How's the wheel feedback feel on this game? That dude seemed to need a death grip (which I consider a good thing)

[GoesTuna11]

Triple screen is pretty nice, especially in races with other cars around.  I need to get a proper third monitor so I can set mine up properly.

It's already very good and getting better all the time.  It's also highly adjustable, both in game and with file tweaking.   Not sure how adjustable it will be on the consoles though.

that video is amazing

agree it makes one want to use a triple mon setup

first things first though, a computer that can run it at THAT graphics level.

I noticed the default lighting angle in their version of the Nordschiefe is similar to the angle used in GT4.

I remembered when GT5 came out I thought to myself "this is the same nurb?"  Then I did a race in GT5 with the time change on.  When it was AM the angle looked more like what is used in PCars, which is more like GT4's.

for my anyway, the memorization of corners on a track is apparently very dependent on the lighting.  Switching back and forth between games must be interesting for some of you who are doign that now.

Thanks for the updates Wiz!  I'll be out there in Pcars eventually... might just be a while.

Funny you should say that.  I just bought a few tracks in iRacing that I've driven in one or more of Forza, Ferrari Challenge or GT.  I was doing laps around Silverstone in iRacing and my first thought was that I barely recognize anything even after running it in F4 and FC.  I started up my xbox and checked out Silverstone.  It actually was quite similar just the field of view in Forza (a 40" TV) was much different than iRacing (a triple monitor setup).  I also tried Road Atlanta on iRacing and was blown away by the blind dropoffs and corners.  Forza just didn't have the elevation changes so the course was much easier.

It's hard to compare DRC between GT and iRacing since iRAcing did their laser scanning after the track was resurfaced.  But the shadow in GT that I use as a braking point is missing.  Serves me right for using shadows as braking points.  Earlier, I was racing at laguna seca in iRacing and was thinking that some of the camber changes and bumps were missing in GT.  I booted up GT and the camber changes and bumps were there just like in iRacing but just didn't have as much effect on the car.

It really strikes me how small changes in track accuracy or physics can have such a drastic affect on how you perceive a course.  Part of the fun of driving real world courses is when you watch a race on TV, you have a better idea of what the drivers are experiencing.  It's neat seeing a car go off track and thinking, I have troubles with the part of the track as well.  This is ruined if the track isn't accurate.  This is what bugs me with development of pCars tracks.  I'm not convinced that they are very accurate.

Using your post here just to make a point about pCARS...  there really is no "default lighting" in this game.  All tracks have a full 24 hour cycle that you can set to start whatever time you want to at the start of your session.  You can also set the date and the lighting will look a little different depending on what time of year you choose.

Also, all tracks will have weather as well.  Ranging from "clear skies" to "partly cloudy" to "hazy/foggy" to "rain" to "thunderstorm".

The weather is looking really good already and getting better all the time.  The lighting in this game is incredible as well.

@ Wiz, that really does seal the deal for me to make me find a way to start playing around w/ this.  24hr effects on any course?  Magical.  And that sunlight effect coming through the trees.  That does a lot for the emersion of the game.

Do you know if there will be anything advanced like a photo mode in this game?  I know you can take a screen shot whenever you wish, but what about photographic techniques like in GT?

@GT11, about the visual recognition of corners via lighting.

I think what I'm finding, at least for me, is that the Nurburgring in particular is all about memorizing the way things look from corner to corner.  The eye helps store the data in your memory so that when you see the pattern, including the road, sidelines, clouds and trees, of a particular corner, you know what to do there.

When the lighting changes, especially on Nurb, there are problems recognizing the corners because there are so few other visual ques, because there are so many frikkin corners in the first place, and many of them do look similar to one another.

So while I say I have a pretty good handle on Nurb in GT5, that goes out the window partially when I change the time on the track away from the default.  Nevermind pitch black!  LOL

There are better videos out there but this was the first one I found I liked on youtube...

I'm not sure.  I assume the answer will be yes, simply because they know they have something special in regards to graphics... I'm willing to bet they'll give us tools to show it off.

They just opened Sonoma up so I ran a couple laps in the BMW GT3.  The off I had on lap one was from ummm....thinking....Oh yeah, cat jumped in my lap

Very nice.

Just read 15 pages of posts on this and I'm seriously jonesing for this game. Wonder if it would run on the new Macbook Pro running Parallels or VMWare? Guess I'll have to find out.

Anyone seen any touring cars in the game? Saw someone mentioned SCCA racing? What cars? Obviously I'm hoping they include Spec Miata racing. That'd be awesome.

I think its TunaWiz that will be able to give us the latest and greatest.  He was pretty active for awhile

You would be much much better off running it through bootcamp.

Yup, I'll try to answer any questions that any of you have about this game.  

I took a 3ish week break from pretty much all gaming, planned to get back in it this week but a 102 fever kept me away yet again.  I've barely been able to move for the last 3 days.

Oh my!  That Ford Falcon V8 supercar is one sexy mofo.

Thanks for the list wizard.
