Astra theres a command line you can add to the launcher shortcut so it can make the car show up on the garage. Check pic below:

Nice! Thank you.

Maybe I should read the forums a bit more to find out all the tricks. :)

It's hard to say it has a great handling since every person has a different opinion on how handling such car should be, its a matter of trying. Maybe Astra can give you some feedback.

Nurburgring will come eventually, the layout is set and theres already some buildings like the hotel. You can see it in this picture:

Just finally bit the bullet and bought into the game. Started off as a Junior for now, but if I like the gameplay, I'll upgrade to a Full Member (probably incrementally; upgrade to a Team Member first, then to a Full Member later on). :)

Been thinking about buying myself into the weekly builds. Always enjoyed realistic driving and this seems to be the game I've been looking for, everything I've seen so far has just been eye candy. What really sold it for me was these excellent screens of the game, they're just marvelous!

Seeing as I have no wheel for the PC, does anyone know how it plays with an 360 controller? Because I'm not really a big fan of driving with my keyboard.

...well, after playing it for a little while, all I have to say is god, it's hard to control! I had to repeatedly calibrate my DFGT, reducing the wheel range each time (it seems to ignore the Logitech Profiler's settings) until I hit a usable spot. The only car I've been able to remotely control to some degree so far is the Formula A. Can't get to grips with the Ariel Atom V8, and just had a quick go on the Superkart 250cc before the game crashed.

Does anyone know any good settings for the Driving Force GT? Oh, also, something weird: every new game (on first boot; not just PCARS) I try to play with the DFGT, I have to remap the throttle and brake; it's always reversed.

It plays well but you gotta tweak it to your liking, i use a DualShock3 and i configure it as a Custom wheel ingame because it gives me a more sensitive version of the controller but some people dont enjoy my settings. :p

The game by default brings a setup done for the xbox 360.

Thanks for the info, I've been convinced to buy acces to the weekly builds. Can't wait to begin fiddling around with the graphics and hitting the road.

Haven't been able to fiddle around much, mostly been trying to find the perfect settings for my controller, when I've had time to play the game. Besides that I'm currently using an old 1440x900 monitor while waiting for my new one to arrive. Should be a few days before I get it, but then I should be able to produce some delicious screenshots :-) But today it's all about Armored Kill (BF3)!

OK, I just tried out the DFGT suggestions I got in that thread, and unfortunately, it hasn't made any difference. The cars are still unstable as hell, even with stability control turned on. I also have to turn the wheel quite a lot, which is weird, especially as the game doesn't even seem to be using 900-degree steering (even though it's recognised in the calibration).

Oh, and the game's crashing a hell of a lot too; I keep getting these messages...

    • Secure Boot

      By cork1958 · Posted

      Simple answer is yes, you will still get the Windows updates and as long as browser is up to date, you will be good. Only thing secure boot does is protect you against boot level threats and make it harder to install other OS's. I've been looking into this pretty thoroughly lately myself as wifes computer has secure boot disabled plus my other, older computers that run Linux, don't have secure boot enabled. Have seen all kinds of questions about this on the Linux Mint and MX Linux forums. Just don't suddenly enable secure boot now.
    • Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI

      By TsarNikky · Posted

      How many other companies will follow Ford's lead? Or, have they already gotten lazy and become enslaved to AI--and now can't figure out how to get out of that mess.
