personaly i think all the content should be 50% -75% off until the game goes gold.....as theres no single player mp and is in early beta its kind off a kick in the junk to pay full price to hotlap just to have it go on sale shortly after. It would have been a smart thing to do that would have gained alot more respect in the community and be a thank you for supporting the title during development
On the upside there will be an official series addon coming shortly that really excites me and should keep people busy till the mp bugs is sorted out, cant tell you which series at this point but its one of my favorites and cant wait till its released :)
I fear for simbin's future after hearing the latest on this DTM game not having multiplayer and the sim racing communities reaction has not gone down well at all.
It also worries me since it is the same game as RRE' will it be this time next year until multiplayer is applied also?
It's mind boggling.... I even posted on the forum saying they should've have worked on getting more features into RRE before releasing the Dtm project and the price is just ridicously priced for the amount of content offered factor in all the missing features. Personally as it's just another beta the price should have been $10-15 as thank you to supporting the project than when it's complete and polished with all the features than talk about charging full price. Honestly I feel there becoming another T10 developing team :(
Until this sim gets mutliplayer I don't see it become very popular. Also no native support for triples is pretty weak too. I had to go into the ini file and manually put in my screen resolution to get it to run on triples.
? Triples worked fine for me I just went into video settings and selected the resolution, I've never once went into an ini file to adjust anything, everything else will come in due time :)
Like the other games it's just another beta and won't draw anyone till it's complete. Iam just excited to see simbin bring aboard a few top modders and track designers from the community to help with the project :)
I went into th e video settings and all i could pick was 1440*900 or a smaller resolution. I didnt have an option for my 4320*900 resolution for some reason. Maybe it is an eyefinity thing?
Some new events using the dtm content has been unlocked and free to try this week. I came across an interesting conversation with one of the devs regarding that the new physic coder found an issue with the current FFb and road feel and is working on a fix with another dev to greatly improve the overall feel :)
Stelios Fevgatos said: ↑ I think that physics in not the problem, its their translation through the wheel / ffb that is bad. If they fix FFB i think we are fine its a little bit of physics and larger chunk of FFB to be precise. Mark was in the studio last week and he ran some test by stripping down the current FFB to single effects only, so we could figure out what the current issue was.
Ill try to explain but i am a bit of an idiot when it comes to all of this code stuff
The roadfeel as it is designed is added by the artist, but although it seemed the implementation was correct it didn't translate into the steeringwheel at all. After some digging they found out although the right properties/actions were being called, but by the time the car hit the "bumpy" road where the FFB effect should be triggered, the car already passed it and the effect was terminated before it actually even started. Small fail there one could say! but now we know at least part of the culprit that has been haunting us for some time.
Its a step int he right direction for us to figure out where to look at, and as said Marko and Mark are on top of it, hopefully you will be able to find out for yourselves soon enough!
On another note sp & mp are getting closer to release and hopefully the wtcc content !
Rre has a video competition on post a video of you driving the pagani zonda at raceroom raceway and become eligible for 5000 vrp points to use towards content, just post to your favorite social crap media using hashtag.....something :)
I was running this afternoon in a few lobbies with 20+ and it was a blast, alot better than i expected :) hopefully they will add a league function so you can run an ofical season online.
If you need any help with anything let me know and ill do my best!
I am a day late posting this but RRE and dtm are hosting a small series through out march to promote dtm 15 season start. It's a 4 race/hotlap season online in the competition section of rre.
There also a discount code for dtm 14 valid till the 6th of march .
Compete in the weekly hot lap challenge and the top 23 point leaders will be selected at the end of the month to compete live against 7 dtm drivers.
Tons of goodies to be given away :)
http://game.raceroom.com/dtm2014/competitions/448/leaderboard
Ya I am excited for the dedicated servers as leagues will start hosting. So far all the add on experiences are excellent tho Iam really eager for the wtcc 14 content :)
Try 900 with 30 steering lock on classics and 540 with 20-23 steering lock on modern gt/touring cars
sector3 has a new forum for everyone, tons of resources, sneak peaks and prizes!
https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/baileys-free-custom-b...
We're currently testing 3 new G5 class cars and 3 tracks to be added, not to mention the caddy and all new physics for the gt2 class....All of which are pretty awesome.
RRE is running away with official content and licenses compared to other titles, which makes me scratch my head since they just went through bankruptcy and restructuring?
Still alot of features to come and tweaks/update but it's coming together quite nicely and really enjoying the product, it's gonna get even better with the wtcc 14 series.
Make sure to check out the competition section ingame with tons of goodies.
Free content, discounts, button boxes, tachometer give aways, a chance to race against pro dtm drivers and a chance at gain a real life racing seat. 5 members last week got a chance to drive a bmw gt4 car at Hockenheim for the weekend!
Super cool free app is available for those contemplating a button box and have a tablet kicking around. Not sure if it works with other games or not but saves you a $100+ and a USB port as it runs off your pc wifi.
https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/baileys-free-custom-b...
The recent updates and content available have helped draw alot of fans to the game and realizing the potential it has and it shows in the multi player alfa, during the uk times there's usually a 10-15 servers running with 15+ drivers.
The next update is almost ready and will bring 3 new ffb parameters cadillac cts all new physics to the gt2 class cars and possibly a track if all the bugs get worked out in time.
Almost forgot custom championships will be added.
Theres a preview and video in the link
https://forum.sector3studios.com/index.php?threads/cadillac-cts-v-r-gtr2...
Simply amazing what these guys have accomplished and done in a short time with every thing they ve gone through in the past yr!
The next time you hear a dev say " it's not possible, we're a small team and lack funds"
Ask them how did simbim/sector3 release a free base engine, layoff half there staff, claim bankruptcy, restructure in a yr and still land 3 major official series along with all the other licenses while releasing an update once a month?
Along with having the best official content of any sim this why I will always support this team!
RaceRoom | WIP WTCC 2014 - Chevrolet RML Cruze TC1 @ Suzuka: https://youtu.be/0tmKEgT6VvM
I can't wait for the wtcc 14 pack to be released as touring cars are my favorite. Raceroom with Tom Coronel and RML worked together to make the car as authentic as possible.
There was a dev reply about a comment on the nordslief saying we just recieved the laser scanned data and have a big project ahead......laser scanned Green Hell?
