    Nowadays there isnt much to do except reading stuff about rFactor 2. And it's quiet sad, specially on virtualr.

    I found sad that this supposed video should have been enough to keep us waiting in peace knowing next week should be it.
    Except it's shoot a screen and it's 480p, it shouldnt be both i'm sorry. In a perfect world mister would had a go pro or whataver smartphone capable of 1080p recording. Or a fraps 480p would have been decent i guess.

    So this video isnt interesting to me. Beta comes next week and i dont get how this video or the slow motion video were suppose to promote well rF2. Yea tires are very well done yeah !

    Slow motion video was entitled physics video, i expected hotlapping but it was something else, in slow motion showing more the shadows with lot of aliasing and appearing from nowhere than physics to me. It would have been smart to turn the shadows off and show it in real speed.

    Now this video, well hotlapping yes but it's blurry and i don't think we saw one of the best hotlappers in the world. So it's not very exciting.
    I quiet don't understand the communication of ISI, latest screenshot are not thrilling and i hope lot of graphics options were off.
    I mean this screen is taken from direct footage and is more thrilling than any holiday screenshots :

    Screenshots should look sharp and show something, holiday screenshot lack of character, everything is so clean, every cars are aligned.

    Anyway very nice model, very impressed by the amount of poly on the rear brake disc & rims. Higher texture for head & tail lights would match the overall quality of the model.

    Shum maybe you should spend more time posting at virtualr about how crappy rF2 looks than posting here. The trolls over there would probably appreciate your typical comments more than here. I would also suggest you move on to something to your liking. If you don't like rFactor 2 then don't pay so much attention to it.

    I think you're expecting standard communication, so you don't understand that you are not getting standard communication. Everybody in the community knows about rF2, those outside the community we don't really want them to know about rF2 yet. We're in beta. :) We're just showing some things while we work, there's no rhyme or reason because there isn't a marketing plan at this stage. Just sharing where we can and whatever we feel like.

    So tell us about the FFB!! Do you feel the tires or is the FFB saturated with the suspension forces? The question relates to rF2 of course. :p

    Nope. It'll go out whenever Gjon hits the big red button marked 'do not press' for the last year. :) We're not holing anything on anybody else's behalf, just our own.

    Good article. I had a good laugh at his 'progress report' :D

    Sounds like everything that was missing in RF1 has been addressed or added now
