I wouldn't be surprised if the major sims supported it. As long as you render 3D properly, it shouldn't be that hard. And most sims make it a major priority to have proper rendering since 3D is so beneficial for sims. That's why I was surprised SMS mentioned looking into it for pcars. They're one of the few guys who've historically had significant issues with 3D rendering.

Someone clearly didn't read their NDA....the reactions on the CARS forum to the video were priceless as always.
How it can sell you on it when it's free?
Paying for individual cars and tracks is called free now?
I'm pretty sure that not all of them are free.

Considering getting iRacing. I've read the IndyCar Series promoting it before, but my dad was interested in us trying it together.

Some tracks are free, others aren't and its the same for the cars. Anyone who posts how much each car, track and/or paint costs (or you see a video showing the cost) has the details completely wrong as RR-RE pricing is not yet finalised 8)
Aw damn, I thought I was special for getting one just now as wellHurrar now I'm in the R3 beta as well.

What build number are you guys using as there are two specific beta teams 8)
I'm also wondering if anyone is not convinced by the 'Get Real' physics mode? I responded to a question a while ago in this very thread regarding the differences between the original demo with all assists active vs the 'get real' physics and stated the unassisted game was like all previous SimBin titles; easy to drive yet hard to master. Now that many of you have sampled the real physics engine and tyre model, what are your thoughts?

Same same. But I can't start mine at all, just get some "Can't connect to server" mumbo jumbo :/

The 'other' group use a different build with a lot of bug fixes. Should be out soon for other users.

Got in the beta today too, but was having a weird issue where the game would crash just after the start finish line on the first lap. After that happening about 3 times in a row it seems to have fixed itself.
My other issue is with the G27; it doesnt use the whole 900 degree of the wheel, just a very small portion, and i cant seem to change that at all.
360 pad support is great however, it's nice to finally have a pc race game that I can play either way.

The latest build allows the user to adjust the in-game wheel rotation to whatever they like up to 1080 degrees. I adjust my G27 wheel using the Logitech software and setting a profile for RR-RE - SimBin seemingly prefer the default 270 degrees but I prefer 540 for GT cars.

All of you who got into the R3E beta, did you receive any emails from Simbin prior to the beta invite? I havent received anything at all yet so just to make sure i tried applying again but it said the email address was already used. I cannot use it to login to the raceroom.net site though, a separate account is needed for that?
I'm in the same boat. So if somebody could answer this, I'd be appreciative. We just need to know whether you ever received any e-mails before receiving your beta invitation.
So was anyone else having connectivity issues? I couldn't get online and couldn't actually ping the IP address it was trying to connect to (even the portal). It was stopping at my router so maybe that needs a reboot or something (it's only a newie, but haven't had any problems with it thus far).

The rightful GPL successor. It looks incredible, but without any classic tracks there's no doubt some of the charm is lost. Anyway, I'll happily resub the day it comes out. Can't wait.
I could have sworn I signed up for the RaceRoom beta... actually I think I may have bailed because it wanted a hardware profile, which I couldn't provide at the time. Glad to hear it plays well though. That full assist demo wasn't the best way to intro a sim, so it's good they're putting a better foot forward.

Likewise - intake numbers must've increased markedly in recent days. I'm looking forward to giving it a good crack.

Hilarious in what way?That comparison video with pcars is hilarious. I'm keen to give this a whirl tonight

I so love to see when someone's own arrogance crashes onto him.

Reality looks so much different 3 years of development later Simbin, doesn't it?
More info about pricing here > http://insider.simbin.com/r3e-new-video-and-pricing-details/
I guess the only good thing is it's on Steam. Might see some 75 percent off sales. But, yeah, I was looking forward to GT3 because I don't want my racing games to be F2P. If I'm gonna spend money on cars and tracks, it's going to be with iracing and their online infrastructure.
Yeah, because with iRacing it actually makes sense.
