The amount of poor quality mods out there means this is only a positive. Modders of sufficient quality should be able to convert their stuff over with out too much effort I imagine.

I´m pretty sure Modders will convert their mods to rF2.
They won´t be lost.
But you cant expect to simply drag and drop old mods into a “new” engine.

I have contacted ISI if rfactor 2 will support rfactor tracks and car mods.

They replied that NO, rfactor 2 will not directly support rfactor 1 mods, but will make some tools which can facilitate this.

Personally i think that rfactor 2 SHOULD support rfactor1 mods!! It would be a trageic loss having all those beautiful cars and tracks in rfactorcentral.com lost!!

We should do something about this… i’have doubts if the tracks modders did for rf1 will do them again for rf2.

I sincerly hope tha rf2 doesn’t look like nfs or racedriver at all. Those games its all about exagerated colors and way to mutch efects… nice textures, and realistic effects is the way to go…

Hehe, I’m sure he knows, but I wish Gjon Camaj could see the fuss his 1 screenshot is kicking up

True, 6e. But I’d rather have an average-looking game that drives and races like a dream than an optical wet dream that drives and races like crap.

The existing rFactor is not crap. Far from it. But it needs significant upgrades in force feedback, offline AI and driving model to keep pace with or exceed sims such as iRacing and Live For Speed.

So those issues are much more important to me than eye candy. :)

could not agree more with GeraArg! “naturalr” truely is the word and to me this is exactly what I want! I just wish I just never saw this picture because now i can barely wait! Keep it up ISI! After watching the SRT interview i have no worries that this would be anything other than a mindblowing game!

That screen looks “natural”
GRID and RACE Pro looks a game

I do care how it looks.
Even if its not the most important thing.

It´s not “either good physics OR good graphics”
I dont think its to much to ask for both

Who the hell cares how it looks? I want better offline AI and a much better driving model, eliminating the “black ice” braking and handling, before I want eye candy.

It’s also a shame that this post has somewhat undermined the Targa Florio one…

Im still looking forward to that as well tho!

Maybe it’s not all about graphics. To me this might show the sort or direction the official content might be wanting to take the game, whereas most of the existing racing games for the PC have clear ‘this is a racing circuit and sponsored cars’ written over it, rFactor 2 might be opting to stand out and promote the back road driving in a classic era (as well as full circuit layouts) and maybe introduce a little free roaming element into the mix? Nonetheless, it certainly is exciting to hear something about rFactor 2 after all this time.

Looks like GPL with better textures, after all :)

Please, dont forget, how rFactor looks when it was released and where is its graphic level now, after community modding…

Personally, I dont like kind of GRID or Race PRO graphic with plenty of blur, unrealistic colors and effects. So for me the submitted screen looks as it can be solid base for future graphic modding.

But I think we shouldnt judge it from one picture. Even when graphic (for me so important) isnt main aspect of race sim…

Are you sure that screen isn’t from F1 Challenge? Was expecting more than another gmotor game with the same old engine.
