Project CARS build 197 (Team Member+)

[Giuly Driver]

Puntuale come ogni venerdi gli SMS hanno rilasciato la nuova versione del loro ottimo Project CARS che è arrivato alla build 197.

http://www.wmdportal.com/projectnews/lets-go-racing-boys-build-197-available/

A new weekly build of Slightly Mad Studios’ WMD-powered Project CARS title is out, introducing a whole new form of motorsport to the quickly-developing simulation.

Alongside plenty of other fixes, improvements and features, the newest build adds the 1990 Caper Stock Car to Project CARS, allowing members to experience some good old fashioned American stock car racing. While Project CARS already offers a wide variety of cars from road-going sports cars to high tech formula machinery, the Caper Stock Car is the perfect toys for those who believe that rubbing is very much a part of good racing. Powered by a mighty V8 engine, the big & heavy stock car provides a very different driving experience compared to the much more nimble and downforce-dependent cars most members are used to. To provide a full field of colorful stock cars to race with, we`ve also kicked off a livery painting contest as everyone is invited to paint up his personal favorite design using the supplied painting template.

Aside from the brand new stock car, Build 197 includes lots of other features and improvements such as:

• New versions of various cars & tracks
  
• Improved version of the new helmet cam that was introduced last week
  
• New version of the TweakIt tool
  
• Improved FSAA & SMAA support
  
• … and much more..
  

You want to experience the stunning Caper Stock Car today? Then join WMD and become a Team Member to start racing within minutes!

non capisco perchè si ostinano a tenere i suoni esterni per l'interno

[Cosm1]

che tralaltro sono gli stessi di rfactor che sono stati a loro volta scelti da iracing...

[Giuly Driver]

Si in effetti è vero, i suoni interni della formula A non sono proprio adeguati... Ma cmq mi sembra di aver letto sul forum che ci stanno lavorando e faranno dei suoni x gli interni con tanto di effetto ovattato per il casco...

[zolillo]

a me non sembra cambiato nulla sul versante fanatec driver, è sempre una m***a!

qualcuno può aggiungere qualcosa su questo fronte?

Ecco cosa ha scritto oggi il moderatore:

In helmet sound

Stephen has mentioned that there is a facility in place for simulating 'in helmet' sounds, and that he'd like to go for gold by simulating the earplugs, nomex hood and helmet, which should mean an incredibly accurate sound! In the Audio Roadmap thread it was said that if there is the demand for it then it should be able to take place fairly soon.

I'd like to pitch a few ideas and of course hear what other people would like to see (hear!) when this goes ahead.

Of course the things you'd expect; attenuation of volume, a more pronounced rumble in the low end, caused by the helmet resonating, as well as the thick padding against your ears. The high end rolloff of is also obvious, again caused by heavy padding preventing the higher frequencies from getting through.

But some other things I'd like to hear that I've experienced in my time under a crash helmet (Karting and Motorcross, as well as Downhill Mountain Biking - albeit the DH uses open faced helmets with goggles);

The sound of things hitting the visor (Grit, debris, the steering wheel/handlebars if you really get it wrong

) Are surprisingly loud, they resonate through the material of the helmet and cause quite a bang sometimes.

Hitting the back of the seat or the headrests, also a bit of a thud there which would be cool to have. Also Formula cars when you hit the head supports under heavy steering G's?

If lifting the visor was an option, it'd be cool to hear the change in sound, less attenuation and more wind noise rushes through.

Any input from you guys?

- Perhaps there could be a switch or slider, for earplugs on/off? This would allow the user to decide whether they want the effect of earplugs on, separate from the rest of the helmet effects.
