    Wish :

    That all past, present and future ISI / S397 tracks have grass with "volume" and more flowers / plants etc.

    I note that :

    - The immersion and the graphic realism are much better (I just played 5 hours in Assetto Corsa).
    - I also note and especially that many tracks of modders on RF2 have a "real" more or less dense grass, while having performances equal or superior to tracks ISI / S397.

    As for the choice of the technique used, as you want !

    PS: Assetto Corsa, the grass is very convincing, although the technique used seems simplistic.

    Assetto Corsa doesn’t know if it’s a racing sim or a "pick your dream car and go for a nice drive in the country with a stop for a picnic" sim - many of the cars are completely unsuited to going on track. It is nice in VR, looking around it’s easy to believe you are sitting in your dream car and when you "get out" of the car unlike rF the rear wheels are present :D

    I was only talking about the graphics of the grass that provide a great immersion.

    Without wanting to offend anybody, AC is between the simulation and the arcade : that is to say according to me not a true simulation.

    But I would dream to have these supercars on RF2. A shame that we do not have 1, 2 or 3 beautiful supercars with the latest physical technologies. What a pity !

    I guess the question should not be if a game is arcade or simulation due to different artwork, wich is quite frankly a bit stupid discussion. The question should be how the immersion can be improved to enhance the simulation and if it is realsitic after all. In that sense AC is not a good example because the grass is simply too high for racing tracks that get maintained on a regular base. They improved this though, when I take a look at ACC and it looks reasonably realsitic there. Another question is, if it is really a point that should have high priority? I would rather see more core functionality added to the sim, like surface, ambient temps, wind or fog before we go forward to new cosmetic features. On the content side I would like to see old content maintained up to current spec before they move on to add new features like 3d grass to all tracks. Looking at the list in the rainupdate there are quite a few tracks missing some features. Next to the fact that I personaly see them rather working on new content up to current spec, than spending their time to add something that you will barely notice while racing. Why not a have a completely new track instead of 3d grass added to all tracks? 3d grass is in my opinion something of relatively low priority that should only be added if they have some sparetime to really add it to all tracks.

    Yes I agree the grass texture is not important for me and you but we should have to take into account there are many types of user using rf2. DrivingFast obviously puts graphics as a first priority so grass is important to him. And who are we to say otherwise? He has every right to want better graphics just like others want physics and ffb improvements for example.

    Not a big fan of the grass added by some mods, they look ugly in most views, S397 have to find a way to make their own. I just hope when do it they move this setting to a separate video option (and 3d trees too)

    The question is why do not they do it while even the modders do it on their track, and their tracks have good performances.

    But I agree this is not a priority at all, just a small wish because I almost played for the first time at Assetto Corsa, and really it adds something.

    And dear @Filip, this little spade was not necessary ........

    You said you were playing Asetto Corsa for 5 hours.
    That game is between the simulation and the arcade according to your words.
    More arcade games have much nicer grass, that is a common knowledge and it will always be like that. Just like serious sims have better gearbox models.
    If you want event better grass than Asseto Corsa I suggest you try AMS. It is full arcade.
