New 2018 Indycar

Obviously not going to be in the game, (at least not straight away) as we've got the older version....

Pretty sure he means F1 needs to improve the look of their cars as well. I think he's right too.

They are, with this monstrosity..

Maybe @IanBell could implement this into their Formula A cars.
That would make some people really happy..

I'd have to play cruisin' USA on N64 to play anything uglier

I used to think this was the ugliest car in F1 history but even the general lines of this car are pleasing, it's the stupidity at the front which makes it ugly:

 

[DesertPenguin09]

The arrow on his helmet pointing everyone to look at that monstrosity doesn't help either

Fixed horizon.

Is there a Ginetta GT4 Supercup series (or something similar) in the game? Perhaps as a part of the maufacturer career stuff which hasn't been revealed in great detail as of yet

Good idea. Was thinking this a few times. Although I think it would have replaced the Cayman GT4.

 

[05XR8]

Ginetta is a big part of PCars in eSports. I saw the G40 as a one make in Career. Maybe there is for the G55 GT4.

That would have been shown in the career tree though like the Cayman and Super Trofeo.

 

[TheoSkullz12]

They did say they were saving some things from the community sp maybe we wait and see.

What Theo Huxtable said.

What Theo Huxtable said.

True. So there's that optimism.

Q about VR:

What improvements/enhancements have been made to the VR experience compared to pCARS?

 

[TheoSkullz12]

Has there been any undercover updates on pc1. Idk ever since i started playing again in May the game felt completely different as if they were getting us ready for PC2 by trying implement some of the new features into the system like tyres weather, i even thought the rain was better on the effect it had on tyres.

I'm a non VR guy so please take my info with a (huge) grain of salt but this is what I've seen/read during development:

• Better performance
• Supersampling
  
• Improved helmet overlay
• Positional audio

Please note: All of this is WIP and subject to change.

 

[Masscot]

Thank you sir.

I doubt it.

It's worth noting that positional audio is not limited just to VR

I thought pCARS 1 supported positional audio, or was it not really working right? Maybe I'm wrong though, but somehow I thought 5.1+ systems were supported.

Can't remember if the first one did or not, but 2 has binaural sound as well as 5.1 - so positional audio using normal stereo headphones.

Positional audio in VR would adjust the sound placement via the speakers as you move your head. So a sound coming from the front would need to come from the left if you turn your head 90 degrees to the right.

The mirror's view also change in VR depending where you have you're HMD. Visibility improved
