The end of an era...

If he still wants those ray-traced leaves then UE5 is probably a good bet

If this is a way to sneakily have a better trees thread for Ian's new project, I approve! Also, what about Saab cars?!?

Then I say goodbye quietly too.

Excellent first post, welcome to the forum

UE5 seems ok but that’s not the first think I expect from a racing sim.
I’d prefer to hear about an extremely detailed physics engine, always more accurate. Honestly I don’t really care about realistic looking leaves flying around.

I do think it's time for a generational leap with game engines and graphics though, and there is plenty still to be done with physics. If you look around, all the pieces are out there - Unreal 5 level graphics, physics that could take the best from seta tyre model, BeamNG soft body and collisions, even Wreckfest can teach us a thing or two about colliding with the environment. No one sim has it all, but a truly next gen sim needs to.
All the current sims are on ageing game engines so the scene is ripe for someone to do what PC1 did a decade ago.

yes you are right. and just today also read that that Kunos Simulazioni are developing Assetto Corsa 2 in house using their own technology / developed engine (similar to what SMS did). They say they will not use Unreal because they need greater flexibility

I guess if you really want to, you can do anything and develop a game engine from scratch. I do hope we can see Project Cars Revival in the future.

In the meantime I hope EA don't pull the plug on PC2 and this forum (great resource). I'm still enjoying the game and race with my mates and online.

Don't. You wouldn't want to anger Iannah.

Both 1 and 2 got delisted though. They pulled the plug on a possible new SMS game as well and the company got dissolved into the greater EA.
I would say "pulling the plug" is an understatement...

Once you get past about 6 posts or so (i think it's 6) then you can insert links and images. All the good stuff.

They've not just pulled the plug, but they've gone ahead and cut the end of the plug right off. Then cut the power cord into small pieces.. and bent the pins on the power unit where the cord plugs into the device.

^^^ Then they took all those pieces and put them in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory in the cellar with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
