Palm Beach and Atlanta Updated for rFactor 2

[Paul Jeffrey]

Two new tracks updated to DX11 "rain effects" in rFactor 2! Check out the full list of updated content released so far..

Following on from the recent December "Rain Effects" build update to rFactor 2, Studio 397 continue to steadily update all the official content of the title, getting the cars and tracks into shape for the new DX11 rain feature standards as the developers look to bring together the full official content roster into compatibility with what was a pretty sizable new build from late last year.

As part of the program of updates, the latest tracks to receive the full wet weather treatment have been both the Palm Beach and Atlanta Motorsports Park locations, both now fully compatible for the new rain effect features as they hit version 2.20 and 1.28 respectively.

i still think they should have just made a new game, this frankensteining of rf2 is silly.

Is silly for you and those that dont have anything to do,then complain about everything...grow up please....

your comment makes no sense, i simply said i think it would be better for them to start a fresh rather than keeping modifying an old game that clearly wasn't designed with things like VR and dx 11 in mind

you fanboys are so defensive it's unreal

 

[MarcG]

So people who don't agree with you are Fanboys? #Facepalm

not at all, but his comment literally made no sense and then proceeds to tell me to grow up, why? simply because i said they'd be better to make a new game? seriously normal ppl don't jump down someones throat like that, it's a classic fanboy reaction

There is no such thing as "starting fresh" in game industry. Starting fresh and building something like rF2 takes 10 years for a small dev team. Every game is based on a previous release in some way, pCars 2 is based on pCars 1 which is based on SimBin games, iRacing was based on old Papyrus engine, etc.

 

[whip]

you kinda just made my point a little

e.g. pcars2 is a new title which improves upon pcars 1, they didn't keep trying to hack new stuff into pcars that it was never designed to do

 

[MarcG]

It's a pointless discussion Whip as the decision was made long ago to continue RF2 development and not start "a fresh", you can either live with that or play something else that suits your needs and impressions better.

 

[whip]

i don't understand the hostility, it's as if i insulted your families or something, i'll leave you lot to it

lol no need to get so defensive

 

[kolysion]

i think here only fanboys.
Forza 7 is the best game actually.

What do you say fanboys ?

People don't use constructive criticism anymore it's just come in, it's trash, start over. all the work was crap. That's just inflammatory and no way to join a discussion.

Though you'd never believe it from reading your OWN posts on the Forza forums.

Problems with vsync, problems with activating dlc, flags flickering in internal views, internal steering wheel locked to 90 degrees rotation, no mirrors in some cars. Not to mention your 8 point wish-list of which 2 are bug fixes required and another 5 already exists in every sim you've trashed here today.

But hey they gave you a nice shirt for your 'Drivatar' instead of the refund you posted about getting so it's all win I guess.

Fanboys be cheap these days

 

[RichardHessels]

Hope they fix the smoke someday. Ugly is a understatement regarding it.

Smoke? You mean those flat circular shaped images that accumulate behind the car under extreme circumstances. Indeed those could do with a update after 15 years.
From the driver perspective they can still do the job. From any other angle it looks silly (nowadays).

The point of PCars 2 was just to milk another cow. That's the reason why PCars 2 has still similar issues as PCars 1 as it is built uopn the same tech. Now tell me what you prefere: paying twice for the same bugs or getting long support for a game?

 

[tonio duran]

Nothing fps does not shoot rage project cars without deactivating the rain because it would be disloyal to have some rain and others not because in rfactor 2 can be deactivated I would throw a new rfactor 3 a lot of work without great fruits is discouraging with the physics that has rfactor 2 but not in the gums !!!! they reheat much 400 degrees eatian the gums melted much curro 397 !!!!

Agreed. Project Cars 2 is based on Project Cars 1 which is based on rFactor/ISI engine (besides tyre model which is either completely independently from ISI or modified). This is also a part of why oddities in the Project Cars vehicle dynamics still exist (such as odd behavior at and over the limit).

 

[Msportdan]

new cpm will have fixed that issue. Read michael bordas physics blog regarding an error in rf2 tyre model.
