The ai is ruthless i've been taken out 4 times in the last 5 races. It could be karma though, from all the other games where i've bullied the ai. But heres a full grid

What a beautiful sight.

It has reminded me of a question I had regarding elevation changes. How well implemented are they in terms of feel of the car. In GT6 I don't really notice any difference going uphill or downhill whereas in real life there is a distinct difference in weight forward/understeer when going downhill and steering lightness going uphill.

You can feel the weight transfer.
Also on bumpy sections the revs may pick up due less grip it happens at oulton park coming out of a few of the corners.
Is there any thing you would like a video or pics of?

You can feel the weight transfer.

Can you feel it when accelerating & engine braking/braking? What I mean is; does the wheel go progressively lighter when accelerating hard from a standstill. & does it get progressively heavier under throttle off/braking & turn in?

GT doesn't replicate this, & it annoys me!

I'm hoping the platinum trophy is going to be easy in this game. Knowing my luck I'm sure there is going to be a timed trophy and a 24 hour race trophy.

 

[FLX1981]

Trophies were designed in cooperation with the community. So no to the former, hell yeah to the latter. Sorry if you dont like it, we others do.

I'm still going to get the plat on this game no matter what it takes just wished it would be easy . Like I'm getting platinum on GAS working on the lvl 250 trophy but then the platinum is mine. Looking forward to seeing the trophy list.

hell yea, bring on the 24h racing

i cant wait for this, however knowing my luck ill drive a perfect race until the last 20mins of the 24h, then i will end up face planting my car straight into a wall or something major crazy and have to retire from the race lol

 

[paulpg87]

hope there aren't online trophies, i hate when i'm forced to play online. I'won't even subscribe psn plus. However just minor stuffs, i don't really care about trophies.

I hope/think they are not that rude and let you save the game (on every Pit stop I guess/hope) so you can reload if that happens

 

[Wolfman2216]

I'm thinking of doing the 24 Hours of Le Mans in December with two friends in LMP2 ... any tips?

Get more people to do it with you to add to the fun

I could do that but I want to make it like the real life, in other words only with 3 pilots

Just a general question, does anyone know if there are sector split times like in GT? I'm hoping so, I don't want the sector splits like in FM where it just shows how far ahead/behind you are from your best lap without giving you the actual time split : /

yes there is but thats on a window.
In the cars some displays will display a delta time.

This is well done in pCARS as you can see your sector times live and compare and there is delta to your current fastest lap or even to world fastest or session. Also on the online leaderboard, you can see everyones sector times, not sure how it is going to be in final version but quite good as it is at the moment.

I find the delta very useful. You can instantly tell whether that perfect line you made through a given corner was faster and by how much by measuring the gap to the next corner. It's also a great motivator when hotlapping

 

[Organ-Donor]

Hey I haven't been around in a while and don't really want to dig through pages, has there been a final confirmation on grid car count for online and single player for consoles? Thanks.

 

[DG_Silva]

Not yet. Should come in the next few weeks when the game goes gold.

Do you think that when the game enters in the Gold stage new information will be released?

 

[DG_Silva]

Do you think that when the game enters in the Gold stage new information will be released?

It might get fed in drips, but the majority of the information will either be new features, or confirmed information (such as the number of AI cars, driver ratings, etc.) when the game goes gold.

Are you aware of any developments by the dev team that they've kept to themselves? In other words as far as you know, have the members been privy to all the content and features?

 

[Timppaq]

Sometimes they need to keep stuff hidden for nda's and stuff, but that's to do mainly with the licensing being complicated process.

But you never know..

I just hope they have revealed only part of the licenses ... I think that some important brands are missing, like: Ferrari (the "Stig" has said they were working on the 458), Nissan (which apparently is already confirmed), Chevrolet , Toyota, VW, Citroen, Holden...

As Timppaq said, the NDAs mainy refer to sensitive stuff, such as SDKs, licenses and so on. But there may be things that they have kept to themselves, either because it's unconfirmed, not working properly, or they want to surprise us.

 

[FLX1981]

There is also some secret information for higher toolpack members only, but except for Dr. Justice all the other fellow WMD members here are part of the WMD proletariat, so they wouldnt know... *tips hat towards Dr. Justice, laughs evil laughter*

I see. The gentlemans club is at it again.
Ben Collins' Power Unlimited interview already hinted towards the F-word. Than there is also still Stelvio Pass that was once promised. SNOW?! Oh, and don't forget Ben's request, Macau. Or maybe something related to the launch party with the gentlemans club? Who knows what the secret is... it could be anything.

 

[DrJustice]

Don't forget Timppaq!

But yeah.... Muahahaha! <does the secret handshake>

(sorry folks... all will be revealed, hopefully even to us insufferable SOBs... )
