Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[c172fccc]

I hope all these Instagram teasers are for DLC in next 1-3 months. I don't need teasers for 2016 content.

I would say that Bannochbrae and the Aston DBR1 are in the next DLC (this month). Pretty sure the Test Track won't come long after that (or maybe in the same pack?) I would say that Hockenheim Classic might come a bit later, maybe in November (with some Lotus?). I don't expect to see Indycars or Mad Mike's MX5 this year.

Edit: Looks like the Test Track is really coming this month: "This month’s DLC pack will seemingly introduce two brand new tracks as the new teaser screens show off a very scenic European road track and a sun-baked testing facility."

I have been at the real Nordschleife for the first time last weekend during the WEC event. We did 2 laps and the only place where I could spot significant differences was the Stefan-Bellof-S, which is almost flat ingame but a crest in reality. My chauffeur had driven the real track several times already and he thinks the same. Overall its a great job for a non-scanned track.

I was expecting a bit more of a noticeable rise and fall in some areas, but yeah I love it, just wish they connected the GP loop to it,

Unless your version was built special for you and I got the reject version, nothing has changed, I am on 3.0 patch and it has not been corrected. The stuttering, choppiness, stammering and sound drop outs are still there.

As well as screen tearing (seems much worse than before the 3.0 update), pop up and noticeable texture loading on both the cars and the scenery.
If the day ever comes that SMS fix the replays, I will, as John McClane of Die Hard fame says, dance a jig.

I just had my most successful run of consecutive public lobby victories in PCars. All damage, failures and penalties on full. Delighted with it and never thought I would match my previous record of 5 let alone beat it.

1/ Audi R18 TDI at Spa-Francorchamps
2/ Alpine A450 at Ruapuna GP
3/ BAC Mono at Catalunya GP
4/ Sauber C9 at Circuit de La Sarthe
5/ Super Kart at Donington GP
6/ Super Kart at Azure Circuit
7/ Super Kart at Brno.

I would have attempted more but had to quit as I need sleep.

Zzz...

I will join you in that dance my friend!!!

The Aston Martin Vantage V8 GTE looks great! I wonder if the Gulf art livery from that year is included? Even the standard Gulf livery is gorgeous on that car.

Next car to be teased is the DBR1-2 2009. Cannot wait to get my paws on the Astons. Beautiful vintage DBR1, epic GTE and the incredible screaming LMP1 DBR1-2. What's not to like?!

 

[TheElbows]

I'm more excited about the Focus..merely because it was not originally mentioned with the Ford list of cars if I remember correctly (though perhaps having a RWD version is easy since they're going to do the BTCC car --- a lot of crossover?)

Toyota is...and I'd guess Mazda is (of sorts) since they're doing that 1000 hp. Miata.

 

[catamount39]

Watch they give us the Mazda6 GX Grand-Am car. With realistic engine blowing up after 2 laps. xD

This is the vehicle in full view:

FYI, this is an Australian creation. Would be a tonne of fun to drive in Project Cars!

 

[catamount39]

It's depressing the concept of having a series with those things didn't play out real life...

My god that car looks incredible. Really looking forward to this Aston Martin DLC. I know for sure that I'm going to be putting a lot on miles on that Aston GTE.

I think we'll have to call an ambulance once this DLC comes out .

Yea!! lol He needs a defibrillator on stand by. And someone qualified to use it. Always look forward to your post catamount39. Get a good laugh every time i read them. Hang in there Buddy!!! 👍

 

[Elitekilla29]

So quick question, I won the formula Gulf championship 2 years in a row and haven't received a contract. And then I realize that I can look back on my previous contracts I got in the past. And I see that you can accept them. My question is will anything happen if accept them? Or it's ok to do it because I'm about to accept this WEC contract I got from the past but decline at that time.
