Will be interesting to see what changes. My only reference are the iRacing cars that are supposed to have been developed with real car data from the teams... the FVR cars aren't that different other than how the tires heat and wear.

I have to completely disagree with both of you guys. For me I can feel what the car is doing and does not feel like it's "hovering" around the track. Maybe it's the wheel I'm using or maybe you guys are expecting rfactor2 to feel more like rfactor. As far as tire flex, grip or no grip I don't know how a real v8 car is suppose feel like because I never drove one in real life, but compared to other sims I played this one feels really good to me. To each his own, I guess you can't please everybody and hopefully future updates will improve the game for you guys. Jeff did you get that same feeling playing other mods on rf2 or is it just the V8 mod? Thanks for understanding guys, if I am rage quitting in an offline test session walking away in disgust that's my cue to stop. Armando, I was delighted with rF2 first came out as it was not like rF1 which does a bit more sliding than I was used to with most other sims I have tried. It is as if it is more like rF1 now and less connected for me. Maybe Im being too quick to judge rF2 as I have not tried other cars for a long long time. I just know these cars felt way more connected before during the exhibition races than they seem now. |

Jeff did you get that same feeling playing other mods on rf2 or is it just the V8 mod? To be honest, the main thing I've run in RF2 is the V8 except for the open wheel we did a while back. That car felt like it was on the track. The V8 car just doesn't feel connected. But anyway, I appreciate all y'all listening to my belly-aching. I'm done now. I'll race whatever wherever with this club, good or bad. I'd even be willing to fire up the old 360 and Forza 2 if there was a series! Friends are the most important thing. |

Well said Jeff. Racing with this group is the most enjoyable thing, hands down. I enjoy the bs and good humored banter as much as the racing itself.

Guys there may be a chance I won't make it this week. Still hoping to but I'm working on a pedal mod that is taking a bit longer than I thought. If I can source the part I need to finish then all good. Pedal spikes are driving me crazy so the pots are in the bin and making my own.

I'll be doing a vid when I get it perfected. Nothing ground breaking, just some optical contactless pots. An Led, LDR, a couple of resistors and 2 polarizers. Haven't tried in game yet but working in Logitech profiler. Hoping to be finished the brake today for testing.

Amen to that Dave. Let's go racing boys! Or at least bounce off some walls.

Probably the later. Super busy at work = no energy to turn any practice laps the past 2 weeks.

This is going to feel more like Mario Kart than rfactor2 due to the walls! Oh well, to quote the great Tony Diamond "See y'all in the emergency room!"
