    You can refund DLC on Steam. At this point I don't think it's much to start worrying about.

    Anything in that list yet to be announced or surprising, or mostly updates or already announced cars?

    Thanks again :)

    There are more unannounced, than announced. But I suspect most of those unannounced will be considered lower priority for first-party builds.

    Would be cool to have 3PA skins for official packs.

    Would have made welcome change all these years for rookies to have stuff like Sergios Classic F3 Sparks.
    Selection of Woo's Howstons and Cobras would be nice too.

    +1 High quality work like that finishes the job on otherwise excellent base vehicles.

    I think it would interest many and raise the standard of 3P skins
    ..and who would not want their work included.

    Another idea would be a "open ended" 3PA community drivers and guest pack for each car.

    Run by a responsible and talented people these could be checked by ISI and updated regular on ISI page, steam and launcher.
    All skins having to meet certain criteria, quality, etc.

    In a "future sim" with championships and manager, 3PA skin packs could work well.

    It applies the same to all gameengines that are not purpose made.

    Uve got some guts to ask a question and than be so rude not to find a reason to read somebody who made the effort of anwesring it for you. Perhabs next time you will get ignored as people wont find reason to care.

    Oh no need to be so sensitive. Don't read a text without any voice or physical expression and think it's rude because you didn't like it :) I just made clear the point about UE4 was just an example.


    And to add to my post: seeing how studios and devs are doing now a partnership like this looks a lot easier and better than keeping going in the way they are going. IMO ofc...

    Hi Tim,

    Rules are on priority now but what about rain and weather?
    Could you tell us something (or behind the scene info?) :p
    Thanks for your answer ;)

    Perhaps you might want to read the interview itself and the pages of replies already given here before asking the same question over again.

    And by Rules you presumably mean the Stock Car rules?

    I hope so as I have been running stock car content in a couple leagues. The rule set that is in place now is all kinds of complicated and I cant imagine how long it must have taken to code the myriad of possible conditions which need to be addressed. I also remember you saying that there was more work to be done on the stock car rules. We have noted several conditions that will break the rules and cause unwarranted penalties.

    Thanks for all the hard work and for answering the questions posed here.

    Where is that singled out in the interview? rF2 already ships with non-ISI made liveries packaged into new content or content updates.

    That is totally different to 3PA " Driver" skins and packs.

    They don't have your name or number on the car ( well some were lucky then others , spend 4 years training rookies everyday you get squat. ) lol ;)


    Why not a section in downloads for one 3PA pack for each car ? update it every couple of months whatever.

    ALL I AM saying it would have created MORE interest in the preceding 4 years

    I put the same idea up 3 years ago................. :rolleyes: ...got fobbed off...typical


    You seriously going to argue when cars like F3 had 3 skins for 4+ years !@! ..........seriously ?

    Way I see it is 3 options in open rooms.

    1. Anything goes and enable transfers

    Rooms load laggy, cars stuttering
    You will see some stock skins, most likely duplicates
    Skins change during sessions
    You get multiple files for the same skin in packages
    Drivers constantly changing their skin etc
    Some load, some don't
    different drivers see the same driver in different cars to others ( even though they have had the same skins for YEARS )




    2. Make a 3PA pack and enable skin transfers

    Simply dumb

    Flashing cars, lag when joining
    Will cause a .rcd file to be made for anyone that joins with a different skin, then when you go offline your 3PA pack don't work proper. loool
    Then you get cars in races changing skins and flashing
    Other " wierd bugs"


    3. Make a 3PA pack and disable skin tranfers

    Room loads instantly
    No flashing skins
    no rcds
    No flashing skins in race
    No wierd bugs

    New rookie must use a Guest skin............. looks better then the stock ones ?

    Will be more interested getting his own skin added to packs


    P.S.


    Put it this way if the F3 Eve Community Pack had been on ISI page it would have 100 drivers by now.........

    I think it would be the same for all cars ( some would have 100s ) .......... I can't see why not ? ;)

    Fair enough the idea never caught on in threads , F3 Spark has had only 20 submissions


    BUT if ISI had a page said you want a F3 Spark , submit / request here ........... yadda
    I think both F3 would have 100 real drivers, let alone other more popular cars. !

    The great thing about 3PA community packs is offline you can make your own rfm use any combo of drivers you like, even multi classes ( add 2 or more packs together )

    You get to practice offline with your mates not the Ai. :)
