So I guess much easier way would be to let a few independent pro drivers compare handling in sims using the same car, setup and on similar track conditions. I know there are industrial machines that measure some of the above parameters at different loads and slip angles but they are not that accurate. But in my opinion it was pretty good even with previous tire model in GT3 pack.ĭoes anyone have any insight in regards to tire models and handling accuracy in general, in most popular sims? I guess it’s hard to objectively measure and it would access to detailed telemetry including tires temperature, flex and behavior when loosing traction, sliding, and regaining grip. To be fair in RF2, when I drive the cars that have recently updated tires, like in Endurance Pack, the handling feels realistic. The hardest part is stimulating behavior at and over the limit. Even simpler engines based on old ISI gMotor2 are capable of producing better, accurate results (good example is handling in Automobilista). Now, Image Space Incorporated has broken the silence, tweeting about the progress of rFactor 2’s new tiremodel: Installing a new state-of-the-art physical and thermodynamic tire model, this will make driving much more intense. I mean pCars 1 had advanced SETA tire model, but cars handling was way off in some cases. For almost a year, no new tweets have been published on the official rFactor 2 Twitter account. Even if it's true, it doesn't mean it's most realistic in terms of handling. ‘Normal’ damage repairs function as intended.I've read rF2 tire model (and physics in general) are most advanced at least amongst commercial sims.

Lost wheel intermittent repair after driver change, possibly more likely with higher damage percent set.Anisotropic filter setting fixed for gJED GMTs.Fixed AI cars in pitlane when yellow flag gets thrown getting confused about what they are doing.Fixed some issues with virtual vehicles not showing up in car list.Fixed exploit that could allow people to change the fuel level when that wasn’t supposed to be allowed.Fix for 2nd pitlane cars not finding the right pitlane in race.Changed the way FFB gets ‘paused’ to avoid halts with certain FFB drivers.When the player’s car is under AI control & the race finishes, he will now retire to the pits and stay retired.Fixed bug where if an AI retires early due to mechanical failure & doesn’t make it completely off the road (to the right), AI following him might try to avoid him….by turning straight into him.For rear flap rules, check track wetness in all sessions, not just race by default.Various fixes for multiple pitlanes tracks.Added ability to automatically mirror tires rather than re-running TTool tests on a mirrored tire. Another damage I would like to see implemented in the tire model is too low of tire pressure damaging the tire as in real life and the possibility of tire punctures or cuts due to contact to a sharp object.

Tire planar contact compliances can now be adjusted based on tire pressure, etc.

Note this may be used to restore the fixed setup when that feature is enabled. Restore garage setup upon race rejoin, if server’s Multiplayer.JSON setting “Race Rejoin” is set to the new value of 3.TTool: added a way to set the Surface Load Goal during Quasi Static Analysis, rather than using Surface Height directly.Changed default for Controller.JSON value “Use thread” from “true” to “false”. The tire model would be how the tire behaves under load: Lateral load, gravitational load, weigh transfer, does the tire diameter grow with speed, how does the tire react to compression and rebound from bumps in the road, how does the tire flex differently when these load occur in a not rotating versus rotational condition.Session starting times now default to track GDB values rather than always 9am.Image Space Incorporated has released a new build of their rFactor 2 simulation.īuid 1098 does not introduce any new content but brings plenty of fixes and small improvements as listed below.
