My biggest issue with the ISI engine used since F12k is a lack of throttle response. I.e. lift off and the wheels carry on spinning. Plus a tendancy to to lack feel when about to break away. Rfactor seems better to me. Feel is hard to explain - it does feel different though. Still not "as one" with it as the papy engine mind you. |

No, I have 12% speed sensitivity, so I can take my eyes off the road on the straights, but I use the exact same setting in the 3 games (even a bit more if I'm really driving the F1s in F1C). Trust me, there is no noticable difference in the basic physics except maybe the HAT samples are on by default (or I missed the setting in the configuration files). Which is not to say the implementation and feel of the cars isn't the best we've seen from ISI themselves yet. Jan. =--- |

And I'm kinda with you - I like to pretend I'm doing something real, rather than pretend to be doing that's pretending to be something else... *I* know what I mean by that, anyway!! |

It may well be that the cars are simply softer, but with rFactor I get something that I never got with F12K2, the GTR mod for it or the GTR demo - a sense of being there. I get it with Papy stuff, RBR and to a slightly lesser extent LFS. I can't put my finger on it, but previously ISI stuff that I'd tried was "clinical". I'm lovin' rF, tho!!! |

I tried pretty darned hard to get to grips with the previous ISI engined sims. Really hard, yet never acvhieved the feel factor. Rfactor is a definite step forward for ISI IMHO. |

Rfactor is a definite > step forward for ISI IMHO. Oh dear... it's 2002 (or 2001, I don't remember) all over again. Get this straight: the difference in feel is not due to a difference in engine, but a difference in implementation. F1 2k2 and GTR2002 felt totally different because of the different data (the implementation) being fed to the same engine. Idem for GPL '65 and '67 and idem for, say, an ETCC2002 BMW M3 (F1C) and the "M" model (rFactor). Jan. =--- |

Depsite their obvious differences in implementation. To me rfactor feels a different base engine, not just a different set of parameters fed into the same engine. As Mark eluded, feel is a hard thing to quantify, but rfactor feels different. Deep down, not just a rehash of an existing engine. I don't believe there is a set of paramaters a mod team could enter into the F1C engine that would feel the same. Cheers Tony |

Not the same as F1C, or GTR. From what I've read though, the multiplayer demo may not even be the full package physics wise. It still feels pretty great as is though. -- David G Fisher |
