I would very much like that : After the big projects planned for the next 6 months (UI, Nords ....), I want that S397 prioritizes really these actions on what I call the "Global Realism" which includes the physics and other things, so that soon rF2 will reached a new stage in term of "hardcore and purist simulator". This must go through an incredible content (new and updated the old content, don't forget it). UI, improved graphics and the rest, I'm delighted, but this is not for me the heart of rF2, I think. Performance is a very important point too.
Guess they have the same opinion as you/us, but maybe things went a bit too optimistic and are taking longer than expected... it will get there, all we have to do is wait, rFactor2 is/was a very complex software...
