Interesting feedback from racing Youtuber Empty Box

Video showing in detail the new Ginetta G40 Junior (WIP), that has been added in the build 663. The video also includes a lap at the new Oulton Park circuit, which has just been exported to the game and is still in the first phase of construction.

Whats up with the ride height being set so high?

Is Oulton Park one of the laser scanned ones? I remember 4 or 5 circuits from the UK were going to be laser scanned.

Yes. Along with Brands, Cadwell and Snetterton.

The G40 ride height ist not properly set yet, the car uses placeholder physics since its the very first export. From the build notes:

- Ginetta G40 Junior: No placeholder LODs yet, Ride height is too high (issue of the placeholder physics)

 

[Myles Prower]

Also needs the sequential transmission whine

 

[cunny17]

Yes. Along with Brands, Cadwell and Snetterton.

I'm already up for this game, maybe even buy a pc to play it on but Knockhill really would be the icing on the cake

I noticed that the first official trailer was out. Anyone got any footage from xbox one? I will probably be getting my copy for Xbone. Will have to compete with forza 5 in my tray though.

 

[2clicks]

Yes. Along with Brands, Cadwell and Snetterton.

Did SMS acquire the licenses for all the tracks included? or just the tracks in the UK?

Even though its referred as official it's still 'just' a community trailer by JonZ. An amazing one though may I add

No footage of console versions is available.

Short movie of the now removed X11 made for a cancelled project.

 

[Myles Prower]

What about the DTM Audi?

 

[mister dog]

Question; is it me or do the headlights of your own car not work in PCARS? Seeing this night racing video it seemed the guy was driving around without it, or maybe SMS did not implement headlights yet? :

 

[FuzzyFassbender]

They work but need to be brighter, especially lighting the track surface.

Are they aware of it? Hope this get's corrected.

 

[FuzzyFassbender]

Yes, they are aware of it, still a WIP.

I have been VERY impressed with the pCARS progress lately. I have to admit, was getting inpatient/tired of the one-step-back, one-step-forward development but lately it has been one-step-backward, five-steps-forward! Graphics, sound, features, performance, physics, assets, it's all coming together! It also feels like I have popped in a new graphics card - running very smooth for the most part. In my opinion, this one sim on track to impress. There will be those with preference to a particular sim and will not give credit where credit is due (or coming soon!). Still some inconsistencies but I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Oh my days. That last photo.

God help me, I love bog standard racers.

Group A touring cars = Day one purchase for me.

 

[drvac]

some more of the sierra (and others)

 

[JvM]

Own subforum now for pcars? Cool.

 

[Azure Flare]

That P30-6 would look spectacular screaming down the Mulsanne straight.

 

[LogiForce]

Own subforum now for pcars? Cool.

About time. We were all secretly longing for one for a while now, I'm sure. lol

Thanks GTPlanet.

 

[ildd]

Their rain system blows my mind compared to every other video game rain. That's incredible...

 

[LeMansAid]

I suppose with visuals this advanced, we start to notice things like the fact that there are impossible reflections. As in, the panels that show trees that would have been blocked by other panels. But of course it's more down to the lack of the car's reflection on itself.

I love bog standard racers.

I had to laugh when I saw the pic that happened to end up directly beneath your comment. The word antithesis comes to mind.

Congratulations on the subforum PCARS.

Group A touring cars = Day one purchase for me.

Group A touring cars + BMW M1 Procar + rain and night racing + some roadcars including the McLaren F1 + at least a couple open roads + available on Wii U + possibility of rally content/expansion/spinoff = I can't wait for "day one"!

Speaking of the cars, does anyone have an answer for the question I asked a couple weeks ago?

Are all of the cars that are already listed (such as those under "Work in Progress" in the OP) as close to "confirmed" as can be, given the state of things? Or do they only expect to finish "most" of the list?

Thank you to those with inside access for the info you've been giving us. 👍

 

[FLX1981]

If they are listed as work in progress, then you can be sure that they will be in the release game. Dont think they will hold back any finished content, also I dont think the members would be cool with that.

Oh yeah and hooray for the own subforum!
