Damn! I don't know what a fast time there is, but that looked smooth.

Quote from ATHome :

For example the missing high-res cockpit vs. a nearly black generic cockpit? The low poly-count of the standard cars vs. the premium cars?

Apart from that. I meant the way the cars perform.

thanks for the info BBT & PMD.

As for mods, a little research will be required to find out whether the modders are legit if the premium thing gets out of hand.

I'm under impression that rF2's modding community is similar to FSX's in that to get quality accurate add-ons based on real researched data, one must pay for the content. Was that not the case?

Also, how do I change the layout for the Sepang circuit?

What is up with people preaching for racing sims, as though they want to 'save' people from... what?

Has anyone noticed major differences between the standard cars vs premium cars? I can't quite place it, but there is something odd.

The sound seems as though it is replicating recorded sound from something like the hero camera or similar.

Arg my laptop sucks... I wont be able to really give it a go till the end of this summer.

should have done that... I'm not the brightest, but this is one of my dimmer moments.

arg stupid bank keeps blocking non U.S. transactions! :gnasher:

Need to wait a week for paypal to take my money.

Found it pretty fun with the gamepad, I'd bet it'd not be so with a wheel.

Just got the lifetime one... will see if the buyers remorse kicks in.

I hope my 2.0 i7 will run it smoothly.

anybody pick up the starion? I felt obligated.

off topic:

haha excel sheet!

Your review makes the game seem abysmal. Hope I don't have the buyers remorse when I get it.

Seems so

seems worth it this time around

Do I have to have rFactor in order to get the beta?

I don't know if it is my headphones or just the sound quality, but while watching this, I felt like I was there.

@whiskey

There is lateral flex in the RF2 slomo, video it is just very slight.

edit: maybe my eye are playing tricks

I guess ill get FM4 or FMX when i can get myself a CSR wheel, either elite or otherwise it'll still be a while. washing machines are exxpensive...

I searched specifically for the CSR Elite wheel and turned up with no specific results. Therefore this.

This eventually leads into the topic of the CSR Elite. Bear with me.

As those who own a G25/27 may know, the motors of these mid-range sim wheels are not quite strong enough to produce the full curve of feedback as the wheels approach maximum slip. As the rough graph shows, either the force feedback near the center of the wheel is close to zero when full motor force is used at maximum slip, or there is a major cutoff of any feeling when the force feedback us turned up to any reasonable amount. This dilemma became apparent to me from reading this thread.

The aforementioned problem is that when the car is in relatively low slip angles, there is practically no force feedback to help in predicting the amount of counter steer required to maintain the proper direction. Or the FFB is too high for the wheel thus producing a linear force which removes the advantage of having a FFB wheel.

Now into the CSR Elite Wheel.

The only official technical specifications given on the Fanatec website about the CSR Elite wheel is that it is powered by two "strong and fast" 120W belt driven electric motors. Being a layman, and partly from lack of information, I have no clue how translate that into torque. What I'm trying to get at is, how strong is 'strong' and how fast is 'fast'? It is reasonably acceptable to say that the wheel is stronger and faster than the G25/27; however, is the amount of 'strong' and 'fast' worth the extra $239.96 USD (compared to the retail G27 price) or the extra $289.55 USD (compared to the CSR price) for just a wheel?

Does anyone already have the CSR or CSR Elite that can offer some information, if even just an opinion? Any information on the CSR or Elite models would be much appreciated.

I may be behind on all of the patches and updates, but I am curious about the steering linearity, has that problem actually been fixed, or are there only workarounds?

I might want to get a loan, or borrow off my retirement for the CSR Elite wheel and pedals.

Maybe even throw in some home equity.

yeah just looked a few pages back and from the vid... horrible. Owhelll was in the market for a new wheel anyway. which fanatech is the good one? from the website I cant tell which is the premiere model.

OMG CSR elite FK I wish I could afford that
