That's because you know nothing about the needs of REAL Sim Racers.
Heck you even play with a "wheel". You can't truly play any sims until you switch to a Gamepad, and you're only really playing if it has rumble.
It's part-time arcadey fanboy types like you who don't appreciate how vital splintering carbon is to the sim-racing experience who are turning this into some kind of simcade title with comments like that.

[sorry, couldn't resist ]

 

Thicker rigid carbon fibre may splinter but bodywork tends to be made from thin carbon composite material. Carbon composites can be flexible, a bit like polycarbonate they can look crumpled.

I'd like to see faces of those people who care so much about the most real sim, if Kunos would make a statement that 1.0 is postponed until "some time" in 2015 because they see they need to redo a lot of things and there will be no updates until then, so they can focus on delivering it.

 

many are well aware here that I have never spared the criticism when I felt that something essential is missing in the game, now I've heard of carbon fiber that will not shatter, the speech is very simple, create grinds in 3d and render them to the tabs video involves a huge expenditure of performance, as already mentioned by Aris in a previous post if you have to make a compromise between graphics and speed will be always preferred the latter. We're talking about a change that only affects the aesthetic side and does not give anything extra to the simulation, such as the pit stop or flag instead, so I really think that now you're exaggerating. Many complain about the framerate, and then you want to fragmentation effects? Definitely would then ozinali and most of the players at the end would keep them off, let's talk about serious things please.

 

No no no! The truly hardcore drive with their keyboard, you see it's just cheating playing with a wheel or gamepad. Keep it real dude!

 

I'd imagine they'd have to ship the game with a fire extinguisher for truly realistic carbon fibre damage , nevermind "CPU usage 95%" . Games that tend to do such things usually counteract that by cutting corners in other areas like a lot of motion blur (YUCK) or even slow motion etc . As for flags we can re-name every first turn "Black Friday" for now . Most accidents i see usually happen in the first corner under braking anyway so i'd imagine a flag for that would be of little help .

 

IMO no damage in fiberglass/carbonfiber body is better than if it becomes metal. Everyone can google how crashed Elise should look like.

Take a deep breath PhenOm. Your aggressive defense turns these conversations into something like virtualr comments.

 

blue flags are the most important, even in the short races, because if a players remains stationary for a reason and then starts again and the lead group reaches it really creates confusion and you never get the safety of those you have in front of you or behind you, the yellow ones are also important because they warn you first if there is an accident ahead, and in that case it is forbidden to overtake, in fact, many are taking advantage of these situations to go forward at all, generlmente still creating new incidents and so on loop ...

 

Agreed, many people only think about the first corner and they stop the thinking there, saying flags system (or even possibly penalty system) are not needed because the first corner is always gonna be crash test dummy.
In fact, the more people will be exposed to a flag system, the more chances are people will respect them. Right now they only have a scarce idea of what to do. The more people will be exposed to a more realistic flag and penalty system, more racing educated drivers we can meet online. Don't forget it helps in organized races, AC multiplayer is not only open servers.

 

Definitely!1 Although I usually end up in the barrier! Excellent recovery to be fair!

 

I think that the video of la ferrari at spa was under valuing for the content, specially the music not appropriate for the video movement. So I edited a video with better quality and a nicer song, in sync with the replay of the la ferrari. (the song may be blocked in some countries, uploading to vimeo is still in process, but takes too long compared to youtube).

 

Are the shadows better in the v1?

 

I really hope they add in some ambient occlusion and some tessellation, and the damage could look stunning!

The tracks would certainly benefit from those two features too...

 

Regarding pits, does someone know if will it be possible to change, as well as repair car damages, some setup parameters like tyre type/pressure, aerodynamics and so on?

 

According to the video clip we do know that we will be able to change all 4 tires at once

In real life most damage repairs are beyond the scope of an in race repair.

 

Hi guys,

A video of the F458 GT2 :

 

There is a blue flag app out now...

 

does anybody know if with the new tire model, we will get the dynamic rubber lines on the track?
you know what i mean, i don't remember the exact english name right now xD

 

As far as I remember the position of the rubber remains the same and builds up with time/amount of cars (?).
While maybe in the future they will be dynamic, while not soon. Who knows.
