BIG cruise (3 hours) with hautztuff ^ It seems no matter where you are, there is a sign telling you the direction of the coal valley

Yeah, it's just such a hard track to overtake cars on though. Respect to the successful BTCC guys

The game is community assisted - those members have been assisting the devs with making generic liveries. The Manager perk allows you to bring your own real life brand/logo into the game. 'Those few' photoshop experts have also been assisting the managers in making their car liveries. They're happy to do it since it gets their work out there, makes the game they care about look good, and may create job opportunities. 2 members have already been formally hired by SMS.

Depends if they are allowed to use the genuine livery or not

cool I think you can specify odd resolutions in the command line for taking portrait photos too.

yep, prefer cars to be in a good state for photos, unless the photos are of crashes

Car gets washed when you visit the map. Good enough for me.

I'm sure you of all people are already aware but grab some perks from HQ to make that purchase quicker.

Yep - sound is tied to framerate When you discover that the mood is tied to location rather than time it gets a bit old. If you're on a twisty road it can go from sunny to foggy to sunny very quickly.

3 litres of the good stuff! (water)

Don't think so. That would just be a dev emap cheat

I like how you ask us and you're one of maybe 3 people here who have an Xbone and FM5 :) If you've got unlimited Internet quota you could try looking to delete the cache for that game and start over.

Everyone has been giving away thousands of easy keys all week - where have you been?

It was a random guy I was following. If it was a mate I wouldn't have stopped to think about it :cheeky:

Maybe we'll need to go all out on those weight reduction kits :p (to replicate TDU1's hardcore mode)

You guys already know that I can sometimes be pretty :evil:, but this just takes it to a whole new level :lol: It felt like quite some time of me deliberating over 'should I?' or 'shouldn't I?'

Well since everyone else draws comparisons with pCARS... SMS have over 100 employees and 80,000+ WMD members (not all of them actively contributing assets), but it's enough for them to have new builds out every day. Kunos only have a handful of staff. Licensing and laser scanning would have eaten up the majority of their funds. They've been relying on the modding community a lot, so I would have expected them to focus more on the framework as you say. Who knows... but if you asked me a year or more ago I would have expected a final release by the end of this year (of course with active development continuing). But it's still very much pre-release in terms of features and quality in the context of an overall 'game'. In part the community have done this to themselves, we're more than happy to pay for 'early access' and assume devs will deliver on promises. Whereas if we never heard of a game we wouldn't necessarily know if it was delayed and therefore wouldn't mind. I'd never call AC arcade. There is some stuff I like about it, but I'll admit the physics do seem a little odd to me at times.... but of course... it's pre-release. So I don't play it much for now and hope it'll be great s**n.

Good point, I hadn't even bothered to read them. Maybe they are the names of developers/employees.

Pete usually makes me smile with some of his lines but I was properly laughing at the 'damage sounds' chat

Doesn't change the fact that you can't break traction with full throttle though. Yes there are skidding sounds but it requires no corrective input.

Yes but by now we are well beyond #16

For those who know about 'Fergus Pass' in northern O'ahu... looks like it's making a return in TC Rather than unlocking/discovering tiny sections of road at a time like in TDU1, you unlock square zones/tiles, which should be much easier when it comes to getting 100% (except that you need to unlock the offroad zones as well)

btw we have a dedicated TC Pics thread Brian

Can I nominate Mercedes-Benz for NoTW :lol: Are these all the players? And how do we choose our icon? I'm only doing this because there's an achievement for scaring 1 million pedestrians... honest
