*******C.A.R.S - Community Assisted Race Sim*********

Regarding refunds, I asked for one two days ago, as I am just not playing pcars at all due to real life getting in the way.
Got an email today that the money was back in my paypal account. With the FSA involved they won't mess around refusing anyone a refund I think.

They said a couple of weeks ago they will give anyone a refund who asks for one between now and retail.
apparently it's always been their policy, but that doesn't appear to be strictly true.

Although I did get a refund on my original account with them without any issues.

Damn it. I know someone who'd have bought that off you :\
 
I recently got a Thrustmaster T500 and this game is absolutely awesome with a wheel.

I just finished blasting around Suzuka on the Renault 88T, so much fun.

I tried the Formula B in the latest build and it felt very twitchy, not sure if it's just me.
 
steering wheel is good if the car is working as should

i actually did a test on my dfgt other day and set it up wrong on purpose went in and then reset to correct set up and it performed identical :p

so obviously still issues with some stuff.

thing is on xbox pad its so easy to drive like in early builds.

I cant remember if it is being used for the default tyre, but the new 'flash tread' is being used on the formula B. this tread lets the devs simulate graining and degradation properly, as well as do proper heat simulation for the tread and it makes the simulation of different surfaces (tarmac, gravel, grass, etc) far more realistic. Because its so new it might be causing the car to behave oddly simply because it isnt dialled in properly yet. There's probably a thread about it somewhere.
 
Played the latest build today, missed the last few because the game kept crashing. But after a format, fresh Windows install and a new game install it's running ok.

I'd say the FFB is pretty good at the moment on my T500, at least in the BMW GT3 I tried.

They still haven't cured the violent oscillation at the start of a race yet though.

Anyone know which is the best in game AA settings to use? I'm maxing out the game and using the highest setting for AA, but it' doesn't look as though it's working properly or maybe it's not really the best setting. I think I've got it set on SMAA2.

Try the in game downsampling. I think its called something like DSnX. (with n being a number)
 
So, with the current state of play, is there any channel with which I can get hold of this game? Just got myself a wheel and would love to play this with my friend who has a copy after watching a 33 car race stream where he almost won. I did play iRacing for a while which I might take up again if I struggle with pCars but I did wonder if there's any way to get in with pCars. Will the developers allow anything through a private conversation?
 
not really unless someone here sells there account which many wont because the game is in early stages yet sort of starting beta.

after the last patch my handling seems a bit better again with some cars. will have another blast later.
 
Purchase of Tool Packs has been closed for a while so you can't buy the game anymore. You might be able to get access when they open up "investments" for the next generation of consoles. But they are still sorting out how they can fund the next gen since the FSA basically stopped the current funding system.

I play both games and iRacing is far harder than pCARS so I wouldn't worry about not getting on with the game should you get access to it at some point.
 
wow finally some audio changes you can tell the difference with
Audio:
* The GameAudioSettings now provide us with more volume headroom to allow a greater dynamic range.
* Implement Zonda R engine set with new dynamic amplitude, new _Ext gear shift and distance based filter (occulsion) and reverb and added more bass to lower RPM range and fattened up the thin sounding exterior high rpm samples.
* Remix ALL cars and every sonic event in the CSD files to suit new dynamic.
* Create new external gear shift sounds in a new category called Gt1, which requires further code support to get it working correctly.
* Added the Zonda R Ai engine and remixed the Ai engine volume globally.
* Further tweak of the thin sounding Zonda R exterior onhigh sample.

still needs work though but atleast new audio effects are being added to the existing samples that they plan to resample anyway

With each release they add something else, or tweak something. Still one of the best classic lotus racing games I've ever played.. Lotus 98T races are awesome in this game.
 
This might be a silly question, but how do you get nose or external cam? I press the button to change cameras and it just rotates through various cockpit cam's.

The more I see of this, the more I'm worried its going to be another Black Mesa Source. Eagerly anticipated and very impressive when it starts, but then takes so long that by the time it finally does come out its no longer very impressive and most people have lost interest.

2 years ago it looked amazing. Now it merely looks great. If it takes another 2 years it will loose the visual styling USP and just become 'another race sim' and fall into obscurity. They need to get a jolly on or they will miss the boat.

its not a race sim, the physics need a complete rework for it to get even close to being a sim.

you can do donuts in the f1 car in 7th gear lol

terrible terrible physics and tyre model

Press and hold the camera button. It will then switch to a fancy angled chase view, which you can cycle though. Press and hold again and then you can cycle the various bonnet, bumper and roof cams.
