Weekly News #53
With Rebellin winning the Paris-Nice, the first important cycling race has ended. It's time to relax, and there's of course no better way of relaxing than reading the Weekly News here at PCM.daily ;)
7th 2008 DB A few weeks ago, I said that we wouldn't have one week without a new 2008 database, and this week is no exception. The French guy, Freire02, has released a package with a database by him and graphics by Tourdedoping, known from this forum. Compared to some of the other packs, it's rather small and only contains the most neccessary things - but then again, that can be a good thing ;) I don't know if it's any good, but you can give it a try by downloading it here.
World Cup groups announced As some of you may have noticed, Nebula, a rather unknown French guy, is hosting the official World Cup in Pro Cycling Manager 2007 this year. Although there have been a lot of problems ever since the first announcement - for example the fact that announcements often only are posted in French - the list of groups have now been announced, and the first groups are going to battle it out from the 21st until the 28th of March. You can view the groups at the official forum. A quick look-through of the list of participators, it doesn't seem like PCM.daily is majorly represented ;)
Sisbos_02 releases graphical update Sisbos02, known from the official forum, has released the first edition of his graphical package which is supposed to change the look of PCM dramatically. As far as I can see (on the screenshots), the update makes the general appearance of the game more blue. You also get a bunch of other updates. For example, you get a lot of Miya's material (helicopter, updated frame, etc.), a photo pack by Andecal23, a new newspaper look, a new background -- and a bunch of other stuff. The file size is 139 MB, so, well, it should contain quite a lot of stuff. You can download it right here where you can also see some screenshots.
Some people have been reporting that it makes the game crash, no matter which DB you're using. So, be careful. Sisbos_01 has reacted to this by releasing a small file which you can download here. Some people have said that it doesn't fix the problem, though, so it's a bit risky to install it ;)
Get yourself a Cyanide cycling jersey The moderator of the official French forum, sebduth, has announced a cycling jersey which is made by Cyanide. It's available for c. 35 € (for some reason, it's +/- 35 €), and for those money you get a red/white/black cycling jersey with Cyanide's and Focus' logos on. If you're interested in buying it, go to this thread and write your name, how many shirts you want and in what size you want it / them in. In the same link, you can also see the "digital" version of the jersey. I wonder if Cyanide is out of funds? ;)
PCM.daily is searching for a programmer With 7500 users it should be possible to find just one programmer. PCM.daily is now searching for a programmer who's willing to help out the site by making a few new features. The current crew got lots of ideas, but don't have the neccessary skills needed to make the ideas real :) Therefore, if you're interested, send me, CrueTrue, a Private Message or contact me through the "Contact" form, MSN or E-Mail. We don't have any specific requirements (except programming skills), so just apply if you feel you will be able to help us.
