rFactor 2 Track Progress

Hi all. Just thought I'd take a couple of minutes to get you all up to date as to the current state of the tracks that will/should/may be included with rF2.

All but two of the tracks have gone through their second (Beta) art pass. This is mainly to get all the tracks to a common visual level. Normally what happens during development is that you learn and refine your procedures and techniques as you go, and so the later art ends up looking much better than the earlier. Obviously we don't want to ship things in that state, so we take some time to even everything out.

Once all the tracks have received this second pass they will all get one last pass before entering Beta testing. This will make sure they all have all the new features and elements that came online during the second pass, and any final glitz we can manage to squeeze in. We're talking days per track here, not weeks...

Finally, once that is done, and depending on how much time we have left before Gjon decides it's time to ship, we may be able to even add another track to the final list.

And then of course, in typical ISI style, we have a number of tracks that we'll be adding post release to keep you all busy....

So, that's where we are and generally where we're going. Luc Van Camp (SLN) and I still have a lot of work to do, but we're starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel now. Check back from time to time and we'll try to drop a note and let you all know what we're up to when we can.

Cheers....

 

I'd like our work SHANGHAI could be one of the offical circuit of rF2.

 

Thanks for the Update, Scott! Much appreciated.

 

I know due to licensing of tracks it may not happen.. but will any real tracks be available on release.?

also. for future modding .. is there still a Locations folder for tracks, or has the format changed a bit.?
and still using .SCN, .gdb, and .tdf files...?

Thanks for the updates..

 

We already saw an Estoril screenshot Slim
We don't know if we'll have all World Series by Renault tracks yet.

 

Is there any kind of list at all of tracks confirmed in the game?

 

Thanks indeed for the update Scott!

Regards

 

Hi

Will be nice if there are also originaly tracks from the '60-'70 years

 

Any GP track would be good.

 

Thanks for keeping the community informed!

A quick question, has the lap invalidation issue been resolved in rf2 tracks (I mean when people take shortcuts through the grass an' stuff )

 

I'm sorry but it doesn't matter what you say or do!........I'm still buying Rfactor2

 

Are you working on real or fictitious circuits?

 

Hi Scott, thanks for that! But can you give us a rough idea of the number of tracks that will/should/may ship with the first release, please?

Can't wait, anyway!

 

Thanks for the heads up Scott. Much appreciated!

 

release date (month), please

 

Why is everyone so far fetched on release dates. It will be done when it will be done!!

 

Thanks for the update Scott.
With you and Luc on the case I have no doubts the tracks that ship (real or fantasy) will be excellent and keep us racers happy.

 

As far as i remember we got atleast spa 60's to look forward too

 

Hello everyone. Nice to see rFactor 2 starting to get some speed.
