Jessica, Darin & Shaun of InsideSimRacing.tv were recently joined by Image Space Incorporated's Gjon Camaj who visited the guys for an interview in an upcoming SRT episode. ISI's head-honcho did not come empty-handed though as Camaj showed off rFactor 2's user interface for the very first time. Below are six screenshots of the interface, showing off what looks like a major improvement over rFactor's much criticised UI-system.Taking a closer look, the screenshots reveal some very interesting details as the task bar gives away the version number used by Camaj for the presentation - 0.783. Also, we´re starting to get an idea on the ...
About a year ago, Team NLC announced a sucessor to their popular VLN 2005 mod for rFactor, planning to bring the 2009 season of Germany's popular racing series to the simulation. For almost twelve months, the team has been quietly working in full force on their massive project and is now able to present us with a very big batch of renders to show off their progress. The renders show twelve different car models sporting various liveries. While some models like the Renault Clio or the Mini Cooper S have been converted, others have been equipped with new parts such as the ...

Virtua_LM has released new previews of another stunning track creation for rFactor, showing us new shots of the Japanese Fuji Speedway in late 80s specification. Located near the famous Mount Fuji in Oyama, Japan, Fuji Speedway was opened in 1963. The track was a popular venue for sports car races as the track was part of the FIA World Sports Car Championship for Group C prototypes from 1982 to 1988. Even though the track was slowed down with two chicanes during the 80s, speeds on the track remained very high thanks to the 1.5 kilometer main straght - The longest in motorsports. [nggallery ...

Nice, at least better than that guy. (the one than keeps repeating definitive racing game). I wonder how long did it take them to model all these graphics .. looks really amazing as long as my xbox can handle it.

They too are doing simulation physics that no other game can touch? Amazing, there I was thinking NFS:Shift physics is going to put everything else to shame but John Wendl here tells me otherwise!

Nice, but NFS Shift look’s more polished, that’s before even mentioning GT5.

Not trying to be nitpicky but John Wendl did emphasize the importance of getting all the details right in Forza 3. Yet there will be one thing that you won’t see on any of the cars in Forza 3: active aero. Meaning that in the Audi R8 for example where the spoiler goes up once you hit 60 mph but in FM3 you won’t see that. Considering that the R8 is the featured car for the game (it’s on the boxart as well), it’s pretty important to get the most apparent details in.

Has active aero been featured in any game? Even more disturbing, as the car list has expanded in the GT and Forza series there have been a number of car modeling errors. Notably the Honda s2000 in Forza 2.
I don’t know everyone has their own little thing but it’s just hard for me to take any of these guys’ claims of attention to detail seriously when errors like that exist.

If that is what they call roll over then I think I rather have none at all. While rFactor’s is not perfect it it a 100x more convincing than that.
