TORA Avon Tyres British GT Championship: General Discussion

I switched to the Audi dropped 2sec at olton ...I'm getting there boys look the f out if ol ROSCOE becomes an Alien!!!

Not that its my job to notify people but some people need to look at there registration as there are parts showing in red and rectify it or your not going to be able to take part with incorrect details.

+1!^^^ I've been looking at this for a while and the competitors who have problems with their details aren't rectifying them. E.g. (just an example, don't take it to heart) "BAM Ultimate Driver" has 4 drivers in its' team whereas the rules state a maximum of two.

calendar thread needs to be updated

Dates are still being sorted

Here is the onboard stream from media day on sunday just gone



Enjoy

After playing some last night, the patch fixed some issues. The cars drive better, it's more enjoyable.

However, in a lobby of just 5 people. The lag and frame drop was worse than it was with v1.2. 

Anyone see it with their lobbies or with larger numbers?

Maybe another media day is needed??

Same here mate, still had lag racing and the biggest issue in my opinion the cars still lock if there is contact. The only change i noticed was the pad felt smoother. But im slightly slower lol. Hopefully they fix this quick, because when the racing is good its great!

They also did not fix the qual/race dashboard crash

The car locking together did happen to, was a bit off guard by it so wasn't sure if it was us or the game.

Maybe we will run more sessions next week when Patch 2 and DLC 1 is released.

I have to say I'm enjoying PCars even more now that the patch is out. Yes I am using a controller and a lot of the issues in the patch were to do with the controller but I have to admit I was sceptical as to how much of a difference I would notice.

I was vey surprised last night when I downloaded the update. I feel more confidence in pushing the car yet am not so worried about the adverse affect on the tyre temperatures. The ABS rumble on the trigger is a very nice touch.

Got my time around Oulton Park down to a 1:33.2 in the Aston GT3 and I know this car is possibly suited a bit better to the smoother, faster tracks. So I am very happy with the results from the patch. Now I can properly get the car dialled into the track and look forward to the upcoming championship.

How long until Patch 2 comes out ??? I am finding more problems with PCARS than before the update !!!!! e.g. multiplayer.... you sometime can not even go out on track, change your car camera, lagging out more, also if you your tyres to "Automatic by Weather" I swear it puts intermittent tyres on when its rain heavy. I hope patch 2 fixes to multiplayer problems.

+12 all of NSA feels the same

I've heard the patch is Friday or around the end of the week

It's a supposed performance upgrade for the game

Given what happened in the Caterham Spec Cup and what I´ve been reading on the internet I think it is imperative to do another media day.

I was just having a look at the Project CARS forums and specifically the XB1 Known Issues; are you seriously still going to try and run a championship on Project CARS with all this going on? At least Forza 4 still works

Known Issues Collective Thread (XB1) [Not for bug reporting!] - Updated 31/05

To keep an good overview for the users and developers over the issues that have been reported.
The idea is to link to threads and posts that describe the issue.
For this I need your guys help. Please use this thread to posts links to issues that are confirmed by multiple users.
Do not report new issues here, use existing threads or create new ones if necessary.

If you think the series is going to be awful because of Bugs then don't run in it?

I'm not running in it but thank you for your concern; but I am concerned for both the people who are and for TORA itself, aren't you?
FYI, I never said it was going to be "awful because of bugs", I merely asked a question; we are still allowed to ask questions aren't we?
Judging by the comments on this forum and others, many people are still having major issues; transversely many people are having none or virtually none, that is concerning isn't it for the smooth running of a championship as prestigious as this due to the link up with the Avon Tyres British GT Championship?

Don't forget that there are 22 days from today to Oulton Park.

For all we know there could be updates that change the whole complextion of the game. Or there might only be 1 update that does it all for us.

My point is that: Let's just sit back, wait and see for the devolpers have in store for us. If nothing major comes in the next 20 days (before R1 : Oulton) then maybe we can start asking questions.

I agree that there should be another Media Day/Open Test day 😀

That's my 2p's worth

I want this to work but since the 1.3 fix I have setup or raced in 6 private lobbys with between 8and 12 drivers and not once has an entire event worked correctly:'(

After 1.3 patch, I played with a few others in random
GT3 lobbies and I had a few that worked (Silverstone Rain, Wakins Glen Dry & Zuhai wet & dry) but a few didn't work.

The Crash to Dashboard is getting annoying but that's the only problem I seem to have (I have my controller wireless plugged in (basically making it wired) and all my issues seem to have stopped) Apart from the one mentioned above
