PC2 Well that was a nice moment.

I loved PCars 1 on my lowly xbox one, 600 odd hours, TX wheel, really got me inspired into sim racing and now i'm running a PC...

I'll never be a fan of the way SMS do business...but. despite now having loads of sims as im on PC i picked up PCars 2 for £26...bargain so soon after release...

Anyway have set it up properly now and it runs great and i was driving round Silverstone and it was winter and 7am......and the steam rising off the track.....ermmm...incredible......

Worth my £26 right there....credit where credit is due...

But did you notice the trees still have leaves in winter? Oops.

Otherwise, yes, the seasonal & weather effects are pretty cool.

I find the trees look so horrible i've just stopped looking at them....they flicker and are the worst representation of trees i think i've ever seen...
People slag off 2D trees in games, but if 3D ones look like this then i'll take 2D thanks...

You need more shadow or track details. My trees don't flicker, i only notice the tree shadows spazzing out when they are really far away, like in a replay where the camera is very far, never when racing.

Perhaps here I agree with you.
Surprisingly, the trees in PC1 looked much more realistic.
The new 3D models reflect light very well and cast shadows, and they vary with the season. But the models themselves are very simple and there are not many of them. For this reason, I can not look at the Nordschleife in PC2, it's terrible.

That was on purpose. Artistic license... They felt the scene looked better that way.

It's a bug, going to patched according to the official forum.
For now i just ignore the trees.
