Hi!
This forum is filled with simulator fans so I guess that some of you do racing simulators too. In the serious racing simulator genre there is a lot of competition and the fans are as rabid as the FSX vs XPlane etc
There is a new racing simulator coming up called Project C.A.R.S (rather silly name but still). They have a model where the game that is right now in Alpha state is accessible if you "join the team" for a fee that you decide. There is a Junior level for 10 Euro or the "Team member" level for 25 Euro that is the most common. Then you get weekly builds of the game - as it is right now. The developers call this a "community delevoped game" and the developers are EXTREMELY active in their forum that is only accessible to "team members". I joined yesterday and posted my fist post last night. Already the lead developer has put a "like" on the proposal and the forum just bursts with positive energy... As soon as something is done at a basic level it gets into the weekly build and you can try it at your own risk, bugs and all...
Something so think about? (and yes - it's DirectX 11

)
An image from the game... Suck on that detail
