Sod that, cobra 0.2 update is out !!

the Shelby is delightful
Tango

i know its early days but this really needs alot of work, alot of NKP still exists in the netcode and that booking system is a load of tosh, why cant people join a server thats in practice mode, lots of noobs intent on wrecking, run wide on corner exit and 5 sec penalty, followed by car behind running into you
Tango

I would love to see both vintage cars from nkpro ported over, or something like a cobra,mustang or maybe a Holden or ford from down under, something heavy with a lovely sounding v8 upfront

ive got almost identical setup to above post, 6850 ATI card and cpu @ 4ghz,
very smooth 65-70 fps with decent gfx settings, only the shadow detail and cubemap turned down but everything else on max, no input lag with DFGT wheel, impressed but lets see when theres 20 other cars around !
turn AF to x4 and AA to x4 to get ingame anti-aliasing to work.

Quote from luki97 :

Didn't Dale Earnhardt had heart attack or some other health problem just right before his crash?

Dale died because of his refusal to wear a HANS device,normally the helmet would strike the steering wheel with a impact like that but the side contact knocked his head to the right,then forwards when it impacted the wall.
Without the wheel to prevent his head from moving to far forward, his head was dislocated from the spine,causing massive damage to the nervous system and almost instant death,that was an easily survivable impact,but a combination of factors led to his death.
Alot of missing safety features, that we take for granted nowadays, was mostly to blame,yes there was a problem with his belt but surgeons and medical staff have said that it didnt contribute to the cause,it wasnt compulsory to wear a HANS device but at the following race 41 of the 43 drivers wore them and NASCAR made it a rule the following season.

Regarding Allan`s death,it looks like he suffered from massive swelling to the brain and internal bleeding,effectively a stroke,may he rest in peace,he died doing what he loved

Austin Allegro

just in case anyone hasnt noticed,the mclaren`s will be DLC.
Tango

First RUF is coming this Friday.
Tango

seems sad that nkpro has one of the best tyre models and is yet spoilt by a mediocre online experience.ive noticed that there is still alot more people prefering slicks and wings compared to the `slower,more realistic` cars which are alot more fun to drive.
Tango

just wondering if there are alot more people on NKPro servers now that people are buying so they can try tech preview?
Tango

[QUOTE=cargame.nl;1767341]So you are busy there now?/QUOTE]
Nope,just been busy with other stuff
Tango

Latest build has the lemans Ford GT40,very tasty car,lots of slippy action and great sound
Tango

no need for documentation,all done online now and has been for a number of years.
Tango

those patches wont be so frequent once the multiplayer is smoothed out,it needs alot of work and so they release the updates to the lower members to help speed up the development,maybe this friday multiplayer might be available to team members and lower(?).
Tango

ignore what alot of posters are saying on the forums,its an improvement but you cant give a proper impression as there is so much work to do,winds me up when people say,`wow the z4 is brilliant now`,its using Formula A slicks for crying out loud !!
Tango

Well i read the forum threads and gave it a test,but every car has the same tyres as the formula A car and those rear tyres have the same width as the fronts,so all 4 tyres are the same so its impossible to give any constructive feedback as its a very early release but as usual,the pCars forums are full of people raving about it,oh well at least we have seen some progress regarding the update of the PC`s tyre model.
Tango

Big week for pCars,multiplayer is nearly here for everyone but today,we can start testing an early build with the new tyre model,the build forum will tell you all about it
