Richard Burns Rally - Subaru Impreza 95 - Joux Verte Gravel

@iHobbiiT I don't think that's possible, unless you find a way to emulate pixel shaders somehow, but I'm not aware how that can be done. What graphics card is it? I used to play on a Radeon 9800 XT AGP card and it worked fine.

Still the best rally simulation. Nice driving!

@wubble78 Thanks Ian! Yeah, sadly nobody has made a newer rally SIM yet, it's been what, 7-8 years since RBR came out?

@hristoitchov That's because from the economical point of view, making a proper rally sim is a waste of money.

Hardcore simracers are just a small margin of the market, that's why we have just few titles that can be called sims.

Problem with rally sims is that rallies in USA aren't as popular as in other parts of the world. And if we remamber that US is the biggest gaming market in the world, it's easy to understand why we don't have another rally sim.

@PodkreconyZiutek Sims are never made with profit in mind to begin with. They're made out of passion. If a single coder could create the physics engine of RBR and considering that was nearly 10 years ago, it wouldn't take a lot of resources to do it even better these days. Not that I like modern rally cars, they've become too stable and grippy, and are boring to watch compared to those 10, 15 or 20 years ago.

@hristoitchov I agree, sims are made from passion to motorsport, but economical point of view is also important.

Without profits, you cannot concentrate on the project completely and it become just a free time hobby. Oftcourse good racing/rally sims can be made by a small team of hobbyists, but it will take a long time to finish and final product might not be as good as expected.

Just look at NKPro. Its a great sim with a great physics engine, but it's still just a beta with many issues.
