Project CARS General Discussion Thread

Yeah, but the specifics...how, on which platform, what to to do aquire setups...that is all unknown yet.

I only care about the PC version, the console plebes are on their own, but I hope it comes to console as well

It's another website, not accuweather, but openweathermap.org.

Thanks for the info... 👍

This is only a PC feature correct?

I was under the impression that it's on all systems, but I'm not sure.

The intention was to put it on all systems, but Sony and Microsoft for a little bit uppity about the game accessing external websites, so it had to be removed. You could still access the website and program it in yourself, there are six weather slots available.

Really? Can you point me to the source at WMD?

That means no accurate constellation mapping of the night sky unless you're PD.

 

[blowfishrulez]

Not true, sky/star constellation is soely dependent on the date and time. Wich you will be able to set freely ofc.

 

[Termite111]

So is real weather a feature or not on consoles. Confused?!

 

[blowfishrulez]

I don't know where @DG_Silva pulled that from. All previews of the PS4 version i saw explicitly spoke about real weather. Star/Sky constellations have nothing to do with the weather anyways.

http://forum.wmdportal.com/showthre...Weather-System&p=107187&viewfull=1#post107187. Unless something has changed since then, I always thought it was the case. However, if it is in the console versions, I'll be more than happy! Remember that the Madness Engine produces the same version of the game on all platforms at once, so it could be something they remove from the UI. I also seem to remember a comment (can't find it at the moment) about how MS are a little more lax about access to external sources than Sony (although I think it may have been more about liveries, I'll try to find it).

That means no accurate constellation mapping of the night sky unless you're PD.

The sky map will be 100% accurate (collisions of distant planets caused by Mother Russia launching a nuke notwithstanding) for the next 200 years, I think. This will apply to all versions, as it's built into the simulation engine, not the weather system.

 

[blowfishrulez]

Well, the post is from 2012 and didn't exactly say it not possible, just that they were not sure back then. I'll try and find something more confirmative on that matter.

 

[Termite111]

so it's not in then? Shame but sounds like it isn't sms fault

Thank you. For the league guys, it's not impossible to set the race up to make it realistic weather.

I'm disappointed they aren't supporting the game past 2215:tdown:

I probably shouldn't say this but were planning dlcs that amends this. With its own season pass.
It's going to be quite expensive though. As making a time machine out of a delorian isn't cheap.

Thanks blowfishrulez! If the case its a bit disappointing on Sony's part.

Slow down people last time it was a 3 page stint of people trying to find out if there was a d**** or not.

Also, on weather, yes I know there is no snow yet, but if i can set the date will it get really cold if i set the date to winter?

The time of year I believe does affect temperture.
