2.05.xxx in my first try. I still don't feel the car (at all). And the FFB feels different from two weeks ago. I hope tomorrow I can put up a better lap.

When you say you don't feel the car, do you mean you don't like how the car feels, or you don't get any FFB? What wheel are you using?

No, no, I meant the Gumpert. It's a car I had barely touched up to this point. It feels a bit... erms... savage.

Besides, I don't know what's changed in the FFB, maybe it's that I used the ingame setup for the first time and now it feels a bit looser, I don't know. Then again, it's been two weeks since I last played the game and Bathurst is not an easy track.

I'm using a DFGT.

Mad_Ban · Apr 25, 2012

Just did a 1:59.566 with my 360 pad

Foliorum Viridum · Apr 26, 2012

Just improved my time to 2:02.xxx but that was in an hour long session. Pretty pathetic.

I've hit my skill wall. There's no way I'm squeezing more time out of this track. I bow to you boys.

Polyphony · Apr 26, 2012

Same here, I think I'm done as well. I tried markao's setup earlier, but it didn't suit my driving style. Tweaking the gear ratios proved to be beneficial though! My final time is 1:58.628

jet1911 · Apr 26, 2012

I can't even do a clean lap on this track!

Lucius86 · Apr 26, 2012

An easier car and track, yeah?

Also, my vid hit 1500 views, yet I had ads disabled by Google. Bah humbug.

markao · Apr 26, 2012

There are some nice short/national versions of main GP tracks, they are a lot shorter and that might be an idea for next week. Something like Badenring short/nat, Derby nat, Sakitto East/West, Connecticut Short, to name a few. And then add something silly that doesn't really fit there, like the Stockcar

Big Takeover · Apr 26, 2012

I turned a rough lap earlier in the week. A 2:01 or something. I'll put in a proper time later today.

You're only missing out on a few pence

+1 for an easer track/car combo, Formula B would be nice.

You should see a certain F1 gaffer who got £200 in a few months....

I was thinking Formula B too. Good shout.

He is not community manager, he is the owner.

Yep, he's the owner, and as pointed out that probably doesn't show the whole story there.

As far as I am aware, he's been polite and pretty quick to respond when I've PM'd him before, and with the number of posts he makes on the forum, I have to believe some of them aren't calling out people.

Metalmurphy · Apr 26, 2012

Put togheter a 2 part video showing off all the cars available with all the graphical settings maxed out and x8 AA. Game looks stunning.

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyIFy603Luc&hd=1
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzTr6UbPzh8&hd=1

(Was using a controller and driving while in those awful camera angles so ignore the driving and just appreciate the graphics

)

PjotrStroganov · Apr 26, 2012

Interesting how many games can't seem to nail the inital rev-up sound. It often sounds so autotune-like.

Didn't have that much time so the best clean lap I managed was a measly 2:04.878. Did manage to get in the 2:03's and 2:02's a couple of times, but I kept bumping into the walls and quit in frustration.

Mad_Ban · Apr 26, 2012

Derby aka Donington Park is so bumpy! Love the track though down craner curves, especially in the old F1 cars!

mclaren777 · Apr 26, 2012

I just found this survey on a sim racing forum. I think it's fairly old judging from the lack of responses and still calling it C.A.R.S., but I'm fascinated by the results.

Who would have guessed that so few people care about the console versions of pCARS?

This week it was chosen by Metalmurphy since he's been very active since the start!

Great to have so much competition this week. It was a bit dull doing these leaderboards/posts for the more quiet weeks, so let's keep this up!

I don't think I know this track either so it will be interesting yet again.

Dilly · Apr 27, 2012

Fauxlonso is going to do terrible this week.

Mad_Ban · Apr 27, 2012

First attempt is a 2:12.947. Got a screenie too as FV said there'd be a wipe soon? Will that invalidate the time?

Either way it'll fall quickly to many here.

markao · Apr 27, 2012

New build available, but from this week they are using the new patch system, so you do not have to download entire builds anymore. Make sure you have build 197 installed (team+), before patching.

GLORIOUS. Downloading 3gb+ every week is a pain.

The patch will grow each weak though, so once the size gets to big, they will release a new "standard build" and start updating that again with smaller patches.

I'm good with that.

I will play with the new build in my hungover state Sunday. Why pick another 2 minute track though!?! :-(

Foliorum Viridum · Apr 27, 2012

Man up.

Edit: That patch was smooth as hell. Good work, SMS!

Mad_Ban · Apr 27, 2012

Brno is good fun, especially in this car.

As usual, I was lazy all week and didn't play Bathurst. =( I don't know about the new track and car, but I shall blindly assume they're terrible and blame metalmurphy!

Also, hooray for patches, downloading took forever for full builds. If no one beats me to it I'll try to post the weekly patch notes tonight perhaps.

The Caterham is hella fun. I haven't tried it under the new conditions, but it's probably the most enjoyable I've had so far (but that's not saying a lot... I've really only tried 4-5 cars or so).
