Better known today as the developer of Skyrim and Fallout, Bethesda once had a well-respected racing game franchise and were deep into development of a licensed Skip Barber Racing title that never released.
Video game development is rarely about one man, but if it was, then Terence Groening should certainly get a mention for his contributions to the genre as the man responsible for the physics of Sportscar GT, EA’s PC F1 and NASCAR games of the early 2000’s, rFactor, rFactor 2 and every title and rFpro simulator that spawned from ISI’s engine.
This interview with RSC details his early life and career, through to him joining iRacing in 2021.
Studio 397 posted their first roadmap of 2020 today. Not much there unless you’re a GT3 racer… The bulletpoints are:
– GT3 Balance of power update (more info below).
– New version of the Beta UI coming next week (early February).
– Monaco and Le Mans are about to get some art fixes/updates.
The GT3 BOP update will have the following changes:
Radical RXC GT3: -30kg weight penalty
BMW M6 GT3: -30kg weight penalty
McLaren 650S GT3: -5kg weight penalty.
Audi R8 LMS GT3 2018: +5kg weight penalty.
Porsche 991 GT3-R: -1.5% engine torque/power output.
Bentley Continental GT3: +10kg weight penalty, -2% engine torque/power output.
Callaway C7 GT3-R: -2.5% engine torque/power output
Aston Martin Vantage GT3: +15kg weight penalty
Unchanged are the McLaren 720s GT3, Audi R8 LMS GT3 2019 and Mercedes AMG GT3.
It sounds like they took a good look at the feedback on the UI. Let’s be frank, the UI in rF2 has always been an overly complex mess than needed a bunch of work, I am so happy to see them make progress on this!
