 As mentioned yesterday, the PCM.daily Expansion Pack is set to be released today. Since I've recently moved, my internet connection has gone from top of the class to quite sucky, but luckily, there's a few people helping getting the database uploaded.
If any of you have experience with creating a torrent, seeding it and have a good upload speed (above 10 mbit), please send me a PM.
While the rest of you are waiting, you can check out the feature list below.
Keep in mind that this is an early release. It's basically a slightly altered version of the 2012 DB for PCM12, and we plan on adapting and adding new features (e.g. teams and races) for the next release.
We should also mention that we did notice quite a few career bugs (in the game, not in the DB) while testing. Hopefully, these will be fixed by Cyanide in the next patch. For example, the rider panel is messed up in the World ITT Championship, and the calendar/scheduler doesn't work in the 2nd season.
