How many real-world tracks and fictional tracks will be included in the release? For online simulation players I hope each get at least 2 solid real playable tracks in each 6 (4hour) time-zones worldwide. Will there be a preferred driving style for RF2? ie open wheel, touring cars, retro etc? Will most FFB wheels be supported? Will they be have an accurate feeling or will we need privately developed patches? I hope FR2 will continue the tradition, it might not be the best presented or have the best graphics, but feels the most real behind the wheel.

- Will be ful manual clutch shifting be implemented (like grinding tranny mod for rf1)? Most important featue for me.
- I'm currently working on track for rf1, and It's gonna be finished when rf2 will be released, so will be rf1 track be compatible with rf2?

Call of duty is changed and made by two compenys. every 2 years there is a new Call of duty from one of the companys

I think i'll combine some of the above to the one what a lot of people will want to know for sure..

Will the rF modded content be transferrable to rF2?

If yes, will you provide developement tools or will you let modding community to guess it by them selves (results in poorly working clutter of small editors...)? Some of the fun in modding is to "crack" the code by trial and error but it's frustrating, time consuming and results are never as good as with proper dev package.

My question for Tim:

From the perspective of a company like ISI, what are the most significant changes in the gaming market since the release of rFactor - and are those changes part of the reason behind the new online model announced with rF2?

 

[William Levesque]

COD died at MW1... From there it's just more of the same guys... WaW was decent though, but anyway

 

[Flavio Borgna]

the setup could be changed during pit-stop?

 

[Scott Webber]

stick to the topic guys.
ISI when rFactor 2 is released will you be supporting any leagues in particular?

Do you guy's have a action plan on releasing DLC for the first year? if so would you give us a hint on what to expect? Thanks.

We know there's rain, and that it's raining on the windows, drying lane, and so on. But is snow being added?

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

the announcement of "next year" is nicely hidden up there somewhere, lol. my question: will long distance racing with driver swap be supported?

 

[Edgar Herrero]

Will leagues be able to still creating their own customized mods for their leagues? Like custom helmets, paints, etc... from another mod?

Greetings.

 

[Sercan Acikgoz]

will there be ghost car of the best lap? i mean when practicing it would help much for improving.

 

[William Levesque]

A very important feature in my opinion:

Will there be many transmission behaviors ?

Normal street car stick shift, proper sequential shifting (No lift and clutch on upshift, use of clutch/heel and toe on downshifts, clutch on standstill), F1 style paddle shifting (Clutch on standstill, none while shifting) and maybe also a proper automatic transmission behavior ?

To that you can also have proper clutch and transmission damage...

Thank you for your hard work !

In the event of an accident it almost always results in the loss of fluids be it water, oil or both. This can have a significant affect on the outcome of other drivers also. I think the inclusion of this feature would add to the immersion and realism of the sim. Another feature that also seems to get missed is the wind. It goes without saying that by altering that one set of parameters for wind speed and direction every track is going to feel different every time you visit it.

You mean the fluids making the surface slippery, so drivers that are unaware of it might spin out?

I guess I have several questions, but none in particular now.

I'm wondering how cars will be handled. Maybe its been answered but I would still like to know. In rFactor the cars were done in groups based on series. In rFactor 2 will it be all the cars in one group or will it be split like it was for rFactor?

 

[Kennett Ylitalo]

Couple more questions:

Mechanical damage, what parts are affected, what behaviour is left out for gameplay reasons and how much is the difference comparing to rF1 damage system?

Collision boundaries, do the cars now physically occupy their volume in space? Or is it approximated system that avoids some of the latency related problems?
