****Official rFactor 2 Thread****

I never really got into rFactor; I think I just got bored with what there was available at the time to expand it and the lack of a decent controller. I think rFactor 2 will be more technically impressive and hopefully I'll find something for it this time round.
 
Yeah the Spa video looks superb. I prefer physics to take priority over graphics in race sims but the visuals look perfectly adequate, no real need for DX11 fluff in this.

There is a need for dx11 fluff. any game that is trying to aim for realism, needs to have realistic graphics as well IMO as it helps with immersion.
 
If rfactor 2 had dx11, we would see dirt 3/2 like water splashes, maybe better lighting and shadows. Thats the only extreme benefits that i will see dx11 bring if it was in rfactor 2.

Which is vital in a racing right? When its wet and raining in the track i expect splashes to affect the visbility of the car behind me
 
Am looking forward to this game allot, am looking at buying a G27 at some point and getting into racing games. What's the community like with rfactor? Will they be welcoming of a noob that's after some clean racing, or mostly people who look down on new comers to the genre?

if you see my posts/videos before in this thread, rfactor 2 has done extremely well to make roads look realistic WITH wet track becoming dry without using DX11. With the spray coming of behind a car, i dont know how its made but iv seen dx9/dx10 do good "spray" effects. Include that with a good high detailed effect of spray on the wind screen will do just as good as dirt 3 did with DX11. For example GTR2 and race 07. There wet driving experience is pretty much spot on. I think rfactor 2 is taking the same approach.

Get a g27 while OCUK has there 17.6% discount, they wont be bringing another G series wheel for a while or so iv heard. So i dont think they will go down in price. I bought mines for £210 from ocuk nearly a year ago now! Enjoyed it! well...first one failed, logitech kindly sent me a 2nd one for free.

I dont know much about the community of rfactor, i play with a few friends via hamachi or i use my 2nd pc to set up a dedicated server for the day. But the modding community is still thriving and you can download lots of cars and tracks from www.rfactorcentral.com :)

I occasionally join a reanult megane server, full of french people who speak very little english. They seem to instantly boot people who intentionally crash into other drivers. I was rubbish in that server, constantly running off and hitting others by accident. Seems they actually view replays and decide who to boot. So i guess it depends on which server you go on, they will take kindly to noobs.
 
hopefully the beta won't be long now. Having played rFactor quite a bit and being part of the modding scene i'm looking forward to seeing what rF2 can produce.

Has anyone seen project cars? its in very early beta right now but its looking very good - using the same engine as NFS-Shift but much more of a sim
