Generic "Ready to Race" DLC Console Release

The new R2R DLC for PC looks really good. The car selection is probably the best yet out of all the DLC thus far, imo. Forgive me if this has been asked before, but is there any info on when we can expect the DLC to be released on console?

 

No info has been shared. Ready to Race will presumably come with v1.15 which will hopefully land in June. Fingers crossed.

It would be nice to see the pack launch before Le Mans as it has the TS040-HYBRID and R18 e-tron quattro. The pack looks fantastic so I am really eager to get my hands on it.

 

I know it might be sort of wishful thinking, but I really hope that it comes with this next update on console with the private lobbies.

 

It will be Soon®...

(Damn it, I'm also making these jokes)

That's not going to happen for sure. Kunos already said the cars that are coming on the next update (S1 E2, 787B, Miata, 1200 hp Gallardo and M4 Akrapovic). To add that, the DLC was announced yesterday, and the private lobbies update is probably in Sony/MS hands since a week ago or more.

I would expect that in the update after that one, we will get the DLC with the button mapping (confirmed for the next update by Lord Kunos). Im sure the update is not going to be ready for June. Late July could be the date.

 

Those are the cars that were announced to come FREE with the update, along with one for the Porsche Pack 3. I don't see how that makes it impossible to release another DLC release. It's one thing to say that certain cars included in an update and another to release another DLC release.

Where are you getting this info that the private lobbies update is in Sony/MS hands? I think once that happens, we'll have a date. Their process does not last more than a couple of weeks, at max (judging from past updates of this game and other games as well). It seems more likely that Kunos failed whatever checks Sony/MS had and still have it, which could mean room for adding more improvements and content. At least that's the way I see it, granted, I have very little knowledge of all these things, since it seems Kunos doesn't reveal much themselves.

 

I count with late july or august, when I see how long we waiting for 1.14. But without button mapping is senseless to bring again hybrid cars which wheel drivers can't use 100%. So it's not a bad idea to bring this this cars with 1.15.

 

I think it's important to keep in mind that another reason this update is taking an extra bit of time is specifically because of the addition of private lobbies. It's a new feature that I don't think Kunos has ever done before on an unfamiliar territory, console. I'm quite eager for the update.

As for the button mapping... I don't know what you mean. I drive on a wheel and all the buttons for the hybrid system for all the cars work fine for me. I'm able to access all the functions with them. Is there something I'm missing?

 

Hi... Well with trusthmaster wheels...the only button preset layout is number 2.
But you can't look left or right...
But even with Logitech and trusthmaster in Hybrid cars you can't change TC levels or ABS levels... Because Hybrid buttons anulate the other 2 features..

So yes....Custom button mapping feature is really needed and will come in the 1.15 update as the head of the studio said.

The head of the studio (Stefano casillo) also replied to a user on his twitter account that they can't touch the update (1.14) anymore, and Marco massarutto (licence master) replied to an user on his Facebook page ho was asking if the update is submitted to sony and Microsoft that "its in process".

So the new DLC will come to consoles within the next update (1.15)
Cause they have to port the cars and put them in the game (cause DLC is really just an "unlock" archive) .

 

when updates are sent to sony and microsoft, they need to be checked and see if everything meets the necessary requirements. when all is good and the update is about to be released, thats the moment we get a release date. it usually happens 4-5 days before the actual release.

correct. cars are added via updates. thats why you can see them in the cars menu or driven by the ai even if you haven't actually bought the dlc.

 

Because the RTR DLC/update won't introduce completely new dynamics such as Custom Lobbies I don't think the time to port will be as long as the current update, it should be all done much much faster.

 

That's what I like to hear. I need me some TS040 and MC12 GT1 action!

Do you have a favourite car from RTR?

 

I guess my favorite to drive is the Lotus 3-eleven... very very different from the other Lotus we have in game, really fast, demanding, bites you without regrets.
The 2 Audi TT will be great for racing, especially online.

 

..

 

I really liked the 2-eleven! Pure fun on nordschleife...
What's the difference between the 2-eleven and the 3-eleven?

For the rest... Realy nice DLC pack incoming... There isn't a car that i don't like in it

 

Makes sense. Really nice to hear, still. Looking forward to it.

 

The difference is 1 . Simple maths.

 

the 3-eleven weights more (925 vs 670 kg) but has more power (v6, 410 bhp vs inline-4, 250 bhp, both supercharged).
these figures refer to the "road" version of the 3-eleven. there's a race variant with more power (460) and less weight (890) but we aren't getting that one (i think)

 

I'm interested in hearing the sound of the 3-eleven as Kunos have greatly improved in the sound department since the last Lotus were added.

 

new models also seem to have more detailed cockpits, or maybe thats my overall impression.
the 2 eleven (and the gt4 variant) look quite bad, in this regard.

 

Can I ask if this DLC included in the season pass, or is it going to be separate paid for content ?
