Just for your Info in this AC times;

pCars has Join in Progress more like it is in LFS


Join while game is in progress feature (JIP)

    We have just added and activated a "Join in progress" feature to multi player games. The feature is new and incorporates large changes so it is possible there may be "teething troubles".
    We have included a command line switch to deactivate the feature if it causes the community issues. The command line switch is "-disablejip"

    Here is a bit about how what the new feature does:

    If you create a multi player race and enable a qualifying or practice session, then while you are in the practice/qualify session other players can join in with your game even while you are on track. As soon as the session moves on to a race session players can no longer join and the behaviour is the same as normal.

    I have done a lot of testing of the system and hope that it does not cause any trouble for the community.

Well it's a step closer and proves they know closed servers are a problem.

Mid-May 2015 is the expected release date and a ton of work has gone on in the mean time.   Dedicated serve files are out (early ones) and we'll try to spin up a server asap.  

Excited by this game, it even sounds awesome.

Did you see the devs demonstrate the game for 2 hours in the recent charity stream? http://www.specialeffect.org.uk not sure if its available for catch-up watching

No, I missed that, but I have been tracking this game for a couple of years now and am pleased to see us approaching release (finally)!

The fact that it has a dedicated server is a huge plus for us and we'll try to spin one up as soon as we can when decent files are released.

If anyone doubts the capability of this game, pick a fast car and pop over to the Silverstone track and take a swing through Maggotts, Becketts and Chapel.  It's the only game I know that gives me a 'reality' feeling through those corners.  Awesome! :racing:

I just pre-purchased Project Cars. £28 on g2play.net for the Limited Edition + Modified Car Pack PRE-ORDER Steam Key. £39.99 on Steam for just the Mod Car pre-order pack. This looks awesome and they are trying to get it out on the 7th May!

How does this play with a 360 controller? I'm assuming as it is coming out on consoles too that it should be perfectly playable on gamepad.

Is there anyone who has played this and Forza who can say how similar they are? I am hoping this is like a PC version of Forza.

albert

I wasn't on the beta but I've seen a demo of the game playing with a controller and even a TrackIR. I think it's going to be as complex as Live for speed for the Sim lovers and as playable as Forza for the console gamers.  At least that's what I'm hoping for.

Got my Steam key last night and installed but not played it yet.

Yep, I was worrying g2play.net were going to cancel the order, it was sitting there without a steam key allocated until this yesterday. Given they only charged £27.99 for the Ltd Edition and Steam have it on there for £39.99, I thought perhaps g2play had been dodgy dealing again. Anyways, all good, and downloading now.

Damn it.

Is there any hope at all that I could tell Steam support that I meant to add my PCars key as a gift rather than directly to my account for my own use? Any hope as long as I don't start the game? After reading the PC Gamer review just now I realise that the game is not really properly playable with a gamepad and I won't enjoy it. I should have waited for reviews so it's my fault.

I was slightly surprised by PC Gamers review considering it's also coming out on console. Unless the console versions have better gamepad support which they didn't bother porting to the PC version.
