Project CARS build 179

[VELOCIPEDE]

http://www.wmdportal.com/projectnews/take-a-country-drive-with-build-179/

With the past two weekly development builds of Project CARS, Slightly Mad Studios have added no less than ten new tracks to their WMD-powered title.

There’s no slowing this week as Build 179 build introduces a brand new type of tracks to Project CARS, adding even more variety to the already rich-selection of tracks in the title.

The build introduces California Highway & Azure Coast, two point-to-point country tracks located in a stunningly beautiful setting. If you need a break from circuit racing, these tracks offer the perfect opportunity for a scenic drive.

Being around 20 kilometers in length and coming with a seemingly endless string of straights, bends, hairpins and crests, these tracks are the perfect location both for a relaxing drive or pushing your favorite car to the limit.

And if country tracks aren’t your thing, the new build has you covered as well as it also introduces a first version of Sakitto, a famous Asian racing venue in a very distinctive figure-8 layout.

Of course, this isn’t nearly everything this week’s build has in store as it also contains:

• DX11 multi-threaded deferred context rendering
  
• New versions of various cars & tracks
  
• Improved AI with 64 starting spots for various tracks
  
• New liveries for the Palmer Jaguar JP-LM
  
• Improved UI
  
• and much much more..

il ffb sembra peggiorato(ora e' na schifezza ognidove) , o almeno solo a me che ho un g25 sembra casuale e poco comunicativo, paragonato a rfactor 2 che ha ancora un po' di problemi (grafica da ottimizzare o migliorare di qualita') ma un ffb semplicemente spettacolare, sembra di avere ancora f1 challenge 99-02 o Grand Prix 3 ; ma a questo punto sono convinto anch'io che andra' verso la direzione simul-arcade non c'e' trippa per gatti , Iracing e le compagnie delle ISI restano il top e lo saranno per anni e anni e anni
