Why there are so few mods for rFactor2?

Because AC is easier to rip mods into.

Even Neel Jani does AC Dundrod and lets up in videos with links !!! I couldn't believe it.

It is bad enough you have all these so-so modders doing rips and releasing in public let alone someone like him doing it.


I tell you Jim ever sees that rip he will never ever let IOM into any sim.

So how retarded to keep doing it.



ffs

 

There seems to be a language barrier as I'm not quite following your first paragraph, especially the "as i have already modders complaining". Either way the point remains, dropping content creators for coders won't work....enough said, ISI have been a company since 1992 so they know what they're doing!

 

That is a good point about documentation. The ISI content team have a large knowledge base that could probably be documented. Borda has released recently a spreadsheet for building chassis. So although he isn't a coder, he does build some tools of his own and releases them to the public. I have tried to document about the parts of the sim I know but I really suck at documentation. Tech writing my not be a skill these guys have. Even if they hired someone to document stuff they would still eat up a ton of time from the content guys and probably some of the devs time. Maybe when development slows we will see more documentation. But even rF1 had almost no documentation but that didn't stop people from modding on it. I personally enjoy the challenge of figuring stuff out. I'm sure I am not alone.

 

Please look up collaboration in the dictionary. That is how development works. Content drives development, development support content. You cannot develop a modding engine without creating content.

 

While I agree the modding documentation could be improved, I don't know of a single query not already answered with what is available.

 

sorry, hope all can understand now: as i have already read from modders on modding forum (about not so good modding tools and lack of tutorials - documentation as Noel said)

They know what they doing but for sure want to listen others opinions. Thats why they create this forum (i want to believe)

edit: Thanks Wheatley, half agree with what are you saying. Rf1 you kind of did that. But maybe with more participation of third party mods and now with own content.

edit2: the next answer by eltiudi is all i want/should have said. I´m Spinelling a little....

edit: but i still need f1 series from 70/80/90

 

The official content is so good I'm not really bothered with vehicle mods, The only mod I have ir URD. Tracks I need more, but really good quality ones not some rfactor 1 conversions. The thing is that rfactor 1 official content was dismal, rfactor on the other hand has brilliant content, The only thing lacking is more tracks.

 

Queries on the forum or via emails? Regardless of which, it isn't really documentation. You have to do a lot of digging on forums, looking at comment lines in ISI content, ect ect. Having it all in one place is really what I was referring to. Actually, your old RSC had a ton of knowledge that was lost. Obviously not for rF2 but for rF1 and a lot of it transfers over to rF1. Man I miss your old forum.

But I totally get it with the docs. I am a developer and all of us at the office talk about how some documentation on some of the stuff we deal with would help. But it never happens. We've been talking about it for 13 years or so at the office. Hahaha

 

Why are asking from me PM modders you know and you may get answer you are looking for. I did PM one of the modders I know from HistoriX team and got the answer and that PM is only to my eye`s, here is the link give it a try : https://www.facebook.com/HistorXTeam

PS. Are you sure, maybe some of those modders have high end PC like I do and can simply not get it right because of non working SLI

Apex Modding, creators of the FIA GT3 mod for rFactor & rFactor 2 are branching out to Assetto Corsa as new previews show. http://www.virtualr.net/apex-modding-gt3-series-ac-previews

 

So the specific problems that Noel asked for are secret? Gave me a chuckle.

And for rF2 too: http://www.virtualr.net/fia-gt3-rfactor-2-new-addition-revealed

So?

 

When you get PM and last line is : "for you eye`s only" it is

 

Did you read that thread before posting? I'm sure you didn't...

 

I was trying yo point this message from forum admin four days ago:

But, nevermind. Its already become rf2xAc fight

 

If you start to scroll down this page: http://www.virtualr.net/ you get the picture what is going on.

 

Yes regarding where they plan to mod? Did i miss something? sry lol

edit: btw, i linked for the last statement but i thin it didn´t work

 

What we got in stock ISI is not enough.

Like I said you all spoiled rotten.



Lke you want the best mods before the sim is even finalized.
