And will they be featured in the career this time around?

Just having them full stop would be a start

I know, I'm simply still pissed that they screwed us over in pCars 1

Totally agree.. when we got the Dallara I was desperate for some ovals to try it on..

Car Replay Cameras:
Are cams attached to the car body or in-car, simulated in their vibrations/shakiness as real-life Action Cams?
Is it possible to mod vibration/shakiness of the cams per car, in order to simulate this effects?

Usually in racing games replay cams on the side/in the middle/dashboard or bonnet of the car give a flat sensation.
If you compare a real-lap in a car and it's simulated counterpart, you notice nothing vibrates in the simulation. No subtle vibration at all and the footage feels and looks flat.
Clearly Formula 1 cams are "fixed", but in other categories or in the road cars, Action Cams mounted vibrate and shake a little.
This gives the feeling of being there and better sensations to people who actually love to watch replays.

Quick example, pCARS:

And will they be featured in the career this time around?

Ovals will be present, but i sincerely hope they keep them out of the career mode, or at least give us the possibility to skip that part...

I would like to know if triple screen will be fully supported ? I ask because latest video showing game play in triple screen still looks like side screens are stretched . Similar to the original Project Cars.

I second this question: i would like to know if PC2 will have FULL triple monitor suport... no more that warping nonsense that makes you sick (and not play the game)

Right from the Wookie himself (source):
"The final implementation of proper triple screen is going in this week."

I have 3 questions :
Are you using the same ffb adjustment as in the first game? as I really really will not put weeks of my life again messing. It got to the stage where I would spend more time adjusting than racing.

When you make changes to visuals, will we have to keep restarting the game?
I've forgotten the 3rd question cos I'm getting old ffs!

I'd be interested to hear about who from SMS staff worked on the phys and important stuff (ie; not the graphics) on GTR, GTR2 etc, and what position they now hold at SMS. All we ever hear is Bell this, Bell that. There's no game/sim without the people making it, so lets hear about them and their abilities, talent and history for a change?

Like, half the questions in this thread have been answered in gtplanet and republished here in various threads. Please if you want to rant make a thread, don't ask questions that have already been answered.

So we all read GT Planet? No I didn't think so.

Q & A with Ian Bell on Pcars2:

 

[Adam#81]

Well ok I guess that's fair enough, I only assumed that people interested in PCARS2 would already know about the ongoing Q&A. My bad.

 

[mizternice]

Ask if the netcode is any better

 

[Alx^]

When is this interview coming? And will it/can it be a video interview?

 

[blanes]

I must have missed the link, so where do we find this interview please ?

 

[blanes]

Why no answer on this please ? @Paul Jeffrey - assuming it was canned, what was the reason or is it still in the pipeline ?

 

[Adam#81]

Is what? The interview? It's on gtplanet called Q&A

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/threads/q-a-with-ianbell-read-op-process-of-updating.353715/

Not sure if there is a problem with linking to other sites.

No I did see that interview on gtplanet, however @Paul Jeffrey was doing a RaceDepartment interview, from the first page here, "RaceDepartment are due to sit down with Slightly Mad Studios in the coming days ..." . I would think such an interview would headline here and not at gtplanet or at least it doesn't give that indication anywhere I read.
