Interview: Gjon Camaj and Tim Wheatley on rFactor 2

There are lot of nice ovals around, not just the ones being used in the upper series. It’s so tempting to try to bring some more grassroots content instead of what’s more well-known. For one thing, they cost less to license and get access to survey!


DO IT!!!!!


Great piece guys, enjoyed it. :)
 
Gjon: Planned cars in the pipeline include the classic Indianapolis cars mentioned here, and the Gurney Eagle’s, the F1 Toleman, the 2003 Bentley Speed 8, the Mercedes Benz 300 SLR and W196, first mentioned here. There is also plans for the Nissan GT500. We are actively working on an unannounced car, the 1991 Nissan NSX / NSX-R as well as the previously announced Stock Car 2014, and the Shelby 427 Cobra. I’m driving the AC 427 now, and it’s a handful. I would expect it to be one of the next few cars released, although there is still some refining and testing to be done.

Gjon: On the content side we have some new shaders, creating more realistic effects on track visuals. We’re updating some of our original stock car tracks like Jacksonville so we can use them to further test physics and rules. We’re also working hard on the road course, Tiger Moth Aerodrome.

Gjon: There are a couple of tracks that we will release. One of the new ones we are working on is Mountain Peak Speedway. It is a 1.5 mile oval with an infield road course.

Gjon: There are other oval tracks being developed by a private resource with our help. Our intent is when Stock Car 2014 is released, there should be multiple tracks available for stock car fans to drive.

Really glad to see this direction being pursued. It's the content that will save rF2 at the end of the day. Too few of us are super hardcore sim fanatics to provide enough revenue to make this thing a success. Great content will attract the masses, some of whom will get converted once they realize the depth of what's underneath the candy coating.
 
Yeah, great to read this interview!
Very intersting and things are moving in the right direction for me ;)

Just one thing, "weather engine is not a priority" :(.
But maybe Tim and Gjon can help me.
Does it just concern the weather "engine"? (so as i understand, weather setup rain, overcast, sunny, etc... ) or does it seems that the whole weather engine will not be in priority?
I'm so frustarted to not been able to race a rainy day because of the lack of visual effects (raindrops,etc.. ), optimisation of ai pit strategies, and so on.
The developpement of a "random weather engine" is not as important for me than the rest ;)

Thanks for the answer and sorry for my english :p
 
nice timing, sitting around in heathrow airport awaiting flight in few hours,

this and simpits alien interview will keep me going (-:

thanks
 
Ps: just to note, the title says "interview Gjon Camaj and Tim Weathley".
But all the answer are named Gjon.

Did you take a coffee Tim? Or talking with the young secretary during this interview? ? lollll ;)))

Yes, once some of the things we are currently working on get released, we’ll be able to work on more endurance racing priorities.

:cool:

The Cobra's looking beautiful.

Thanks to Gjon, Tim and SimHQ for a very interesting read.
 
enjoyed reading it, thanks to simHQmotorsports & Gjon / Tim for taking time to do it, it's good to get a dev report style info now and again
 
"The server list is packed with servers, but the lack of people online is something we are working to change. The barrier is on race entry, clearly"

Really? :rolleyes: I was thinking it was something along the lines of rf2 system complexity VS system requeriments VS lack of users VS no crack.
 
Nice and informative interview, good questions, answers giving insight, many thx to Gjon, Tim and Doug! Care if i translate it into german (for league members)?

*sigh* and there is everyone talking about the interview, and one has to spoil it. Post in some tech threads and get the problem solved perhaps?

We were recently asked about the rFactor Jacksonville track being converted to Assetto Corsa, we said yes.

This would appear to be an off topic response.

Your only post I saw was it crashing on exit. Are you talking about a different issue where you're now unable to use the product at all before that crash happens? Or was the description given about your CTD incorrect about when it happened? In either case, please update your thread with accurate information, and please be aware that also we may not respond (especially if a post says that it happens on exit, which doesn't otherwise affect usage - like your post said when I saw it) and/or visit the forums.

You could also try contacting support. The forum entry page does state quite clearly that you can do this, and does also state quite clearly about staff visitation. http://imagespaceinc.com/forums/
