Project CARS General Discussion Thread

Not sure if posted yet but:

2 Things:

- Number 2 should be obvious

- Ben Collins was not the very first stig.

But good video nonetheless

 

[Yeratel84]

Ben Collins was not the first version of The Stig. Just saying...

He was the first white Stig though (unless I'm mistaken)

 

[Myles Prower]

Perry McCarthy was Stig #1

 

[catamount39]

Perry McCarthy was Stig #1

That was the one that drove off the aircraft carrier right?

It was Perry Mccarthy the first Stig!

Now the waiting begins. Had to sell a few things to make it happen what with having a busy May but something tells me the games bought in May are gonna last me a helluva long time.

How do pit stops currently work? I know the player doesn't control the car during the pit stop but is it a selection process similar to GT?

When entering pit lane does the player need to slow down or can the player run wide open throttle and the game automatically slows the car to avoid a speeding in pit lane penalty?

 

[HEF51]

You can just dive on into the pit lane. AI will slow it down.

 

[DG_Silva]

There will be a patch coming later that will allow manual pit driving. As usual, not sure when, but it was a feature most of the community wanted.

Manual as in you have to slow down to enter pits or as in you drive all the way to the box?

The latter.

Holy 🤬 ! This...this is a very nice thing! 👍 👍

Can you expand on this a bit please? The concern is about the way that AI slowdown is handled. What happens if you're driving into the pits at full throttle, well over the pit lane speed limit? Does the car suddenly slow to the limit when the AI takes over, with no penalty or ill effect to the player (think of the TOCA race driver games, if you've played them). Or does running full steam into the pits result in speeding penalties, potential for the pit box to be missed, or even the possibility of a crash?

 

[WarriusZero]

I believe the point is to have it completely manual so speeding penalties and crashes would be possibilities.

But I guess they'd have fun with the pit crews animations...

 

[PRO_TOO]

manually slowing down would be nice as slowing down by AI from like 120 mph to pit speed in a sec would look akward, IMO.

Not sure if this has been asked,but is their reverse grids in career mode? They were one of the things i enjoyed the most in Grid Autosport...seeing the best teams starting at the back and battling their way through.

Also,can you customise the HUD so it shows more than one AI driver name in front and behind you on the display?

Planning to develop Project CARS 2 already?

MASSIVE BIG MASTER NEWS:
Stay well to listen to our future because we will inform you of the opportunity to be part of WMD to participate in the creation, development of the next AAA game Slightly Mad Studios.

The system will be a crowdfunding as it exists on other platforms with ingame bonus according to your toolpacks. Maximum amount of toolpacks (about £ 100 Max).
Space will be limited because you can participate in funding for 2-3 months. After registration will be closed.
Stay tuned, we will reply soon to tell you where this is going, if you are interested in living a sacred adventure with a great community for + or - 3 years.

Dont reverse grids happen in Touring Cars in real life though?

Well since you are a member, you can read the yellow banner -> http://forum.wmdportal.com/showthread.php?21611-We-Did-It!&p=874423&viewfull=1#post874423

I actually found it on the internet while searching for some stuff.

In the BTCC, the top 10 cars are eligible for a reverse grid. I think they pick a random number between 5 & 10, & those positions are reversed. For instance; if number 7 is picked, then the top 7 finishers from the previous race are reversed.

Well, they're a game developing company. Of course they're planning ahead. Not surprising at all IMO.

That's why I asked where you got this from

I did of course read what the Wookie said already

Yes but they haven't released the game yet, they haven't completed the DLC's yet, they haven't finished the development of the Wii U and SteamWorks version. IMO it's still early but of course they can plan ahead.

That there is a plan does not mean they are already on build 150 of pcars2. To plan ahead is business as usual. And the planning does not stop the physics/modeling guys from finishing dlc's/Wii U Version

 

[Punknoodle]

Well I will definitely be on board for the next one - I really dig the idea of doing my bit to help the development of a sim like this.

Do you get a penalty for entering the pit lane too fast?
