Paul Kelly: I was about to say, Unk, will people really have time to worry about bloom and HDR when they’re hauling ass in a Williams FW31?http://www.inracingnews.com/formula-one-news/williams-f1-and-iracing-announce-virtual-version-of-att-williams-fw31/

Yeah, that is going to be EPIC. Hopefully they will get some of the F1 tracks, when they are at it. But Mosport, Zolder, Zandvoort, Laguna seca, Brands hatch and Mid Ohio could keep me busy for a while :P

Well, they gave a preview to members…and was only posted on the forums by one of the devs. When it’s released I could see that, but since it was only a preview.

Ahh, so that info was only released in the forums. I guess membership does have its privileges.

Might help bring in new sales if they advertise that stuff outside the service. I’m sure they will when it’s 100% done.

hoboracer: If you have a fast pc, iracing looks great in high res with shadows etc. Screen shots never show the truth of how good or bad the graphics actually are. You have to see it in motion. I didn’t see where they mention if it comes with multiple layouts or not. I think there are 4 or 5 for this track.

They said on the forums it will have 4 layouts.

TheIceman2009: Great track I visit this track very often. it’s a shame but there is not a single virtual track that has the height of the second to last corner don like it is supposed to be, it’s actually a lot higher then it’s in rfactor,F1-challenge,life for speed and now also in iRacing

I been to this track quite a few times. I think it’s spot on. You must have been to another Zandvoort

Once you try racing iRacing in full HD, many of us would really start to apreciate the graphics engine. There is no sim out there that looks more realistic and crsp. It is a fact that on screenshots and video´s the real value does not show itself.
You have to try it hands on.

Slimjim: Was this track also laser scaned.?,,, they talk about all their tracks are laser scaned.

Every single track they do is laser scanned. It's very unlikely they will release on that is not.

Thats because GTL and rFactor shared the same graphical engine.

Shum94: You’re funny. Old engine, nice texture i give you that, down average cockpit. No shadows as good as rFactor. No 24h lighting engine such as rFactor.In 8 month i’ll hope rF 2 will be out there

Please, can we see some examples with video or screenshots :) Yeah, 24 hour lighting would be fantastic, even GTL had that and it sure did look very nice :)

Slimjim: Was this track also laser scaned.?,,, they talk about all their tracks are laser scaned.

http://www.virtualr.net/iracing-com-zandvoort-scan-images/ Yep, but they do have one fictional track: Centripetal Circuit

Altough I’d love to race with iRacing, I simply don’t have the money for it…
It’s just to expensive for me ATM.

Although it is the best looking sim to date

You’re funny. Old engine, nice texture i give you that, down average cockpit.
No shadows as good as rFactor. No 24h lighting engine such as rFactor.

In 8 month i’ll hope rF 2 will be out there
