Wrong junior & team members get a coupon off the retail version of the game. Full members pluss get the full game for free

yeah I know that?

that wasn't really the point I was raising.

of course I'll get a discount I have paid for it.

£21.70!? :hmmm:

Take my money!

Now, I just have to download it. :hmmm:

Ryzza5 · March 24, 2012

Also seniors+ get "Exclusive track(s)" :)

...eventually

Dan G · March 25, 2012

Hmmm since you mentioned the game not coming out til the end of the year I might finally give in mate :) Get me the link the page with all the info, and what pack should I get?

Camel · March 25, 2012

WMD Forum[/url]
check the page for details

That's the page where you pay, you need to register on the forum first though.

I went for the Team Member pack.

Dan G · March 25, 2012

Cheers mate.

Ryzza5 · March 25, 2012

Invited a few of you to the TDUC group there (which I think will be used more when MP is built).

So far I've got 7 referrals, cool. That said it was also at 7 before Dan signed up ;)

Camel · March 26, 2012

I gave you one. :hmmm:

Dan G · March 26, 2012

Referred you before you even posted that mate :) Just installing the game now.

You were the one always trying to sell it to me so I put your name :lol:

Loving the latest build. Formula 1 car around Californa is sheer bliss. Although not so blissful when you see debris and tyre smoke ahead...

Dan G · March 26, 2012

Hmmm this is all wrong, not the game, my G25 isn't working at all haha! Haven't used it for 5 months.

Camel · March 26, 2012

I am so crap at this. I've never played something that's so difficult not to spin out on.

Maybe I have my wheel setup wrong. :hmmm:

Ryzza5 · March 26, 2012

I loosened the Force feedback on my wheel and ticked 'Let the game screw with your settings' in the Logi profiler which made the cars much more easier to control - but yeah you have to be careful with your inputs, and some cars are much harder than others.

We might have to start competing by means of comparing our records on the leaderboard. I might setup another thread for that and leave this as the news thread.

I just turned the stability control on but everything else off, love it now :cheeky:

Ryzza5 · March 26, 2012

Forgot this game had aids :p

The only aid I tend to use is ABS, since most cars have that, and I'm always braking too late (plus the G25 brakes aren't anything like a CSR with a load cell).

Ryzza5 · March 27, 2012

Here's my wheel settings:

That said, I've just changed my accelerator and brake sensitivity back to 40 again.

Camel · March 27, 2012

Thanks, I'll try them out next time I'm on it.

Dan G · March 27, 2012

x2 on that thanks

Anyone who is only a Junior (monthly build) member and who wants to help test/play multiplayer before the games' final release may wish to upgrade now before you're stuck with whatever tool pack you currently own:

Do you know if Juniors will be able to test/play Multiplayer mode when it is released (since for 3 weeks each month their version will be out of date)?

A) Juniors will not be able to play multiplayer at all

B) Juniors will only be able to play multiplayer for the first week of the month when everyone has the same build #

C) Juniors will always be able to play online regardless of build # (within reasonable limits)

B is most likely but the period of access due to compatibility may frequently be shorter than a week. Developments will occur so rapidly that that it would be too inefficient/costly to maintain compatibility between the server, dedicated servers and the sim.

Not everyone will have access to the very first multiplayer builds - we will need to restrict availability quite severely to start with so that we're able to coordinate small tests to ensure the database is doing the right things, the clients and dedicated servers are behaving correctly and so on.

Multiplayer! :woot:

Is there a way to just download the updates of the latest builds or do I have to download the whole thing again everytime a new build is released? :hmmm:
