wtf, thats heaps expensive considering theres no ffb….must be really awesome “vibration feedback”

Uff:
… everybody is here trying to sale as much as they can in order to have a profit from their work.

Exactly. Like I said its a win win for all involved.

Simbin could produce the content for SLF cheaper than any rival because they have already made 5 out of 6 tracks, so ISI gets a bargain. And there is no reason why Simbin won’t get a profit for their work. If I was ISI I’d go for Simbin, and if I were Simbin I’d take the job.

Of course I’m only speculating, but it will be interesting to see who the subcontractor is.

DW:

I’m not sure who you are saying wouldn’t want to help their competitor. Are you saying ISI wouldn’t help Simbin by subcontracting work to them or are you saying Simbin wouldn’t help ISI by doing subcontract work for them?
Either way, in the past Simbin has helped ISI by buying their engine and ISI have helped Simbin by selling their engine. Both Simbin and ISI stand to benefit from a co-operation on SLF. Making the tracks will be the most expensive part of this game and if Simbin already have 5 of the 6 modelled then its a win win for all involved.

I think you have quite a “fairy tale” view of the market: in the past SimBin didn’t help ISI because they wanted to, they bought pMotor and gMotor because they hardly had any other possibilities. Being a very small company, they couldn’t afford to build a new engine from the ground (and that’s why it took so long to show what the Lizard engine can do).
Yes, SimBin would get paid for those circuits, but after that it would be ISI the team who would gain something from selling the game (even if we still don’t know if it will be free or not, as Gjon said): should someone be interested in one of these new circuits, probably he would buy SF game instead of Race/GTRE/Stcc. And I think SimBin prefer to say “Buy our new game/Download our new DLC! We have these new tracks for you!”.
I don’t want to say I’m right, but that’s what make sense to me: nobody is here to help someone else, everybody is here trying to sale as much as they can in order to have a profit from their work.

Uff:
Monza already is in rFactor. Anyway, I doubt the subcontractor is SimBin: that would mean they’re going to help one of their main competitors.

Gjon said they’d subcontracted development. The tracks required are
Monza

Magny Cours
Zolder
Donington Park
Estoril
Monza
Jarama

Simbin has all of these tracks except Jarama. I wonder if the subcontractor is Simbin?

rainking:
That’s not the SLF game. That’s rFactor with a mod…

Considering that the engine is the same, I wouldn’t expect so many differences.

-eRNIe-:

gMotor2 is not rF2.

Yeah I should clarify, I was referring to what howie said about there being no clear cut line between gmotor2 and gm3 (which was confirmed by Gjon Camaj in an interview) which would mean this isnt actually based on the lastest revision of their engine. But who knows, maybe the graphical side of it is the only remnant from rfactor.

ForzaBarca88:
Hmm, those graphics dont look like the screenshots ive seen for rf2 tho.

gMotor2 is not rF2.
