is it me or the skip barber feels like it's on ice?

not my video but this is what i mean http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9AfDBkB9a_o

compared to real life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lkv-in9IxjI the rfactor 2 version feels like it has no weight + no grip to the car?

I know they just released the car but just putting out constructive feedback

 

Please read this.

The "regional" version is very hard and slippery. But the "national" version with slicks is sooo much nicer to drive. However you have to feel it, you can't watch a video of how the car feels. I'm not saying you haven't tried the car but video doesn't prove much

IMO the cars FFB is really great, and I can't agree with the "no weight". I have hard time mastering this little devil too but I'll drive it more before I say too much.

 

Because in the real life they don't push so hard and beyonde the limite like us!
For example.in the real life he brakes about 20-39 before where I braked 20min' ago in the online practice(in the chicane)!
in the real life he doesn't make the last corner with the full throttle, but I did!

 

Regional version is so much better than old rTrainer as now tires are much closer to street tires instead of racing slicks.

Lift and spin, keep weight at rear and it works nicely, now with little practice one can learn to use this to initiate small drift and use power to keep it sliding whole turns.

I did drive only little bit, but immediately I found it to be very nicely working car, need to drive more to say anything really, but I could not find anything like feeling on ice, surely easy to spin if you move weight forward, but from my understanding that is designed so that newbie drivers will learn to not do that and learn to either accelerate or brake at maximum efficiency.

 

Personally...i think they are the reason why Americans race ovals

 

Not in ice at all. Need to keep it balanced. Best sim car I have ever driven.

 

It's certainly not on ice. And I get the impression that the car is quite heavy too!

I just feel like ISI's car physics and FFB are getting better and better for each new car. I wonder... if they had not yet released the Brabham, but if it was the next to come... would brabham physics and FFB be even better?

I want more 60's content!... or even more: a 70's F1!

 

Some point they probably update older content to new level, at least graphically.

But as I noticed in skip barber engine.ini there are turbo codes, I'm off to figure out how that thing works and leave skip barber for a moment alone *flash and PUFF* ->

 

Great car!! So yes, I think it's you. There were a few guys complaining about it yesterday in a server but they were 5 seconds off pace and probably had only been driving it for less than an hour. Give it some time and be patient with it.


P.S Those videos don't prove a damn thing other than yes, skip barber car does exist.

Leave a comment in the real life skip barber videos. Ask him if the car is tricky to drive or whatever other questions you have. I have done this in the past. People who post these vids are usually more than happy to answer your questions.

 

Probably not in the top of the priority list at least (not even black mirror bug is fixed yet). But I would really like an update, both graphically and improvements to physics, to the older content.

Do so

 

Hehe... I was "complaining" yesterday in a server. I just had to say the car was crazy. And it still is. But it's crazy fun!

 

The trainer reminds me of a similar class car in iRacing, similar feel, similar turn-around-itself feel when lifting off the throttle. In which case I think it shows something close to the real world in similar vehicles where you can't make adjustments in the differential clutching to increase the amount of coasting, etc.

I think this is a great step forward for rF2 and a boon to anyone who wants to learn to drive smoother.. which eventually brings more speed and lower laptimes.

Thumbs Up from me ISI.

 

The racing line this driver took after the first corner is different to rF2's AIW, other than that rF2 SB driving style is just like the real video.

 

I think that it is not similar class car, but exact same car

 

The Skippy drives wonderfully when you start to get to grips with it.

I`m not saying I`ve managed to get to grips with it yet, but I`m getting there and I can tell... it`s going to be amazing fun to learn...

Slippery yes... on "ice"?

Absolutely not.

 

Great combo and tons of fun. Bar has been raised with this content release.

 

I can see how this would be a good learning tool. But it's a turd on wheels no matter how you slice it.

 

How you can call the Skippy that is beyond me and makes me wonder...

 

How to turn off wind efect,i cant hear engine?? Please
And how to put position line from bottom to top of screen? And make it smaler?
Thx
