ok thanks, you win

Rather than me giving you the information, lets play the game of you finding out which of the UKSom lads were on the dev teams, which one works for rFactor and whilst you at it work out which of our lads works for codemasters

 

The complete utter reality is that this is the same argument as the Heat > rFactor debate, and if it was up to me and most of the other UKSom lads we would be moving onto a better sim, and the time will come where we do move however it is completely pointless moving onto rF2 as I already touched upon. The tyre model is great, completely agree. Dynamic track bull**** would only make the racing worse on short ovals as people don't like being tapped wide as it is. Chassis flex, yeah great!! Whoopdy fukin doo!! Lets have chassis flex on a sim that doesn't simulate inboard suspension. Thats any new F2 chassis out the window! Better weather, yet again a cool idea but if people struggle to drive around a dry shale track god help them in the snow! Ive raced leagues with weather plugins and its brilliant, I loved it, again the reality is that people dont like it because not everyone is to the same skill level/knowledge level. So again thats out of the window. As I said, and as all of the people with anything to do with modding will say.... Credit to the all the lads who moved the classics onto corsa... Theres no way any of the UKSom stuff will be moving onto anything else until a sim worthy of the huge man hours comes out.... whether its RF2 in the future or even if its something still in the pipelines

So you can't give me their names then? Surely that's easier unless you made that bit of information up?

All of that is your opinion, which is fine, but as far as I'm aware you don't speak for the mod creators as you're just a user who's scared to embrace the future...or even present, good luck living in the past.

Nice to see you know so much about RF2... Unfortunately 99% of the features you speak of are useless, hence the classics going to corsa. Being from that kind of background knowing the team behind the classics I know for a fact they would of gone rF2 if it was worthy of the cause, also 3 of the UKSom lads were on the rF2 dev team and one of them works for them so reality is that if the move was worthy enough we would all do it, reality is.... it isn't.

 

To put things into perspective for everyone, a huge percentage of people on here can hardly run rFactor and wish we still run heat! Until the user base gets big enough to move onto another platform we would have to stick with rFactor another few years anyway! In the meantime, iRacing brings those of us with a graphics card 'Dirt' at some point this month

Vastly improved Tire Model

Chassis Flex

Better Weather

Fully Dynamic Road Surfaces

Improved AI (for those that like to race offline)

Hardly useless if you want to drive in game as close to the real thing as possible and then the aforementioned upcoming improvements from Studio397. Also who are the 3 UKSom guys that worked on RF2 please?

You can't live in the past on machines that can hardly run rf1, what are these same people on Windows XP still? Same tired argument when it was Heat -> rFactor1, people need to move with the times it's as simple as that, you can't stay on rF1 forever so be it RF2, Assetto Corsa, Automobilista or another game it needs to happen one day. As for a user base then surely it's already here? Anyone who wants to drive Short Ovals will have more luck finding you in a recent game/engine than one which is 10years old and not supported any more.

RF2 has so many advanced features over rF1 that would make short circuit racing much better, it's beyond time to try something new. If not a move to RF2 then you will have to move on at some point anyway, thankfully someone has started a classic hot rod mod for Assetto Corsa which is proving to be a hit, hopefully that could sway some of you to change your minds.

Any news on whether these Mods/Tracks will be converted for rfactor2? The game itself has been ready a long while and with the recent new partnership with Studio397 it's going to receive a boost (DX11, VR, Documentation for Modders etc). Would be great if UKDirt could move forward with this at some point but I understand it could be a bit of work, but IMO very much worth it Thanks
