Rennsport Will Have A Major Esports Event Before The Beta First Drops

Jonny Austin said:

It is good that they are delaying the beta because it is not ready but keeping the Esports events?Why would they put all their eggs in that basket especially when the viewing figures are so low for sim racing.?Its putting the cart before the horse.Looks like they committed to the Esports idea and every employee is ensuring that happens when loyal sim racing nobodies at home are the ones who hand over the money to develop the sim and make it successful.

How has anyone handed over any money yet?

If you mean stick to iRacing were you literally own NOTHING of the content you purchase go for it

A lot of people get hung up over this concept of "ownership" meanwhile the rest of us have been racing every day all day against tens of thousands of others for 15 years now and enjoying every minute of it...

i sunk 300€ or so worth of cars and tracks in iracing and have not renewed my subscription for almost a year, so yeah i definitely know how bad it feels, my money is parked there and i have nothing from it, cant even play offline if i dont shill out 12 bucks per month just for the access. its ridiculous and i got baited. should've known better.

$3 per month after participation credits - if you actually race and not just whine on forums all day long...

Such a pity. I think that they have a hard time to implement it properly since the chose for deferred rendering and TAA as anti aliasing instead of forward rendering and MSAA (same as ACC). This is the biggest mistake that they could make and they made it sadly enough.

ACC with OpenComposite, OpenXR, OpenXR toolkit works pretty well in VR now, despite the statement of the developers for years that the VR quality was due to UE4 restrictions. OpenXR toolkit even added foveated rendering with eye tracking. Seems like also just single monitor for the beta, hopefully just out of time for these features.

Hello friends of virtual motorsport.
I wish the creators all the best, but when I think of what hasn't already been promised...
The marketing buzzword here is e-sports. This will electrify everyone.
Any desk driver will now believe he is the one the world has been waiting for.
I Mostly ride offline or with some buddies for fun on our own server.
What does real digital ownership mean?
A statement that says nothing.
Or does that mean pay to play?
What about the ratio of track temperature to tire air temperature to tire surface and tire sidewall temperature?
Do the tires have a delta in which to operate and how long does it last?
Can tire damage occur if you overdo it with the curbs?
How is about cheating?
Does the player even have vehicle cfg files on his computer?
And if so, how do they want to prevent people from intervening there?
With a checksum comparison?
What about penalties for unsportsmanlike behavior and who decides them?
An algorithm like in Gran Tourismo 6?
Someone hits me and I slide through the chicane and get penalized for taking a shortcut?
Does damage to the body, if any, affect the aerodynamics and thus the handling?
Nothing can be read about it on there Website.
But each new Sim had the best physics. Even better than real physics.
So far, every simulation has promised more than it ultimately delivered.
It's also possible that I've already played too many Sims.
Grand Prix 1-4, Indycar Racing 1&2, Grand Prix Legends and its extraordinary damage model, GTR2, GT Legends, Stunt Car Racer, Viper Racing, etc.
Don't get me wrong, but I'm missing something really new.
A sim incl. role play. What successes have I had, will I be able to move to a higher class? Poaching attempts etc.
DTM Race Driver from Codemasters took a direction that I would like to see again.
Certainly not a Supersim but my season results decided where the journey went.
One class higher or equal, Monoposti or GT or resign.
Something like that paired with the damage model from Grand Prix Legends where you saw a drive shaft fly off the car in front, for example.
Unfortunately, it wasn't great when you were in the racecar.
You never knew if the car would make it through.
Even the damage model from Grand Prix 4 wasn't limited to just a few paint scratches.
The car could be properly disassembled.
And that at the time when computers were better calculators than today's computers.
That Rennsport doesn't hype me.
AC looks pretty much the same now thanks to all the mods and when I think of the new Tree FX. I'm not trading a sim for another that isn't really better, at least for now.
But that's just my very personal opinion.
