As some may have noticed, PCM.daily today reached member #10.000 which is simply an amazing milestone for us. The 'lucky' member who registered as #10.000 was Dallas40, a Spanish guy, and that happened at exacly 18:53 GMT. PCM.daily is now just not yet another website - it's an important PCM website which in many ways are setting the bar. We have given the English part of the PCM community new life with our exclusive news, we've been the first with the most important news, and this year, we've also released the most downloaded 2008 database for Pro Cycling Manager 2007. That said, it's all still 'work in progress', and we will do our best to do even better when the new PCM 2008 is released. I'd like to personally thank everyone for making this possible. This is not just the crew members, although they have been doing an amazing effort, but also all the active members who in every way make this site interesting to visit. I've said this before, but without the members, you, this site would be worth nothing. There's another milestone coming up, and it will most probably be reached this month, so it's definitely a good month for us. For the same reason, I hope to have "a Milestone Extra" ready whenever we reach the next record.
Again, thanks a lot. Feel free to post comments in the Comments section of this news article or in this forum thread.
Many of you have reported that Single Race-mode doesn't work with PCM.daily 08.DB. We've been looking into this and have come up with a solution - it's a 500 KB package including a new OfficialReleaseSingle.cdb plus the .bat-files which were missing from the V2 package. Extract the package to your main PCM folder, double click the SingleRace.bat-file and play all you want ;)
Update: I just found another screenshot. It's not exclusive, but I haven't seen in at other PCM websites before. See it here.
Today, I was contacted by the press department of Focus, the publisher of Pro Cycling Manager. He wanted to give me an exclusive screenshot, and I thought: 'Why not?'. So, although it's in no way revolutional, it's a screenshot of Pro Cycling Manager 2008 - and we haven't really got many of them yet. Also, it's exclusive to PCM.daily, and that's never a bad thing either ;) Along with it, I got some screenshots of the cover, including a new 3D version of the cover. I was also sent a press announcement about the game which states that it will be released on the 19th of June, not on the 20th as some sources have said. All screenshots of PCM08 can be found in our Screenshots section - including the new exclusive one :)
By clicking "Read More" you will get the full press release which was sent to me earlier today.
After more than 6000 downloads, we are now ready with the V2 version of our 2008 database. We have been listening to your critique and reports, and we hope that most of the things have been fixed now. This includes the career-ending bugs with too many teams invited to some races. We've also included some more 2008 stages, all made by Jaap90, and we have been updating the stats after the recent classics. We've also changed the matrix a little, so it complies more with Cyanide's logic. You will need to restart your career to get all fixes included. However, you can also choose to continue your career, but then you won't get all fixes included in this package.
With this, I don't think we're going to release more for PCM07. Next up is PCM08 :)
Jape, known for his save game editors for Pro Cycling Manager 2006, has done it again! Today, he finally decided to release the first stable version of his save game editor for Pro Cycling Manager 2007, PCM Dashboard, after it has went through a lot of testing by PCM.daily's members. With PCM Dashboard, you can change practically everything you need to change in a save game, and this is done through a very easy-to-use interface. PCM Dashboard is also very handy when it comes to story writing. With the tool, you can extract all sorts of data from the game, so they are ready to be posted at the forum.
If we go into detail, it's possible to edit the cyclists' form, moral, injuries, race programs, fatigue, contract, team role, speciality and their stats. Within the teams you can edit sponsor goals, race invitations, budget, salary cap and transfer cap -- and probably a bunch of things I can't remember right now. As said, all this is accesible through Jape's very well-designed interface, meaning that it should be easy to use by everyone.
One thing is very important, though -- read the manual which is included with the program. It explains pretty much everything. Another thing which is important to remember is to .. download the file. It's available here at PCM.daily - go download it! :)
