Apart from what appears to be some flickering (40s into the replay), looking good and fluid.

This year is going to be a banner year for simulation racing.
I'm enjoying everything out there so far...pre-alphas, betas, you name it.

My first video from pCARS. I just joined the project, so many more will come

Hi guys - I couldn't think of a better place to post this, so sorry if it's slightly off topic.

When watching cars with a manual gearchange (like the historic F1 cars) - there seems to be a slight lag between the rev counter/engine sound change and the hand moving the gear-lever. It's easier to spot with the sound turned off.

Rev counter flicks which indicates the next gear is engaged then the hand moves the lever.

It will always be there, because the animation can only kick in when you actually change gears on your wheel/shifter.

I hope that for alders cars that required clutch shifts, they can use the clutch as a point to move the hands forward, so the delay would be slightly less.


ps: need to remind myself to ask/post this on WMD forum

Interesting video, m8.

In more ways than one.

You did 2:10:xx for the 2nd lap (fast lap, may we assume?). This with a Pagani Zonda R, capable of producing 750 hp.

Years ago, in RL, Fabrizio Gollin did a 2:15:xx with a Ferrari 550 GTS M with its 600+ hp.

Weight differences aside, assuming the track representation is accurate (no reason to believe otherwise), if the faster (with proper technique) drivers are doing around 2:10 with the Pagani Zonda R, I'd say this looks very, very promising (in spite of the LoadSens thing).

Harder therefore to understand why some are labelling CARS as arcade.

Above, from 3:16 to 5:39, during a FIA GT 2008 race at Spa. The pilot does lock up at the Chicane, but manages a respectable lap (with the lock up).

EDIT: just remembered, F. Gollin did those 2:15:xx on the old Spa layout.

Obvious when you think about it! So, it is literally the time delay between the physics of the car responding and the animation graphically responding? It does seem to be a long delay.

Yes,

the game (physics) reacts instantly to your moving the shifter (or paddle), by changing gears (within allowed time, older cars change slower than modern cars with paddles for example). But it is only the starting point for the animation, hence you will always be at least a little to late, because you do not know when a player will shift.


Some games try to help it a little by a very quick animation, but that mostly looks silly. Others by moving the hand forward when you reach certain rpm, but that will look silly because often while cornering you reach high rpm, but you do not switch gears and you get a hand constantly moving toward s the shifter and back again.


Regarding this game, some cars also still have temperary shifting animation, as they have not been done (placeholders/1t pass).

Some fun recently!

Radical SR-3 @ Le Mans , 3 lap night race.
Hope you enjoy

Too good not to share -- very earliest and therefore quite buggy -- implementation of new clouds system. This is the first time it's been in a build but you can see from the get-go how it'll be in a year's time:

Worth remembering too how eventually cloud cover on track will affect temperature on that part of the track and therefore affect grip etc....to say nothing about the full monty rain and other associated work done with the help of a meteorologist. Will be fun!

[edubz123]

and this one

[SternRav0R]

Awesome!
That first video on first lap I found myself holding my breath, I thought you were about to blow the Bus Stop altogether. heheh

[SwiftyOne]

Awesome vids, and a great setup too

Swifty

[C3PO]

Cheers guys - will put some more up tomorrow - I have some exciting plans.

[DurgeDriven]

There is a VIDEO SECTION

Why make a thread

[redi]

Merged with existing thread.

There is a pCARS video section now for video links that can be used as well.

[edubz123]

JonZ's latest

Some effects (both visual and audio) were from non-game sources, this is just something cinematic he put together. Still really fun to watch. Enjoy

[DoubleT]

Playing around with b.277 at Spa in the Zonda...

[Roger]

I have to say watching that it looks very convincing. That point between having grip and not having it looks believable. A bit of a buttock clench through Eau Rouge, some corners even as you went in, my brain was saying 'he'll get understeer on the exit' and you did.... (try different lines ).

It depends on the car, and the transition from grip to no grip and back still has some wrinkles to iron out and is on the list of things to solve.

[Roger]

If only I had the time to drive a sim these days! This looks like it would be a real treat (rF2 equally so, as far as I can see) - five years ago if someone showed us this everyone would be totally blown away.

[redi]

Well rF2 is scheduled for the end of this year or so and pCARS for mid-2013, so you have some time still to plan free time for those Don't forget Assetto Corsa, also probably late 2012. Priorities, priorities

[Roger]

If I was choosing I would probably have rF2 !!!! Just because of the historic Spa and the 67 cars

Well AC and pCARS have the Lotus 49 as well, and pCARS will have a historic Spa as well . Not sure about AC and historic Spa.

[Roger]

Well there ya go!

Hi guys, I'm new in this forum, I've seen this thread and I decided give it more life. Here we go:

Coming soon more videos. Greetings!

[renard]

Fantastic videos! Thanks very much!!

I have a stupid question...why does the pagani sound like it's turbocharged?

Because it is! lol. Twin turbos.

[dbigers]

Nice videos, thanks everyone for sharing. Having them all in one place is convenient. I hope this sim turns out to be great, it appears to be headed that way.

In fact I hope that all of these upcoming sims do well, competition is a good thing and pushes our hobby forward.

[ADRIANF1esp]

Thank you very much for these comments!

One video more:

[DucFreak]

I sure hope the sounds get propper attention (too much obsession with graphics for now). Placeholders or not (and WIP or not), it's all sounding pretty weak, dry and artificial (and still that horrid trans-whine from NFS-Shift *argh*) and stand out as the weakest part of the sim right now.
I can also perceive from videos that the throtle reacts to sound almost like an ON/OFF switcher? (NFS-Shift heritage, perhaps?).

[edubz123]

They're working on some new sound tech, I think they pushed the existing sound tech as far as it can go. All the balancing stuff will be done later and there will be control sliders so each person can tune sounds as they see fit (turbo, engine, wind, crowd, tyre scrub....)

Here's one from me from build296 (sorry about the off-track, the baby started tugging on my G27 wires, had to "kick" her away ).

FFB really came around this build, more to come in the future.

Yes the sound is not up to par yet, but there's very little that we can say about the sounds because everything is WIP. And things sound artificial and weak because it's WIP, not despite
Everything that makes sound interesting is still not in there (cracks, pops, proper reverb etc.), and with a 2-man team progress will take its time.

And no such thing as 'too much obsession with graphics' either, it happens to be the only thing in the game currently that comes with regular updates and hence is most advanced at this time Everything else is basically developed behind the scenes ATM.

[renard]

Great video edubz, I really like the pCARS FFord, great fun to race. And I agree about the FFB this build.

[edubz123]

I'm really enjoying the slower cars, I'm so sleep deprived I can't drive anything with more than 150BHP

Looking forward to those upcoming Formula Gulf cars petrolHD scored for us. FormulaA/B are just too quick for my slow reflexes.

[MaddmattH]

There's only one guy working on the sounds, so it's going to take a while for him to finish.

Me too, on all counts. i love the Ariels and rthe FF.

Nice one!

Comparative Circuit: Real vs Project CARS @ Spa-Francorchamps

I hope you like it.

[Roger]

That's insane

[renard]

I like it! A lot.

[Chronus]

Vegetation in RL is darker, there're brownish patches in many parts.

Other than that, great work by SMS. Impressive.

[Roger]

They probably had a drop of rain between real-life and the computer

[Gassolini]

Anyone else notice the pop up (or would that be pop down?) of the cars in the real life footage at 00:50?

Is real life really real?

Joking aside, that's great video work, Adrian!

[Digiprost]

Hi all,
Here I leave some of my videos of the game, hope you like
