Persoannly i think that ISI are working very well on the new rfactor2. Now we have weather, tyre wear, heat fx etc.. DO not know if Pit Crew Animation has been discussed previously. Personally i think that rfactor was a bit "dry" in pits. Maybe having some animated pitcrew in rfactor2 would be a great boost! What are your opinions.
yes i'm agree with you. I'd like to see pit crew animation, would be for sure a great addiction for improve immersion. Take for example endurance races, the pit lane is incredibly full of engineers, mechanics ecc..and, during pits, you can see lots of guys working on car i'd like to see something similar.
If I remember correctly, ISI already announced, rF 2 will have animated pitcrew (something more of course than what we have in rF1 ) but didn't give any details.
I should *think* the Pit Crews in RF2 will be animated as apposed to GTs full on Motion Capture which they no doubt spent $100,000s on! Still a good animation can make it look amazing without the need of a Green Screen and a bloke with a hundred balls on his body pretending to jack the car up!
Personally, I'd much rather have working pitstops & online driver changes than some fancy, possibly fps hungry buggers weasling around my car in the pits, but that's just me All the best, Uwe
It would be decent if only your pit crew was animated. My comp would crash if 200 mechanics were running around when a full F1 grid pitted at the same time. GTR2 had it right
dont you remember interview in SRT? there was one moment when car was driving from garage, and the "pitexit guy" was waving his hads... ~49:12
The guys from iRacing have started thinking of implementing animated pitcrew... what about ISI? http://www.virtualr.net/iracing-com-new-animation-preview-video
Been asked/requested in wishlist and just about every other sub forum for 5 years. Rain on windscreen. Working wipers. Sparks. Punctures etc etc etc I've stopped hoping for these things, even a basic lollipop man rather than a immersion killing luminous red rectangle
rF2 already has the capabilities http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/24854-Wish-to-all-Vehicle-Modders-Pitcrew-in-rFactor2 It's up to the modders.
We are not talking about static 2d figures, as the title says pit crew "animation" The iracing lollipop man is really what i want
Yep there is animation support built into rF2, which is much underutilized. However to combine it with pitstops it needs work from ISI. The most a modder can do is create an animated crew or lollipop man sequence, but ISI has to make that animation code trigger with the pit stop event. Still waiting for this to happen...
WISHLIST ! (rolleyes ) I want more then 3 skins on the F3 Eves but I not going to blubber about it year after year. lol
At the end of the day I can't imagine animated pit crews being a factor for a league or individual choosing another title over this one. It's a nice touch, but not an important component that would make or break a game. I understand this is a subject opinion but I'd be willing to bet that this is true for the majority.
Does a % of rF1 and rF2 revenues go to those people? They are supposed to focus on modding the game, not develop it.
If it's something with a decent simulation and mod support... if it offers all the real life events in it (animated pit crew, towing cars back to pits, etc) and if it's visible from all cars in online races I unninstall rF2 in a heart beat. Every sim in the market should be offering this by now
