Special Server Maintenance
Just when you think you have everything running some what better...
You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.
- November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
- November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
- November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
- November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.
If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.
To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.
Thank you for your support.

No, just a bunch of new Mercedes' cars added.
The biggest change is that the old installer no longer works, it's being run through Steam now. Check the pCars forums on how to obtain a Steam code.
Thanks, Ferry, great tip ! Have to say i love Steam. I had my TS2013 ( former Railworks) plus all the TS DLC i bought via Steam (a LOT!!) re-installed in just about 20 minutes by just one click. Didn't know about that. Very much surprised to see everything back in one go ! 
I'll check the PCars forum.
Thanks again! :salute:

That's why I like Steam and Origin as well; simply download what you bought when you need it, and all you need is a password to log into steam after reinstalling your computer. Updates are automatic too.
I bought the Sims 3 when it came out but Win7 didn't like those CD's so I never played it again, until I bought Crysis 3. It required Origin (Steam from EA) but apparently I already had an account.. So I tried my old Sims 3 password and there it was in my EA Origin account, ready to download!

One of the more interesting added cars is the 'Batman Benz', the Mercedes 190E 2.5-16 Evo II Group A. A crazy Mercedes from a time when they only made square boxes that made good taxi's.
A great companion for the BMW M3 E30 Group A! Time to relive some of those early '90s DTM battles. :d
Found a street version for sale btw, but €70k is a bit too much for me.. http://www.autotrader.nl/klassieker...-190e-25-16-evo-ii-gelimiteerde-no365/detail/

Still can't get over how exceptionally good these models look ! Haven't played pCars for quite a while and now that i have re-installed it ( Steam installation went smooth as a knife thru butter ! ) yet again my jaw is on the floor !
There's a thread going on at the Steam/Railworks forum about what other games people play. Lots of FS and Race stuff of course. I asked if anybody was into pCars.... Nobody answered.... Amazing really...
Lots of talk about something called 'Euro Truck Simulator 2' though. I never did seriously think about it, thought it is probabely too boring. It's also on Steam so i thought what the heck and installed it along with pCars (just 14 Euro). I'm hooked now !
Very well done, actually. Looks terrific and the game play is wonderfully executed. Not boring at all! Just finished a job driving a load of Edammer from Rotterdam to Cambridge, across the channel. Great fun!
