What I love about this version of Oulton Park is how filled in the spectator areas are. Just makes you feel like you are a real BTCC driver on race day.

Good video as always, I'm with you about how it's easier to drive Spa in RF2 than ACC or AC. I still think the new UI is terrible so I've gone back to the old one but thankfully the SIM has enough quality in the driving model to compensate for the horrible menus, etc. Oulton Park is my 'go to' track for anything but open wheelers & the workshop version is pretty good so lots of good driving to be had at minimal cost with RF2 now. Keep up the good work!

I recently did a 24 hour endurance race using a different version. It had extra buildings and trees pushing over onto the racing surface. But worst is that it didn't include a lot of the exit curbing that's there IRL. Very odd. My team still ended up 3rd but leading up it, it was like learning a whole new track.
@ModoC63 жыл бұрын
Agree about the track limits on Spa. You can pretty much straight line Radillion with absolutely no penalty. Also I don't know if I'm just doing something stupid, but if you do a rolling start it forces two formation laps for some reason. Skipping the formation lap skips one of them, and you still end up with a massively spread field by the time you get to a green light.

Oulton Park for rF2 came out before it came out for AMS1 so it's not an AMS1 convert, my guess it's an rF1 convert and so it's not LIDAR scanned nor laser scanned. Nevertheless it's a very well made circuit.

There’s a certain amount of irony in praising a game for its handling, but other elements are so bad that without modders stealing other developers’ meshes it would never have the resources to scan these tracks themselves. Perhaps if you kept your feet on rF2’s neck as forcefully as you do say Reiza’s, they might get round to fixing the stuff that keeps their sales figures so low they can’t afford to scan their own meshes?

Thanks for these Ermin, I've had a fantastic few days at Road America trying to improve. 95% AI in the FR 3.5, over 4 days finished 25th, 16th, 9th and finally a podium 2nd last night. In VR it's an incredible experience! One request, in your video's you're always in the Ferrari GTE, any chance of mixing it up with some open wheelers or something else in the next one? (One tip for the FR3.5 if you drive, increase the caster, it completely transforms the FFB)

Wonderful coverage of some excellent mods. I ran RA at the weekend and it's a blast, even with faster classes nipping at your heels all race. Oulton park too, is an experience, both IRL and in RF2 (I advise having a loot at it in the wet. That'll satiate your rally instincts!) You make a comment about the modders going unrecognized. Maybe put a card at the start of the segment listing the people that you know were involved in the making of each track? Just a thought that might give some credibility to the modders involved, and maybe give them some traction in other areas (potential job offers and the like). Wouldn't it be nice to know you were involved in furthering someone's career just a bit of accreditation.

Great additions! But honestly, how sad is for a sim to rely on another sim's laser scanned circuits? I don't see the greatness of rF2. Yes the physics are absolutely phenomenal, so is the FFB, but we literally have like 4 official tracks : Nordschleife, Le Mans, Sebring and Imola (which is made by Reiza) . Everything else is a rip-off from a sim you defined "a mix between simcade and sim". If you like rF2 above anything else is absolutely fine, but we have to be objective, it lacks terribly on content side, multiplayer and user interface.

@@EikeSky iRacing started in 2012 and the most close competition is Raceroom which started this year with scheduled races, ranks and all that stuff. Online-racing is like night-clubs. The club can be run down, but you don't visit a prettier one if it's almost empty all the time since you go there to meet people. The ranking-system in iRacing is very outdated and rewarding people who drive one car only.

I’m not a fan of this version of Spa tbh. There is little track detail, no kerb detail and the shaders seem slightly off, like it’s constantly overcast. Also, the ai is so slow round it even by rf2 mid track standards and they spin out for no reason. Fingers crossed the iconic European track S397 has announced is an official Spa. Just got a horrible feeling it’s going to be Monza ☹️

Did you know that Kunos was hunting those download-sources down once? I was penalised with a 2-weeks-ban in 2016 for posting in their forum to better try the Nordschleife (which was the first and only one at that time) and feel the obvious improvements rather than doing this shit (I didn't use this word). And at that time rF2 was rather dead compare to today. No offense here and Marcel could've say stop to videos like this, so just saying and by chance or not, the policy changed since. Before you had to look for the proper password in the forum to unzip the downloads.
@Ermz3 жыл бұрын
That's understandable. They're safeguarding their IP, and these tracks made it pretty obvious how far ahead rF2's physics model was to AC, so it's hard to blame them. That said, AC is old property now, and most people who have rF2 would also have AC (since the Ultimate Edition is so cheap), so I don't think it's as much of an ethical imposition as some would suggest. It allows people to have more fun sim racing in the end, and ultimately that's what all of this is about.
