I really do hope for some serious shit going on. Vettel dominating the race would be too boring.

lol it will get released on PC just like usual, half a year after official console release.

Quote from Klouczech :

Santa doesn't exist, GTFO...

I see no challenge somehow. Love trucking and also this game, but the thing that bothers me is that I kill so much time with it and have no real step forward in game. I don't like neverending games.

Muller Vs MacDowell: http://www.fiawtcc.com/uploads ... 012_macau_decision_16.pdf

A racing incident. Oh gosh. I'd give him to pay the damage of destroyed Cruze.

Quote from ChristijaNL :

Glad to see MacDowell ok. I'm probably the only person in the world who thinks u can not lay all the blame with Muller, MacDowell messed up his corner and Muller tries to pass him without losing his much higher speed, allready thinking about the next guy to pass.

This ment he had to pass MacDowell closely, but MacDowell started to defend in a very silly place given the fact Muller was travelling at much higher speed. Just look at MacDowell's line exiting that corner and compare it to the guy in front of him. U can not do that with the guy behind going much faster. A collision is bound to happen.. The previous weekend was definatelly wrong by Muller with the Menu accident, but this one i don't agree.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?f ... e&v=EjGf3YNp-wY#t=90s

It of course was not on purpose from him, but as Thilo said, it was avoidable. He knew that this corner is taken at very high speed yet he put his nose on MacDowell's rear bumper seeing that MacDowell had to lift off the throttle. I mean, the real master would slow down a little bit, because it's obvious he couldn't make it straight away as his speed was too high compared to MacDowell's with relatively no space when coming out of the corner. But Muller is that kind of person who never lifts off the throttle, even if the driver in front of him would crash in 200 km/h and die by that impact and that's the main reason I don't like him... He may be a good driver, champion, whatever. But his character is SO wrong. The way he talks to media, the way he drives sometimes. He's such an arrogant prick.

Quote from TFalke55 :

Ivan Muller is an idiot... and he proved it... I am really really glad to see MacDowell climbing out of the car, really after all what happened this weekend. I once respected him, but what he did recently is reckless. Of course this was not intentional but it was definately avoidable.

Also, Yann you were right, it was a former Chevrolet factory car, the Eurosport commentators Uwe Winter and BMW's Dirk Adorf confirmed it during the broadcast. And it was a "strange" incident, they said.

EDIT: can someone take Oriola's driver license away again? Same category like the MacDowell... congrats Michelisz for winning the Independent's title thanks to d'Aste's retirement. Congrats Huffy for winning the first title and it directly being a world championship.

Couldn't say it better myself. I totally agree with you. There goes 2012 season.

What's the real reason for original textures being so low-res? I mean it generally, not only in this game. Then comes to every game some modder and makes this out of it, with no FPS loss, because it's just a texture update. I mean, I've been always thinking it's due to performance saving, but I learned couple of things about FPS and majority of texture packs are not slowing down the computer at all. I don't get why we can't have all this stuff in original games? We live in 2012 after all.

Great job, Boris.

Since when are superbikes allowed on fast bumpy street circuit covered by walls from each side? That's insane for all today's standards...

Huff beat this 4 years old Larini's record in Macau like a boss, I think 2:29.4 was his time. The guy's looking great for his last 2 races. Only one red flag during Q1, that's nice result. Couple of broken mirrors too.

Not really team orders, for example Bamboo last round in Suzuka said they won't do problems to factory Chevys... Just because their interest. Not saying Colin is gonna do the same... I'd be happy if he'd fight for it.

Yvan Muller has nearly lost his chances to grab a fourth WTCC title, following a thirty second time penalty he received from the Stewards for hitting Alain Menu in today’s second race at Shanghai.

Honda in Ford regions, Colin on a good pace,

Colin is imho capable of top3, the thing is he won't do problems to factory Chevrolets because he is not 'allowed' to do so... Still the same old miracle. Curious about Michelisz too... Doing 70 to 30 bets that he will get pushed out by Muller :P

Quote from Boris Lozac :

Oh that.. cause i'm a texture king

Here's an improved version, darkened some parts to be like it's in real life..

Excuse my stupidity, but what's the exact path for this .dds? I have no vehicle, nor truck folder in my install of game downloaded from official ETS 2 site. I've searched it also in documents folder, but again no .dds at all.

Looking nice, one thing I can't tell from the pics - are the buttons also more hires or still the same?

why not

Works perfectly fine here. The problem is on your end.

Quote from Xaid0n :

Could someone explain to me what the Scaling setting is in the Graphics Settings?

That's the main setting of this game. Could be translated also as level detail distance... You can go up to 400% at least on my card. I have mine at 100% and still everything is blurry as ****, but my PC can't handle more. 100% and sharp textures are only like 10m in front of my truck. When 400% everything in distance is perfectly sharp, no blur whatsoever. Kills the performance so much, though...

Quote from TFalke55 :

Yes, it is.

At least good to hear they're considering the WTCC.

Is this end of STCC like it used to be?

The guy is right. This update is right imo.

"I am a BETA-tester for ETS2 and have been testing the game extensively before its release. During testing, I noticed that the simulated brakes, suspension and gearbox ratios were unrealistic and sought relay this to the development team. However, my comments were met with mixed responses. Hence I decided to create a mod that would resolve the above-mentioned problems as I was powerless and unsuccessful in pushing for changes to the retail version of the game.

In this mod, I have extensively tweaked the suspension and damping settings which I felt were highly unrealistic. They were extremely stiff, had almost no suspension travel and was excessively over-damped. My mod aims to replicate something closer to real life. I have also reduced the braking power as the default ones are extremely sharp which are unlike that of real trucks.

The biggest change I have made is to correct the wrong gear ratios used by the developers. The developers have decided to use Scania's gear ratios across the board but this was further marred by the fact that the gear ratios used on the Scania were wrong in the first place as they were from the G-series trucks and not the R-series portrayed in the game. As such, I have done extensive research on the individual gearboxes for the trucks and have changed the ratios for both forward and reverse gears, as well as the final drive ratio. It was interesting to note that Volvos and Renaults shared the same I-Shift gearbox, while MAN, Iveco and DAF are all using ZF AS-Tronic gearboxes. Scania used their own Opticruise while Mercedes uses their own Powershift (G281).

The mod also removes the 90km/h limiter.

I hope you guys enjoy the mod and give me some comments. Please take note that there might be a bug where the cab will rock forwards and backwards uncontrollably due to the mod. This is a bug with the game engine and cannot be solved by me. I've already submitted a bug report to the developers concerning this issue."

You will be as surprised as me when i woke up this morning wih a penis in my ass....

your penis is that long?

Quote from Jertje :

Yep, incidentally I already had a look at the demo to check it out and although the landmarks are uncanny even for the small town I live in, the roads are a bit random

It's a good solution to make the world 'smaller', but I was expecting 2-3 hour drives for a short mission

They're trying to attract more people, not everyone would have time for 3 hours driving.

omg stfu! I am buying an Xbox only because of this. Also just pre-ordered my copy, 50€ sounds very reasonable price. This game is going to be great! :scared:
