Well, glad to hear that it was a SMS prank...

+1

But I could swear there was something non-prankish said about a Wi 1080 version also - months ago?

I would actually surprised if this title does not eventually go multi platform (on next gen consoles). How could they recoup the investment from PC Players only?

Cars is announced for PC, xbox 360 and PS3. Other next-generation consoles are possible, incluiding Wii U and the speculated consoles from MS and Sony.


I kinda like this desciption of the game SMS give themselves:

"When we say "sim racing", we always think about something that cannot be enjoyed by "traditional" players, or as (opposite) something that can be enjoyed by the mass cannot be a simulator ... that's the eternal dilemma: simulation vs arcade. We should change this mentality, we're here to prove that realistic physics and awesome graphic can live together to give some great fun to the hardcore simmer AND to anyone else. This is supposed to be a AAA game for PC and consoles, we're not going to sell it only to a "niche"."

build 192 released... but for me, not liking many of the cars... personally I prefer and waiting for street cars.

Thanks for the heads-up, I'm not trying any more builds until they release the updated Fanatec driver, the current Fanatec FFB sucks IMHO and it only feels decent for me with the workaround of installing the Logitech driver and running the Fanatec wheel in PS3 mode as a G25.

I know it's only beta so I'm trying to avoid getting annoyed with it, so for me it's best not to try any more builds until I see that the release notes include the new Fanatec driver, personally I think getting the FFB working decent is more important than all the graphics enhancements done each build to avoid another Shift2 FFB feel, but they said they are working with Fanatec now so hopefully it will be good soon.

kludger... i posted this in my screenshot thread... not sure if you've tried any late versions...

"BTW FANATEC owners, not sure if new in this release, I skipped a couple, but more Fanatec options, and now you can tune the wheel to exactly 900 degrees, then it will match the car (like iRacing) and alot better now, not perfect, still very stiff... but much better now."

Thanks Magnum, I think I had tried that same build as you, but I will check just in case.

I had posted on their WDC forums and the recommendation had been to use PS3/G25 mode for the Fanatec until the new driver update, but I will doublecheck just in case.

As Magnum states, the fanatec ffb has improved alot. It's still quite stiff but it's very much drivable.
I must say I enjoy the scenery driving the coastline roads.
I'm impressed with the speed they improve the whole game.
Fixing issues,releasing new content,cars,tracks...really amazing.

New version... Patch able
