ZoomProject CARSAlle BilderThe Ultimate Driver Journey-TrailerWas ist neu bei Project CARS und was hat sich in den letzten Tagen hinsichtlich der Entwicklung des für November 2014 angekündigten Spiels getan? Antwort auf diese Fragen gibt wie immer das ausführliche Änderungsprotokoll zu den vier in dieser Woche und den in der Vorwoche veröffentlichten Pre-Alpha-Versionen.
Rechtzeitig zum Wochenende ist jetzt das Build 712 für alle World of Mass Development-Mitglieder die mindestens den Status Team Member+ haben verfügbar. Ein kurzer Blick auf das Änderungsprotokoll der in den letzten beiden Wochen bereitgestellten Versionen zeigt weitere Fortschritte bei den Next-Gen-Konsolenfassungen, im Grafikbereich, der AI, im Online-/Multiplayerbereich und Karrieremodus. Außerdem hat das Entwicklerteam weiter an der Fahrphysik und gezielt an der Beseitigung von kleineren Fehlern und der Optimierung einzelner Autos und Strecken gearbeitet.
Build 712 (25/04/14, Team Member+)
Next-Gen:
-PS4: Force linear render target.
-PS4: Adds dumping of current MS setting.
Render:
-Cockpit render modifications for dirt -fixes loss of dirt effect on cockpit meshes due to change to order of processing meshes
-Re-factor car dirt Buildup calculation -now based on how much of session has elapsed. Maximum dirtiness is set at 20 minutes (1200 seconds), so calculate current dirt level based on how far into that maximum we are, e.g. 10 minutes into the session the car will be 50% dirty. TODO -Ideally we should factor the weather conditions (more rain = faster dirt Buildup) and the number of other cars on the track into this calculation too.
GUI:
-Time attack now uses the race date setting of the track opposed to a hard coded race date setting.
AI/Pitstops:
-Wheel mechanic animations with triggers for wheel exchange
