There's an easy solution to that. Don't look. You had your chance to get in when as everybody else did...

It will be available again during this year, my intention is not to make anyone jealous but to tell those who hadnt the chance what's going on with the game lately.

Did the new update change a bunch of stuff? Feels like I can't control the cars anymore even after changing settings...

tried out a mitsubushi evo, seemed fine to me.

i find the default sensitivity in game a bit high. can lower that if you find it too sensitive.

Dont forget to select the proper car tires before trying to race with them, select Car Setup and go to the global tab, change the tires to the ones you like and go race.

There's some test tires in the mix on some cars so they might act weird ^^

Another month, another update on Project CARS.



Nicolas Hamilton, brother of Lewis Hamilton, visited recently the Slightly Mad Studios and met with the developers, eager to get more hands-on with the Project CARS title and having always wanted to make a video game, Nicolas joined the developers for an informative and entertaining afternoon at their studio near Tower Bridge, London.
During his time with the developers they discussed his time in the Renault Clio UK Cup, his current participation in the European Touring Car Cup, and how his experience on the track translates directly into the game.
Nicolas grew up with his brother Lewis playing on some of the previous highly-acclaimed SMS titles GTR and GTR2 and has been an active member of the WMD community since November last year giving valuable feedback and suggestions since joining (WMD members can check out Nic’s thread right here ).



Project CARS, from today onwards is integrated with Steam for every member of the Project CARS Community.
All the current members can access Project CARS by getting their personal key from their official forum profile and adding it to steam, there’s still a lot of work to do before we can say it has a full integration (ex: with multiplayer features) but we are on the right track and this represents a big step forward in the development.

Along with these great news, the development in terms of sound and visuals has been progressing quite nicely, currently there not much I can show you in this area but in the next update I’ll be sure to post some new images.
Modders now have the ability to make their own driver suits and helmet designs, the community already started making some crazy outfits and helmet designs.

To end this up, here’ s an amazing new trailer by Jonz.

Been a while since i posted here but it has been a bit dificult to me to be writing new stuff on the different places i usually visit, so from now on i will be posting mainly news about Project CARS at Steam in the Project Cars Community Hub, sorry about it.

Just so you know briefly what happened since my last visit, the developers acquired licence for Team Oreca vehicles, their LMP2 car is the one so far announced but there might be a few more surprises coming along the way. Dubai Autodrome is now licensed as well so expect some improvements in terms of fidelity and maybe even some other parts of their complex!
A new car is also in development, the 1991 Mercedes-Benz 190E 2.5-16 Evolution 2 DTM, currently using a street version as a placeholder in order to test the physics, this car will be a competitor against the already ingame BMW M3 E30 which will allow everyone to revive those famous battles around Nordschleife and in other DTM circuits.

And here's the bombshell (cant live without one), if you live near Berlin or you are thinking of visiting the IFA 2013 (6-11th of September) you will be able to try out Project CARS running on a brand new Panasonic 4K UHD TV from inside a racing car rig ! That's right, sounds insane doesnt it?



You can read about this and much more at the Project CARS Steam Community HUB, thanks!

Project cars races to next-gen!

Today, Slightly Mad Studios are proud to announce that crowd-powered, AAA racing title Project CARS will be coming to three further gaming platforms in 2014.

Both Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One consoles will see Project CARS racing onto them during 2014 as gaming enters the next generation with new benchmarks of graphical fidelity and technical power becoming possible and Project CARS aiming to set a new standard for virtual racing for motorsports and car fans around the world.


Furthermore, Project CARS will also be coming to Valve’s Steam OS, extending an existing partnership with Steam that has already allowed tens of thousands of WMD members the ability to download and play builds of the game during its development and allow specific multiplayer and social features that are only possible using this unique platform.

“Project CARS has always led the pack in terms of insane detail. Whether that’s graphically in the craftsmanship of our cars and tracks, technically in the way we’ve approached weather and time of day, or emotionally in how each car feels and responds to your touch. These powerful new platforms allow us therefore to not compromise on the quality of our vision and ultimately that means players are going to experience something truly breathtaking when they get behind the wheel.” - Ian Bell, Head Of Studio

Project CARS will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Steam OS, PC, and Wii U starting Fall 2014.

Build 603 (8/11/13, Team Member+)
Environment:
* Tree ambient boost tuning, vertex animation added
Render:
* Improved Environment Map for Player Car when using Ultra Envmap detail setting (includes scene lights at night and also opponent cars). Bonus feature - with Reflection Settings at Ultra, scene lights are also now rendered, so that cars reflected in water/puddles now correctly pick up scene and headlights.
* Renderer/Renderbridge and GraphicsEngine use fast SSE2 mode, rather than precise - this results in much faster maths code in a lot of places avoiding un-necessary promotion to doubles.
* Headlights: Optimized polygon light cone (should help night racing fps)
Vehicles:
* BMW M1 Procar: Added support for LODX meshes (ULTRA detail)
* McLaren MP4-12C: Added to game, fixed classes, fixed CPIT display, fixed rear wing animations, added HUD tacho
* LMP RWD P30: Added LMP RWD P30 first export, runtime file fixes + added placeholder liveries + ambient shadow added
* Formula C: Added body UV template, ambient shadow rendered
* Ford Capri Group5: LODA and B interiors polished, mapped and textured. A couple of small LODX/CPIT interior fixes made too, all new Interior DDS texture. Initial check-in.

Know Issues:
California Highway (All):
-There are still some microgaps between road/terrain sections, will be fixed asap
-Trees/bushes look bright on shadow areas
-terrain drawing issue caused by a bug with the skyring shader. Skyring shader drawing just in front the far plane
-Bad sea/flickering. Bug with the skyring/sea shader
Monitor:
-If you access the map feature it will lead to a crash

Nice Nords vid, sunset looks so real, and I agree, the car sounds great too.

I tried to do another search for latest builds tested on KB, but couldn't find anything. Last vid I saw of someone driving on KB was the full Nords north loop though, and he was handling it pretty well even with a build quite a bit older than 603.

Project CARS currently is pre-Alpha version, this is the why the game has some bugs, these will be solved with the time. ;)


New gameplay giving a lap at belgian circuit of Spa-Francorchamps with Audi R18 (Asano LM11 TDX in the game), after the lap also the replay.

It might not be even a bug, it could be simply HDR luminance adaptation - from inside of the tunnel outside looks extra bright especially right after entering dark environment - this effect usually simulates eye adaptation to dark

In case I missed it, are you allowing complete seating adjustment and field of view control?
Assetto for example allows FOV from 10 degrees up to 120. When the FOV is really low, it pushes your view right up onto dashboard, giving you much more response due to your perception.

I have seen the helmet cam and not convinced it will be universally applicable to all vehicles.
Does it have the option to disable look to apex?

You can adjust pretty much everything from the menu, and you have some more options ingame (cams) and from the debug menu.
