Ladies and Gentleman. I would like to host a small contest. In my thread I would like to use screenshots made by you, the players. Therefore it would be great if some of you who have early access to the game would go ahead and make some really sexy screenshots and post them here in this thread. The best screenshots will be used for the thread in the screenshots section and credits will be given.

Requirements:

Screenshots must have a dimension of at least 1920X1080. If your screenshot is higher than that then please downscale.

There is no deadline.

Cool, surprised no one made a thread for it already. I'm still waiting for release before I buy though, I have enough alpha/beta games already hehe.
Game does look gorgeous though

Yeah I am eagerly waiting for the game to release as well. I think this game is going to be huge on PC. It will be definitely the best looking PC racing game but lets hope that every other aspect apart from graphics will be on par as well. Kind of a disappointment that it got delayed as I had intentions playing it this winter but I hope its for the best.

No doubt, I have long waited for a worthy opponent to Forza and Gran Turismo on PC, and I think this might be it! Graphics wise it has already beat them both by miles. I can't wait to play it

Shame it was delayed, but when you think about it would you want another unfinished game released? I wish more devs delayed their games if they felt it was not finished.
Just look at any EA, Ubi etc game out there now. Massive day 1 patches, bugged still 6months after release etc..

Anyone else having trouble getting it to start? I haven't played in a while, waiting for my wheel, but I tried to play a couple times recently and have had no luck.

It'll start, but it hangs at the Bandai games splash screen until I alt-tab. Then I can log in and select free practice, and a car, and track, but when I go to start it goes to the loading screen and just hangs forever. The data on the loading screen (where it should tell you the track, etc) is all blank (just the headings) and the music plays but it never advances. If I alt-tab out and end the program with task manager I still can't start it again because Steam says it is already running. So maybe there's a hidden service hanging it up somewhere? I have to reboot to be able to try to launch it again.

Game is up to date, and I tried verifying all files.

That's quite the CPU recommendation! Curious how this will run on console then.

Do you have any screen capture software running like teamviewer? I can't play it if TV is running.

No, nothing lime that. I tried deleting the Project Cars folder in My Documents (someone recommended) but that didn't help. I'm thinking it may be best just to delete and re-download it.

I've looked at the car list several times up until now and I don't know... I see a few cars I might be interested in but there are so many missing.
I'm not sure how they ended up with the car list but it doesn't seem that it has enough cars for any certain class;

For instance I saw the Ford 1966 Mustang 2+2 fastback. Great, but if I wanted a classic muscle car race I'd also need a Camaro SS and Challenger R/T which aren't in.
Another example: you have the Ford 2012 Focus ST and the Renault Mégane RS 2014. Nice, but what about the Golf GTI, the Scirocco, the Astra OPC or the Leon Cupra?
Yet another example: you have the Mitsubishi EVO but there's no Subaru?

I haven't followed the development closely so if these cars are coming then please correct me, but otherwise each car class seems incomplete. For me the beauty of racing comes from racing within a class where you can choose between many manufactures and see which suits you best. Otherwise having a 30+ cars race with only one or two car models is boring.

Been seeing this for a bit now, but since it is getting close to where I can get into it, makes me wonder: Since they are going all out, do you know if TrackIR is supported? Makes it rather handy to look about to see if you are clear.
 
#19 ·
Those... are eerily close for such a comparison.

Had half an eye on this game for a good while, where do you expect it to sit in terms of the genre, so full sim, arcade sim, arcade? I have iracing and assetto corsa and happy with both for varying reasons.

Anyone who has played it in dev can comment on the ffb in comparison to existing games etc?
 
#21 ·
I know i shouldn't pre-order games, i haven't done so since BF3 and that was a let down. But seeing that Slightly Mad moved the release date 2 times now makes me fell like they actually want to release a good game and not just cash in as quickly as possibly. But have anyone pre-ordered the game and is it worth it?

Saw that the store i usually buy from has the Limited Edition steelbook for just 46$ which compared to the standard edition at 42$ is a bargain.

How come no one is talking about this awesome game?
 
#24 ·
Lol fair enough.

Can't wait either! This really looks like probably the best car game for PC in a long time. I was thinking of grabbing a G27 used for this, anyone tried that out with this game?
 
#25 ·
People start talking about a certain game once it releases. There is still considerable waiting time so I can understand why there is not so much activity in this thread, pretty sure once the game releases there will be a lot of first impressions and discussions. I was kind of discouraged when I heard how bad the game performs on AMD cards and decided not to get this game on launch. Id rather wait for the Assetto Corsa Dream pack DLC which should add quite an amount of new content.

If buying in now would let me play the game, I'd probably have purchased it by now. Sure looks really nice though!
