Hello fellow racers!
With this thread I do not want to disaprove the devs work or anything like that! I enjoy the way the devs are working on the game and have nothing to say against it.
This is some kind of a question regarding other games and what good the devs could get from them.
Ok, so I've been playing rFactor for the last couple days and was wondering. All those mods , are they legal? For example, i think in order to have a ferrari race, for example in Nordschleife, someone would need to ask ferrari permission to have their cars in a game and pay for it right? Also with Nordscheleife correct?
In rFactor, do they ask permission to all those manufacturers and track owners? If so, does anybody have an idea how much would it cost?
If money is a problem, would it be possible to make a 99% nordschleife replica, and the last 1% would be added to make it "fantasy" but also almost realistic and thus not having to pay for it? :P Like GTA cars...looks like a Ferrari but its called something like Ferbari! :P
The other question is, and I don't know if this has been mentioned before or not, is it possible to include the most known add-ons (Pitspotter, sound remixer sounds, etc) in the next LFS release?
Anyways, post your thoughts (even tho they have been already posted somewhere else)...but please, no flames ok?
I had this idea after reading Eric's opinion on iCON magazine, when he says its easier to model a real car than to model a 3D car from scratch...if so, why not model a ferrari and call it Ferbari? You get the point? I know you are going to think "ok, so keep with the FZR (because it's already done)", but then I would say you can't compare FZR engine sound with a Ferrari one...
PS: Sorry i can't make myself more clear...i just lack vocabulary! :P
Regards
