Before I go bitching around at the WMD forum or go insane in the game itself, I figure I ask these questions her at RD as it is usually a much friendlier place.
I have been with pCARS since the beginning but now I realize that some of the issues related to skins, setups, the garage, etc I never really considered and how they would affect gameplay. Now I am wondering if I am using the game wrong or if those things are as clunky as they appear to be:
1) Garage: I am able to go to the garage and select a livery for a given car. If I go race with that car then, the livery loads. So far so good. But if I come back after racing other cars or selecting other cars in the garage, often that initial car has a "random" livery assigned to it. I even tried saving a setup in case that was necessary.
How do I select my favorite cars in the garage with the livery I want so I know what I'll be driving in game?
2) Setup: I know how to manage the setup in the garage. But when I am in practice or a SP race, and I work on a setup I don't see a way to save it the same way I do in the garage. Seems to me that setup is lost to the world unless I work on it in the garage. That doesn't seem possible to me. There has to be a way to work on a car and keep that setup saved someplace. Is this something they are still working on or am I missing something?
Aside from the above, I hope they will develop a better livery management. I know we requested it during development and I am not that worried if they didn't have time to implement it, but 15 years old games have better setup and livery management than this. What gives?
3) AI: There used to be a way to fine tune the behavior of the AI. It was complicated and a bit obscure, but it worked. Did they remove it from the final release?
54) Is there a place where one can read up on all the available features and where they explain more advanced concepts? The manual is a bit skimpy but somebody must have written a more comprehensive guide. At least if a feature is no longer available or badly implemented I won't waste time looking for a way around it.
Thanks.
