* Xbox One: Set correct thread names
* Xbox One: Force main thread onto Core 0
* Xbox One: Fix release linker error with reflection guid
* Xbox One: Updates for release config

CL337726 [Common/Renderer]

DX11 / Xbox One - Unused shader parameter setting optimisations.
DX11 / Xbox One - Vertex Shader unused input parameter optimisations.
DX11 / Xbox One - internal StretchRect no longer needs a constant buffer.
Xbox One - use write combined memory for dynamic geometry.

These optimisations apply to both PC and Xbox One.

Great initial progress with AI pit strategy, I've already hooked up the core logic between the AI systems and the app pit manager and set up some basic tests whereby I tell the pit manager to fill the tank to full, the AI automatically pulls into the pit lane/spot, refuels for an extended period and then leaves and continues racing. The same test is done with just 1 litre of fuel added, and the same pit is very very brief with logging showing how much fuel goes in. So we've successfully tied the AI systems into the pit manager. Next up will be adding a lot more logic to the AI to make decisions on when to pit for repairs and tyre changes, both for weather and wear reasons.

Peter and I have also been helping Tim with details on the physics systems and PhysX to aid him with profiling work.

[i]GamingBolt managed to speak to creative director Andy Tudor and we asked whether the developer would be aiming for 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second for Project CARS on the PS4 and Xbox One. He stated that, “Our aim is always for the best gameplay experience possible and if that means 1080p/60fps is achievable without compromising ‘awesome stuff happening whilst racing’ then fantastic. So it’s the target yes, but it’s something every developer has to balance nearer to launch and it’ll be no different for ourselves.”

Pitbox:
* Added interface for animations to detect if pit lane/garages on left or right of track.
* Additional PitProgress management code
* Fix for PitProgress leak
* Test data - Pit Engineer: Animation sequence + bav file updated to generate an animation bank
* Processing for hrdf animation sequence scripts.
* Added an animation script for the refuelling sequence.
* Updated the pit_gaman_01 to generate an animation bank.

Estoy mirando lo que tienen planificado hasta Abril. En Marzo es cuando ya tendrán más solida la versión de las consolas. En Marzo será cuando las versiones de XboxOne y PS4, estén a la par de la versión de PC, con todo rulando excepto algún problema de rendimiento que tengan que pulir (cosa normal en esta etapa de desarrollo). Es en Abril cuando se pase a fase Alpha y cuando se sepa mejor este asunto de la resolución.

One of those things is an off-road Rally mode, which is off the table at the time of writing but could well be reconsidered once the game is finished. "Rally has a number of cars, locations, gameplay mechanics and technical features that all need to be in perfect sync in order to do this unique motorsport justice," reveals Tudor. "So for now we’re concentrating on ‘tarmac-based’ racing and hope to get to provide Rally through further content. Of course though, due to our unique community collaboration, we’ll re-assess it nearer the time."

Today I've worked on AI pit strategy and written the start of the logic for deciding if the AI should pit. It takes all damaged and worn components and works out how much of the race is left, how much time is lost with each component in its current state and if its worth pitting just to repair that component. It also calculates if its sensible to also repair other components whilst in the pit. All these tests generate a weighted list of items to repair and if over a threshold, the AI makes the decision to pit or not. It also weighs up weather conditions and best tyre choice.

What this means in practice ( once the code is complete and tweaked), is we'll be able to race long sessions with the AI and they'll pit for damage, pit for weather conditions changes and pit for fuel strategy, making the whole race much more believable and competitive and fun.

You'll start to see reactive behaviour such as if there's an impact on the first corner, cars will work out that with damage sustained they are better off pitting and changing out the damaged parts rather than continuing on, which is exactly what happens in a normal race and when the weather changes and rain starts to fall, the AI cars will begin to pit and change their tyres.

[Xbox One]
• First playable Xbox One version – some issues will still remain, but it’ll be running well enough to play
• This will include conversion of 3D maths to use DirectXMath in situations where doing so improves performance over built in maths.
