Will the cars be open to use for this? Have another day until I can crank it up so no clue?

Is the career and online garages separate?

OK, your first PCars track session ended over 12 hours ago and not one comment on how the evening went? You people have disappointed me yet again.

Can anyone confirm or deny that the PC guys can race on-line with the XOne guys? Is there any cross platform functionality that we were hoping for?

No cross platform between Xbone and PC, Parcells.  

I didn't participate last night as I was at work but I am hearing, in other forums, that the gamepad issues have a patch now and it has gotten a bit better. Can't confirm.

This title is proving to be a tough transition beyond the normal "get used to some new/different physics" woes. There are also some on-line/lobby issue bugs that they just patched. Remember the early days of FM4 and all those connection issues. Same sort of deal.

The biggest issue I am having is with the replays. If people in the race drop out even just the slightest bit early before the "official" race end, then they won't show up in the replay. Very annoying because I love watching the replays.

the patch was only to the PC snappy, consoles are still waiting, the lobby voice is useless we needed to use  a party. i am getting really sick of all the little things which if not fixed soon will push me away from the game. its a shame because the actual on track is great. and if i remember correctly thats what happened with GT5 for me and i never went back.

 

@ parcells as i said above the on track is great we have had 3 decent length session so far and the chat does NOT work its awfull, i was disconnected game crashed maybe 5/6 times last night alone, along with the fact that you cant join a lobby if they are on track how stupid is that. its getting frustrating. and dont get me started on the career mode

I agree with Gizzie there are a number of little things that are eating away at my enjoyment of this:

  1. The lack of grid ordering options
  2. The voice actually cripples the game at most you would get one race in (if you werent thrown out to the dashboard or the game crashes and you have to hard reset)
  3. As the voice is FUBAR you are forced to 8 Players speak (only by using party)
  4. The controler is so tempermental it is more tiring than enjoyable
  5. In Career the AI is not as intelligent as initially made out I get they are more aggresive but they knock you about way more than they should
  6. The AI are never affected by weather, nor do they need to change tires it would seem
  7. To echo Gizzie - YOu cant join or sit in a lobby while a race is taking place which in essance makes it annoying when:
  8. the Ready button is just a vote so if someone is missing they will be dragged into the race anyway

 

In all honesty i do like the game but there are thorns that are showing the more i play it. this game is becoming like a classic supercar - incredibly Pretty but utterly useless in functionality and stupidly difficult to live with

Until the ten minute mark everything was going way beyond expectations. Parcells qualified third(almost one full second faster than my previous best - 15 min test), earned second spot 2 seconds after the start because the P2 driver let off his brake too early (penalty for him, almost caught me out too, monkey see monkey do).

27-28 lap race at Spa, had minor slip up early going ending in third where the top 3 of us "kind of" made some separation from the pack, Parcells pitted early jumped both guys in front of me start of second stint. Did actually lose to both (another screw up - still mostly minor but tough crowd) during the second stint so again in third heading to final pit but caught up to both just as I head to the pits one lap early.

It was then things went sour...entering pits accidentally accepted default fuel (full tank much more than I needed) which cost me 3-4 seconds easily in the pits so the early pit strategy went out the window as I entered the pits. Regardless, was heading home to a guaranteed podium position when with ten minutes remaining in the race got booted from the lobby, Thems the breaks but the first 50 minutes of action was superb!

Sorry, wrong thread but a typical Wednesday evening in this series...

So, was this in GT6 or pCars? Sounds like an intense race until people got the boot.

It's gt6 and it was just parcells. I got dc'd due to having too many people in the car.
