Just have to repeat that this is amazing. "The behaviour of the cars taken the best from real data coming from Alpine, Signatech & Michelin, and from smart advices of Renault Sport & Alpine official drivers Laurent Hurgon and Pierre Sancinema." I guess it is not going to be smart to assume that anything could happen to be incorrectly simulated. I have full trust for car. But tires are always a mystery. Seeing that Michelin is somehow related, is amazing, I wonder if they will happen to be theoretically perfect or with practically realistic behavior. This is one awesome car to come to rF2. I am sorry - not one, but two ! Gordon Murray has one road going version, and it was part of inspiration for his upcoming T.50 car. He describes these cars as just simply doing all the basics right.
The point I was making was its fair enough if someone wants to charge for their mod, but why would you hope you had to pay for it? So if it was free you wouldn't want it? I understand what you mean though, you get what you pay for. Quality comes at a cost, but in this case the quality already seemed assured with manufacturer support and the screenshots shown, yet you hoped you had to pay for it. My reaction was more along the lines of "This looks great, even better if its free". Honestly no offense meant. I was just surprised by your logic, or at least how it came across on the toneless mediums that are internet forums.
I saw one of this new Alpine this sunday at Perpignan, France, in real life. Looks pretty good. As a lover of this little french machines, you see in my avatar , it's a joy that this guys make it for rF2. Thanks guys, you are the best !
Very good, just made a donation of 25EURO. Hopefully more will follow so you can keep up the good work.
the only thing I dont understand with the alpine, why didnt they make the paddleshifts attached to the steringwheel? In a vacation I stumpled on one in hamburg a few years ago. Beautiful car.
i hope for a paymod too...just to get sure they get what they deserve... most of the guys will download, will have fun and for sure just 5% leave a comment with a "Thank you" or rate it with 5 Stars if they love it! So many people who take and take... And sorry, if you think that some bucks are to much for this kind of mods than you have no idea what they put in to bring it to live, bring patches and patches after every rFactor 2 update to keep it running ... And another problem... i´m happy for everybody who build mods for rfactor 2 instead of Assetto Corsa... where you get much more "fame" and 10 x more clicks and downloads...
Did I say I "think that some bucks are to much"? I was just saying I hoped it was free as who doesn't like a freebie. If the mod was free that would mean the creators of the mod were happy doing all the work and not getting paid, except for donations. Otherwise it would have been a "paymod" in the first place. I totally understand the work that goes into mods and I'm not belittling their efforts at all. I'm very grateful to those who dedicate themselves to enhancing rF2.
I have no problem paying for quality content. But if you are using trademarks like "Alpine" on a mod and don´t have the license or permission for the commercial use of the trademark there is always the possibility to get problems. In the end it´s the same as brand piracy Without brandnames on it, i think there would be no problem to do a pay mod, but with the brand names it´s a problem, because it´s just not legal in most countries and by the raising popularity of simracing at the moment, it´s just a matter of time, that owners of trademarks are getting attention at it. But it´s just my oppinion, as somebody who already got emails from companies, that complained about using their logos without permission on skins
Hello, our position has always been the same on this subject : we do free mods only, and people who wish to support us can make a donation on our paypal account, using the link posted in page 1. It will not change, so now we can focus on the mod itself
