I don’t like the pictures. So sick already of that sepia “nextgen” coloring . We see this “style” in almost every genre now . A something that looks like a medieval watercolor found in a dusty loft. Why just not do it like it is in reality without any visual style applied. Nature is so beautiful and there is absolutely no need to cripple it with any kind of coloring. Even the rainy picture looks like had been taken during WW2 on a kind of dull early color film.

F1Racer…good reasoned post. I love iRacings Laser scanned tracks which are extremely accurate (both on track and off), but it’s not absolutely necessary for a ‘study’ sim like an F1 model. I would only hope for reasonably accurate tracks along the line of many old GTR level products.

Since I don’t really drive classic ‘arcade’ type racing games, I really want to see a decent effort at an F1 simulation and can’t really be optimistic about what I’ve recently read about this. But hey, if they delivered it would be a pleasant surprise.

Montoya: The thing is that “trolling” is something no one can do anything about.If felipe thinks everything but Gran Turismo is rubbish then he’s free to voice his opinion. God knows I don’t agree with him but not agreeing is part of having a discussion.Anyways, I try to keep these comments as little moderated as possible as I know that many people hate forums that are strictly moderated.
But when it comes to swearing, a line is crossed. That does not add anything to the conversion but just upsets some people. So please discuss and argue but keep it civil…don’t post anything that you wouldn’t want your own kids (if you have any) to read here….

Thats fair.

Pressed submit too soon, so ill finish here Because i cant edit.

Ill drop it. Ill just give felipe the rope and he can hang himself from now on.

Rob, if you find my swear word anymore offensive than the excessive unmoderated trolling that felipe partakes in, then go ahead and remove my post please.

Well, there was absolutely no need to swear, I think is what the problem was. Civility costs nothing.

JAGUAR1977: I take it I’m not a sim racer as, given the option, one of the first things I’d do would be scrap the formation lap, I’ve got better things to do than waste 3 virtual minutes.

Agreed! Maybe for leagues that race once a week, but I wouldn't want to waste my time with a formation lap either. Just start rolling 5 secs before you cross the s/f line is plenty of time.

Its a fair point about the formation lap. The option is in rFactor but I virtually never use it.

Although on the flip side of that, if you are going to make a full F1 sim…

So… formation lap is fun? I can’t really see anything fun in it. Besides, what purpose gameplay-wise would it serve? The only thing that could happen is crashing when trying to heat up the tires, engine stalling (Minardi, where are you? We need more break downs during formation lap!) or stopping in the wrong start bracket.

zDToddy: C) is it so hard to believe? every CM game using this engine has this problem and for the looks of this pics they still didn’t fixed it.

Siggs: Bloom and colour palette is not a problem, it’s the other elements of the graphics I’m interested in. Look here;http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/showthread.php?t=190078g

Read the thread please :roll:

Hmmm Shift doesnt have laser scanned tracks and they have good quality, apart from the fictional objects and some bumps :p

paupau: There’s two of them, Oran Park LiDAR and Eastern Creek.

Indeed. Eastern Creek was the one I forgot about.

The fact that they laser scan the tracks does not say anything about what you are going to experience. Even if they do scan every single corn of sand in Bahrain, they can only show you so many polygons before your computer will drop below 30 fps.

And if they do focus on making the main part of the track very detailed, it will look very boring to average zombie gamer if there are no fake advertisement, amusement park, Ferris Wheel, cloned crowd etc.

I don’t think that realism is something that codemasters are very committed to, especially when 90% of the target audience isn’t even old enough to have a drivers license.

F1Racer: ..GP4 didn’t have laser scanned tracks, GPL didn’t, rFactor (apart from 1 that I know of)..

There's two of them, Oran Park LiDAR and Eastern Creek.

MartyParty: OT: L.A.S.E.R was originally named L.O.S.E.R = Light Oscillation by Stimulated Emission of RadiationSource: http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg18925442.000-the-word-loser.html

Cool, I wasn't aware of that :) Although I can see why they didn't stay with that :) Would hate to be shot with a loser gun :) Although most internet users would no doubt be armed with looser guns instead :)
