Oh come now....

1. What have I said to give the impression I'm angry? I simply tried to explain - in response to a question from yourself, and very politely I thought - why this particular thread is not the correct place to (repeatedly) post how much one likes another game. There are plenty of more appropriate threads for that kind of discussion. I'm not angry at all, but I will admit to being a little frustrated at what has been coming across as a repeated sales pitch for Raceroom. Not because I have any issue with people praising other games they like, but because it's been happening in an inappropriate thread.

2. If you're passionate about Raceroom, about your feelings on its comparison with AMS2, about discussing those comparisons, and any aspects of Raceroom that Reiza might do well to pay attention to, then why let a few people suggesting you take the discussion to another thread stop you? Respectfully, that sounds like cutting one's nose off to spite one's face. If your post had been in 'General Chit Chat' or 'Other Sims' or 'What I think Raceroom does better than AMS2' then the response would have been very different.

3. I keep criticising you? As far as I'm aware I've only ever responded to you one of your thirty odd posts and that was today. (Well twice now). But even in that response, where did I criticise you? All I did was suggest that your post was in the wrong thread.

4. Putting only dislikes and disagrees? I've checked back thirty odd messages from yourself, and I've only disliked one and disagreed with another. So in total 2/30, or even looking at posts from today only, 2/10.

The first message I disliked partly because it was a Raceroom "sales pitch" in an inappropriate thread, but mostly because of your comment: "And now, enjoy my video testing the Lamborghini Huracán. AMS2 developers have been promising for over a year. While you wait (and wait), RaceRoom lets us enjoy it in all its glory". Reiza have not been promising any Lamborghini, Huracan or otherwise for anywhere close to a year. The Lambo DLC was only announced in the last few weeks.

Then I disagreed with a post where you essentially defended having posted in an inappropriate thread and basically accused the forum majority of being closed-minded, saying "But the people would still be the same as here, so I doubt it would lead to an enjoyable and interesting discussion elsewhere.". Why have so little faith in others? I don't think there's been even a single response saying you shouldn't discuss Raceroom or your feelings on how it compares with AMS2. Pretty much all responses have basically said go for it - just do so in a more appropriate thread.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. I want to clarify that I wasn’t referring to you specifically, and I’m sorry if it seemed like I was pointing fingers. I write in Italian and then translate to English, so sometimes the meaning doesn’t come across as intended. When I mentioned dislikes and disagrees, I was speaking in general about the active participants in this discussion, not singling anyone out.

I also wanted to respond to several points raised by others with a single message. I’m not upset, but I do feel a bit disheartened by some of the negative feedback. I put a lot of passion and effort into creating this comparison, as you can see from the video where I even synchronized the laps for accuracy.

Just to clarify, I don’t have any benefit in "promoting" Raceroom. No one is paying me, and neither is my YouTube channel, as someone mentioned. My channel is simply a place where I share my passions with friends—it’s not a professional platform. I’m not a YouTuber, I don’t have thousands of followers, and I don’t monetize anything. I created this video purely out of passion for simulation and wanted to share it here to hear your thoughts, nothing more.

I truly didn’t mean to imply that you were at fault, and I appreciate the time you took to respond and share your perspective. My goal is to share thoughts and have interesting discussions, not to create frustration for anyone.

I also agree with you that the next time, I’ll make sure to post in a more appropriate section. Thank you for pointing that out—it’s a fair observation, and I’ll keep it in mind. I hope we can continue to discuss these topics constructively and in good faith.

I´m leaving my country and my rig in 4-5 days for 1 year and I hope a lot that the 1.6 gets released anytime soon. Even though the chances are minimal I guess.

A question thats not 1.6 related. Is there a mod or a way to rename the cars? Instead of Formula Ultimate Gen 2 I want to rename it to Formula 1 2022. I know Reiza cant do that due to licensing. But modding is ok.
