Zoom Für das Entwicklerteam von Slightly Mad Studios war die vergangene Woche ziemlich produktiv. Wie der Zusammenfassung am Ende des Artikels zu entnehmen ist, haben die Programmierer viele Fortschritte gemacht und sind inzwischen bei Build 129 von Project CARS angekommen.Die aktuellste Version steht für alle Mitglieder die über den "Teammitglied+"-Status verfügen bereit. Unabhängig davon gibt es für alle in unserer Galerie zum Spiel neue Screenshots und einen 2:17 Minuten langen Trailer.
Wie Slightly Mad mitteilt, wird man im Laufe der kommenden Monate Features wie Nachtfahrten, ein dynamisches Tageszeit- und Wettersystem, Reifendeformation, eine Rennfahrerschule, Multiplayermodus, Kommunikation zwischen Box und Fahrzeug und so weiter implementieren. Während das noch etwas Zeit in Anspruch nehmen wird, rückt für Project CARS-Mitglieder das nächste Update in greifbare Nähe. Ab nächster Woche wird erstmals der Ariel Atom V8 und die Strecke Northampton fahrbar sein.
