Oh, and for clarity, I've been clean of my problem for 3 months nearly now

That's what I don't like about the rain on FM6, the puddles are too much. T10 will have to do a lot more then 'puddles' to get a pre order out of me this time around

I did notice that on the big deep (3D) puddles, the cars driving over them, didn't seem to disperse much more water than the normal spray.

Makes me think they are graphically big deep 3D puddles, rather than any physics involved.

To me, this is the biggest difference between the two studios. Sadly it's pretty much a given nowadays that games will launch full of issues, but it's been good to see SMS actually making an effort to fix their issues unlike T10.

As for the video, I have to agree with everyone else on the rain side of things - the puddles are so big it almost feels like a tech demo, yet they have nothing like the impact I'd expect when you drive through them. That huge one at Paddock Bend is the sort of thing I'd expect to cause a load of damage if you hit it at racing speeds, and almost certainly a loss of control - definitely more than the slight slowing in the FM6 video. As Slim said, that size of puddle is generally a red flag situation, or at the very least a safety car. That's even before we get onto spray, which is so much better on PCars - the FM6 video just looks so unrealistic in comparison.

Night time is closer, but even so I'd give this to PCars. For some reason, the beam angle on the FM6 headlights is very narrow without the extra distance you'd expect to gain from a beam like that. It's almost as if someone has retrofitted Lucas lamps into a Pagani, and almost feels like they're trying to cover up a loss of graphical performance somewhere.

Sorry, but on this evidence I'm happy to stick to PCars for now.

Totally agree the interaction from the devs is incredible. There is a thread over on the official forums in regard to bad GPU usage of the new 980ti graphics card in SLi and th PC Lead Dev is talking one user through different settings to try to improve things. It's unheard of this sort of thing.

For some reason my replay didn't save properly, so Spiny is in a McLaren instead of his Bentley and Smokin is invisible so I couldn't show my battle with him.

I wonder if it had something to do with the Bentley being DLC? (I keep telling you all DLC is the work of Satan )

Whatever the reason, I think that video demonstrates why I enjoyed the racing last night

You could of at least put in my overtake on you at the same corner with a similar move lol.

Tried to defend the inside line while watching you in the mirror and quite simply missed my breaking point by some distance.

I noticed Spiny was in the McLaren on your replay as well.

I've been tweaking pCars on the pc today to run at 60fps

[smokinmasta]

You should pi55 60fps on your setup

I found turning down a couple of settings that seem to make no visual difference but massively boost performance. Got pretty much everything on Ultra apart from those and I can get 100+fps the majority of the time. Next time I'm on I'll check what they are and post back.
