How Capable will RaceLeague be for Sim Racing?
Let's get one thing out of the way, though, RaceLeague does not claim to be a new sim. This game, developed by a single Finn, is aimed at a more casual crowd.That said, tuning your setups for cars will be possible. The extent of this is quite simple. Also, wheels will be supported, however, force feedback is only said to be implemented "if feasible".
Furthermore, a whole damage model is planned including suspension, aero and engine damage. The online leaderboards and multiplayer modes, however, allow for the kick of adrenaline and competition that is needed.
