It should be dark at midnight in the middle of the countryside
I know Spa very well, so it's not that hard. If you don't know a track is must be really tough.Updated:

Good number of people. Really glad!
I'm going to try and do another time now.
How much if you live in/can ship to Finland?
I live in the Pirkanmaa region, I can give you an official GAF discount, how's 120e sound? The wheel and shifter still have the protective stickers/plastic on them. I've only been using the pedals on my Fanatec and can give you a replacement potentiometer for the pedals if any of them start acting up. I replaced the throttle pot, which turned out to be unnecessary since it was the fanatec adaper cable that was faulty. Might have the original pot around somewhere too.
Pretty funky selling this here, send me a pm if you're interested, haha.
On topic: I'd love to participate in this TT but I won't be able to before tomorrow evening, hopefully I'll make it for the next one.
Probably 8 or 9 eur.
Here's the log for today's design meeting http://forum.wmdportal.com/showthread.php?4322-Design-Meeting-notes-(22nd-March-2012)
Haven't read them yet myself, I'll do that right now.

Oh my god.
I can't tell you how much I cracked up at that.
Also it's exciting to know the graphics aren't at all finalised, since it looks great so far.
It seems to have a similar lighting engine to GT5 (which is a good thing).
!!!!!
I am super excited.
And don't forget Suzuka too!

Team Member+? The hell is that? I just upgraded last week to Team Member argggg
It means that anyone at team member or above gets the build. Manager+ builds mean anyone at manager level or above get them.
Reminds me of a little-known song by Australian band Icehouse.
Also reminds me of what could've been with Petrov's leap in the Lotus Renault last year. Except a little more exaggerated
For the little time trial/hotlap compo we have going, will that update make much of a difference or should I stick to 174?
Edit: Doesn't look like there are any handling/control fixes so I guess it should be okay.

No changes to physics, so no need to update.
And I did not expect Suzuka so quick, they must have been working on it for a while in the background

Yeah can't wait to get real track name (or at least a map for all of them) and same for the cars. I ended up on a Kart track with a Formula A the other day lol.

I almost missed the fact the new build was one day early, thought it was for seniors/managers only

Still a bit scrappy, it's obvious where I can find time, but that's good enough for me.

Holy fuck guys. Suzuka is AMAZING.
I would update the table for you Crumbs but OMG ONE MORE LAP.

Did you try with gamepad filtering off (or vice versa)?
I just bought a new wheel which should be here Monday but on my old DFGT the pedals are not recognized. Can only get them to work on a G25 profile which makes the steering fuxxxored,
Nope, I didn't have much time with it. I will try tomorrow, though. I had it on like I did with the previous build.
It might've just been me, but it definitely feels like if you're going right with the stick fully right, then let go of the stick, it jerks it to the left. It's as if the filtering is borked.

Well, I thought Suzuka was great fun, then I tried Azure Coast...
Jesus Christ. What a stretch of road. It will take me a while to memorise it and do a clean drive, but wow. It's so unlike anything else in the game and great because of it. More of this!

I've got a video of Suzuka uploading.
I was going to do an Azure video, but it's like 8 minutes long and I was crashing lots. Maybe in a few weeks
Edit:
A lap around Suzuka in the F1 car

Haha, alright, that vid makes GT5 look a lot more fun than what I had with it
And I highly suggest people don't click! It's a really awesome experience the first time. I had no idea what was coming. It took me about 14 minutes in total because the first time I was just cruising around taking it all in. Awesome.

It's a shame that aerodynamics aren't properly simulated in GT5.

That's really encouraging, but I still don't want to see those venues be mandatory in the final game (progression isn't limited by certain events). If anything, I think those "tracks" would make great post-launch DLC.

Ugh, I'd hate to see them as paid DLC. I don't like paid DLC in general. I like the idea of them as free driving/reward tracks, so maybe after you finish a career mode you unlock them as bonus courses.
I just finished doing Azure Coast, and it is gorgeous and LONG. There are obviously still some bugs in places where the track doesn't meet the walls perfectly, but it is REALLY pretty, and super fun to drive on. I recommend that everyone who tries it not look at videos beforehand, and just enjoy the experience.
This is possibly the most fun I've had in CARS so far. =)
*edit* Also, I recommend the Cromwell V8 for touring fun on that track.

So, anyone going to go from Team Member to Full Member before they close things off? Same benefits, but it's more likely (I guess) that it'll price bomba somewhere on or after launch. Providing we can use what we've put in to buy it anywhere, it may not be worth paying up fully just yet.
Are you constantly recording when you manage to capture something like this? I doubt I could do that with the off chance something crazy *might* happen.
The more you invest, the more you will gain back.
I just tried California Highway. It's pretty in its own way, but not to the gorgeous level of Azure Coast. Other tracks will have to wait until tomorrow.
Side note, I really appreciate the work they have done on the input lag at this point. With my settings and other stuff running in the background, I was getting 25-35 fps some times, yet it always felt smooth, drivable, and never laggy.

Not in terms of product-related benefits, but investment dollars? Hm. Fair enough.
Is there anywhere (by them) where sort of info is written?
There were some early information slide/webpage places where they provided expected payback amounts for the different member levels, but I think they have tried to emphasize it is not an "investment" per se to get a membership, plus the full member thing came up, so I don't know that the return amounts are nailed down at present. Maybe it will come up in meetings etc. in the coming months.
I'd say if you can afford the full member status, just jump at it. If they have good sales, the idea is that you'll get the full member money back, plus a little extra, and/or you'll at least get the game for "free" instead of just a discount off the Steam/retail price. Plus that way if they add any full member specific stuff, you won't be regretting it later in the build testing/release.Cool, cheers! I'm just trying to weigh up the benefits of being a full member come launch vs. a team member. But I guess we have a few weeks to decide
This is an unrelated note, but I just wanted to say I really love the engine they're using. I'm sure it has problems, and there are flickery shadows sometimes, and it's not photorealistic, but it does a REALLY nice job at what it does. The lighting is awesome, the thing runs smoothly on my 5850, and even the shadows and reflections don't seem to kill performance, aside from right during sunset/sunrise (at least in the old build, haven't tried it in the latest).

You have three hours to post a new time. I've asked Dilly what car/track he'd like to be next just in case nobody beats him. I'll post the next one when he gets back to me and once the deadline has been and gone
But yeah, performance is impressive. I have everything on max (bar AA) at 2048x1152 and I don't dip below 40 when recording with FRAPS. That's optimisation!

Yeah I just happened to be recording!
I really want to see where it is in 12-18 months when we're close to a final product. You have to imagine there will be several licks of painted at that point.
