rFactor 2 Rain Experiment

[ps2knutz]

i love wet racing. one of the reasons i still play GT5

[MakuthePOtHead]

@ps2knutz try amg academy on the highest difficulty. Whole lap of nordshleife in 100% wet condidion in an sls amg with no aids ! Thats the shit ! I was 2 sec away from gold on this one. I so love to fight for grip on that track !

[TheCarWrecker]

Next time with steering wheel...

[GraveUypo]

sorry but this is awful. looks like something a kid in his early teens would make in after effects to show his gramma how talented he is.

though i have to say the still water in the corners of the screen don't look THAT bad.

[Veiko96]

Is it free

[kubax6789]

od kiedy bolidy f1 mają okrągłe kierownice ?????

[wdowa94]

@kubax6789 Chyba chciałeś powiedzieć od kiedy nie mają okrągłych kierownic- i tu odpowiadam- chyba od połowy lat 80

[Trux74]

Will weather be present in the open beta?

[Danny91252973a]

Shouldnt it be water droplets? And if so, they should also slide off to the side of the helmet due to the strong winds.

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Danny91252973a Yes, but this was (an old now) tech experiment. :)

[BeastlyRig]

@ImageSpaceInc it actually makes it look realer! Can't wait to see the new rain!

[harryhardest]

@ImageSpaceInc

Please do now charge for online gaming in rF2, unless you want only freaky gamers to play your game.

P2P MMO are dissapearing nowadays.

You better sell it at high price (60 USD) rather that drawing online races.

Tx for your attention

[MegaMrDamo]

@Danny91252973a Well rFactor has always been shit XD

[MrSpraycanproduction]

does someone know at what site i can buy rFactor please a url

thanks

[Aphorism89]

@MrSpraycanproduction At piratebay -dot- org

[GameplayXperience]

WOWOW most realistic rain i've ever seen!!!!

[VonBlade]

No. No. No. Rain doesn't fall onto your goggles. It comes towards them, and streams away at the sides. Please don't fall into the lazy codemasters way of doing rain.

[1q3er5]

@VonBlade agreed i just ride motor cycles and well i havent ridin in really heavy rain but this effect seems to be a tad overdone.

[micahj1398]

Live typo

[micahj1398]

@Mastermind12358 okay??? Just wondering I love in the U.S. and have NO CLUE what it takes lol hahaha

[Fragtag13]

@13FX I'm 16 YO and son about to start driving to be a F1 racer or other and I love in the U.S. Wondering what it takes to reach the goal to being a F1 driver please comment.

[Fragtag13]

@grigor2395 read below comment

[Fragtag13]

grigor2395 ok this is my other account from micahj1398... Ok if your a F1 racer show me since you know everything about F1 and I'll take it all back besides F1 being a better game then Rfactor and this is my opinion so get off my dick also have u ever played F1!??! Also I own rfactor it's a good game I just like F1 better Rfactor looks Like it was made in like 2000 and all games have good simulation duh

[I3FX]

@Fragtag13 I'm a racing driver in real life, a F1 hopeful, had a couple tests at sepang in a Formula BMW & a Formula Renault 2.0 (Tatuss), I have to say, it felt pretty damn close to the real thing when I hopped on rFactor. But do take note that I used FREX products so it won't be the same as say a G25.

excuse for bad english

[guitarman2134568]

Don't get me wrong, I love rFactor, but iRacing is still miles ahead of this and any other car racing game. You just cannot beat the level of detail that the iRacing crew puts into their game...I will be buying rFactor 2, no doubt, but iRacing will still hold the place, for me, as the best and most realistic driving game.

[harumatsu]

@guitarman2134568 the most expensive too...

[DrivingSimulatorTV]

Excellent game

[chrismcdonaldracing]

i do like the fact that there working on rain and weather but they need to map out the tracks better like iracing dose in order to get me to switch from iracing

[nikosf3n]

Rfactor 2 will never be released!! It's just developing a never ending perfection

[RidgeRacerLord]

@nikosf3n Looking like GT5 all over again. Though don't take this in the wrong way, both are excellent games, but in differing amounts of sim aspects.

