Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[RACECAR]

made a livery today, thought some people here might like it

Pretty cool. Did a similar one myself earlier this year:

BMW VMR V12 ! ! ! for now, until maybe we get an Audi R10

But we already have a diesel, I'd like an R8 better...

I feel funny inside...

Graphics in this game really are fantastic, looking forward to fridays build, I hope the FFB issues I was having with it have been fixed.

They really are! If FFB and physics can match them on the final product this game will be the new standard on the industry!

Maybe, maybe not. I would say judging by replay videos that Corsa has this one beat, but I'll wait and judge for myself when or if I ever get a PC.

nice vid 👍

I'll be honest, right now it does. But keep in mind AC's dev is way ahead of where P-C.A.R.S is at the moment. I had a go this past weekend on AC and I can say that from what I saw that game is very near completion while this one still has a long ways to go in developement.

As impressive as the graphics are, I hope they improve them even more. It may be the best looking racing game today, but (I might get flamed for this) I still feel like there's something missing. Most screenshots and videos I've seen look jaw-dropping but it doesn't really make me think "wow, that looks real". I don't know how to explain it really, it might be just me.

From the technical side they already have the better resolution, poly counts, textures, reflections... I know it's still a work in progress, but I hope they try to make the graphics as realistic as possible by the time of release.

 

[Samus]

I'm not going to flame because you're entitled to your opinion but except some more work on the daytime lighting I'm not sure how much better they can get.

This and some work on the shadows, they are too sharp.

Do not forget the sounds! They need a lot of work.

 

[Jav]

Yes! Those too!

 

[Dude27]

Sounds is where I want pCARS to shine (graphically, it is already the most advanced realistic graphic ever), ATM Raceroom 2 from SIMBIN is taking a serious lead... more like a LEAP in fact! these trackside sounds during replay are just to die for!

 

[Samus]

Do not forget the sounds! They need a lot of work.

They know that though, most of the current sounds are described as placeholder.

The Z4 GT3 is going to be in the next build

Hope so! Are you telling us or just wishing for it like me?

Check todays build changelog and the latest comments of the devs.

Z4 and M1 incoming for sure.

 

[RACECAR]

Awaiting those templates 👍

Speaking of which,

I got to ask Terrific 12 about mah cars.

 

[tikm]

So I downloaded build 296 and it has the m1 and z4 in the car list but it won't let me select them? Why must they tease me like this?

On another note the new ui is a whole lot better

 

[Samus]

I can only answer BMW's access question - there's a bug in the build, restricting BMWs to [senior] managers+
This will be addressed asap, sorry about the inconvenience

Dev post.

I'll have 'em for you. I haven't forgotten.

 

[tikm]

Thanks Simon

Dev post.

Hope the guys can solve it over night. I can not wait.

Has anyone played the new build yet regardless?
I did and I loved the new FFB settings. The caterham seven that I love to drive about just feels like it should now. Since there is no power steering its hard to turn the wheels stationary, but even a minimal roll like in real life and you can turn them. Even at speed it feels proper now. 👍

Sweet! Hopefully they'll handle well enough to keep me laping the Ring for a while, wich BTW is looking amazing!

Indeed it does. I also love going around Monterey (notLaguna Seca). Actually, I think pCARS is full with awesome tracks. Can't wait to try Felix his historic track. What was it? The old German GP track. God, I am terrible with names. In any case it will be an interesting track as well.

Solitude Rennstrecke?

 

[DG_Silva]

I've tried out Solitude Rennstrecke on rFactor, it is a fantastic circuit. You're going to need a loooong final gear ratio for the back straight before you get the village. From the village to the start/finish line it gets quite narrow with a constant left-right-left-right-etc. (definitely not for the sea sick), so it's going to be difficult to overtake there.
