rFactor 2 is coming

 

[Paul Godden]

Its rather strange to explain to people that dont know sim racing though

I know what you mean - a driver swap with somebody in a different country is a little hard to get your head around to start with!! :laugh2:

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

I am ready for rfactor 2!! Bring it on ISI

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Did somebody picked up some news about a possible release?

 

[ufunacaoenn]

well I did not pick up news but I heard about that it might be releast in the midel of spring and summer.

ISI working on bike physics for rFactor 2

Not sure proper bike physics will be available for the initial release

Quote from rF2's twitter page...

God let that be true please :woop:

 

[Kevin Ascher]

I just wonder what would be a proper controller for bikes

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

There are/were actually good steers for bikes... Posted them before somewhere but can't find them.

500cc mods please

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Found it

More info: here

And another one (check the dude in his outfit lol)

More info: here

 

[Kevin Ascher]

LOOL that guy really is crazy

2nd problem would be that I don't even know how a bike is controlled (where is the acclerator, the brake, the clutch) ..

But it really looks cool, good find Bram

I used to just use my MOMO for Superbike 2001, worked very well....
Paddels for Accelerate (right/up) and Brake (left/dwn)
Foot pedals for Gears
The steering wheel give a better experience then a keyboard, mainly with the precision in steering.


This could really open for some good mods,
500cc days of Late 80's and 90's..... can't wait for some Doohan Domination

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

..... can't wait for some Doohan Kevin Schwantz Domination

Agreed :thumb:

 

[Ryan Callan]

Meh...

 

[Josh Healy]

Agreed :thumb:

Any of them would do me :sinister:
Doohan, Schwantz, Rainey, Gardner, Lawson....they are all legends

 

[Ryan Callan]

An X360 pad is actually pretty good as a bike controller. Leaning both fore and aft is very easy with the thumbstick. Using rear and front brakes is a little problematic, but that could be solved by using the right thumbstick for acceleration/braking and the triggers for the seperate brakes.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Let's start working on the Randy Mamola mod then Drifting, wheelies, frontstoppers, :woot: bring it on

 

[Trebor901]

Surely ISI will have to bring someone in to help work on the bike physics otherwise i can see it being a half arsed attempt just to show that bikes physics can be done in the new engine.

 

[Dave Flower]

Ha ha ha - and I thought trucks on track with lupos was crazy - trucks with bikes lol!

 

[Michael Herrmann]

bring on Giacomo Agostini and his inline6 MV Augusta

 

[Brad Johnson]

ha ha ha, i nearly spat my coffee out when i saw Bram with his Schwantz Domination quotation. Schwantz only won the title coz Rainey crashed at Assen and ended his career. Don't get me wrong Revin Kevin was a good rider, but he never dominated like Rainey or Doohan did.