[PolariceSwiss]

Looks like the Skip Barber, Rfactor is really good, but graphics and tracks arent so realistic, I mean I own LFS, Rfactor and Iracing, thats why my comment, but Rfactor is number 2 for me, even when I dont play it anomore after meeting Iracing

[grigor2365]

@micahj1398 Here's the PM you sent me "Yeah exactly a adult wasting your life on games, and why does all these fags think that we F1 lovers are kids??? What because we actually know a thing it two about games if your so obsessed about it then how about you race in real life dumb ass."

If you are still wondering why these fags think that you F1 lovers are kids? It's because they actually know a thing or two about real life racing, just because some of us have real life racing experience

[grigor2365]

@micahj1398 By the way, just because you cannot drive rfactor it doesn't mean rfactor is not good or unrealistic, it means exactly the opposite. Keep trying, who knows? Maybe one day you might succeed! But please do yourself a favor and don't write here that rfactor doesn't really feel as real as F1 2011 because you only make yourself look like a fool with such an air minded comment!

[MrStig691]

@grigor2365 You rFactor snobs are pathetic, it really is no more of a simulator than f1 2011. Simulator is more than just the handling, an even then, rfactor is only on par.

[Mastermind12358]

@micahj1398 /facepalm

u stupid much ?.

[ceSniperisback]

youy should post a lap, not 100mts and crash. At high speed the water washes out, so it shouldnt be an issue

[ImageSpaceInc]

@BoyGameSuper later this year

[Yarach]

Wil this also be released in Holland. I couldn't find rFactor 1 anywhere.

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Yarach rfactor.net is worldwide

[BrunoGuitarDreamer2]

OMG incredible graphic realism! I wonder how much powerful will be the next generation... It's hard to imagine the next step.

[SovietWookie1]

Will all rfactor 1 mods work straight off with rfactor 2?

[xilix]

@SovietWookie1 No. It's not a drag and drop procedure.

[ImageSpaceInc]

@SovietWookie1 no

[ImageSpaceInc]

@launger That's pretty far off as a reason. It's not released yet because it ISN'T where you say it is. :)

[NickJ95GB]

would this or rfactor 1 work on a 250gb 3gb ram 2011 acer laptop? please replyy

[ordnas1234]

@NickJ95GB Most important: wich graphic card?

[NickJ95GB]

@ordnas1234 Integrated Intel® HD Graphics

Microsoft® DirectX® 10.0 support

good enough?

[ordnas1234]

@NickJ95GB The game wouldn't have the best graphics in the world but would work!

[ImageSpaceInc]

@NickJ95GB Which one? HD3000?

[ImageSpaceInc]

@NickJ95GB depends on the gfx card, which wasnt mentioned.

[Marcus666Sund]

Are there gonna be big graphic changes, cause I got big texture freezes and flickering... :(

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Marcus666Sund This video was posted 10 months ago.

[Marcus666Sund]

@ImageSpaceInc I mean, on rFactor not the new one, lol, is there a updated game engine in the new game?

[Marcus666Sund]

@Marcus666Sund graphic engine that is

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Marcus666Sund yes too

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Marcus666Sund yes

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Marcus666Sund this was a test of a very early dev build. As the text explains.

[martin9martin]

rain on the camera reminds me of the F1 2010

[Gazzz87]

I'm liking this. Alot. can't wait to rip an aussie V8 Supercar around bathurst in the rain

[myVRaceLog]

this guy needs rainx

[TzeffNL]

I've seen BETTER rain effects...

[ImageSpaceInc]

@TzeffNL so have we, after we did this WIP test ,in our own software. 

[TzeffNL]

@ImageSpaceInc TIP: the patterns the drops fall in are clearly squares! AND they are from equal size! allow them to fall on unexpected patterns (no squares!) and random sizes and your rain drop will look more realistic...

[ImageSpaceInc]

@TzeffNL As per all of the text in the title of the video, on the video, in the info of the video, this was a dev test, it clearly says experiment, it clearly says WIP. it didn't stay like this, obviously.

