Ok turning off Auto pit helped! :D

Shame I can't drive to save my life :p Maybe it's just the controller though. Most likely both!
 
for anyone having problems with not being able to go very fast, try turning auto pit off. its almost certainly the cause of the problem

Btw how long has this game been in dev?

the first build was available in october, but since it uses the same graphics engine as shift you could technically say its been in dev for a loooooong time.

Ah thanks for that I will try turning auto pit off :p And it is mainly the AI and car tuning settings I am having trouble with...

Is there any date on when qualifying will be put in the game?

Oh and is there a list of cars + tracks in the game atm?

personally i just race with the default AI settings, but this thread should help:
http://forum.wmdportal.com/showthread.php?2943-AI-sliders-usage

something i do remember from that thread is to keep the global difficulty at 60 or less, otherwise they will be slower by trying to go too fast

as for tuning, its impossible to go into all the details, but there are plenty of guides for other games floating around the internet, all of which will work in the same way for pCARS.
 
three more tracks added to the game:
(they will be in the next build you are allowed to download)

mugello
Circuit de catalunya
Oschersleben

with different names of course :)
 
probably not be playing it after todays shanegans :(

got a load of people to sign up, some today.

other day we could record our laptimes on the leaderboard now we cant since wipe :rolleyes: . so people i got to register today for eg will either have to pay extra get higher license like 30 quid more or just get a refund :rolleyes:

all for registering lap times ...


lol at people who argue you there to test the game not record times ! whole point of a race is the time or one of the biggest points ! saying hmm sorry we need you to pay extra now cause you want your times recorded is a joke.

best thing is i would have got them a 1000 members in the next year just for being greedy :rolleyes:

Whole point of a pre-alpha is to test.

It's got nothing to do with being greedy, with every build the physics change so older builds are no longer able to set leaderboard times and often the leaderboards get reset, if you cant deal with that then this clearly isnt for you yet

i test many games ;)

all other users can post times so it comes down to money at end of day.

how hard would it be to let juniors put lap times in ? not very hard at all.
 
so keep a junior build lap times that would keep it simple and not just make it about money ;)

worst thing about this is my friend who was told if anyone wants a refund post he did and was told to stop posting crap :rolleyes: he was trolled instantly and then told by Andy Garton to stop posting crap :rolleyes:

if thats the clowns that run this god help them.

refund recieved thank god.

this explains why the mods said someone was spouting rubbish.

the devs are NOT removing your ability to post a lap time because they want you to upgrade, they are stopping you from posting laptimes because they are totally irrelevant to the build they are working with because they are on an old physics setup. sometimes they allow you to post times with old physics, but in this case they had to stop you from posting because the old physics were considerably faster than the new physics (a good few seconds faster).

the devs are not going to make a special leaderboard just for old builds because they do not have the time or money to do such a thing. if they were a bigger company with a bigger budget then i would expect them to do this, but they are a very small company so do not have the time to do this. i have been affected by the leaderboard wipe as well, being a full member i was not able to post times in the gumpert for several days a week or so ago.

it is very clear that you do not know what you have signed up to do. you are not getting a fully working 100% polished game to play with your friends, you are getting an in development game and are paying for the privilege of playing the WIP builds and having a say in where the development goes. any leaderboard competition is a bonus. heck, there werent even leaderboards some of the builds

i hope you understand what CARS is all about, and dont go spreading bad press about it because it wasnt what you thought it was

ps, i assume you are a member of somewhere a lot bigger than the hunter forums, because theres no way your getting 1000 members from there, (especially since im the one who started the thread over there) and seena has the credit for 99% of the OcUK signups

reaper i know you a big fan fair do s i left the game no more who har from me but it was handled badly by them and there team allround.

quite sad tbh because the game is very good but dealing with those people leaves a lot to be desired.

i got 6 to sign up in last few days id of got 100 people in a few months you dont know me or who i deal with ;) may know my hunter persona but that is just that one . over a year i would like any game i like promote to its fullest and i would get 1000 members i dont even doubt that for one second. you may i dont.

what some did was try to come with the fanboi funnies :rolleyes: all i wanted to know was about the basics and why laptimes for juniors didnt work. this had basically rendered those i told about the game useless unless they upgraded and paid more for basically a basic function of " ANY " racing game.

i already play a racing game which has similar stuff which is free and beta test it . no bs in it and helpful with answers to my questions. i hoped for the same responses as i wasnt rude or disrespectful .the members who tried to be funny were but hey ho forums tbh.

what i didnt expect was one of the head people of the game to be like it !

a game in alpha asking for funding and being rude ! this is a new strategy i must admit :p hope it pans out fine.

so basically my friend wanted refunding he posted one thread asking for refund and got trolled by a idiot also asked to stop posting trash and his " friends " which yet again all that was asked is about lap times for juniors.

so he got refunded account deleted and he deleted my account and refunded me . so he was rude didnt like questions so just deleted and handed refund. so not all is black and white. enjoy the game .
 
You think the entire point of beta testing is to set the fastest time. Your point is invalid. You won't be missed, along with your "100s of sign ups" idle threats, tbh.
 
not threats i just said id get 100 members in a few months for them whats bad about that or a threat ?

i currently test a lot of alpha , beta games some small some big . i know how it works ;) calm down relax exhale and chill . im only saying about what went off leave it alone i get on with my own stuff. commenting on stuff you dont know about just forget about it . have a biscuit .
 
You're making a *lot* of noise for someone trying to make a point that it is of no consequence to them, and that they have just stop using the product without the need to make any noise...

Your point is still invalid. The point of testing is er.. testing. Not setting a personal best.
