But rFactor can do animated car parts. apart from the wheel, has anone had the glitch where the wheel hubs/discs float upwards under acceleration? I had it once on the little arbath 131, it was the engine cover for that car….
.

For having all these materials defined on the model of a car would have to be a system wide implementation, handled at first by defining material rigidity, mass, thickness, etc. on the car models and secondly by the game engine; how velocity not only affects aerodynamics, but also results in cool wind buffering effects on bits of the car like wings and wind mirrors that aren’t just animations but actually flexing because of the physics engine. Sort of like an xplane on steroids car sim, I can dream.

mike:
It does not look it will be anytime soon (my guess summer 2011) considering no details on physics side have been even mentioned just screenshots of work in progress.

Maybe not this year, but I’m confident on Q1 2010. I’m doubting 2011.

Also, @ ryan Gilmore, have you seen the BrawnGP wingmirros? At speed, they’re rags in the wind, useless
.

We’ll almost certainly be adding speed-related effects with the initial release. Additional effects may be implemented, time allowing.

- I posted a question to him as to whether it was graphical effects such as motion blur or something more like what we have been seeing with mainly carbon cars with moving mirrors & wing elements.

Maybe we’ll see some 3D-clouds then, for the realtime cloud-shadows mentioned by ISI

Well, realtime clouds already were in the promotion videos ISI released together with Intel many months ago (the ones with the rain too), if I remember well.

I noticed that al the skies in the screens are clear, no clouds at all.
Is this sky rendered in stead of textured with a photograph?

I vote its lowes, can just see the legends oval & the road course entry/exit match up.

Whats the prize?

Come on Gjon, how about some actual decent details? The way they’re pimping the eye candy is more like Codemasters and EA than a hardcore sim developer.

Vkt: looks like rf2 will piss off the crappy sim for rich snobs called iracing :?
oh jezzuz i did it again …

So long as you dont sign up….I’ll still be happy.

must dash…….the Corgies need their breakfast.

moppenheimer:

its too big to be any of those tracks,and there are too many trees in the infield, i think its fictional

It’s not too big. Have you ever seen how big those tracks actually are? They most likely don’t have the license, so it’s not going to be named after it, only look like it. The grand stands on the back straight also go down too far to be Lowe’s.

navalhawkeye:
No, it’s not Daytona. My guess is that it is either Charlotte Motor Speedway (Lowe’s), or Texas Motor Speedway. Both of which ISI has made, which never saw the light of day. They are now part of/going to be part of ASR.

Including a few cars.
