I've been holding off trying RRE since launch, waiting for it to mature a bit. I have also been rather busy with racing all the other sims on my machine (it's been a busy 2013/2014 for simracers).
But now i got the free package installed off of Steam, and i am just experimenting with it.
I felt i needed to start this thread just to say thanks to SimBin/Sector 3 for this title!
As an old Race07/STCC The Game fan and race organizer and fellow Swede, i must say that already, after my limited initial testing i feel that this is the Race07 for modern times, that i envisioned it to be!
The FFB is very good (not rF2 good perhaps, but really good), the visuals are spot on (colors are fantastic) and the audio is really immersive. The most important to me, vehicle dynamics and physics, is also spot on.
At least in the Get Real-mode. It has that "SimBin-feel" of Race07, but more finely tuned. At least on the free cars that i tried.
I was also impressed at the way the UI and visuals are both very slick, but not "over the top" like pCars.
It looks and feels modern, and has all the fancy visuals i ever need, but it also does not overdo it and has no performance issues at all on my system. Just the right approach.
The AI is what really impressed me however. The new so called adaptive a.i. system is really great. I can easily see this title taking the place of Race07, as my goto single player title.
It reminds me of the iRacing concept, but this is better.
Just wanted to vent about my first contact with the title and give some kudos to the team. Awesome work!
Should have avoided trying it really, as it now got even harder to distribute my team between my different sim activities
Note that i only tried the free content yet, but i am tempted to get content right from the start. So i add some questions to other users: what content should i get? I like single player as well as league racing online, and i frequently organize race meetings in closed off leagues (that i would like to introduce to RRE).
Been looking at getting the full DTM 2013 package, being a fan of the
real life-franchise. Will that give me all the tracks and cars? Will it get updated to reflect 2014?
Someone also recommended ADAC content. Is tracks purchased separately, raceable with all car combinations?
