If it's part of the real sport it should be simulated accurately. End of.

Nice.

@fish998765432 The sport has nothing to do with crashing, the physics of fast driving wich is the sport is very accurately simulated.

@fish998765432 I know your comment is two years old but I'd rather them perfect the driving and handling aspect of the simulation before the crashes. It's a driving simulator more than it is a crash simulator.

only sim racers can wreck on a straightaway

Almost realistic :p

whocrashes at the straight away really come one that has to be on purpose

[b3astmode01]

Yeah thats really realistic you fuckin moron!

@b00mYou But iRacing doesn't yet model that kind of extreme damage, nor is energy transfer taken into account in the damage model. But that energy has to go SOMEWHERE, so in the case of extreme contact, cars bounce off each other. It's not an indication of unrealistic physics, it's simply the result of a system that doesn't have all the pieces of the puzzle in place yet.

But what sim DOES represent collisions realistically when there's a HUGE disparity between the speed of the two cars?

[DJK83]

@b00mYou No, it's not an "outdated pile of crap". First of all, that clip is over 2 years old; iRacing has improved quite a bit, and the results of hard contact aren't as exaggerated anymore.

But what you need to understand is, during a crash, vehicle physics and damage modeling are interconnected -- how violently a car reacts to being hit depends on how much it deforms upon impact to absorb that energy. With these CRAZY hits being shown in replays, real cars would be absolutely torn apart. 

[b00mYou]

Yeah, that yellow truck flying 50 ft in the air was really realistic. Everyone swears by this game which makes me want to play it, then I watch footage and see stupid unrealistic shit like this, and makes me happy I don't waste my money on this outdated pile of crap anymore.

Well thats gonna hurt the Safety Rating!
