[Luca782005]

Non sò se posso chiederlo qui...non ho ben capito se quando uscirà il gioco a Novembre, questo sarà già con diverse auto e piste o bisogna comprarsi ogni auto o pista come su race room?

ho provato ad inserire la riga -gold  nel laucher di pcars per eseguire i vari ctrl-t ecc ecc ...ecco la descrizione

 

- None of the debug tools (F1, Ctrl+F, Ctrl+I, tweakit, etc etc) are available unless you use -gold command line (but by using -gold you get assert popups again )

Why has the game been delayed?
The scope of the game is by far the grandest and most intricately-detailed that the team have ever worked on, and has been built for the future with a great deal of depth and forward-thinking technology. Combined with the teams own high standards and determination to release the title in its most complete and polished state, and the complex nature of some last-minute issues and bugs, moving the release of the title allows the final product to be one that both matches the original vision of the team and satisfies the expectations of the understanding yet eager audience.

ABOUT
What game is Project CARS like?
Project CARS is a racing simulation so is comparable with popular console franchises Forza Motorsport and Gran Turismowhilst also providing the kind of advanced features usually reserved for PC-only simulators like iRacing and rFactor.
You guys made Shift 2 Unleashed - so is Project CARS' handling similar?
The physics, handling, force feedback, input lag, tire model, and all aspects of the handling model have been rewritten and improved, with a community of racing fans and race professionals supervising and testing them throughout. The overall result is something far more realistic and responsive.
Who is publishing Project CARS?
Project CARS is self-published by Slightly Mad Studios and distributed by Bandai Namco Games.
How many cars are going to be in the game?
We'll be releasing a full list of all cars and motorsports over the next few months. Check out the Cars page regularly!
Can we upgrade the cars?
Since the game covers such a variety of motorsports, each with their own performance restrictions, all vehicles are non-upgradable and come pre-installed with the best parts possible.
Can you tune the cars?
Yes! Project CARS has a deep tuning system with full control over all aspects of the car's performance. Troubleshoot common problems by checking with the in-game Engineer, get useful hints on technical details via the Digital Manual, and visit the dedicated Test Track to see how your changes perform out on the tarmac.
How many opponents can you play against?

• 45 offline (depending on the grid size of the track) on all platforms
• 16 online on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and 32-bit PC
• 32 online on 64-bit PC
