Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[Simfan David]

Have you guys seen the ps4 direct capture that Playstation Access did on YouTube yet. Looking pretty good. I was impressed. Of course not as good as on a hi end PC that's to be expected. Still I was impressed.

 

[Myles Prower]

Any word on the future availability of cars in the Modified car pack and Limited Edition pack?

Now I can start posting videos about it on here without feeling like a total 🤬

 

[Myles Prower]

So is the BMW M3 GT2 going to go against the GTE Aston?

 

[TheMinority]

Any word on localized weather? Like that of CM's F1 games? It will be a disappointment in my book if its not in there, as if the Nordichliefe all starts getting pored on at once haha

Yes and all the GT3 cars, a big GT jamboree.

IIRC, can't make initial release of pcars 1 (not sure if can be added later), but it has been talked and the devs are eager to include it, as you say, ASAP (which doesn't mean 'now' btw (it's often misread like that))

No specifics yet. I have a feeling there won't be any official announcements about that before release.

I can only remind you all that pretty strong hints were dropped, saying that they will become available for everybody eventually. I fully expect them to, as 'everybody', including the devs themselves, aren't happy about exclusive content, and it would be contrary to two parts of the mission statement which asserts that it's not a release-and-forget game and that all content is to be immediately available to everyone(*); it will be followed up with new content and features.



(*) Except these LE/pre-order (presumably) timed exclusives which were a 'necessary' part of the marketing and distribution deal. Also adding that this posting is not an encouragement to repeat the LE/pre-order exclusives discussion...

So when will those official trailers that will hopefully get "1,000,000+ views" come out?

What do you mean by localized weather? I was hoping we can get the actual real weather on the real track in the game (if you mean that). Technically I think it should be no problem for the game because they got almost every weather situation (except snow).

But of course it should allowed to be disabled because if not, we only can race in rain here in Germany

I mean like rain on different parts of the track. Say you're racing at LeMans, by localized weather I mean how it would rain in the Porsche curves and ford chicane section, but it would be dry down the mulsane. Instead of the whole track just randomly getting poured on with water

 

[Timppaq]

^ and that's what I was responding to as well.

Ok, so I guess we will have real time weather in the game then?

 

[HEF51]

Yes real time weather has been confirmed along with historical data for weather in the past.

 

[Myles Prower]

Yes and all the GT3 cars, a big GT jamboree.

So there won't be a GT2 category for example with the BMW M3 and Aston GTE? Whats the point of having the Aston GTE go against the GT3 car?

 

[Timppaq]

yes.

edit, ..öö to be a bit clearer, I missuderstood so ignore

 

[HEF51]

Which Aston is the GTE, I only see two GT4's and one GT3

 

[Myles Prower]

Licensed Aston Martins in Project CARS:

• 1959 Aston Martin DBR1
• 1963 Aston Martin DP212
• 2009 Aston Martin DBR1-2
• 2012 Aston Martin Vantage GT4
• 2013 Aston Martin Vantage V12 GT3
• 2013 Aston Martin Vantage GTE
• 2013 Aston Martin Hybrid Hydrogen Rapide S

 

[Wolfe]

I was "meh" on Aston Martin, but the '59 DBR1 is a cool addition. 👍

 

[HEF51]

Got it, I just wasn't sure cause I havnt seen them in game yet.

 

[Mac K]

Vantage GT4 👍

Because the GTE and GT3 aren't that similar to begin with, and no there won't be a GTE/GT2/GTLM class to my knowledge. I keyboard battled (overstatement) for it months ago on the forums.

 

[fortbo]

Will the Aston GT3 or GTE have any official liveries? Will any other cars have any also?

 

[DrJustice]

^ Yes, there will be official liveries. Some other cars will also come with official (or real life) liveries. We have no complete overview over this yet.

 

[RIKY-WRC]

I keep thinking that not bringing a livery editor are very bad news... For the people as me that will purchase for the PS4/One versions, create your own livery, the livery of the real racing team you love... would be amazing..

At least, we're going to see official liveries as @DrJustice says.. Will we be able to change the dorsal?

Some cars will have at least 20 liveries both licensed official and community made. There will be no livery editing software in the launch version but the PC will allow importing of Photoshop designed liveries.

 

[omnibusse]

It would be fanastic to import those liveries on the consoles, too (e.g. via USB-stick)