[TzeffNL]

And I don't see rain "*streaks"! (*the "lines" of rain you normally see around you) And rain should hit & bounce off the car (including tires!) and also from the track!

[ImageSpaceInc]

@TzeffNL Again, wasn't final. Was WIP, 11 months ago.

[Tarantino2000]

hey had you change someting^^^?



[bebops01]

Cant wait for this to finally come out all looks good so far the sound is going to be great.

[sixteenbitboy]

Raindrops should move to both sides of the camera as speed increases. It actualy seems like the car isn't moving.

[ImageSpaceInc]

@sixteenbitboy WIP

[grinmaster1]

hey, are you guys still working on the rain graphics? the graphics in this video resemble rain but not while driving imho. the raindrops arent as clear when accelerating / moving. simple things like that would make it look way better than it is already :)

[ImageSpaceInc]

@grinmaster1 WIP, from 11 months ago

[streetmachine1984]

Like the guy said below. Disable the smoke and dirt when raining is a good idea.

[iluffkfco4owesome]

I saw the muscle in those new renders hehe Epic.

[ImageSpaceInc]

@TheMikkoHirvonen ?

[LedFanZeppelin]

Schumiisking WTF you dont care about the AI & graphics & I see 31 thumbs up whats that about ? The AI & the graphics are very important if not the most important ! As the tyre models physics & 90% of other things can be updated as necessary by all the great modders & modding groups we have out there ! So to me the base game needs the AI & graphics to be excellent so all the modders out there then have a beautiful platform to build from ! & ! THANKS ! ISI for making such an openly moddable game !

[gomesalison]

@LedFanZeppelin well i will write in favor of schumiisking, a real lover of simulation would prefer much more to drive against real driver than AI because no matter how good is the AI but will never be like a real driver (the reaction will just be a consequence of the code) specially when race is long and you are getting close to the end of the race and the opponent is getting close. Ok to have a good AI but let's not focus on that because it is not the most important feature

[LedFanZeppelin]

@gomesalison I Didnt say Id rather drive against the AI I said that I would like ISI to build the correct bases on rfactor 2 then the modders can do there work but if AI is wrong thats not moddable tyres etc are !

[gomesalison]

@LedFanZeppelin i understand.

[LedFanZeppelin]

@gomesalison My man finally somebody does understand me lol ! Yes the graphics, rain, tyres, length of grids & FFB & netcodes etc. can be fixed by plugins & modders but the AI unfortunely cant be ! So please ISI put the things modders cant change to the top of the list then I assure you will have another classic on your hands ! As to me rfactor is still very playable & Im still loving it so many years on from its original release so I just hope & prey rfactor 2 will be the same !

[ImageSpaceInc]

@LedFanZeppelin this isnt rf1

[ImageSpaceInc]

@LedFanZeppelin ? That's a main reason why the rfactor titles ship with content, so we can try to work out modder issues before modders do. AI much improved in rf2

[ImageSpaceInc]

@LedFanZeppelin This video is WIP and isn't any indication of looks anyway. It's a quick video of an effect in it's very early stages. It's painfully obvious that a lot of people don't understand that. :)

[Tuze]

@LedFanZeppelin "As the tyre models physics & 90% of other things can be updated as necessary by all the great modders & modding groups we have out there !"

So explain me why rFactor 1 doesn't have a mod to make physics worthwhile? surely there should be a mod to make physics to rival netkar pro or LFS?

[LedFanZeppelin]

@Tuze Try the Dazor 2010 v1.2 final mod as the physics are bang perfect on that mod if you dont beleive then watch this video as proof /watch?v=_FMkpRa9ce4 or this one /watch?v=X4jtMMlhpKY as they are as close as its gonna get ! The quality of videos not the best but you can clearly see the comparisons !

[Tuze]

@LedFanZeppelin I don't know if it even can be judged by a video or not, but I'm certainly not impressed, cause I think he was supposed to spin in some parts for going too fast. To get better impression I would have to try that mod myself, but since I don't like the FFB of rFactor or RealFeel, so I don't want to bother. What ppl could do, however, is try the netkar pro demo with the Formula F1600 car, and compare with first hand experience instead of just blindly following rFactor.

