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 only reason I want to know where you from is because if you are not from the U.K, then why should you care what we in the U.K do or don't do? Racist I am not, I am fed up with the amount coming over here and feel they can come over here and think we need to support them. Do you know how much it costs this country to support these people coming over here? Even when we give them a place to live it is not good enough. We had a barge that was being used to house immigrants, oh but that was not good enough. A mate said to me at the time, when he was homeless, he would have been happy to live on the barge, instead of ending up sleeping on a bench on the beach. I am not scared to say what my family heritage is, unlike you who is scared to say where they are from or where they live. Father side U.S, mother side Wales, still have family living in the U.S. A mate who sadly died a few years ago, had a load of people from different races recording in his studio, I got on with all of them. Skin colour don't bother me, where they are from don't bother me. Religion don't bother me as long as they don't push it onto me and it is not crazy stuff. I am not religious. But if you are not living in the U.K, then why should you care if we are in the E.U or not? This the problem, too many people poking their noses into where it don't belong. But you believe what you believe, if you think I am racist, then be it, I really do not care. Just grow a pair

      If he hasn't been able to figure that out, then why is he obsessed with tariffs? Because that's one of the most prominent tools to level the playing field when you have high cost of labor.
    • Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5102558, KB5095615 Setup and Recovery updates by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft released the newest preview update (C-release) under KB5095093. Alongside those, Microsoft also released new dynamic updates. For those who may not know, dynamic updates bring improvements to the Windows Recovery process in the form of Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates, which are also called Safe OS updates. The dynamic updates also affect the Setup file binaries in the form of Setup updates. These Dynamic Update packages are meant to be applied to existing Windows images prior to their deployment. Dynamic Updates also help preserve Language Pack (LP) and Features on Demand (FODs) content during the upgrade process. VBScript, for example, is currently an FOD on Windows 11 24H2. This time both recovery and setup updates were released for Windows 11. The company writes: "KB5095186: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, version 26H1: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.28000.2335. KB5102558: Setup Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to Windows setup binaries or any files that setup uses for feature updates in Windows 11, version 24H2 and Windows 11, version 25H2. KB5095615: Safe OS Dynamic Update for Windows 11, versions 24H2 and 25H2: June 23, 2026 This update makes improvements to the Windows recovery environment (WinRE). After installing this update, the WinRE version installed on the device should be 10.0.26100.8737." Microsoft notes that both the Recovery and Setup updates will be downloaded and installed automatically via the Windows Update channel.
