Is this your Giro? Is it very different to the 2015 Giro?

It is the 2015 Giro, released by Eyolfur

Is there a link to the profile and screen shots? As I can't find it on the forum.

Only recently released though

Hell it's all in Frenchy language, it's ok I'll just download it with your next update.

Okay, so as you all know there won't be an database based on this one by the pcmdaily database team, so I'd like to hear some proposals of things to add or improve for v2.

In general something to make up for not getting an advanced pcmdaily database along the database

Just expand the amount of teams and races a bit more. Some teams that jump to my mind are Torku, Budget Forklifts, Avanti and Wiggins. Having Tour of Yorkshire included would be nice as well, but I don't know if anyone has made it yet.

BTW, will V2 be the next update or can we expect a post-LBL or post-Romandie stat update? 0=)

I was thinking of adding a few teams, yes.

Not sure about those Aussie teams though, unsure if they fit in our focus, although they have ridden some races in 2015 that are in the DB though, but they likely won't in the remainder of the season I'm afraid.

V2 should be the next update, and the last one in a while as well. (Except for a bugfix but hopefully we don't have to release one )

And some more equipment would be nice, by the way. Not that I really know if Danny can do it, but would be nice, as it is the only thing it misses to be daily level as far as i know

Pleae don't overlook Alexandre Geniez which has won the Tro Bro Leon and may benefit from a slight update in Cobbles (58 => 70 maybe ?)

I added some more helmets to the db easily, also I tried to add aero helmets and it's working very good.

I hate to have just 3 type of helmets in the game

70 is definitely too much. Tro Bro Léon is the only "cobbled" race he's ridden and it's hardly a cobbled race. I never understood why it's considered a cobbled race while Strade Bianche isn't.

About the Aussie teams (Avanti is actually New-Zealand). They usually ride quite a few Asian races like Taiwan, Taihu Lake etc. Aren't those in the db? The China Tours etc.?

Yes those are, as are some early season races(Herald Sun, New Zealand).

But my worry is everything in between. From halfway March to halfway September I don't think they ride much from the ''DB Calendar''.

I gotta double-check that though.
A European or US team would have my preference over them, tbh.

@Captain CoinCoin
Geniez' COB got upped a bit, since Tro Boro is in fact a (slightly) cobbled race in PCM, but it is more like dirt roads than really cobbles.

Suggestions are still very much welcome!

To make things easier I will put down a list of features and I can already say that it will be a really big update

- 1.5 and 1.75 features +
- New Teams (5 is up for consideration)
- New Riders
- Cyclist Photos
- 2014 Equipment --> 2015 Equipment (not expected to get finished in this release)
- Diverse Helmet Selection
- 2015 Shirts to replace 2014 ones
- Accessories, Casquettes to avoid pink caps (for all)
- Big Background Jerseys
- Mini Maillots
- New Leader Shirts
- New Variants - feat. Eyolfur Giro Variant
- Updated stats, with especially a lot of changes in HI and FTR stats
- Overall flexibility of Database Tables
- more stuff

So what do you think about this and if you would like to help, then please pm me for the information, In case we'll need help from shirt makers, then I will set up a post in the '2015 Real Jerseys' thread.

More races??? Like as Tour of Yorkshire, Tour of Croatia,...

We have an eye on such races yes, right now we only need to expand the East European teams/races and British races, as they both lack an amount where their calendar is diverse

As said pm me if you want to help, it could be a stage maker wanting to create certain variants, a jersey maker for new NC's etc. Just come with an suggestion and we'll see if there is a chance of it getting included

When the update goes out?

The release will feature Jesleyh 's post Giro update, so it will be between the week after Giro d'Italia and before the summer holidays, so first week in June is the best guess

This long wait is mostly cause I singlehanded is in charge of making equipment, so at current pace this is my best guess. I will make some posts in various sections, giving info about what could be included in next release

Ok, that is good

Okay so never mind my previous post. Because of Jesley being busy with other stuff, we will release the v2 into smaller pieces and add finished equipment along the way in smaller updated containing latest stages and jersey's.

All we can reveal atm is that PCM15 is the main reason for doing it this way