[LedFanZeppelin]

@Tuze netkar pro demo I've never heard of that so might give it a try ! is it available from torrent or you have a link or someat ? & I hope the blindly follow rfactor quote wasnt aimed at me as personally I've tryed as many F1 sim games as I've heard of bar IRacing as I have tryed F1c Gp4 LFS GTR GTR legends Ferrari Virtual Acadamy & more but personally rFactor to me is the best as I have a shit cpu & my cpu can run it ok but struggles with many of the others so until cpu upgrade rfactor it is.

[iluffkfco4owesome]

yeah I hope the game doesnt feel like jelly factor 1, this game feels like a floppy penis dildo.

[iluffkfco4owesome]

Can you have a decent 67 mustang, one that doesn't feel like a jelly, please dear?, Just put one in, Thank you.

[piratagabriel]

godammit it's perfect

not better than F1 2010 but still great

[infinity2904]

you should disable dirt/sand "smoke" when raining

[ImageSpaceInc]

@infinity2904 WIP

[ji3200]

@Mer5eyak i cant wait to play this on 3d vision. i can feel the sense of speed in 3d and meanwhile amazing dirt 3 gonna keep me busy. dirt 3 rules!!!!! gran turismo 5 Rally physic suck!!!!

[gomesalison]

@ji3200 honestly i haven't play to gt5 but if you like simulation run out of dirt3, it is just a pure game not even close to a simulation since cars there run really fast, sometimes you take a curve at the same speed that a real f1 car does LOL. On dirt cars are to light so very handy and fast and that's not real or else every year at least 5 pilot would die during a race.

[LRT2432]

Not bad but I don't see the drops streaking off the visor when the car is at speed. The effect looks the same as when the car is stationary.

[ImageSpaceInc]

@LRT2432 WIP

[LosEagle]

Where can I get this game ? Please answer someone :)

[pmt666]

@LosEagle It's not released yet. but look for the company on google: Image Space Incorporated... :-)

[ImageSpaceInc]

@LosEagle rfactor.net - when it's released, which it isn't. as the info on the video says this was a wip demo, an early one, of an effect

[lolsokje]

I have a question: When it's raining and you spin of-track into the gravel, are you still able to get out, or are you stuck. I think it'd be more realistic when you don't get out, cause that's what happens most of the time in real-life, like Button in 2010 in Malaysia

[maskmanyeah]

damn... look at those graphics

[ImageSpaceInc]

@maskmanyeah these were wip, in no way representative of final gfx

[racingislife2011]

i dont think there will ever be a game that is 100% realistic, you can get very, very close, but theres is nothing like racing itself.

[ecotts]

@racingislife2011

I love rfactor but compare its rain with the likes of GT5

/watch?v=SuaLbcas8Rg&feature=r­elated

or

F1 2010

/watch?v=gvIF_Qi229I

It doesn't even come close!

I hope Rfactor 2 in will be better than Rfactor; the original Rfactor with some of them excellent mods out there will be hard to beat.

And I hope they've finally sorted out the hands and feet graphics like we have in GTR2..

[racingislife2011]

@ecotts yeah,f1 2010 was pretty realistic in a lot of ways, but it did have the arcade feel to it. im looking forward to rfactor2 though, its going to be good :)

[ecotts]

@racingislife2011 I'm hoping so, I've ordered my new G27 to replace my G25 it should be here week after next; I'm just waiting for rfactor 2 now..

Any news on a release date yet?

[ImageSpaceInc]

@ecotts any news will be posted in our forums or on rfactor.net

[ImageSpaceInc]

@ecotts do you have any very early development shots of those titles rain effects so it's actually fair to compare them?

[MagicAyrtonforever]

Still got that synthetic crappy sound

[ImageSpaceInc]

@MagicAyrtonforever this is 11 months old, and an early wip of a rain effect. it isn't even representative of the effect in the final version, what makes you think it would be representative of final sound?

