News End of Summer 2019 - Development notes

If I am honest I admit that in past months I lived by the impression that RR's active development has come to kind of a natural slowdown or halt, and that it now is about polishing some things here and loosing some lose ends there and preparing the transition to a new engine. That new courses would come, I did not necessarily expect anymore. Beside the polishing (physics), I see it as a pretty much completed project.

I am happy to learn that S3 disagrees with that!

 

I said this many times before and saying this again: Thank you very much for your efforts to make the greatest Racing Sim ever!
With every new update you are closer and closer. Of course, nothing is ideal and everything keeps in moderation, but the pursuit to ideal is still alive in this game!
Huge respect to everybody involved in this process!

 

Very good job !
But ACC gives me the best immersion, with the sound, the graphics and the FFB....
it's time to move to another 3D engine, and the FFB maybe improved, but it feels old....
Good luck.

EDIT: I"ve posted exactly the same thing on the ACC forum, I had +25 likes

with Suzuka, Mount Panorama, Laguna Seca and Kyalam....ACC is definitively my favorite Sim...the next gen.....rain, night, awesome graphics, FFB superior to Raceroom, awesome sound better than raceroom, I love so much ACC......respect for Raceroom, but it's old.....2019 is now the ACC era ....R3E needs rain/nigh = new engine....

 

Really looking forward to the new FFB updates, particularly with respect to DD wheels. Always felt like there was a lack of friction/dampening so i'm hoping the new formula works out well.

Also looking forward to the GT3 physics updates. Can't wait to drive these cars if they make them more challenging/alive.

 

Yes please, meh to the other two.

 

don't you wish every developer would do that!?!?!
I applaud the team for doing that; making the content I already own even better. It shows they care about their customers and their title and are not just pumping out DLC after DLC to fund the next project.

 

last weekend I was at the Nürburgring for the DTM Race. After race 1 on Saturday there was a QA round in the cinema at the ring. Unfortunately, I missed the chance to ask Mr Berger when the DTM is coming back to Raceroom. Probably the cheapest advertisement they can have for the DTM. Or Kunos is taking over with ACC, this would be great as well

 

So, it turns out that I was right, the new track is Bilster Berg:

 

Yes! I knew it's a new one
Good job majuh!
Here is the full video:
Greetings

 

Well, that's great, looks like a fun circuit, but I hope we'll get some high profile tracks as well

 

I think of Bilster Berg like Stowe Circuits big brother: Trackday made, tight and twisty to test new cars, especially the ones on the less powered side of the R3E range. Oh, and don't forget it's a Tilke Track, but a really good one .
Lots of fun with elevation changes!
Greetings

 

Challenge for this track might be the double pitlane at the Ostschleife. Wonder how S3E managed to do that...

 

Are they open at the same time?
If yes, that must be quite a mess in real life

 

Yes, they are for trackdays open(thats the only thing the track can host, sanctioned events won't happen here in reality because they don't have the facilities to do so- but in R3E its possible). The right one is particially from under the T1 restaurant and the other one which you see in the video is on the left. Both are used at the same time to allow more cars to start faster for their laps.
Greetings

 

This is a fantastic looking track, i like this kind of less know tracks you can't find in any other sim.
More info :
4,2 km track (separable into east- und west loop)
2,4 km east loop
1,8 km west loop
10 bis 12 m track width
19 curves
44 vertical curves
70 m elevation change
204 m cumulative elevation change
max. downhill gradient 26 %
Smax. uphill gradient 21%

 

Get your downforce ready for that one.. very curvy

 

Well done majuh! R3Es first real-life test track ...

It looks like a nice rollercoaster ride … unfortunately too much slow corners , but I like the track environment / vegetation.

Next step please (incl. the old GDR layout):

Why Bilsterberg? It's a private test track? I have this track for Assetto Corsa. The mod had be removed quite a while ago from racedepartment because of trouble with the operating company as far as I know. It's a nice track

Looks like fun

 

Unreal...
