Let's play Game Designer

BAH INCORRECT!!!!!!! 2Dof motion can be had for under 600$ if you can weld and have some material kicking around.

 

Please add some dirt / loose surface model to that list
iracing is coming with the dirt stuff for real (unless the april's fool thing lasts 3 days...)

 

Lol, did you argue that a motion rig is more accessible than the expensive VR headsets because a motion rig is $600 if you know how to weld and have the materials sitting around?

(!)

Maybe I'm a filthy casual, but the welding part puts it out of my reach.

 

I can't care any less about false starts or stalling the engine. So it's not 100 percent for everybody. Everything is never for everybody.

obviously talking about off the shelf here

 

I am looking for Brake temp simulation, and brake wear also if possible. Would be nice to add it as an "option" set to false by default, so people would not think the simulation is all broken

Abusing the use of brakes is similar to the way a driver can abuse the use tires and pay for than later.

 

there's always lumber.......



Nothings out of reach with time and effort put in.

 

I went for brake temperature.

As cool and immersive as VR is, I think the fundamental simulation aspects should come first. If you've ever thrashed a car for extended periods of time in the real world, especially older cars, the brake fade can be massive.

Also, cold brakes can be equally as horrible.

 

pitstop strategy and time race...

I twitted about two months ago, 'Don't allow back to pit and add retire option in MP race' so
Stefano Casillo said 'I will try to add it as server option '

but.. where is that option?????

 

I agree VR is the future and this being only the first generation, the technology will only get better. But my computer is just not ready for it at the moment.

 

So 800 people on this forum alone have a VR kit and a graphics card capable to run AC in such high resolution and FPS? Impressive. Sadly I can't afford that stuff so I went with engine stall as that will hopefully bring more realistic clutch simulation, as well (as Stefano showcased with GT86 at Eau Rouge in one of his streams).
As for flashing lights, it would be really cool to have working indicators on street cars for the ultimate Touristfahrten experience at Nordschleife and tracks like Lake Louise. Moreover, modern street cars also automatically turn on hazard light under heavy braking (see video) which would be an awesome little detail to see. OK, OK, keep dreaming...

 

Everyone who is already running full hd triples is in a good performance range for running VR. It's only a matter of how much money you can and would spend for your hobby... I always count it in bucks per hour and with more than 1,000 hours the overall costs for new equipment isn't that much, especially compared to real life racing.

 

Dear Stefano,

I don't want to offend you because I like your sim so much that I upgraded my rig to a more expensive than my real car one !
And I consider you some kind of a coding Genius, following you from your demo to the final build is just incredible !

I voted off course for VR, being for me such a revelation when I first tried the DK2 with LFS... than with AC...
Giving me so more racing informations like sense of speed, depth, scale... in one word: immersion !
it's impossible for me now to play anymore on my triple screen...

So I was positively surprised to see this VR suggestion in your poll after all your tweets,
so like many others I could finally politely vote for something I think will become more and more important.

But let me ask you just one question, can you please answer it honestly (or try):

Are you really personally not convinced by VR ? or is it only a matter of priorities (and messy coding complexity with multiple SDK) ?

and why ? (except resolution/clarity, and perhaps price I don't see any downside...)

I know about your mafia jokes, I know about stupid whinning angry VR people everywhere... but seriously... with all my respect ?
(you can PM me an answer, I promess I won't say anything.)

Thank's in advance,
I wish you full succes for the future.

 

I guess VR because that's the thing that excites me most in the future.. Being realistic though my PC could not handle VR nor can I justify the costs.

 

Hi pirhana,

He in fact already answered this question a few pages before, stating that he found VR underwelming and did bot see him spending a long session wearing it. That is terrible for us still not so rare a feedback in this current VR generation though (he used DK2).

 

Tired of this war VR not VR .... this was not the purpose of this thread .... so I won't follow it any longer.

Everything's been said about that more than once ...

Sure Kunos's team can manage different purposes and progresses at the same time .... and this will make all people with different tastes and wishes ... happy in the future.

VR is of course an important aim for the next future .... but that's not the reason why the rest should remain aside and untouched.

Leagues Admins's server configs and possibilities is also an important thing ... but I don't wish spoiling this thread with our requests.
So let's take what's coming and hope it will fulfill all wishes of all drivers in different directions.

 

None of the options in the list will have a positive impact on every player. None of the options will go to 100% of the community/customers.

Wrong again. None of the options are a fundamental requirement for human existence. Nobody will die if sparks don't start appearing under cars.

 

Voted VR support although I won't buy VR device at least this year. I think this can make it easier for Kunos to grab some fast cash so we can have more stuff coming in. Also when you implement other things like brake temp, there will always be people complain it's not realistic, or complain for example Miura and Coutach have "copy-and-paste" brakes.

I don't think engine stall is some "easy" feature. It can be done pretty bad. For examplr if you check PCars, it has engine stall but doesn't have engine start sound, which is just pathetic. I think it might take quite a bit of work to record every car's engine start sound all over and time how long it actually takes them to start, to make the experience really realistic and feels polished. Please don't rush this feature and do it like what SMS has done.

With more and more historic cars coming to the sim IMHO it might be more and more interesting to introduce such features. It might look like an extra and unpleasant burden on the driver, but when people are racing against each other it's a very nice extra challenge. Same can be said about brake temps.

 

I bought AC specifically for VR, at the time (around 3 years ago?) I supposed that I could simply play any game in VR and didn't realize all the changes needed to support it well.

If I had two votes, I'd vote for pit stop strategy as my #2 option.

Stalling and brake temperature are neat, but rFactor 2 has both and it doesn't add that much to the overall experience.

 

Hi, My vote is for VR , thanks for this great sim

 

I'm not exactly sure if you can vote without a valid AC license, but the poll was shared on things like the Oculus Reddit, SimRacing reddit, and who knows what else. As someone else also mentioned, VR support will be for only VR users, while the other features will be for everyone.
