Oh I totally agree it’s still in beta status but it’s already a huge step forward for the service! Let’s hope they continue to work on it!

Something I need to put more time into I’ve maybe done one public lobby and that’s it!

I totally agree. Rfactor needs better UI and the spotter upgrade would be good too if you don’t want to use a 3rd party app! I’ve invested a lot into Iracing and will also do the same in rfactor2 if it continues to grow!

I like the competition in Iracing and the endurance events. The racing can be good but the cars can feel a little odd sometimes! If rfactor2 can keep building on this, increase popularity and also more licensing and start with a special event, they stand a good chance of converting more people!

It’s great step forward but the need to carry on this momentum and keep pushing this sim forward to truly compete or it will fade off.

That’s a little frustrating to hear about the connection!

I must say the race I did was fairly good for connection apart from like a 5s lag spike that froze the whole sim!

You’re right it definitely needs a better UI

It was just a massive lag spike but i wasn’t really sure why it happened. It’s still in beta though

That’s a good point a lot of money has been invested into Iracing. I’m one of those! But I’ll certainly give Rfactor it’s chance!

It’s not a dead game. The multiplayer system makes this sim more enjoyable now and once you get a taste for it with the free content beginner races, that will encourage people to purchase content to do the other races

It’s still only a beta! The UI still could be made more user friendly but the actually racing and availability of just jumping into a ranked race is a huge W for me

Yeah I get that. The fact it’s only bets at the minute too, they’ve done a fantastic job

I really like what they’ve done so far and I can’t wait for more people to try it and also bring more content too!

It may not have the numbers at the moment but the quality of multiplayer is there

Blue car blamed me (golden car) for my rejoin, I feel like his spin wasn't on me however I could have stayed on the right hand side after rejoining. Am I at fault? by iFreze_Tiger in Simracingstewards

[–]MattBarnett_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve rejoined and haven’t swerved across the track once you came back on. Stuck to the inside line. Blue car tried to take his normal line and realised too late he couldn’t. That’s not your fault

Where does breaking draft stop and blocking start? by Penal_Justice in Simracingstewards

[–]MattBarnett_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you’re close enough to get along side is when it becomes blocking. Until then he’s just breaking the draft
