Trees

speaking of graphic quality, did you see that all trees, even those close to the track, are simple 2D textures "spinning"? Project cars 2 is not like that, it seems to me

pCars 2 trees may look nice when up close but they pop up are being drawn infront of you and update. I think 2D if done well is ok as less GPU time and less distracting.

The 3D trees in PC2 were done to be able to support "season changes" (rather than having the old school method of different "versions" of the same track). I don't believe AMS2 will be using the "season" capability of the engine which means they don't necessarily need all of the trees to be 3D.

2d trees, x trees/star trees in general are common in sims and even other aaa titles if you take a very close look from the top of objects. That's not to say there won't be 3d trees in key spots in later versions? Plus some x-trees can look very good from inside the car. The debate of graphic quality vs physics/key features of the sim will continue forever. Honestly, I think AMS1 is still a top sim as far as the feel of it.

Well, at least its a good tree simulator as the madness engine is ♥♥♥♥ for simracing

Yeah, trees are not important in a sim, but it is 2020, you are expected to evolve in terms of visual fidelity and that pretty much starts with features that so far were considered less, like trackside visuals.

i think trees are important we are talking about PC sim with high powered GPUS.IN 2020.2d trees are a fine standard for consoles.but for the PC it should implement its full potential .2d trees is not ok with me for a PC SiM. Im STILL BUYING THIS SIM BUT IM ENTITLED MY OPINON. SORRY CAPS AND SPELLING.LOL
