rfactor 2 beta video's

Having no shadows makes the car look like it`s floating instead of connected to the road surface...

Nice vid though.

 

It's actually pretty much bang on to be honest, this is very close to the gp2 sim I drove (to avoid questions about opinion vs fact and experience..) (But I agree that 1 or 2 steps higher would be absolutely perfect for me, to match eyelevel to mirror level or thereabouts, but it still is damn close)

Speaking of unrealistic, just looking at mcgyverxxl's video, the girafe said it all I guess.

Just great that they release this thing while I'm asleep and needing to work the next day, thanks a lot!

 

The cockpit view?

Not imo... when the steering wheel is turned it`s obscuring the view which cannot be realistic...

Imo.

 

What happens in real life is that you can turn your head/eyes looking into the apex, so while driving your hand and steering wheel doesn't obstruct near as much as on your screen

I do am curious what the default setting is though, but then again, I needed to adjust the seat position on the RFT car so not sure what it will end up looking like. Very impressed with what I see so far though

 

Very true and something to keep in mind but I still think the fov`s above are too low...

For me anyway.

 

That as well is more realistic when you want to have what you see line up with the real scale. The downside is that you'd really want triplescreens to benefit from it really

Think they are in the middle a bit, for a single screen too low, for triple screens, too high, but don't know for sure

 

For me, with one screen () this is about right...

 

That is on the high side for me, I'm a short guy, and the ones on the last page with the low seating is almost exactly what I saw in the real life cockpit, so I'm sticking with that

 

By all means, stick to what feels/looks good to you... I`m not trying to change anyone`s fov...

I`m 6 ft but have never sat in a real formula car so I`m just going by stuff I`ve seen and read so my fov could be a smidgen high maybe... will test this more.

 

Neither have I, but don't think I'm ever going to get closer than what I drove then and that was a GP2-like chassis, figure that is quite close to the F1 ones. Really wish I had triple screens or a projector to drive with proper fov, single screen sucks (and being poor as well!)

Hope it drives as well as I think it looks!

 

Me driving two awesome games, but I think rF2 is way better

 

Cool... youv`e driven a GP2 like car... niiice! I`d love to even have a seat in a formula type car let alone get to push the loud pedal...

After a little more research I think my fov may be just a tad high but I don`t think (for me) it needs to be as low down as it`ll go.

Back to kind of on topic, I think the MR01 drives really well but I`ve only done a handful of laps so far. Challenging, but in a good way, after all I reckon if I jumped in a real MR01 (or any formula car) it`d be pretty damn challenging to drive, that`s if I could even get away without stalling...

One of the best modern F1 sim cars I`ve driven.

 

Whoa there! Read carefully, it was a sim with a monocoque which resembled a gp2 one, and was used as such as well. You should try the brake pedal, like pushing against a wall at the first go
But for me, that was the best sim experience ever and I don't think I'll get to surpass that, unless I get some tracktime in an openwheeler which will beat that any day ofcourse, but those chances are just as slim as winning the lottery I suppose.

I'm really damn curious how this thing drives, so will have to sit tight for tonight, have to watch yesterdays' race still as well Moaaaaarrr videos please

 

Ahh right... I don`t think you actually stated anywhere in your previous posts that it was a sim cockpit you were referring to. Still, sounds like a really good experience.

I think you`ll like the MR01 when you get a chance to drive it...

 

I actually did, and yes it was

I hope you are right, although I probably won't have the time this evening, my girlfriend deserves some attention as well

 

You've got a girlfriend?! What's that? A girl? GIRL? Woot?

 

Why else do you think Zolder is going at such a demented snails' pace :X

 

Here a hotlap while I was testing F1 Marussia. One more car I love . Better real Marussia lap in Monza past year was 1:27.0xx done by Timo Glock in Qualifying. I'm not the best, I haven't much practice with this car, and my lap is with 50L and default setup, best drivers I think would reach 1:26s with no fuel, nice setup, and good use of DRS.

​

When you know the car, is awesome... isn't easy to drive, but far from impossible as some people says when spins due not to care about their use of gas

 

Nice lappery Esteve...

+1 to the above ^^ too.

 

Marussia @ Poznan, multiple angles.
