I guess this was biggest news in ISI land as of late, in case someone missed it. Probably also means rF2 gets to Steam eventually at some point.

 

except for when its half empty

 

The glass is always full. Unless it's in a vacuum

 

There's always dark matter

 

get back to school young man... its gravity your looking for

 

Then it's full of dust and dog hair.

 

...which is often dark matter

 

I've found a bag full of milky ways!!

 

I'm 46 and going a bit senile.... you're going to have to explain that one.

 

Yes, i bet they working very hard.

What i think is, they try to release a new build with updated contact patch, a new user-interface and (time-close) Stock-car-mod all together until x-mas. A very ambitious task, in this short timeframe if you ask me.
The new user-interface might be necessary, because they wan't to implement a more flexible model of racing/series regulations, especially for the Stock-cars.
And yes, i'm possibly wrong with "new user-interface" until x-mas.

 

I'd be happy with shadow and mirror resolution improvements and all the stuff we already have to be working properly (all at the same time).

 

Mirror resolution is literally something that takes 5 minutes. This should simply be an option from day 1. I downloaded a tiny GSC and rF1 file with like 5 different mirror resolution files. Extremely basic stuff to change this.

 

Last time stock car was mentioned, it was rather early in development. Releasing stock cars without tire updates would make no sense. I would definitely be one of the first in line to criticize ISI for such move. I'm occasionally bringing up the issue of insufficient tire simulation for ovals, ever since first oval content was released.

If more oval content starts to be released without tire pressure issue solved, I aim to misbehave

Adding even entire screen with options doesn't create necessity of creating new user interface.
Not to mention that race rules are more likely to be based on plugins. So it's more about making plugins able to expose their settings in the UI.

My bet is on Cobra and/or DW12 update. It could be that there will also be a track release, but if they're working on oval content, they may not have any road course currently in the works that could be released.

 

From the tone of your post, sounds like you're going to stay up till 9pm or something ...anarchy in the UK XD

 

Nope. It's a quote:

I was really let down when ISI released DW12 and IMS. I don't think rF2 is ready for ovals and that release led me to believe ISI has a tire update coming. Unfortunately it turned out nothing more than releasing popular content in time of high demand rather than giving use new simulation experience.

Generally I don't mind some "popular" features missing from simulation. Lack of DRS or KERS systems does not affect handling of F1 cars. It affects racing experience, but it's acceptable as missing feature. Going for oval content without giving us the ability to setup our cars properly for such track is worrying, though.

I support rF2, but that doesn't mean I support every decision made. If ISI continues to release oval content before dealing with this issue, I will keep bringing it up until either it's dealt with or I end up on Tim's ignore list

 

Please be careful. You are too knowledgeable and helpful to the rest of us for us to lose you

 

+1

 

I agree and not only for The oval track. Better is " going for new contents like cars and tracks without giving us the ability to setup our cars is worrying.

 

Lack of DRS on F1 cars?

 

I know DRS has been delivered, but tire pressure is still not working - that was my point.
