To me E.H. is that type of guy with whom I agree very much, and then at the same time disagree very much on same subjects lol Which is fine.
I am a bit disappointed that he didn't talk about how two latest rF2 S397 cars drive, as that would have a connection to a point about how previously cars drove when he criticized them. Although perhaps BMW Class 1 is too different car to compare, still I think it is comparable by some extent. Must say I don't think he is clueless when it comes to talking about physics, but not an expert either, perhaps of everything he is most loose on physics subjects, much like almost every simracing youtuber, although one of the better ones. I am tired of talk about "FFB" and "weight transfer", talking about tire limits and how they should work without backing it up with some at least a bit technical explanations. But tires ain't no cookie, I understand that, it would take huge knowledge to be able to put thoughts about them in simulation reasonably well and understandably for the rest of simracers.
I was confused about how he described ACC tire behavior currently, perhaps it changed, it was the opposite to me last time I played ACC, but that was too long ago, I am also "famous" fan of ACC when it was just starting n early access (must say after hotfix, hated it before for those few days). It confuses me how he talks it down, then talks the recent handling while describing it making it sound about right, but then saying he thinks it is wrong, then also criticizing rF2 for what could be understood from him the opposite things... it is confusing to me, all this talk about physics lacks grounding to some hard easily explainable knowledge or/and tie down to some real world observations and examples, because at the end it becomes hard to understand what the hell the goal should even be, whats the right thing, whats realistic ? So perhaps we should give some spotlight to reality as well if we are supposed to simulate it, or otherwise are we about to create alternate virtual reality which would be "right one" for us ? So yeah... confusing...... and hard to agree. Easier and safer to disagree. Then he also mentioned about how in ACC rain experience needs to be improved and how it is huge of a task, how it is complex... But if he would have really driven ACC in beginning of early access (after hotfix), perhaps he would remember and perhaps would agree with me, that car handling in the wet was so impressive and so mint, it was enough to please almost anybody IMO. I'd say it worked that much well because underlying physics or car physics were just very correct, yet people didn't like it, mostly driving in the dry, and changes just ruined it all including how mint it was in the wet track. And it wasn't even that perfect, it had too grippy kerbs, paint, no rubbered surfaces causing viscous hydroplaning (which they later added, but made to be it so safe it was practically unnoticeable). So again it is confusing, especially when you don't get how all of these simulation physics nodes interacts and blends into final real time experience.
It is indeed sad we can't even complain about these wet driving things in rF2, because we actually should, rF2 does not even take water depth into account and there is no dynamic hydroplaning, I think there would be more chances to have viscous hydroplaning, although it is seen as advanced simulation feature... Surface roughness simply doesn't work correctly for wet weather, which I pointed out few years ago, and it got minimal interest. I never expected these thing to getting fixed and done then, as I believed that studio is completely buried under loads of work on UI. Later on, as UI got finally out it was so unimpressive and seemingly little better if not worse, it is hard to actually ask anything more. Being based around in rF2 and not being about going for eSports there is a feeling of reality, you aren't in rich family, you won't live in a mansion and drive a Ferrari ever, you are just happy if you have home and any sort of car to move around. You still can be happy and true to yourself, just don't bother with unrealistic dreams too much.
Of course we can discuss (not argue) about specific things and that's good, because it keeps people talking and hopefully one day S397 will noticed they really really missed a huge opportunity in the last years to keep old and get new players. I know so many people feeling the same. They all like it but don't use it and the reasons are outline well in that video. rF2 could be such an amazing platform. We all see the potential otherwise we wouldn't complain and just leave. It's time the community gets heard... And the problems dealt with...
In such case the goodness should be conserved as rF2.
