Project CARS General Discussion Thread

and off course the T300 GTE broke down 2 weeks before the release... classic after 4 months of perfect usage.. (random button presses while playing.. it goes into photmode in driveclub)
Now i have to go with Amazon for the substitution (thanks god 2 yrs warranty)
Bad luck, i won't have it by the release date of PROJECT CARS.

Fixed it for you.

I saw in a VVV video that in the chase cam there was a race like speedo like on a real race car and am wondering if it changes based on what car you drive?

I'd have to check to be 100% sure, but if I recall correctly it does that for any car equipped with a Motec display.

Does anyone know if SMS is planning to add blue flags to the AI?

I recall that they won't be due the way the AI works. Making them react to blue flags would make them too irratic and cause more issues than if they just stuck to the their race line

So most race cars then. I presume it switches to the minimalistic display I have seen in cockpit view in videos for roadcars/non motec cars then?

well that sucks. I'm still worried mine will fail on me before May but I've gotta stay strong!

Thanks for that! it is more about fighting for position that worries me a bit, keeping the same line is fine.... well I guess I will have to bump up the AI difficulty level so I cannot overlap them lol

Reboot everything and try again, I had that happen on the very first day, never again since.

 

[Iron Monk]

How do the invitational events work? Are they random or do you need to complete set achievements to activate that event? Just wondering as I'd seen someone invited to drive an LMP1 car in the Le Mans 24 hour very early in his career and I though this would have been an event held back until you had made it to the higher tiers

sorry if off topic just a last question, how i reboot it?
However i'm so sad.. damn it presses option on the "manettino" and r3 togheter everytime. Is started on saturday out of nowhere. I already found on you tube a video of a gtplanet users having the same problem with the same buttons in driveclub.

Usually there is a certain requirement, could be based on the number of races you completed or winning, or something else I dunno about.

I was hoping the gauges would be stylized after each car individually, like in Shift 2 Unleashed, but I already noticed that they don't seem to be. Oh well.

I loved that feature, wish more games had it.

Can we get a look at them?

Well, not SMS, but a WMD member. =)

What are said build notes? Or is this a WMD only thing.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

They're a few pages back I believe.

 

[JR98]

They're a few pages back I believe.

Oh, I think I already read them then.

Then I haven't seen them. Just the ones posted by someone here a few days ago (I forget who).

I like the new "dinner please" feature but as for buying tyres I'll stick to GT Auto, my comfort softs need replaced anyway...

They seem to have made the BMW's far more realistic in this build!

Besides the great sense of humour shown here, this may also mean that SMS have a few surprises for the WMD members, which would be an absolutely awesome way to say a big thank you for all their priceless involvement into the game.
