pCARS 1 is already really good with this. I don't think it's going to get much better than that for a while.

Dragon before and after....Some things added, some things removed, the whole Monacoesque portion see's the most change. The background mountains is different also but very hard to get a clear picture on this small vid. Also, us EU knuckle grinders are yet to have Dragon pop up in the race line up...

I'm in Germany and have raced on Dragon tail several days already, and in different classes.
I meant since the update.

Oh, I see.
It's so much better.
Eh I don't think Project Cars looks right tbh. I think the trickiest thing to simulate is the rolling and flipping around, high speed crashes would send your car rolling and flipping many times over.
In games like this your car seems to want be right-side up and sticking to the ground at all times. As soon as your wheels leave the ground the physics get weird.
Not a huge complain but it is immersion breaking, i guess there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future of realistic racing games.
Dirt Rally is probably the best from what I know of.

Perhaps flipping your car over multiple times in cockpit view would drop framerates on everything but the fatest machines into single digits. Or maybe it's just very hard to get right, and they employ the dev time in other things that are of higher priority.

Awesome that the races are 24/7 now. I stopped playing because the time change they did prior to EU launch didn't work with my schedule at all, and hot lapping is boring as fuck. Curious to see how the aero changes feel. I also hope that means BoP has been adjusted and we have moved beyond the Evo/GTR meta.

Crashes will be more fun now.
Realistic.....never. Looking realistic consistently, hopefully this or next gen. Like you say, its just not a big focus.

Final release do we have an updated number of cars and tracks now since the delay?

Racing on the Northern Isle oval is just AWFUL. Just did a race there, and the idiots I got put up against didn't even TRY to race on anything resembling a racing line. They just swerve left and right all the fucking time, and any overtaking is impossible without them smashing into you trying to wipe you out. Started 5th, ended 10th because motherfuckers kept bumping into me.

That blinking BRAKE text in the middle of your screen is the most PD thing I have ever seen. What the fuck were they thinking? Jesus christ.
On the positive side, the cars are way more grippy (not sure this is good sim wise, but it at least makes more of the cars viable for top times) The other good thing is that the swimming pool-esque chicane in Dragontrail moved the barriers up to the curbing. Much better now. High risk high reward. No more gaming the corner cutting system. You could cheat it by bouncing over it. It would only register a cut corner if your wheels touched out of bounds.
I'll hook up my wheel later but first impressions are mixed. At the very least they are doing some thing during the beta.

This is my only substantive complaint with the GUIs and HUDs in new version. The red flashy gear recommendation icon is actually my favorite passive assist solution in any racing game, but this is silly. The idea is to make the game as ridiculously welcoming to new players as possible without having to learn the details of every last track, but, yeah, the old system was fine.

One tiny toggle in the options menu and it would be a non issue. I just don't see why making that a mandatory indicator for all views was seen as a good idea by anyone on that team. Moreover, it tells you to brake excessively early, even in flat out corners.

Some of you are reacting to this game as if it was the released product, not a beta

After switching the hud off I've come to realize that my reliance on the indicator was greater than I'd thought. It might not be the same as a driving line but it still makes me less aware of trackside clues for braking points. The new BRAKE indicator is excactly the same but just more obnoxious.
Precedence. Blame PD for historically false promises.
Not yet, I'd say we're waiting for an E3 blowout that (hopefully) will push the car count out to at least 250+
Edit: 250? OK that might be a little ambitious. I'm hoping for 200 minimum.

I did it and it worked. In my experience, you can´t manually set the clock. But if you change the time zone, once it reaches 00.00, you automatically get a new car.

Even when the game doesn't offer a full weather and time progression?
Anyway I didn't mean to sound like a PD hater, it just really bothers me that they can't seem to get their priorities straight. Or at least my priority list would be so much different.

I would imagine that would be true, as GT straddles a few camps, and each camp has their own priority.

I guess i've maxed out the different cars you can get in the beta because for the past three days i've only unlocked dupes. So, that would be 36 different cars you're able to unlock.

Camera control with the right stick isn't jittery anymore, yay. But the camera isn't movable in the external view, nay.
No HUD <3
Nice! How do you remove the mirror in bumper cam?
Sebmugi

Yes the textures are divine <3 The AA is also a strong point, the shadows remains the weak point :/
Yes the external view control with the right stick does not work since the new update..
For the external view without the rearview mirror, I am in rear view (which zoom a little) or with the analog stick

also some car manufacturers won't allow you to show their vehicles rolling over.

I've heard this a lot of times. AFAIK, there are also manufacturers that don't allow/didn't allow any kind of visual damage on their cars at all.

We've probably all heard it I'm just wondering if there are any demonstrable examples of manufacturers who's cars can't be rolled over or damaged in games where other cars can.

Man, I sent in a request to remove HUD and rear-view mirror options in bumper cam on the beta forums. Got the HUD options but no options to disable mirror. :/ I dont understand the point in forcing it in bumpercam when they don't even force it in hood view.

I don't know... these off-track grip levels are not good in a competitive context:
https://youtu.be/2ohKGOkbJhI
The very last bit I attached at the end of the video, that must be 2 seconds alone saved, completely within the rules (2 wheels still on track), but entirely unfair.

This has ended up being my favorite car to drive in the game so far.
To each their own. I was going to say it looked really shitty.
