 Wow,glad to see you made it here Ruda ;D,Unfortunately my PC is giving me fits right now.Trying to get it fixed by this Sunday.
 Ruda has been painting skins for me for a long time now,probably the best out there IMO...Never seen him Sim race yet, but if he drives as good as he paints were in some big trouble  :D

Come on Chris,you must be well off living where u do,you can afford 60 bucks,it"s worth it ;D

Lol, well its totally not about the money, its about time.  I don't have time to put into 2 sims, with all the practice, setup work, etc that goes with it to be competitive.  So, if I get pCars 2 now, I will probably never open rf2 again  :o.

rf2 has been around a long time and has a loyal following, but imho that alone will not be enough for the new developer to make it work.  Pretty much everyone I know that switched to rf2 in the past year will switch to pCars 2, meaning they will not be buying future DLCs, etc.

There are a load of good leagues that will be running pCars 2, but I too prefer the rf2 league scene on the whole.  Plus there are loads and loads of add ons that will pop up, that just add to the cool factor of the game.  For example they had this very cool setup data base site http://projectcarssetups.eu/#/bycar, which became a great resource to get a quick setup ( I personally posted a lot of my setups their). So it just helps to make the sim racing experience a lot better for people who either don't enjoy setups or didn't have the time.

They are also looking to add driver swap functionality, so honestly if I like the FFB they will get all of my sim time because the game has way more to offer than rf2 will ever have and it will be played by a lot more people, so bigger grids, more multi-class races, etc.

What the rf2 crowd generally seem to not realize is just because they take the 'realism' seriously this is still a game and people who play it want to have fun and, if your in a league, you want to be competitive.  rF2 is generally a very unwelcoming sim and I almost ditched it after my first couple of attempts.

I will be sad if it comes to this but like I said the developers are moving to slowly given what's happening around them and their just isn't enough detail or solidity to the time line for their updates.  As much as the 'real' sim racer slagged off pCars1, it was actually a very good game, just missing the FFB and physics, kinda important for a sim.  The sad part is that most of the other 'real' sims are still not even up to pCars 1 standards in all other aspects and that game is now 2 1/2 years old.  It really is just not good enough, so I fear rf2 will stay in its niche, with less and less leagues, smaller and smaller grids, and leaving us all to wonder why a sim with the best FFB, tire model and physics has only a had full of people playing it.

SteamCharts: Number of Players
                  A.v Last 30 days         Peak Past Year
PCars 1             800                         2,900
PCars 2             3,000                      6,700
rF2                   324                         1,400

Chris,are those numbers including people on Xbox and Playstation playing Pcars?,if it is,that"s not a fair comparison since RF2 was never released on anything other than PC.I have faith in Studio 397,I think you will see some of the Iracing guys coming over to RF2 once they release all the GT3 cars.Pcars 2 has some bugs to fix as far as multiplayer goes,it"s a huge improvement over Pcars 1 but still prefer RF2 for league racing.

 Matt,if you can run RF2 in DX11 u can run Pcars 2.Runs about the same for me with almost everything maxed out except the sun reflections and something else I dont like.I get in the 70"s to 80"s in Pcars 2

 Hey Tech,
 I"m not so sure RF2 will fall by the wayside because of Pcars2 just yet.They have alot of new cars coming really soon plus the Rain effect which looks as good as Pcars2 Rain does I still prefer RF2 for league racing.The graphics are next level compared to RF2 and all the other Sim games out there right now.It usually takes alot to **** me off but these online races in Pcars 2 will get your blood boiling haha.Too bad more people don"t have Pcars2 right now,Simon can host with his server and we could run some test races.Come on Chris,you must be well off living where u do,you can afford 60 bucks,it"s worth it ;D

 Yeah online in Pcars 2 is a nightmare,too many xbox kids on there I believe.And when someone rear ends you its twice as bad as RF2,feele like a Semi hit you.There"s also join lag but when I was on Simon"s server it was great.It"s a great sim,kinda feels like a mix between RF2 and Iracing to me,glad I didn"t get rid of it like I initally wanted to.

 Me and Simon raced online yesterday.We tried Rally,I dont have any rally games but I like it.Anyways passed the guy infront of me and he just literly t bones me on purpose,like X does haha(kidding).I think there are alot of xbox and Playstation guys online right now so only going to run on Simons server for now.The Porsche GT3 is amazing to drive,might have to find a league to join soon,this game is quite good now.

 I"m going to have to retract my review of Pcars 2.Simon hooked me up with Jack Spade custom FFB files and man this game just came to life,I can"t put this game down now haha.The tracks and cars look so damn real, no other game comes close to this,plus it runs as good as RF2 DX11 on my average PC(GTX970).This game has alot of potential now,if you like Assetto Corsa I think you"ll love this,definately worth the money now.

 Another problem is if people knock down the braking markers were screwed.Had that happen in practice going into turn one and missed the corner because Rick mowed down two braking markers haha.

 I agree,all the tracks we have ran this season look great,much much better than RF1 tracks.I"m pumped on RF2 lately,I think Studio 397 is the best thing to happen to the Sim racing community.

 I"m not getting any feel through the tires except the Rally cars,maybe because they are front wheel drive don"t know.I"m sure someone will figure out some settings to improve FFB,but at the momment it"s a huge let down to what I was hoping for.Maybe we all need a 1500.00 direct drive wheel to feel the tires on the road better,my Thrustmaster T300 isnt giving me any Feedback at all when the car loses grip.

I think this will help Studio 397 because to me only RF2 and Iracing are the true sim racing games and Iracings cost turns alot of people off and hopefully over to RF2 when the new GT3 car pack is released.If Studio 397 continue to release new product down the road I think they will survive just fine,obviously Slightly Mad Studios cares more about console racing customers than diehard Sim racers like all of us.If you have an extra 60 bucks laying around and you can afford it I say buy Pcars 2 as it does look nice,and their version of Longbeach looks amazing but it will probably just be a game that I fire up maybe once a week just for fun.

 Well finally got to try Pcars 2.I had thought it pre-downloaded all the necessary files last night when I purchased it,but at 3pm my time today,it needed another 4 hours to download some more files.I was surprised that my PC ran this game at about the same FPS as RF2,with almost everything on high or ultra settings.The game looks really good,probably the best that I have tried so far of all the popular titles.I have to be brutally honest though,I was let down with the FFB,I tried all 3 settings they have and just don"t get that much feedback through my wheel like I do in RF2.There is a custom setting that allows you to modify your wheel settings,so I guess thats what I need to do to get it felling better.Sound wise it"s the best out there,also was able to do a rain race and was quite easy to drive aggressive in heavy rain.The rain looked amazing,can"t wait for RF2"s rain update.Anways,I won"t be uninstalling RF2 anytime soon ;D.Unless I can get more feedback from my Thrustmaster T300 wheel,I"ll have to say the FFB is similar to Assetto Corsa,which for me is a huge step down from RF2.Haven"t tried Multiplayer yet,maybe me and Simon can do that Tomorrow.Good Improvement from Pcars 1 but still a good distance away from Rf2 IMO.Have to see what Simon thinks about it tomorrow.
