Hope so, mugs like me and Spanner have funded it  Roll Eyes

I dip my toes back in every now and then and download all the updates but i havent spent any serious time with it. Graphically its very detailed, but with a lack of opponents and to some extent, car choices, i just cant seem to get into it enough to spend any time pumping lap after lap in like i would do with P&G3, iR or GTR2. The interface and feel are very different.

i mean, watch some of the vids on here and you can see how incredibly good it can look. Watch the guys steering inputs on the spa Historic vid, it looks real !  Cool

there is an awesome vid of a guy with a triple screen setup doing Historic Monaco in rF2 and it just looks damn real, will try and find it.

I did find some stuff on the rFactor website about a whole bunch of updates for a 60's racing series with lots of tracks but this seemed to be a third party mod and I am unsure how this is used or even if I can, given that I would like to try before I buy...

I can't quite work out the interface which doesn't help but I'll try it again over Christmas and see if it has moved on.

Thanks for the videos.

Hows this bad boy doing now?  Anyone keeping up to date with development/patches etc?

I keep seeing the odd post on the net about various tracks and cars being released for it but must admit i havent even fired it up for months  Sad  When i do think of doing so, i get put off by the awkward patching sequence, having lost track of what update i am supposed to use. Undecided

Graphically it can look awesome and expect the physics must be better than ye olde GTR2, so interested to see if theres any mileage in us adopting it for some race series, maybe using the GT cars. The FFB is pretty cool too.

I wonder how many of us here have it to make a test race/series viable?
Shout up if you have it! add your name to the list.

Gave up on rF2 a long time ago and haven't seen or heard of anything so far to persuade me to buy into it again  Sad

.... rolls through....

not feeling any love for Rf2 here !  Might patch it up to the latest this weekend and fire it up for some testing now that the GTC season has finished. It does look bloody lovely on screen but not a lot of point if no-one is racing it.  Sad

I cannot  believe its taken 5years + for any games maker to bring out a decent substitute for ye olde GTR2 ! and we're still not there yet!!  With the amount of blokes into motor racing and pc's you would think there was a decent market for a good new racing sim.  Huh

The last 5 years have been pretty rough economically which hasn't exactly encouraged investment in what is after all a niche market. The consoles cater for your average bloke (or gal) into racing and the development there seems to have been pretty good.

We do have the imminent (I hope) release of Assetto Corsa to look forward to which, if the tech demo is anything to go by, will be a big step forward. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much interest here for that either  Undecided

im also waiting for Assetto to appear  Smiley

Thats part of the problem, any new sim that has appeared on the radar is merely in development stage and a long way off actually turning up! or requires money input for an unfinished product  Sad

Is the latest Simbin stuff no good? Raceroom or whatever it's called seems to be what they are currently promoting

So, how do the things stand in rF2? Tried the demo (240 build) and I must say I could drive it. Some tweaks, etc., a bit more knowing it and the races could start. Anyone knows about some site with good add software, etc. (XD particularly)?

It only says RFactor? Can't hurt if you just copy the two files from your GTR2 install and put them into RF2 and give it a try.

Was wondering how rF2 was coming on since I first tried it when it was first released, so thought I'd give the recently released demo a go.

Hard to find anything positive to say about it really, except perhaps that it comes with a nice easy uninstaller  Roll Eyes I know graphics aren't everything, but this actually seems like a step backwards from the old rF. I appreciate that a lot of work has gone into the physics with dynamic tyre modelling and track conditions, but compared with other sims it left me cold.

All of this just my opinion of course, so don't shoot  surrender

The Zombie of simworld seems to be undergoing a bit of a resurgence with a new development team and a lot of promises for the future.

As it was on sale for £12.99 on steam (50% off) I thought I'd bite the bullet and give it another try. Main reason was Spa 1966 with 60's openwheelers and the "Howston" which is rF's take on a 60's Lola.

Gotta say the ui is still as bad as ever but I've got it to run well and look good enough without my eyes hurting. The atmosphere is actually very immersive and the thrill of driving the old cars around a drying out Spa is even better than I'd hoped it would be. The road feel and responsiveness of the cars is very impressive.

If you have a few spare hours to burn over the holidays and fancy some retro fun, I can highly recommend!
