RT: Problem is, sims are using tech that’s been around since the Stone Age …
game with great physics, but if you can't feel it, what’s the point?
DD: Yeah nothing new …
DD: GTR does it better than F1C mods, I think.
ASS: But what how 'new' is new anyway - I mean, a car handles the way it handles, right? So all sims will, at some stage, become identical.
ASS: And GTR?
ASS: But better than Papy? DD: But not as good as Papy
DD: Hmm, I hope rfactor will be an evolution, we have driven ISI for ages, all the F1 series, SCGT etc. We know the limitations of the engine and just hope it moves forward a lot more - I would say rFactor feels more on track than previous ISI – ultimately, they should yes, but
ASS: Where is the difference?
interpretation of car feeling is most crucial and is, for me, something that Papyrus got dead right dead.
flaws imo …
RT: But it’s not just the physics … DD: Feeling on track … RT: It’s how the developer transfers feeling to the player - you can have a
GH: GTR feels a bit weird, and dead, sometimes, at low speed … DD: But I think that’s the limit of the engine, nothing to do with them. RT: Papy's engine was more all around, but still some pretty big
DD: Yeah RT: The NASCAR side of things is way off any form of realism. DD: At the end of the day, companies should hire us to do their testing lol. RT: instead of 20 RSC moderators? DD: Well done!

RT: But always in sim racing, everyone has a different idea of what is real. ASS: There does seem to be a strange aversion from development companies to associate with the common garden variety sim-racer, which is odd considering we're their only customers ... is team redline ready to become pro beta-testers? DD: We could if need be, but beta testing is quite boring. RT: But could they handle the feedback? DD: Especially troubleshooting
RT: I think it works both ways, you need to have good testers + people that will listen. ASS: Would it be an idea to create such a body within sim-racing though? DD: Hmm, maybe a good idea, then things would hopefully get done properly, however companies are 46
