it is normal that if I look I see a replay of the car already broken before making the incident? It happened the same thing rFactor1. Even if I go in the garage and back on track, then replays, I still see the car with the missing pieces.
This problem persists in practice mode (I've only been playing practice mode), even if you pit in and repair your vehicle. Your missing body parts/panels are not replaced. Your car will remain with the missing parts/panels. I'm not sure if the change in sessions replaces the parts.
I have same issue in Practice mode but I see damages only when I crash - pressing Replay and watch (car is damaged, without wheel, before actual crash). When I'm returning to boxes, starting another run and pressing Replay - everything is Ok (car is repaired).
I also noticed too that after i crash and view a replay my car drives around with the parts I knocked off and there is a pile of parts at the point where the accident happened.
The replay system is very WIP. Infact there are two (one when you press R, the other accessed from the monitor).
I'd like to add, if you car catches fire and then you watch the replay, you will see your car on fire for the whole time the replay lasts, from the very beggining it will be on fire.
yes it seems as though that the replay doesnt actually record the visual action, but instead records the position of the vehicles and then recreates them on-command using what the computer sees as the status of your car/others at the time of replay creation. I imagine this makes the replays much much smaller in size.
