DarkSoul Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Rfactor 2 beta preview http://www.simhq.com/_motorsports6/motorsports_200a.html Cant wait to "get in" and drive to those 60`s formula cars ;D
MTFDarkEagle Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Where can I get the beta???!?!!! Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
104th_Crunch Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 It is like the A10 beta. You must pre-purchase in order to play http://rfactor.net/web/rf2/first-time-install/
MTFDarkEagle Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Cool! Thanks for the link :) Might be my stupidity, but how much is it :P ? Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
104th_Crunch Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 $43.99 USD http://www.virtualr.net/rfactor-2-open-beta-now-available
MTFDarkEagle Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Thanks Crunch. Do you also happen to know how much a lifetime license would go for? It does list that possibility on the rfactor website you pointed to, but not on the virtualr.net website.. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
104th_Crunch Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 No problem DarkEagle. i haven't seen an option for lifetime license. In case you missed it though, you get a lifetime license for single player and 18 months for MP if you pre-purchase. It is only MP that you would pay for again. An interesting pricing model for sure.

For real.. Pay extra for multiplayer!? Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
104th_Crunch Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I'll hold my opinion about paying for MP until the release and see what is available. I am not sure I like the idea. They better make it worth while is all I can say.
diveplane Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 sadly i wont be buying it, if this is the direction its going paying for multiplayer no way.. https://www.youtube.com/user/diveplane11 DCS Audio Modding.
PoleCat Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 Looks great! Nice game but I am going to hold off on this one. IMHO this pricing model is a loser for the consumer. Out http://www.104thphoenix.com/
MTFDarkEagle Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 I will get this sim INSTANTLY if they include MP as it should! Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
Rainmaker Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Guys... Multiplayer IS included. 18 months if you purchase during the beta, and 12 months if you purchase at the time of release. Then I believe it's $12(US) a year after, which is a $1 a month. For those that use iRacing, this is mearly a drop in the buck if you consider paying for tracks, cars, etc. Add to the fact that if iRacing goes underwater, so does your ability to use it any more. Like it or hate it, the $12 fee after the first year is mearly to offset the costs of progressing the game further down the line after release. From what has been said, the initial release will not be it, they have plans to further push more updates and features down the line as time progresses, not just bug fixes.
leafer Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 There's always GTR3 and Love for Speed. Off topic but don't race sims make ton of cash more than flight sims? ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

I much prefer getting a first big purchase. Lukas - "TIN TIN" - 9th Shrek Air Strike Squadron TIN TIN's Cockpit thread
104th_Crunch Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 There is also the option of paying $80+ upfront and getting life time multiplayer. I like the beta so far. It has a really good feel. Racing the old F1 cars in the 60's Spa circuit is fun. It is only beta, but what I don't like is the lack of forcefeed back tweaking, the jagged shadows (like DCS before it was fixed). Finally, while the graphics were improved, they are not spectacular. My favorite sim is GTR2 with a F1 mod and rFactor graphics aint much better. I am looking more forward to GTR3. Still, I am happy with rFactor2 as I know it will improve and there will be many free mods for it.
