Just some random pics I stole from over there.

That damage looks impressive. How does it affect driveability, if at all?

Good question Chrome. It's been a while since I have tried the damage modeling pysics thing. I will see if some wouldn't mind trying it out this evening.  Last time I ran full damage it was an online race in a formula car and I had my right rear taken off. Didnt realize it was even mine until after it had flew by my head.

Thanks for your patience with me getting updated, last Friday.

I'm wondering how much of this will get watered down for console players.

I'm wondering how much of this will get watered down for console players.

I was thinking about this the other day, back when I signed up for pCars they had it slated for release on the PS3 / Xbox360 but I haven't kept up with the chatter on the forum (mostly since my PC can't handle the game on minimum settings ) so I was wondering if there's been any official talk about the console release yet. 

Given the news about the PS4 I've been wondering (depending on how far along the PC development is) if they'll actually release it on the PS4 / NextBox instead, given the specs of the PS4 and it's more PC-style architecture it might make it much easier to port pCars from PC to the PS4 (and hopefully Nextbox) than to the current generation ones.

Also, if they did that it might mean they could keep a lot more of the complex stuff the PC version has given the power of the PS4 (graphics, damage system, physics, weather, other little track details), things that might otherwise be lost in a PS3 conversion.

The graphics and tire modelling are obvious, but I'm thinking a lot more is going to have to be cut, too.

They seem to be committed to the current consoles, so I can understand them wanting to release there, probably first. They can very easily release for the newer platforms when they are ready.

I never got in on this because it's impossible for me to setup a wheel/pedal combo where my computer is, but I'm starting to wish I did as registration's been closed forever, and I'd love to try this out even with my joystick.  If reg opens again or anyone knows of anyway to still get in on the action before full release, please do PM me!

those screenshots look AMAZING!

Since I haven't looked at it yet, does tuning actually work yet?

Yes.

Tomorrow night we'll be racing some cars at some tracks.

Come join us!

I missed it last week, but I will try again tomorrow.

We ran rFactor 2 last week so you didn't miss out.

As of this writing, I plan to alternate weeks with rF2 & pCARS on Friday nights.

Here's a look at the damage model.  Keep in mind this is still a WIP and I had it set to "Visual Only".

At 0:32 you can see the earth swallow up the rear bumper, this is a known bug.
