Upgrade BMW 1M Stage 3 - I don't have it in game

[yusupov]

could the good car people here explain 'stages' are? different levels of bodykits? i see the new mclaren has basically an f1 driving system, or at least the looks of one. do stages also change interior?

[Scalon]

@yusupov the different stage should only imporove/change the performance i.e. your car lose weight and/or gets more horsepowers/torque. The interior should be the same

0....6.5 ha, nice trick

It means that release is gonna come later. How is that a good thing? Of course, there were no promises and release date was just an assumption of community, so no one to blame. But, man, that's tricky, cus it was strong and logical assumption. I just thought, that mp is surely coming within 3 weeks. Suppose it might take longer since now

[ZioYuri78]

My impression or AI now is more better?

[Talkie Toaster]

I no longer have the option to install different 'Stages' on cars, am I missing something? All cars only give me standard options in terms of performance.

Stages have different suspension settings and chassis stability improvements. Some stage 3's have a Turbo that you can control the boost of using your number keys. 0- 0% boost, 10- 100% boost, 8- 80% (standard)

The exterior looks the same aside from ride height.

The interior changes on some cars, like the E30 (stock gauges to Stack gauges and it gets a rollcage).

great update but that throttle issue is still relevent, you know, that one that no one likes? it makes driving higher horsepower cars more difficult. it's not as bad as it used to be, but I can pick up that it's still there, but I'll just let Empty Box demonstrate it. keep in mind, not as bad as this anymore but it still exists http://youtu.be/LhD8bxJQyuw?t=3m42s

[IMPERIAL]

The implementation of the Ferrari 599XX EVO in the simultator should be declared world heritage by Unesco.
It is really a masterpiece.
Conratulations DEV team!

A sort of political trick, here's nothing really, but we made it look like a lot. :)

[rafalis]

the bad news is that the bmw race is still unplayable due to the AI completly crazy...

[pennarguy]

Yep, the crap ai are making it hard not to leave the game and wait till they get decent ai's for the single players and get multi player sorted. Just tried a few different tracks and the ai's are still as crazy, it just becomes frustrating. I think that it will be a long time before the final release comes along...there is plenty to do for sure in the sim', but a lot of shouting is going on for new cars and tracks, which must put the dev's under pressure and takes them away from the basics, like career, multi-player, ai's. The physics and FFB are sound enough as we know, so a good platform to build on. Being early release nobody is expecting it to be all sorted, but I think that things like ai's should come before cars on the priority list.

The new version is a GT3 car, so it's basically a racing car, not the default stock one.
