Automatic Downloader/Updater for Project CARS 2

If you have purchased into the Project CARS 2 development, as I have, then you will know that in its infancy the game can be rather annoying to keep updated! Every build must be downloaded individually, with periodic clean installs required. It can be a hassle to keep up with what version you have, what version you need, and the correct path to get there. Not anymore!

Of course SMS will be making their own streamlined process for updates, and then later on the game will be updated through Steam, but what about the here and now? Check out the Project CARS 2 ATDIU (Automatic Torrent Downloader, Installer and Updater)!

Project CARS ATDIU was developed by Teemu Kosinen and Thomas Taschler from sga-gaming.com. I've been using it for weeks now, and it's been fantastic. A must have for any pCARS2 tester until a more official solution is released.

Project CARS - Setting up X360 Controller w/ Stock Calibration and Driving!

There has been a lot of talk saying Project CARS is complete rubbish with a controller. I've even had some people accuse me of driving with a wheel in video's I'd said I'm driving with my X360 controller. In this video I clearly, and definitively prove that Project CARS works absolutely fine with a controller and no assists. I start the video by setting up the buttons on the controller, showing I did not change any of the calibrations, and then showing that the game is set to realistic damage and driving physics.

I then take three laps around Watkins Glen GP in the E30 M3, a car with no electrical assists. After the race, I exit back out, and show you again the controller that I use, and the realism settings, to leave no shadow of a doubt that this, and other video's on my channel were clearly using the X360 controller. It's a harsh reality, but inability to drive a car in game with a controller boils down to either lack of skill, or a worn out controller. In the case of the latter, you can use deadzones to greatly improve your drive. For the former, just practice smooth application of the throttle and brakes.

One of Ferris Bueller's Friend's Dad's Cars is For Sale!

If you have a cool $125k sitting around, this is your opportunity to look like a multi-millionaire! The real 250 GT California Spyder would set you back about $7,000,000, so this car is a steal! Recreated in such accurate detail, the cars builder was given a cease and desist letter by Ferrari, and only 11 cars were ever made! This is a two owner car, and I sure wish I had the cash to pick it up!

Automation Has Finally Come to Steam!!

I've been playing Automation for a long time... since before build 199, when I uploaded my very first Automation video to YouTube. The game has undergone a lot of changes since then, but all of them positive! Back when I started playing, you only had an engine builder, and not even that many options! You had I4, and V8, that's it. No turbo's, no cars, nothing. I still loved the game then.

I've had the opportunity to see the game grow from that, to having turbochargers, to having a rudimentary chassis builder, to having an advanced car builder, to being released on Steam as a fully featured car engineering simulator!

Sure, there's still a lot that isn't available yet, the tycoon side of the game is just not starting to be developed, but I've already got my moneys worth from the game! I've played it probably hundreds of hours before it even got on Steam, and I'll be sure to play it hundreds more as it is developed even further!

This is an Early Access title you can trust. It has been faithfully developed for over two years now, and the updates are coming regularly, with awesome results every time! This might never be a blockbuster game, but for those of us who dream of building our own cars, it is a godsend.

If you, like me, has wished for a game where you could design your own car, or a modern version of the old game Detroit, then it is your civic duty to buy this game and support it! Despite this not being a cash cow genre, the developers have dedicated their lives to making this game a success, and they deserve to prosper for their efforts! They are supporting our dreams to be creative, so we should support them!
