Latest Roadmap Update - February 2017!

Good to see the boost on the rF2 development.

I suspended two projects I was running (Le Mans 24H Full and a second Fantasy Track) due me job and my newborn girl what took me plenty time away. However now I'm up to re-engage myself on them back.

I saw NOLA is bringing some new shaders to the rF2 core and certainly the DX11 transition will income with some new stuff to be ajusted in order to achieve good results. I'm aware now a number of mistakes and non-optmized stuff in my previous rF2 Track (Le Mans Bugatti) which can be avoided in the new tracks but the transition stage is not a good point to release or go 100% throttle on development of any add-on game material, so it would be useful to know how deep the changes will go in the next graphic engine update.

Regards.

 

Good to read you will re-engage. Bugatti circuit is a masterpiece!

 

So where is that february update ?

 

AFAIK that was rF1 problem, not so much rF2. With rF2 shadows at least on close distance are always the true dynamic shadow of the car, so there is no gap anymore as in rF1. The main problem with rF2 shadows is that they are bad at hiding the "running shadow" issue, especially on guardrails.

Read post #1...

 

It's in the first post! https://forum.studio-397.com/index.php?threads/latest-roadmap-update-february-2017.54573/

 

S397 should remove the word "update" and just name it "Latest Roadmap - *Month* 2017".
Including the word "update" can give the impression of a game update.

 

Damn the English language!

 

But an update has been released.. ok it was only shaders, but anyway..

 

Yes. It was this one here and it did update the game automatically. It also is only an "Update" and not a new "Build". So you get no missmatch with this update on current "Build" Servers.

it's an update..... of the roadmap.... for us.

 

You know that, ... I know that... but looking at a couple of responses in this thread I'd hazard a guess that it was/is a little confusing for some, especially if they don't frequent the forums as much as say someone who is here daily (me....I need to get a life..lol)
Maybe something along the lines of Roadmap News - March 2017 would remove any confusion.

Just seems like simple english to me.

 

Of which not everyone is perfect in, respect those that perhaps get confused as English may not be their primary language

 

For those that have studied to learn additional languages, it's easy to understand the meaning of "lost in translation". It's very challenging to grasp all of the subtleties involved - not to mention the use of slang terms.

 

Is there any update since the last update? lol, i know you will post news when your ready but I'm really excited and keen to see rF2 take this next Big step forward.
Could you post a vid of DirectX 11 Nola / USF2000 or something?

 

Updates to date have been around the 17th/18th of the month so I would not be expecting anything until then...would be nice to be surprised earlier though.

 

gosh update guesstimate is next Friday !

(based on previous updates)

 

could you possibly update your guesstimate about the update so we are kept updated on when the update will, in fact, update?

 

What have I started!
Keeping up to date about what we think an update should be or contain or even called an update is something I wasn't expecting to be still getting updated about.
At least no one has been rude by suggesting to shove the idea up ya .....

 

Maybe someone would get relieved if there would be a countdown to each roadmap update...
