There seem to be a whole bunch of managers over on the WMD forums these days. The screenshots thread had a ton of them.

GAF just got a second manager
Huh?What is your connection to EA?
Huh?
Oh yeah, that's just because I got tired of having that underscore so I revised it and that's my steam nick nowadays too. I've updated it on WMD though.Your user name on WMD is machinaea and I (wrongfully?) assumed that it was because of some connection to EA.
But now upon further reflection, I'm guessing it's pronounced machine-ia, right?
Installing this is a bit of a pain, now up 6 downloads telling me the install files are corrupt.
Awesome.Random factoid: NeoGAF members have now invested $6050 in Project CARS
Possibly more if my Team->Full wasn't counted.Questions for disap.ed and _machine:
1. How much of your 1000 are you confident that you'll get back?
2. Does the possibility of SMS signing with a publisher concern you at all?

You don't need to redownload (the whole file) with bittorrent, you can usually do a hash check and it'll redownload the bad bits. Otherwise, check your ram, maybe it's corrupted... it happened to me on my older computer.
I sure hope not.
I'm a Team Member i think, the 25 package.
Whoa, RAM is cheap? Unless my motherboard is too old to support the modern stuff, it sounds like a good time to jump up to 8GB then. I had been wanting to do that but memory was really expensive for a while again.You can run Memtest to find out, at least ram is cheap right now.
I'm guessing when I research it the answer is going to be "DDR3 is better, but my current motherboard only supports DDR2", in which case I'll just want to wait until I upgrade to an i5 CPU or something and a new motherboard anyway.DDR3 is cheap, DDR2 is twice as expensive.
And on Nordschleife:Ian Bell said:The words Dry Lake might be a clue.
Also can't wait for the next meeting now that I'm a manager. Time to start thinking about good ideas for the game...Mark Adams said:I'll let everyone down gently now, before everyone starts wetting themselves...no its not the green hell (...yet). We are holding back on that track in the short term guys, as we would like to explore a few options and things like licensing (especially this track) is horribly slooooow. We have plenty to get on with in the meantime of course. And with the popularity of the track, I'm sure that when we do start working on it, we'll have all the photo & Video reference we could possibly need from our members
Just remember, the last time someone was worried about track progress, we got like, 5 new tracks in a few weeks. (or maybe just 3, I forget)I still find it weird that it looks like the development on the scratch tracks has somewhat slowed down.
Bathurst and Spa were progressing fast and especially Bathurst didn't seem to have had a lot of updates recently.

I think they have a limited number of environment artists who are working on whatever they are assigned to at the moment. At least two of them were updating Azure Coast a day or two ago, from what I linked.
On another note, Machine, do you know when the next meeting is?

My problem with californian highway are the invisible walls! Driving max speed and then crashing into them is not fun :/
Most of the recent tracks were from the Ferrari Test Drive game so it makes sense that the focus at SMS has shifted (LOL) a little.
I still don't fully understand the relationship between all the SMS IPs. To the untrained eye (pCARS is the only thing of theirs I've played), they all seem like variants of the same game. Is it just family resemblance? Does each game have totally original assets? Do they own the rights to their own content, or do they just recreate the tracks and cars they've done before?
From what I understand it's this:
They don't own the assets from the Shift series, so they don't use those
They aren't working on the Ferrari game anymore, but it's using the same engine but an older version. They still seem to have rights over the assets.
I love country roads. Just pure driving goodness.
And oh, I'm also a full member now.
Sure.I shall use you as my referrer then "NullPointer256" I presume?
There's a poll right now about whether to rebrand WMD, but apparently it's a foregone conclusion that people want to keep it.
It's an unfortunate acronym that brings to mind terrorists and Iraq these days, in my opinion, but maybe it will be ok.

Yeah, they're all kinda shit. Aside from the actual development of the game, there's little that SMS/WMD have done properly... including marketing.I voted for The Game Foundry.
They're all shit names though. WMD is a stupid acronym to have in this day and age so I think they should change it, TGF was just the best of a bad bunch.
