Yesterday afternoon at SMS towers, a lucky few of us had the opportunity to welcome Ben Collins for a catchup, to go over feedack, grab some lunch and have a general chat about the project.
Ben is a great guy who is really passionate about Project CARS, and yesterday was the start of more meetings to come to get some play-time in on the latest build, in the rig, and collect all the feedback we can.
- - -
We captured video and photographs as well as taking down notes.
Some of the captured video footage of Ben playing on the office rig/giving feedback; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTO90...ature=youtu.be
Below are some notes I managed to get down during the time we had, going over some of the points that were covered;
On Physics/handling
- Test drove Formula C in the track Bologna in SMS rig
- Formula C is close to real life (a subtle feedback on the steering wheel would be huge jump when going into a spin – stab of release as you spin out, then heavy feedback) / more grip when sliding
- Formula B – ‘front wooden tyres’
- Ben went through the points from his post the other day, including tyre heat and rain (http://forum.wmdportal.com/showthrea...l=1#post583460)
- Fleshy colour of tyres a ‘would like’ down the line
- Also points raised and looking forward to rain and the physical handling effects of rain, especially with puddles (causing major spin) – ability to pre-empt and react to this makes it a bigger challenge
- Breaking/steering in corners better but spinning out too long – short sliding snappy grip preferred
- Be good for each vehicle to have a default setup/baseline as a jumping off point to tweak (this already happening with weekly CPFT?)
- Good to know what cars are being tweaked/worked on / tyres being worked so that they can be checked as they are updated.
- It was mentioned about the weekly tweaking CPFT posts (i.e. http://forum.wmdportal.com/showthrea... ... kitto) – to keep an eye on this and to test those cars and tyres and tracks that are being improved to then give up to date feedback on just edited setups
- Scenarios of tracks/vehicles/tyres that Ben has noticed to be posted up in his thread also, and is happy for feedback in this thread too
- Feedback on Karts – need big tweaking. Position and POV are strange in the karts. Also, ability to hold brake and accelerate (steering with peddle almost?), and to make it feel like a proper kart experience (Mention of Formula C could be realistic on karts?)
- Next meeting to include Physics team members to go through all of the above in a more detailed and technical level (though Ben’s scenarios that are posted up and will be posted up should help – Casey aware of these)
On Tracks/Vehicles
- Idea of historical / story connection to a track or vehicle – i.e. historical F1 footage / a mini show reel going through the times
- Mention of the Guia Race of Macau being an up and coming track, and also being an intense challenging one
- V8 Supercar would be good to get in via Erebus and see where it fits in roster
- Aston Martin AMR – Ben could possibly help here
- Subaru BRZ (racing version) to race next year and would be good to get in at some point
- Could have Holden licence to have the Holden Vs Ford (Red vs Blue) style ‘tribal’ feel as in Bathurst
- DLC of Rally focus would be good, ability to drift in the Caterham
- Mention of San Fransisco would be cool as a ‘shut down’ rally race
- Yas Marina / Cabwell Park / Willow Springs (has 3 layouts) be good to get in at some point
- Mention again from earlier post on Gymkhana style area – as a ‘playground'
- Top Gear track – Dunsford + Kia (reasonably priced car) – could be played with here – McLaren way in as they have links with Dunsford
Other
- Talk of possible ‘famous laps’ type feature down the line, where by players can see the perfect lap times of Ben, for example and try and beat this
- Happy to re-tweet anything regarding pCARS where needed (though already has google alert setup for this)
- Would like to get more involved and help where possible, also to have more feedback from WMD members on his thread

Si eliminan la plataforma WiiU,,,sería reemplazada por la versión MAC, eso es lo que ha dicho Ian Bell
Que no quiere decir que vayan a hcer el desarrollo, claro.![[beer]](/images/smilies/nuevos2/brindando.gif "brindis")

Esto ha colgado Andy Garton:
As previously discussed, and based on the next-gen announcement, find below the new core Milestone list for Code/Physics/Online.
The monthly Milestones go up to an Alpha/Content Complete date of 15th April, where all content is locked down. Heavier QA will begin in February and really take centre stage after the Content Complete date.
This roadmap is much more detailed than the previous as I am using the actual JIRA task headers that we use internally, in some cases these are broken down into further sub-tasks, but it makes more sense to show only actual tasks in the Milestone list. Using this, I will keep the Milestones list updated on what has actually been 'resolved'/completed our-side in JIRA and make this clear here ongoing.
As ever, there will be times when some items need moving back or bringing forward to different Milestones for various reasons. I will also update this list with these changes and keep you informed of any additions/tasks that need dropping.
There are items from Core tech and Render that need feeding in, and this will come shortly, as with the schedule for vehicles and tracks and which Milestone dates they hit.

Cómo se nota que ha salido el AC... Hoy nos dan todas las novedades que tenían guardadas jajaja
Fijáos que hasta hablan de Macao. Lástima no tener ya unas imágenes del progreso (si lo hubiera claro), les vendría bien.

¿Donde hablan de Macao? Tengo muchisimas ganas de verlo en pCARS
Edit: La imagen de los Aston podria ser de alguno de los Shift

Además esos caracteres fueron creados para Project CARS (el tio que bebe o el de la gorra roja, por ejemplo).
Una captura que he hecho del lugar:

Ni por abrir el juego y buscar el lugar exacto de Donington

La madre del cordero, vaya cachondeo
Más leña al fuego: en el foro oficial a los circuitos sin licencia se les ha llama muchas veces con el not delante.
notSPa=Belgian Forest, not Suzuka=Sakitto, not Nurburgring=Eifelwald.
Así que Definitely not Donnington = Definitivamente Derby ????
puesto, a ver si lo lee y dice algo.... ![[mad]](/images/smilies/nuevos/miedo.gif "loco")
