We've been pretty silent about the progress of the PCM.daily 2009 DB V2 for a while, mainly due to the intensive work we've been doing on the DB. However, with the Final Beta having been released today, it's time to lean back, watch the bug reports, and in about 1 week's time, fix them ;)

I'm not going to go into depth with the exact features of the DB just yet. However, main features are: 88 fully updated (roster-wise) 2009 teams, 68 new races, new 2009 profiles for Australian TT Championship, Tour Down Under, Tour de Langkawi, Vuelta al Tachira, GP di Lugano, GP de Marseille, the World Championship RR and TT - and the Giro d'Italia! You also get a very expanded equipment part with 77 frames, 67 wheels and 68 helmets. These have been linked to the teams, meaning that teams use the same equipment in PCM as they do in real life -- as far as possible. No more All-Cervelo ;) Of main features, we've also managed to implent 104 track riders to the DB, all with photos and realistic skills.

We've done far more than that, but as said, let's wait with the full feature list until later. Please keep in mind that all specific details might change before the final release -- I'm convinced they will, but only for the better ;)

I've been receiving some private messages about screenshots. With the Final Beta out, we'll make sure to publish some screenshots as soon as possible, probably tomorrow. This should give you an insight to what it looks like at the moment.

If you've any questions, don't hesitate with asking them in the forum. We're also still interested in accessory makers, and I'm sure we can always use a beta tester or two more ;) PM me if interested.
