 A little late, and after the most eventful week in PCM.daily's history, here's the 28th edition of the Weekly News. It might not be the most interesting news, but I hope they are useful anyway ;)
PCM 07 Downloads
With the release of PCM Kicker New Generation Gold, the first working databases finally was released. The very first one was released by MKL, but had the disadvantage that the race names were in Dutch. Later, he released an international version, but before that was done, Dankan, the leader of the very popular PCM Spain 2006 Pack for PCM06, had released his Initial Mod v1. It contains real names for riders, teams and races, correct jerseys (includes the official jersey pack), photos for almost all riders and even a revised calendar, making the race dates more tue to real life. You can download it by clicking here.
Because of my exams I haven't had time to update the download database with all the new downloads, but it's worth mentioning that the German CyM Team has released another real name database. As with the Initial Mod it contains real names for riders, teams and races, but furthermore it contains other graphical updates such as real team logos, real race logos, and more. You can read more about the database on our forum and also find the link to the download:

Our own forum member, gwynvyd, has also made a database which is based on both the PPDB 07 (for PCM 06) and the Initial Mod (for PCM 07), meaning that the stats should now be nearly perfect for all teams and riders. You can read more about it on our forum.

PCMBenelux has once again made a Ultimate Shirts Package. Since the shirts from PCM06 are pretty much equal to the ones PCM07 it hasn't taken them long time to convert the old jerseys to the new game. Therefore, it's already available. Find it here: http://www.pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=25&thread_id=520
Impish has also made it possible to play the DL-versions in more languages than what Cyanide has made possible. Now, Danish, Portuguese and German is available and can be installed by simply replacing the Local.cdb in Pro Cycling Manager 2007\UserHome\AppData.
You can find all three languages in our Misc.-section: http://www.pcmdaily.com/infusions/pro_download_panel/download.php?catid=7
For those who have already reached Giro 'd Italia 2008 a fix for the race has been released by Cyanide. The game crashed in the beginning in the tour. With the fix you don't need to start a new career. You can read more about it here: http://www.cyanide-studio.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=53038 and download it here:

PCM Kicker Goes Excel
Impish has decided to work even more with his DB editing tools. In the future, it will be possible the edit the tables in Excel like with the converters for PCM06. Not much has been said about it yet, but knowing Impish's speed, this new feature will probably soon be available.
Site updates
As said, I have been quite busy with my exams, but we are of course always trying to imrprove the site anyway. First of all, we have changed our Main Navigation panel a little. Our "dead" PCM.daily League has been removed from the navigation, and we have added a link to one of our new features - The Toplist. The toplist shows you some of the more "fun" statistics - who has posted the most posts in the forum, which article is the most popular, etc.. You can find it in the Main Navigation-menu.
Secondly, we have started using a new Download Management System for our PCM 07 downloads. This makes it possible to comment on and vote for our downloads. If you need help I'd still advice you to use the forum, though ;)
Also, we have seperated our screenshots section and articles section into a PCM06 amd PCM07-part, making it easier for you to find what you need.
I've also modified the Donation-box a little. Now, it's possible to see a list of guys who have donated to our site through Paypal. For example, you can see that gwynvyd has donated 12 €, cmfos 10 € and Smoothie 1 € ;)

We will be back with more news soon. After all, this weekend is soon over ;) |
