Msportdan · Mar 7, 2016

Just wondering is there lack of staff or is it coming out of beta, time of year or what?!

just asking

Msportdan · Mar 8, 2016

to be fair I don't have any bugs or game breakers it's an awesome sim. Just a little thin on quality content only a few mods worth playing and still few major old isi cars needs updating.

There are some amazing licenses in their possession. However if the big tickets haven't been made by now, I doubt they will before they get around their next title.

Don't you have bugs yourself?

You answerd your first question.

SLI Issues in Build 1052 are still not addressed.
Multiview UI, don`t save monitor height.
Bug in the rF2 LOD system which removes the LOD's every time you switch to TV cam. (-20-30% FPS)
Car or track selection is not taken into account.
A real race driver will expect the wet racing line to reward you in rF2 but it doesn't, which makes wet weather racing useless.
etc,etc,etc............

rf2 LOD bug is now fixed in build 1052 and VEC now use the latest build.

Lol, VEC and other serious leagues did not use latest builds in 2014-2015, why ?
Answer: Unstabil builds with loads of bugs.

You are correct, VEC didn't use latest builds, but I think it's only because of driver swap issues. In non-endurance races rF2 has worked fine since 2014. FSR always used latest build, I know as I was running the league in 2014 season.

Ari Antero · Mar 9, 2016

Question was, which bugs do I have. rF2 LOD bug is fixed but not if SLI is used.
I am aware That build in 1052 is "VEC" update and I hope that next build is to majority of users.

According to Jimmy Alison from VEC people was able to join with cars which was not included in the mod which made cheating possible.

Dont really keep up with rF2's licenses. What have they got hidden away?

Im aware of the Corvette DP, and the Nissan GT 500 car... but not much else. Anything noteworthy?

Thanks

I'd like to see some math simply to have fun speculating when rF2 will be "done". For example, alternating between new content and old content updates means that updates to old content will take twice as long and even once updated will need to be updated again because engine is still changing which requires additional rounds of updates.

So using example numbers because I don't care enough to look it up:

Outdated content = 20
New content = 20

Pace of updates = 1 release per month split between old vs new = 1 update every 2 months

All vehicles updated if nothing changes with engine = 40 months
Both new and old from this point on will also need to change again because engine not done so add another 40 months = 80 months

In 80 months content will need updates again because graphic models will not be up to future standards so will need to be updated again so add another 40 months so now at 120 months equals 10 years and by then Forza 17 will be available haha

Of the public knowledge there is a very pretty turbo f1, there's the westlake eagle, and the 95 reynard.

I'm afraid this pretty much sums up the situation

"03-24-16 TW: There is a new build due, but didn't make today, so probably will be a week minimum."

From a former tester, let me assure you it is quite good to hold back a build. Sometimes there is very little true improvement and a weird glitch pops up, breaking something elsewhere. It's always best to let a release candidate go through a VEC, or similar, race weekend. So if you have a build that is stable and not causing user hassle, which seems to be the case with 1052, there is no point in rushing an update.

So the Marussia is unavailable everywhere except through Remote Content download. I wonder if it's a temporary hiccup, instead of some conspiracy. An update would be very welcome! Chassis flex, new helmet, new tires with less super tire wear, and (one can dream) proper camber and tire pressure values.

Unavailable where? It's listed on main car page.
