    I don't understand this thread at all, especialy not in this sub forum. It isn't bad to talk about issues and provide feedback in the tech forum but I question the intention of the topic starter nor his understnading what "ignoring" actually means. Setting different priotities for the development schedule of a product doesn't mean that they are just ignoring stuff. As it stands now, alot of features mentioned in that list aren't even worth to worry about right now, while there are much more preassuring issues. How can the selfadvertised sim with class leading phyiscs still not have a proper clutch model and dynamic ambient conditions, when it was planned since the start of development - and this after allmost ten years? But I understand that the devs have a different focus right now, so I am atleast glad, that this product gets updated on a regular base, wich is quite unusual in the software industry.

    The homologation of the Camaro GT3 is still valid IRL, Reiter still sells that car. BoP makes sense.
    I mean.. someone was racing the Jag till last year and that one is even older lol

    - HUD: downtimer Clock does not work in timed races
    - HUD Exiting during practise leads to crazy values next few laps in fuel consumption and other
    - Message for ABS and TC Adjustment ingame is 0 based while in Setup is 1 based, values are off by 1 together (so obivous…)
    - Skin download from Drivers is a total failure, does not work reliable. Maybe tested for 100mbit glas fibre but not for 10mbit
    - if you create virtual rides for same Driver (or car number?) in different mods, you get wrong loaded car ( the "first" one allways)

    Looking at this thread title for 3rd, 4th.... and so on... time, really makes it look stupid, people. Don't you agree ?

    ughrrrrr so disappointing grrrrrr
    People who are creating this software for us to use, are ignoring us so much ! And for so long ! grrrrrr.. I gonna riot and drive off-topic every news thread in racedepartment which is going to be related to rF2, because they ignore absolutely most important stuff ! So angry grrr. Going to create essentially a rather polite thread with passive aggressive message in the title that developers are ignoring their actual job even though it is just me not being able to appreciate and judge reality grrrr

    Indeed, as I wrote, Chevrolet Camaro GT3 2012 is standalone content. It is huge task to update Chevrolet Camaro GT3 2012 which was released to rF2 many years ago and in my mind it is wasted time.

    I don`t think it is valid argument that someone was racing the Jag till last year and that one is even older :eek:

    Relax mate, there are things to implement/fix but i also understand that they need time to get things right, also the financial part it's important for them, they are humans that have bills and they drink and eat! I trust them, they're preparing the future, it's hard the wait, but it'll definitely be worthy ;)

    It's still default licensed content, every of these must be updated. By your logic they should have abandoned Silverstone.

    Must be is bold statement, there is only one thing which is must and it is to die.
    ISI Chevrolet Camaro GT3 2012 DX9 standalone content is updated to DX11 it is not abandoned , it is logic isn't it ?

    Shame really because VLN allows old BMW Z4 GT3 and future Vantage to compete against current cars

    The Camaro has, like every other ISI cars, become the mistreated stepchild of DLCs and the new cars are the Joseph and (their multicolored dreamcoat) of DLCs

    That's a BOP (balance of performance) thing. IMO each car should be simulated as close as possible, at very first. After that, there should be mechanism in the sim for users, or modders at least, so individual cars can race together. This could be done with adding weight or reduce power (restrictor plates). Just like it has to be done in reality.

    IRL they got 3 levels of BoP to be used depending on track type.Would be nice if they made it in game.
    In the case of the Camaro it must be BoPed anyway, current homologation allows that.

    6. Who doesn't think so, I absolutely think it is a mighty eyesore, it gives gamers (of other driving games) an opportunity to hate on

    I posted this before but I know that they said this will be fixed by the summer but if it isn't, can't Mr. Content Manager bring his magic like he did to that certain game

    I'll add this in
    11. The damage.ini file needs to be revised to punish crashers because GT3s are not overpriced Cup Cars with an exotic badge because this is a sim, not an arcade driving game.


    Compared to those of Bathurst 12 Hours (like at 0:29 above), it seems that odd that the official contents are immune to collisions compared to what they really are, from my experience, it was odd to see one GT3 hit a wall after spinning off at the Esses then clock 270 km/h at Conrod Straight

    Is it me or is it that this sub-genre has become pussified to keep happy Forza gamers and certain popular streamers, we have online lobbies made easy to suit them, this is why Arcade Cars 2 exists for them

    12. Excessive full course yellow periods: in one 60 minutes offline race, 4/5 of those are wasted on full course yellow and safety car periods because one car had spun off, that's why all I do is practice laps now I don't do racing anymore.

    But then I don't mind if this isn't going to be fixed because, TBH, my patience has been tested as further as I could

    A sim racing friend that helped us to organize leagues works for that Aston team, after the crash he said in our Facebook group about the damage "All the suspension in the front left corner, front sub frame, steering rack, left rear drive shaft and a bunch of minor bodywork".

    About FCY you can turn it off by running rules "Black Only" instead of full. These rules only affect you so you can turn them off completely anyway if running against the AI
    If you want to use FCY you can control the sensitivity in a rfm file. In my online leagues I used 1.5 in the crashing setting. For spins you only use on ovals.

    From January 2019 Roadmap:
    Let’s also look at some of the work in progress, just to give you an update on how things are going. Our competition system and new UI are the highest priority things our developers are working on right now. Step by step we will be expanding the competition system and testing more parts of it in public, and we’re currently integrating it into our new UI to ensure it is both easy to find and join competitions. Expect us to reveal more towards the end of the first quarter of this year.

    so i have a feeling that when those updates will come most of us will start playing-Racing onlinen and probably forget AI and rain
    we dont have official servers running reall life players at the moment
    so when pick up races starts the fun will start.

    While I agree there will be an increase in online gaming, don't be so quick to discount off-line racers. They will continue to exist even after all the improvements we hope for come down the line.
