At work atm the moment but will have to post a video to show what I mean when I get home. I had AA issues with shift 2 so it doesnt surprise me but the shadows in the game look really blocky the edges arent smooth at all plus adding this sort of heat haze effect thats in the game it really looks aweful

I know its really hard to see from this piccie but notice how jaggy the shadows are. When I get to the tree shadows in the rest of the track it looks even worse.

Your shadows look like mine, so it's certainly not your graphics card.

But it's a pre alpha build, so there'a plenty of time for improvements and optimizations.

Although the shadows in NFS Shift 1 and 2 were similar.

Anyone playing this with a G25 or G27 wheels needs to start the game using the

CARS_FFB.exe

located in

C:\Program Files (x86)\WMD\CARS

The game is so much better to play.

My Global Device Settings for my G27 are on default.

My biggest gripe is if they can get the FFB in this game so good, why was it so bad in Shift 1 and 2?

Arrghh if only my G25 wasnt broken, i would be all over this in a heart beat

You do have to become a Junior Member, at a minimum, to download a build of the game at cost of 10 Euros.

Once you've done that you can download by clicking on the yellow Download tab of the forum.

Just signed up as team member. Looks pretty cool

 

[tonyt3rry]

Looks worth investing in. when I have money I think ill invest

 

[bramski]

I bought a basic membership yesterday. My wheel has been out of action for ages but this project deserves support even if you are even remotely interested in driving sims.

I just hope they release a Caterham for it soon

I bought(or should I say invested in)theTool Packs - Type: Team Member ...yesterday, and I'm impressed with the level of detail, But, and a big BUT... having got, and running Shift2 Unleashed @ 2560x1440 180 FPS fully maxed out, ...C.A.R.S. brought my rig to it's knees, running DX9, with 5 cars racing...25 FPS..WTF???? That's TWO GTX580's SLI...i7 2600k and 16gig ram...WHAT??

But the physics are good....FPS Really very very poor?...
Cheers...

Try disabling SLI.

I don' think there's a SLI profile for it yet.

I get 45-75 with a single GTX 470 with everything on high at 1920x1200

Just tried that, now I get a BSOD ....If I go back to SLI the game works, no more BSOD..but poor FPS

At times its better but it kicks a lot and caused a few crashes ... I had it sweet on the standard exe so maybe need to mess with settings again for my G27!

Getting 35+ fps on mine maxxed out on Conneticut with no AI on build 78 Was more on build 74 IIRC.

OK, updated nVidia display drivers to 285.62....No more BSOD and getting a massive 20 FPS increase with 5 racers 40-45 FPS with single GTX 580 (Disabled Sli)....Could just maybe have been a driver issue on my part, and not the game Not bad at all really, considering the level of detail of the cars ..... Love the handling and the way the cars behave....Very promising

Finally bought this yesterday and gave it a quick blast with the keyboard. (Blasphemy i know!)

Its good so far!, are they going to get licenses to use the proper car names does anyone know?

If you have a G25 or G27 wheel, start the game with the CARS_FFB exe in the WMD folder. The FFB is even better.

They already have licenses from Motorsport Vision for Brands Hatch, Oulton Park, Snetterton and Cadwell Park.

As far as I know they plan to have all the game content of cars and tracks licensed.
