Is the physics ever going to be improved?

Online is one of the funnest games I've played, but it's ridiculous that people can just hit you out of the way going 200km/h and you go flying off the track and they're perfectly fine and just keep going like nothing happened. Both cars would skid out of control.

IMO this would make online 100x more fun because people would race properly instead of just ramming you off the track.

Not sure what game you're playing but whenever someone hits me we both end up spinning off the track

Don't play on public servers. Only play on administered servers or join a league

Not sure how that's going to effect the physics.... Also cbf signing up for 10 different forums just to play on their server.

Collision physics are always the worst aspect of any sim. Having said that, it improves when the damage is set at 100%, specially with mod cars.

I generally find that the physics aren't the problem, it's lack of damage and consequence on some servers.

We have a heavily admin we server multi21.uk which welcomes clean racers of all abilities.

Also ALOOG do a great job.

well the multiple starts at blackwood sometimes mess people up :)

all kidding aside, for someone who wants a server to race at but can't afford the time to join a league, you guys do a brilliant job.

Haha yeah, we do like to make sure people start and get around the first corner!

Always a good laugh and some ridiculously close racing though!

Last night I had some seriously intense battles!

I do generally race on ALOOG coz of the low ping. Got banned from the only Aussie server for some reason.

I can't see your server btw.

Sounds almost exactly like high ping versus low ping situation, check the ping of people involved I wouldn't be surprised if it was the sole cause of issues like this

Could be it, unfortunately there's very few servers now with low ping.

That sounds more like your internet connection to those servers not a general eye of thumb. Plus it also matters what the other person involved ping is.

You made the mistake off not jerking off to the game in this sub.

This sub is seriously a joke, you can't express any opinions that are different without getting downvoted.

Fuck down votes, just express your opinion, if people hate it, so be it. Better to say what you think and get down voted than to be a pack animal and follow the herd.

rectum3OP•

Yeah, kinda surprised. Usually small subs are better. Ah well....

Yeah i see this too, just bump them arounsd their rear wheel and they spin, you just off the throttle and steer out of the way while they go off the track.

I only use this move when people are deliberately tryinf to crash in to me to get past, else i try to keep the racing clean.

Not really, if you take a hit on iracing it actually ruins you for at least an entire hour until the next race. "Fun"

Alongside its many many physics flaws there is definitely big problems regarding collisions as well. Have a look here.

Do you know of our lord and savior: rFactor 2?

dringus_khan•

I do. But it's post like those that cause problems. If we are discussing a certain physics issue sure go ahead and discuss it. But going into every post about certain parts of the game and linking all the problems you feel about it is counterproductive. Especially when said person(s) post the same things on almost every discussion thread regardless of topic.

slvl•

I agree with you, that's what my post meant to imply :). There seem to be some users dead set on making sure everybody knows that RF2 has better physics than real life, has AI that drives better than real race drivers and multiplayer that is better than a real race, if you catch my drift.

RodneyDangereux•

I'm certainly not taking any credit for his list.

dringus_khan•

Yeah but you might as well be if you have his links copy and pasted. You are literally no better than him. You could have just waited for him to post it. It was only a matter of time.

RodneyDangereux•

I will link and post as I please (within the reddit rules of course), thank you very much.

Interesting, bit disappointing.
