Project CARS: Build 149, Circuit de la Sarthe und viele Screenshots ZoomProject CARSBilder vom 10.02.12Slightly Mad Studios hat das neue Build 149, das f�r alle �ber den "Teammitglied+"-Status verf�genden Mitglieder verf�gbar ist, ver�ffentlicht. Ein Blick auf die Liste der �nderungen zeigt, dass die Entwickler verschiedene Verbesserungen vorgenommen, die Force Feedback-Unterst�tzung und die bereits verf�gbaren Autos und Strecken weiter verbessert haben.

Fans von Langstreckenrennen d�rfen mit der aktuellen Spielversion au�erdem eine fr�he Version des Circuit de la Sarthe ausprobieren. Schaut man sich die Anzahl der Eintr�ge in den einzelnen Changelogs an, kommt man zu dem Schluss, dass es f�r die Programmierer eine arbeitsreiche Woche war.

Build 149 (10/2/12, Team Member +)

Build 148 (9/2/12, Senior Manager)
-FFB load / grip mixer update (setup for Doug�s Caterham tyre forces)
-FFB adjust spring to steering lock to avoid dramatic fall-off beyond zero torque point with low steering lock settings
-Move some more debug keys into final config
-Frame rate independence for free camera movements (rotation was already frame rate independent, but not movement)
-Added F1 menu options for FFB grip/tyre force adjustments
changed paused tick to use real time instead of fixed frame rate, to ensure consistent camera movement between paused and not (Fix for slow free camera movement)
-Changed strafe to use exec time scaling � for consistency with other movements
-FFB clamp the steering lock value to ensure it stays within correct range
-Downgraded a level sound error to a warning, as the game works fine with missing sounds
-Added debug flags for toggling the engine sounds and the gear wobble
-Resurrected Eero�s WIP gear wobble for the transmission sounds.
-Currently disabled for initial testing, but can be switched on with the "Audio.ToggleGearWobble" console command. The colour of the engine graph values can now be modified from white, helpful for comparing values

-Various cars: added wheel colour variations
-Lower chance of AI to AI collisions causing launches/rolls
-Tyre load numbers recorded and entered for FFB � all cars
-Set FFB multipliers for Caterham and Formula A