[vertigo8]

not a huge fan of the blobbing rain drops

[JontieDesario]

not many people mention it, but this is a very good demo of the physcis as well as rain

[NOXXism]

I like everything but the rain drops are quite annoying :S

[RapBR123]

YAY! The driver's hands moves now! :D

[BigCluster95]

haha WTF a real Car Steering Wheel^^

[Edviuzzz]

Can we run this game in our low end pc`s? :)

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Edviuzzz depends how low end. :)

[Edviuzzz]

@ImageSpaceInc Integrated graphics (nvidia gforce 8200) amd athlon 64x 2.21 ghz 756 mb ram (usable there is 1024mb ram in motherboard)

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Edviuzzz you may need another 1gb ram... minimum specs still being finalized, but it looks that way

[fud3nc1o]

Very nice, but when car is moving, the wind pushes back the water droplets from the helmet visor as the car speed. Right?

[ImageSpaceInc]

@fud3nc1o not in this early WIP it doesn't, no.

[jonahmoffatt]

this is gonna be the best driving game of a generation. anyone know the release date yet?

[ImageSpaceInc]

@jonahmoffatt 2011 is all I can confirm now.

[zanbimaru]

@ImageSpaceInc

are the mods from rfactor 1 gonna work on rfactor 2?

looking great so far guys :D

[ImageSpaceInc]

@zanbimaru not directly, no. some work needed

[LordTyrannus]

@ImageSpaceInc

Does dirt and grime accumulate on the tires and affect performance in rfactor2? For example, if you go wide and hit the gravel.

[camped69]

@ImageSpaceInc Please fix the snap oversteer.

[ImageSpaceInc]

@camped69 this isn't rf1

[Thoragz]

@ImageSpaceInc Can you still confirm it now?

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Thoragz what are you asking me to confirm?

[Thoragz]

@ImageSpaceInc wether you can still confirm itll be released in 2011?

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Thoragz yes.

[MagicAyrtonforever]

Out of all the games coming out this year and that includes GTR3 and dirt 3, this will be the only one I seriously consider buying. Simbin let me down with arcade titles like GTR evo, dirt is too arcade too..

[Player1yt]

I see the word "experiment" in the title, but watching this on (maxed) 360p gave me shivering feeling, because for a second I thought I'm watching the real life footage. The droplets might need tweaking, but they already look better than the ones on the windshield in Gran Turismo 5. Keep it up, and good luck!!

[chadvader93]

lol keyboard driver xD

[ImageSpaceInc]

@chadvader93 developers need keyboards infront of them more than wheels. :)

[quatrupeto]

rFactor2 will be compatible with Tracks and Car Mods for rFactor One?

[ImageSpaceInc]

@quatrupeto not without work

[Cohonees]

amazing graphics!

[GinesCm89]

the IA is will good ?

[Cohonees]

@GinesCm89 sorry?

[ImageSpaceInc]

@GinesCm89 AI very different

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Cohonees they were early wip

[lordlingcp]

im sure that rfactor 2 will have more cars like the one in this video?

[ImageSpaceInc]

@lordlingcp content will be added to, and will ship with some also

[lordlingcp]

@ImageSpaceInc thank you for the (although late :P) reply!

[ImageSpaceInc]

@lordlingcp hehe, usually don't see notifications until I login to this account. :) Sorry.

[Xzibitfreek]

well if rfactor 2 doesnt have f1 cars i continue playing rfactor 1

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Xzibitfreek rf1 didnt

[Xzibitfreek]

@ImageSpaceInc mods

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Xzibitfreek rf2 will have mods...

[Xzibitfreek]

@ImageSpaceInc yeah, i was just sayin^^

[ImageSpaceInc]

@Xzibitfreek I really need to find time to put some more content vids up soon. they're finishing up some gfx efects so maybe after that. i'm really hoping everybody will have some content (car/tracks) they want.

[Thoragz]

@ImageSpaceInc I really appreciate you for taking time to answer all the fans' questions! Very great support, I hope I can do something back for you :)

[NOXXism]

@ImageSpaceInc can you disable the water effects?

[SquareGameplay]

is this really rfactor 2 ? if it is i just came

[ImageSpaceInc]

@SquareGameplay early wip of it, yes
