rFactor 2 Developer Q&A

Yes. That made my day

I know it will be ready when its ready, but any guess on when I should go buy my new wheel lol?

 

For the beta?

Download, paid via PayPal, Moneybookers, like rF1.

 

You seem to be in a mood for giving out clues Tim....
So, do I need to keep some money aside for paypal before my next pay date on 3rd December?

 

Someone missed it.

 

I don´t know if this has already been asked. I hope not.

Could we customize races / championships?

Some examples:

- A pit stop before lap 20 for everybody
- Minimum two pit stops
- F1 qualify mode: Q1, Q2, Q3
- V8 Supercars point table: some races gives more points to the winner than other races
- WTCC format: two legs with inverted grid

Thanks.

 

I think it is a good time to start fishing for answers (especially when I look at his avatar )

 

It was cool to see in the beta Formula Renault 3.5, so add this to this game, please. Thanks

 

I think one of them will be cart. So, one of the Historic series, cart series and then probably one of the more modern series. So the handling of them will be different as much as can be.

 

I think it's time to announce when the beta will be launched, what will be the content of it etc...

Some PR please, what ISI is up to these days, what are we waiting ? The tools are being finished ? Lot of modders dont know the details of rFactor 2.

Let's move on the price debate, people will join or not who cares...

Back on track please.

 

Will be some promotional video befor beta?

 

Ok, I'm on it.
Oh wait. It's not up to me. I don't even know the damn date.

Hell, it's not even friday.

 

lol i should have asked yesterday it was friday ^^

 

I don't usually agree with shum94 but I think this is good advice. rFactor 2 is having a PR disaster right now and I'd like to see things turns around before Tim jumps off of a tall building.

 

Don't know if it have been asked before but I'm a little confused with offline/online matters...
will we need internet Connection to offline race against AI ??

 

As i understand, no. offline will be the same as rf1 (but no LAN)

 

Indeed, it has been stated that you can do all the offline stuff (thus including racing the AI) if you don't have an online account.

 

Hi, decided to join the forums after months of following how things develop Seems like this sim is going to be my choice for sim racing. I do have some questions.
Can you change the default Ai drivers names and "personalities"? Since it would be cool to put some of my favourite drivers on the R-trainers for example. I assume not since it would cause problems online when having ai drivers in the session.
Can you feel the cars better this time around, when they're on the limit etc.?
In iracing which i tried, lack of G forces and physical feedback is compensated by having tire screeching sound pretty loud, so you have a que for knowing when you're on the limit, will Rf2 have similiar things? Rf always had this feeling that the car wasn't connected to the track somehow, like you're driving on ice or something. Has this been corrected by the tire physics?
I have high expectations for this sim, tyre physics and Ai. I can't wait to try it out
Keep up the good work and release the beta soon!

 

You nearly got me...

 

Actually, waiting for calmness is a much better move than burying good news in what some see as bad news.

We've actually been communicating quite a bit lately, if you hadn't noticed. I've given out a few nuggets, but you'll probably need to search my posts to see them. I apologize in advance for the posts which don't give information, and are just me answering the same question over and over.

 

No, you won't need a connection to race offline. You will need one to first activate the software for offline competition. That's it.
