Road to V1.6 Hype Train (cont.)

I bet on friday next week for the dev update track, trust me guys, i beat lewis on a equal machinery so i cant get wrong lol

 

I think Reiza has hurt itself with the hype it has generated. It would have been enough to have thrown the update into the public consciousness a few weeks before its actual release.

 

Prime Nico against prime Lewis was a blast, they both raced each other hard and sometimes over the limit. I have nothing but respect for Nico for stretching out his limits and after winning the championchip (with a little bit of luck, but there are many champions that got lucky on their way to the title - is that Glock?), he pulled out and said he can‘t do it again.

 

Is Saturday an office day in Brazil?

 

How as it hurt itself? If they had said nothing for 8 months about updates wouldn't we all be complaining that Reiza have stopped developing AMS2 or constant post about why no updates, why no new content and how the long period of silence as hurt Reiza.

 

I think you could make the case that the people on this forum are the ones who are actively engaged with AMS2 and want to see it do well. They are the ones telling friends to buy it and being positive on other forums when people are saying daft things like it's Simcade etc.

Over the last couple months, the people here whether through miscommunication or wishful thinking have had the impression on more than occasion that release is imminent. Only last week we had the Simracing604 videos that again gave the impression we could be seeing a release in few days, Mike could have got that wrong and eventually Renato stepped in saying don't cancel your weekend plans, which was the right thing to do. However because none of the information is that clear people go into the next weekend cycle and get excited and so far it's been for nothing.

Reiza don't have to tell us everything, and I really want them to do well, but they haven't handled this particularly well and the people on here are probably their biggest supporters.

 

I don't know about Brazil, but in the Reiza office it is at the moment. When they are working to try and get an update out the door, we have had beta updates at all days and hours. I do sometimes wonder if they ever go home.

 

Or actually sleep....

 

People is still hoping fort this weekend there is another dev update first...and then another 1-2 weeks

 

I agree that the communication could be better, that's why I find it strange that some people think that Reiza shouldn't have said anything about the update until release day. The long wait could have been made a lot more palatable if we were involved in the journey with regular news of how the updates going. Anyone outside the beta have no idea what is actually being worked on at the moment, is it AI calibration, car set ups, further tweaks to the physics/sound/graphics?

Reiza could probably give a rough estimate of when we can expect the update, but if things change and it takes longer they get a lot of flak. So they have no incentive to give even a very loose timescale.

I too appreciated Renato's post last week, but it gets a bit silly if he as to post every weekend to say 'not this weekend guys'.

The sad thing is we probably won't get even a sniff of what's in future updates until they drop.

 

You went full on personal to the point of asking me out of the forums as if you had any saying in that

I didn't say I'm a rammer. I'm saying it's a ridicolous consideration to have that my actions IN A VIDEO GAME may cause actual harm to other people.

The point of a video game is to have fun or simulate the racing without the actual danger. If someone calibrates their gear in a way that it becomes dangereous to them then it's only on them if something happens.

I refuse to feel guilt in case of crash and worry "I hope that other person don't run their moza at full 21nm, it could be nasty then". If that makes me inconsiderate as you imply then I geuss I'm just not keeping up with the idea of video games and am a bad person

 

The conversation was about ramming people AFTER the race is over. Maybe you missed that part? It's dangerous and people can get hurt.

 

And from the start my notion was that it seems unreasonable to expect other people to act with consideration of others IRL health in an online game. As in it's extraordinary and not normal to be able to actually hurt someone by one's online actions

I see it quite inresponsible to put one's health in hands of total randoms on the internet - and to be honest I'm having trouble comprehending how I'm a villain with such take

Though by the reactions I see that literally everyone disagrees with me and I geuss I'll have to rethink that. I just don't see how that personal go at me by Niessink was justified

 

We've beaten this horse to death, so let's put it away now. Safe racing to everyone.

 

just to keep you posted XD

 

Today I completed the prototype of my new DIY wheel - it's basically a copy of that small one GPLaps has. And I have found out that Group A at Oulton Park is an incredible combo, for those still waiting and who haven't tried it yet. I'm starting to think that maybe 1.6 was actually just the combos we found out about along the way

 

this is one of my hates on the public servers because it happens basically nearly every race i have had my wrist twisted a few times , i now hit the emergency stop at the end of every race now
Very dangerous guys dont do it if the person is not prepared for the impact and takes his hands off the wheel and then tries to stop it spinning injuries ,will occur,

 

I started a South American championship in the Formula Trainer Advanced today. Those tracks are so much fun in these little open wheelers.

With all the waiting for 1.6, I forgot how good 1.5 is.

The FTA in VR on those tracks is just so good. The amount of grip buildup, the edge of sliding a bit, but not too much. It's just with a big smile on my face. And something I don't experience in any other sim.
It's just that one bit where you slide too much and should spin, but you don't... But my hope is high 1.6 will sort that out.

Untill then... I'm somewhere in South America smiling!

 

Don't smile to much while driving a open wheeler. Your lips will get stuck to your gums
