Pro Cycling Manager - anyone played it

You don't need the middle mouse button

Just use alt+left mouse button

Thanks for that.

Inspired by the TdF run as ITT, I made one stage of the Paris nice a 170-180 km ITT, but my PC doesn't have enough memory to run 150 TTs at the same time.
And Mollema was ruling that stage with 56 fitness at 130km for me with Boom to come

yep i've experience that problem with really long TT experiments, once everyone is on the road my laptop throws its dummy out.

for some reason my game always crashes in the cobbled races.

I have a pretty good pc, so it is annoying.

Does it only crash when you race or when you simulate too?

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

just when I race.

as a result I tend to simulate a lot of cobble race sucks.

But sometimes I will race the entire p-r... and crash when the riders cross the line. try again this time 10km from the line.

At that point im over it and just simulate, and boom gets 13th instead of 3rd

the only races i even try now are PR and flanders. The rest I just simulate.

I get FPS lag and crashes occasionally. Happened twice in a row on M-SR. Maybe running it at 8x for 250km doesn't help.

 

[Timmy-loves-Rabo]

well yeah other the positioning and water bottle collecting i generally x8 the whole race until maybe the last 30-40km in the cobbles.

Hi quick question,

I just bought the new PCM 2011 and I have made a custom database. I saved the file and exported it but when I get into the options on the games userface there is no sign of my database, only the official release??anybody know whats up?

Thanks

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

MSR is the worst... this is also due to the makers of the profile.

If the slope and corners are too detailed you get too many curves and slopes on a short distance which ruins the FPS.

I can run RVV/Roubaix tho

Well I had nothing to do and ordered the game as well after not playing for two years, will be interesting...

As I usually take a small team to work them to the top (consequently forgetting about the game 1 or 2 years on my way, but who cares), I was browsing for some biiiiiiiig DB's.

Biggest I found was the Full cycling manager DB. Is it any good statwise / evolutionwise over the years and such?

I will get the game tomorrow, will be awesome. I think I am gonna take a small Portuguese team and bring it all the way to ProTour level with only Portuguese riders.

How the hell did Valverde get back ? Did you just put him in the DB or did he actually came back in 2012 ? And such a shame Dexia doesn't exist anymore

 

[will10]

PCMDaily 2011 DB, he's a free agent so normally gets signed by someone for 2012. He had his usual awful day in the mountains on Hautacam, some good riding from our team put him out of contention

also lol nibali winning the tour by 4 minutes.

[Havetts]

83 climbing on Quintana, I have him in my squad too. Is that with or without training camps?

 

[hrotha]

Dexia? But the short name is KAT (Katyusha, I'd assume)? Is that a licencing issue? But then, you say it's the PCMDaily database. I'm confused.

 

[Dekker_Tifosi]

New sponsors get into the game after a few seasons, replacing the old teams.
However, the old 3-letter abbr. is held. So you can still recognize what the old team was.

That's great. I always thought one of the biggest flaws of PCM is how static things are. This is a step in the right direction (eventually I'd like to see teams folding and new ones popping up).

Tryed to get him to round out my excellent Skil team but he decides to go Saxo instead I think he is 81 mountains already.

What database do you use, the PCMDaily one? If so, he starts out at 74 with 5 stars potential (iirc) for climbing, so possibly he could go to 82 +/- on climbing so thats why I was wondering if the stat of 83 was including training camps .

Yeah use the PCM daily DB never had on my team though so have no idea what star potential he has.

There's a 2010 db for 2009. I just use that one. It's good enough. Not as detailed as the last one I downloaded, '08 for '07, so going real small teams isn't really recommended.

Sponsors change over the years in PCM11, but for some reason the short name doesn't change. So even though the team may have been renamed from Katusha to Dexia, the short name remains KAT.
