PC Racing Sims |OT|
- Thread starter Big Takeover
- Start date
So that's the RSR and the M6 GTE cars coming to rF2. About time this game started getting some more quality first party content.
iRacing season 3 schedule:

The Radical SR8 now being free is great. It was always a series I was interested in trying but never purchased the car as the participation numbers for it were dead. It should be well populated now.

Typical games industry.
What are the new features? Night and weather.
What do we show? Daytime and sunny.
x4fab's headlight mod has received a big update.
v0.1.20 • Configs for cars, plus main config with some general settings; • Tyres damage and deformation (doesn't work in replays); • Default light range in increased to 240 meters; • Set AC to work on a secondary monitor if needed; • Small fixes and optimizations.
Visual tyre flex is now a thing too.
Visual tire flex in a headlight mod... How?
As for ACC these are the options available on the demo rigs:
So rain is an option, someone just needs to capture the bloody thing.

So not only is there rain, there's also a race at sunset and a far more interesting track than Monza! It's just like racing anything online the most popular events are always well known tracks and easy to drive cars.Visual tire flex in a headlight mod... How?

Turn random weather on in a PCars lobby and watch 1/2 the field quit as soon as it loads in rain...
Super impressive stuff. This amazing game keeps on getting amazinger.

Another version of Le Mans (actually an update to Tiago Lima's one) with a night option should be coming to Reboot soon. Or Jim might upload it to RD, thinking about it.
Wowzers.
Competizione looks fine, was kinda expecting it to impress me a little more. Agreed that that footage is the most bland thing possible. Feckin Monza man.
"Fine" is the perfect way to describe that clip tbh, which is to say that it basically just looks like AC with a different HUD (that HUD does look nice actually - one of the two things I truly dislike about AC is its stock HUD options). The only other thing I dislike about AC is supposedly getting 'fixed' with ACC as well (competitive multiplayer and leaderboards), so more of the same is "fine" by me!
No night, no weather...
There's nothing overtly wrong with it, but that could be Assetto Corsa with some extra hand animations and wobbly webbing. It looks nice enough (just like AC looks nice enough) but I was kind of expecting more from UE4, more things to make it look more real rather than a videogame. Dust on the windshield, more alpha effects... I don't know.
Slightly concerned that they aren't officially showing night or weather or replays or other racing cars yet. I get the feeling early access might slip to 2019.
UNDERWHELMED!

Are they joking?
This is what they decide to showcase? I have no words lol.
Maybe I've just come to the conclusion that cockpit view looks robotically shit in anything other than VR.
Pre-alpha though. Let's cut them some slack.
But for the love of God, show some fucking night and weather!
Anyway, ACC is already dead: THE GR SUPRA IS COMING TO AC.

It's the shadows filling in behind the safety fences and other objects. At 0:56 you can see that quite clearly on the left, in the grandstands. It creates a shimmering effect (also probably just an AA thing).
So yeah.. it's not super impressive, but it is pre-alpha, and you would hope these things will improve over time. I must admit I was hoping for a bit more of a wow factor, especially given the rise of night time and weather mods in the original AC lately which make the game look pretty darn good for its' age and where it stands in the market.
My guess is we'll still be with Assetto Corsa for a long while for the sheer flexibility it offers since modders will have no real reason to switch to Competizione if it's more difficult. Competizione will end up being Kunos' place for online racing and more of a competitor to iRacing when it comes to GTs.
Anyways, knowing me, I'll be there day 1 for the alpha/beta/gamma
Mmmm... about what? They surely must be able to show night and weather since they have it running on the public demo pods at E3. Well, sunset, not night. You get the idea.
One of the Kunos guys said it on their forum. Not exactly as their hands are tied but more footage will come out as the publisher sees fit.
Yep. Unless something's changed I didn't think they had a publisher for this game either since they can self publish on steam again.
Day to night transition footage:
Do English speakers not care about sim racing anymore or something :P ?
This all looks fantastic by the way, chomping at the bit for early access. Gimme!

It certainly shows promise, even at this early rough & ready stage.
Not sure about the suspension and body roll. Something looks... off.
Haha. We go from 'this ACC build is shit' to 'ohh night and rain, ACC is awesome' in 5 posts!
The amount of idiots on the internet bemoaning tne lack of cars & tracks is hilarious.ACC is not AC 2!
Footage is as expected; looks a step up from AC and runs smooth. MotoGP 18 shows the rain effects off well enough and I'd expect Kunos to do as good a job with UE4. Will pass judgement on ACC once the beta drops on Steam.

Man that looks so good already. Someone with a keener eye may be able to notice anomalies with the presentation, but I'd honestly believe you if you said this was releasing next month (not early access) if that "pre-alpha gameplay footage" watermark wasn't there.
Also, that HUD is dope.
Blame Kunos/505 for hyping night and weather for the past six months then releasing the first official footage as a dry daytime hotlap that frankly looked no better than Project CARS. Initial disappointment was perfectly understandable and entirely justified.
:P
There isn't much wrong graphically with any of the current crop of sims IMO though, plus it's not like if they pump them up to 11 any of us can run it at 90fps in VR anyway!
Been on the official SimXperience forums to checkout Forza 7 news and we are getting full motion, simvibe and Accuforce support coming very soon! Gonna rip out that T10 developed FFB and use a proper one straight away, will be interesting to see if it's just the physics engine that's giving meh FFB or they just don't understand how to do it properly.

Cheers for the heads up! Was intending to watch the stream but didn't know about the comp. :)
Can't wait to hear about it.
Any insights would might for an interesting discussion in the FM7 and the Racing Game Physics thread as well.
I do not understand Studio 397.
Their Endurance car pack is being released in less than 24 hours and they live streamed a preview whilst I was sleeping.
Is this news in the news section of their website? No
Is this news anywhere on their website? No
The only link is on Marcel Offerman's Twitter account.
Does the link work now? No
Is the stream saved on Twitch? No

Thankfully a friend on Discord pointed me towards the trailer at least: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2ItRsbNBB8

Is this not out yet? I clicked the link in the trailer description but it only takes me to the old GT3 stuff on steam.
I've seen it before, it's just for the playseat adapter, £180 for a few bits of metal!
Same shit, different dev team. I wonder if they know how to market their sim at times...even finding the rF2 store for DLC is stupidly complex for no real reason. The current DLC isn't even listed on the front page for rF2 FFS.
Here is a link to their stream in which the first 15 minutes of the 35 minute video is a static screen: https://www.facebook.com/rFactor2/videos/1886500281400875/

That's not what the link says - it says it's for the actual NLV3 unit.
It's a scam, obviously.
Or is it..?
