Wasn't it like we could select the view in the garage ourselves before ?....

Isn't that Assetto Corsa, where you can select a theme to view the car model?

Do you think by downloading/installing via Steam today ( gotta love Steam ! Was done in a jiffy! ) i've got the latest version ?

Yes, the games updates itself regularly, no need to manually update/patch it.

Yes, really love that ! I just thought that with earlier Pcars versions we could view a car model in the garage from any point we'd like by shoving the mouse around.... Maybe i'm mistaken..... I have to reinstall AC too one of these days.

As a vivid user of both Pcars and AC which do you actually prefer, Ferry ?

Fantastic, isn't it ! Well, it all looks and sounds really breathtaking. Just would've loved a bit more older cars ( also 'older' looking, IMHO i think sometimes they go too far with reflection mapping, makes some cars look a bit plasticky )

I haven't been able to induce some rain, isn't that implemented yet ?

Pcars, no doubt. Looks and sounds better, the physics are quite convincing and I really don't get along with AC's shifting system so I'm stuck to cars with paddle shifters. AC does offer some good user made mods though.

Use the 'conditions' tab when setting up a session. You can select up to three different weather types and set the rate how quick they change. Or you could simply use the real weather option. (Haven't tried that one yet)
 
Here's what you get when you set the weather to 'Thunderstorm':







The weather and 24-hour clock are two more advantages Pcars has over AC IMHO.
 
Dang it!! Pcars wants to install again ! :banghead:

Could be right.... Windows trouble atm... For a couple days now i'm struggling to get W7 started. After F1,F2,F8 etc and a few blue screens i can still get in. Tried Startup- and System Restore without any result. Before reinstalling W7 with accompanied stress and trouble ( i have FSX and the whole kit'n caboodle on a seperate SSD but i suppose it won't start up anymore because of the registry, right ?...... ) i thought i'd try W7 Recovery Pro from Neosmart Tech Team first. Bought it and burned a boot disk. Lets see what happens...

The Pcars folder is still there in my Steam/SteamApps/common folder but it looks like the .exe file is missing, probabely because of the system restore i tried.
So i couldn't try and find the Conditions Tab. Holy Moly!!! These 'Thunderstorm' screenies look amazing, Ferry !! :dizzy:

And thanks for advice re Pcars versus AC. I need to reinstal AC too but i might not even bother.

Wish me luck with that W7 recovery CD ! :teapot:

Cheers,
Jan

I had something similar a few weeks ago; one BSOD and after that Windows ran as slow as 'stront door een trechter' ... Ended up reinstalling W7, thankfully I keep W7 on it's own SSD and everything else on seperate HHD's. Still had to reinstall all my games and sims though.

AC does have it's qualities, the possibility of user made mods being a big one IMHO! There are plenty of very nice cars already avaliable, you can find a lot in the official forums.

Very frustrating, isn't it... All games still there but useless because of the damn registry (atleast that's what i understand..). This W7 EasyRE recovery program i tried just made it worse, changed all my drives names....Atleast i learned how to change them back. I get a 'page_fault_in_nonpaged_area', can also be hardware like memory.... I'll try a memory check next.

Remarkable that AC does have Ferrari, isn't it. Might that be the reason why pCars doesn't i wonder... ( isn't AC an Italian program ? That should make sense... :teapot: ) No classic F1 Ferrari's as far as i can see. I'll check it out again once i've got rid of the startup blues.

Groeten,
Jan
