WMD members should probably check Ian's post on the forums this morning... (Yellow banner at the top).

Just checked...

Agreed, but a few more road going models (heck many brscc cars are road legal and driven to events!), MX5, Fiesta, Mini, VW Golf etc etc, with racing liveries surely wouldn't go amiss?

I think we're covered with the Cilos, implementing more FWD's outside of BTCC or a larger organisation wouldn't be adding much.

I'd like MX5's though! A couple of low powered RWD cars would be awesome. :D

Can WMD members please stop posting cryptic hints, links that don't work for non-members, and OH-EM-GEEE CHECK THE FORUMS!!!11 prick teases? The wait is bad enough for us outsiders without these constant reminders that we're missing out on something..!

:p

I'm proud of my reply lol

(post #603 in case the link doesn't work properly)

Nice reply. :)

Great news!

Man, I'm really, really looking forward to finally playing this in a few weeks.

Although the timing isn't particularly great as we're moving into a new house in two days (and no, the wife won't let me get a proper rig and wheel yet), and the release is right when baby #2 is due.

Hopefully I'll get some time when the 19mo old is out of the house and the new one sleeping to sneak in some laps.

GT3 dad racing league anyone, after "bedtime", between bottles?

Shit, I picked a bad time to go for my refund! Can anyone fill me in via PM what the news is? I can see the banner, but can't click on it :(

I assume it's the "Major News Here" link?

Why'd you go for a refund so close to release?

A lot of people did to justify getting their money back and spending it on the PS4/XB1 version of the game. I nearly did the same before remembering about the benefits of receiving some of the profits.

Yeah I did the same, put the money towards Killing Floor 2 since I've already got a copy of Project CARS from a steam gift card. Someone PM the details or hopefully a blog will put up the info.

"Major" news hey........

DLC?

Anyone here drive PCars with a controller?, how is it?
More about the future of WMD platform, nothing surprising for me at least.

I've been playing the game with a pad for years and have had no problems recently. The default setting is pretty nice, but for more drifty feel I tend to change the mode. The vast customization options should make sure that you can get it to suit your tastes.

Cool thanks for that, I've just been hearing whispers that, on a pad, it doesn't drive very well.

But I take the opinion of those here more than the opinion of "others"

And STILL we don't know what the news is around WMD!

ANyway, good luck with your racing league, I could well be up for that.

Multiplayer locations limited to 15?

0:23 in that video eludes to there being limited tracks available in multiplayer, surely that's not right?
Nope, I can play all tracks in MP in the current build. It's probably just them not wanting to clutter that part since for example not all UK tracks might fit that image.

Ok, thanks, just saw the header in the video "Multiplayer tracks" and noticed they'd only highlighted half the tracks!.

It's admin, Hah!

I feel so stupid for not backing this. :(

That's a sentiment that is shared by many who missed out on initial investor timing window. Sucks, but access was limmited to a short period of time, and then they enabled similar short period of time for "account upgrades" if users wanted to upgrade to higher tier [I jumped then from 20€ Junior to 45€ Team Member [or is it Full Member?]].

Anyhow, I just finalized everything regarding my Paypal account [it arrived into my country recently, and withdrawal of payments got activated just few days ago]. Now, all I have to do is wait for the game to become multi million seller and get my share of pCARS proffitz. :D

Online - Project Cars Website

They've launched the Online section of the website along with a new Trailer - The World Is Yours

Is the person who does the pCARS music the same one who did the Gladiator Remixes (ie the menu music) for Shift 2? The horn arrangement and general production sounds similar, and equally awesome.

Lest we forget, two picks from the fantastic Shift 2 soundtrack:

Night of The Hunter - Gladiator Remix

We Owe This To Ourselves - Gladiator Remix

Mountains - Gladiator Remix

I don't know for sure but I agree that it definitly sounds very similar.

It's so weird to hear that music in official trailers when I've been hearing it in the main menu for years lol.


Edit: Oh man... Listening to the songs you linked... So many memories!

Oh man! Spine-tingling! The ST was one of the key reasons why this was such a great game . . . .

Yeah, rub it in with two long paragraphs why don't you. :p

Lesson learned, will never not back anything that has the potential to be something I will love dearly.

How would the backers rate the car and engine sounds? Especially in dashboard view?

I really don't remember it being a short period! I'm really curious to how much extra profits I will end up getting, since I "invested" €100.

YES!

Also, another excuse to re-post that video lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LJZYZGQ-DI

I always love that. Every time I see it I feel like flipping my desk over at work and going home to jump in my simrig.
Then I remember I need to get myself a new wheel :'(

This video always blows me away with the graphical fidelity. Kudos for the effort put into getting these to run so seamlessly side by side too, it must take a lot of time to put them together like that.

Some of the best. Sound has always been SMS' strong suit. Shift 2 and pCARS still scares me from time to time lol.

Agreed. There's layer upon layer of effects in the Shift games. The cars really communicate with you aurally. Shame so many of them didn't communicate physically.

Speaking of Shift, one fantastic effect was your cockpit getting illuminated from headlights behind. Is that present and correct in pCARS?

Pretty sure it still does...


Speaking of night races it reminded me of the Scion tC Time Attack car in Shift 2.

I can't find a night time video on youtube but just look at that exhaust going through the hood and imagine seeing those flames in your face at night... Fucking incredible.


It's not the right car but just look at that...man... that was some crazy stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIH8E7wdlTk
