my better half to drive cars (or rather, learn basic driving).

    Off Beam.NG:
    Fail horribly well in Dirt Rally 2.0.
    Play GTA Online and collect money to fulfill my carguy dreams of owning all the cars that I like.
    Play games on emulators (ePSXe and PCSX2).
    Watch random YouTube videos.
    Not letting the existential dread set it.
    Click for cookies in Cookie Clicker.
    Post on the forum here or on that one GTplanet forum where a really cool guy is making a really cool mod to add bugfixes and other visual stuff to Gran Turismo 2.

    Hopefully this gives you some sort of guidance.

    I wonder if they stopped the GT40 from being so OP in that game, the AI would run circles around you

    The mod is called "Gran Turismo 2 plus" by Pez2k. Google it and have a look at it yourself.
