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...

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      Stop asking people that. It's a "No True Scotsman" argument in that you are attempting to discredit the opinions of a person by Attacking the Messenger. The reason that these are logical fallacies is the TRUTH is based on facts as supported by evidence. Nothing else. So, always debate the facts with evidence to reach the truth. Once you learn to do this, you'll be able to recognize when people are fearmongering and lying to you for their own selfish ends.

      It doesn't matter if you didn't directly hear it from person X or Y. Every one of your statements comes straight from the racist, skinhead, anti-immigrant, be afraid of everything, "they are all taking our jobs", etc. etc. mouthpieces. That's where Farag and Putin heard it from too...and used it against the UK. So, while you keep disavowing the people who publicly peddled that position, you keep proving over and over again that those lies influenced you into being tricked when the Brexit vote came around too. In fact, your final sentence makes it crystal clear that it was the racist/anti-immigrant lies you fell and voted for, since you stated that you didn't have an issue with the economic trade issues with the EU. Ahem. To be clear, all of these LIES are EONS old, mate. They are the same fearmongering lies peddled to the same ignorant, gullible cowards by the same charlatans, snake-oil salesmen, and would be demagogues who've been doing this since caveman Ugh lied about his slightly different neighbor in order to steal his land. And, finally, you answered your own previous question. The reason that the EU isn't clamoring to bring the UK back is that they have had enough of people who would rather shoot themselves in the foot than get over their "insecurity issues". It's the same reason the entire world is moving away from the USA as fast as it can...

    • Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Onkyo Dolby Atmos AV receivers are really solid deals by Sayan Sen Recently we covered great deals on several soundbar models from the likes of Sony, JBL, Samsung and others for really good prices (the lowest in several months). Aside from that we also reported on the Edifier S3000MKII, a hi-fi two-way bookshelf monitor that's available for only $800. Today we bring a list of AV receivers from Onkyo that are available at great prices including the Onkyo NR7100, RZ30, and 8470 (purchase links under the specs table down below). The Onkyo TX-NR7100 and Onkyo TX-RZ30 are both 9.2-channel AV receivers designed for immersive home theater setups but they occupy slightly different tiers within Onkyo’s lineup with the RZ30 positioned as the more advanced model. The TX-NR7100 is a THX Certified 9.2-channel receiver offering up to 100 W per channel (8 ohms, 2 channels driven). It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and IMAX Enhanced formats, with flexible configurations such as 5.1.4 or 7.1.2 speaker layouts. A key highlight is its built-in Dirac Live Room Correction which should help optimize sound based on your room and its acoustics. In comparison, both models share several core capabilities though the RZ30 is geared toward enthusiasts seeking more precise calibration and system flexibility, while the NR7100 is positioned as a slightly more accessible, value-focused option with strong all-round performance. The technical specs of the RZ30 and NR7100 9.2 AVRs are given in the table below: Specification Onkyo TX-RZ30 Onkyo TX-NR7100 Power Output (FTC, 2ch driven) ~100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) 100 W/ch (8Ω, 20Hz–20kHz, 0.08% THD) Dynamic / Peak Power 9 × 170 W (6Ω, 1kHz, 1% THD, 1ch driven) 220 W/ch (6Ω, 1kHz, 10% THD, 1ch driven) Frequency Response 5 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) 10 Hz – 100 kHz (+1/-3 dB) THD 0.08% 0.08% Room Correction Dirac Live (full bandwidth) Dirac Live (with AccuReflex support) Immersive Audio Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, IMAX Enhanced Speaker Layout Support Up to 7.2.2 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing Up to 7.2.4 / 5.2.4 / 9.2 processing HDMI Inputs / Outputs 6 inputs / 2 outputs (eARC) 6 inputs / 2 outputs (Main + Sub/Zone 2) HDMI 2.1 Support 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC 8K/60, 4K/120, VRR, ALLM, QFT, DSC, eARC Video Formats HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 HDR10+, Dolby Vision, HDCP 2.3 Streaming / Network Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Wi-Fi, AirPlay 2, Chromecast, Bluetooth, DTS Play-Fi Get them at the links below: Onkyo TX-RZ30 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $797.00 (Sold and shipped by Electronic Expo) Onkyo TX-NR7100 9.2-Channel AV Receiver: $699.00 (Sold and shipped by Adorma) Onkyo TX-8470 2 Ch Stereo Receiver: $449.00 (Sold and Shipped by Adorma) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
