I can, but I wont.

Pretty weak that you can't live with different opinions.

When I first heard these cars were coming they honestly didn't interest me at all, just not my style of racing as I am a touring car fan at heart than gt's but after testing them they grew on me and I can see them making for fun races.
Maybe one day people will remember the base game was free and that with every new license they release the funds made go to paying that license, the devs hard work and for future development of the game. Some have clearly forgotten where the state of this game was at launch compared to where it is now. For the past yr or so every month there has been an update which has brought new features maybe not the ones you want but features non the less and tons of new content.
FYI the game was released in feb 2013 so I don't know where people keep getting 6 yrs of development from ?
What rubs me the wrong way with sim racers in general especially here at RD is when people put there negative 2 cents in the pot and don't even contribute or participate in the club races
At the end of the day it's pretty simple, if you don't like it play something else there's tons of options available on the market

Do you really believe that sales are keeping RR alive? Think again.

 

[Bert Austen]

Not gonna buy this ....its more time for good tracks! This car are in Project cars and Asseto Corsa too. Too Much.

 

[hodge like]

There are quite a few great sims on my hard drive & indeed I love loads of content but I'm afraid AC has 2 great versions of the X Bow meaning that I do not feel the need to spend on RRE version. Between GT Legends, Race 07 & AC i think I have all content bases covered... For now haha.

 

[ThatRacingGuy]

Why do i want this? I mean if it was that Reiter xbow GT4 then hell yeah! but this is a street car

 

[Nick Gregory]

There's always something for anyone to bitch about I guess...

 

[Robert Lemon]

Yawn, another thread in the endless list where a handful of people are incessantly whining about features that they will use far less than their supposed desire to have them would have everyone believe. Just look at the dismal population of rF2 to see how few people actually care about having a fully fleshed out feature list.

No it's not... This is a purpose built track car. It may not be a fully fledged GT race car with street car homologation, or an F1 monster, but this is still a race car. Much like the MX-5 cup and Audi TT cup cars are. Based on their street car counterparts, with power and aero upgrades.

Remember this is the Xbow RR, not the Xbow R. This one has more power and a fair bit more downforce.

There's always something for anyone to bitch about I guess...

Every thread too

And there's always someone saying that the opposing opinions are bitching. I know it.

Saying there is always something for people to bitch about, such as the wishlists in this thread, is quite a lot different than disagreeing with someone's opinion mate

Choochoo...here is the content express. Can't be bothered with cars anymore. From the dozens I own I only race two or three.. Would like to see little things like: option for laps / TIRE PRESSURE (sorry) / advanced car setup / flag system. But I doubt that such depth will ever reach R3E after 6 years of development.

Cough Automobilista cough

Just showing your exceptional quoting skills or do you have a point?

 

[Nick Gregory]

I'm saying you're being a dick/troll about it. I don't much care for AC or PCars, but you don't see me posting in those threads.

Huh?

Dude, you don't have a clue. I like R3E and I want it to be better but adding more cars is not how it gets better atm. IMO

And frankly I don't give a **** where and what you post.

Kids, ladies, gentlemen.

First and only warning.

On topic otherwise we'll do the modest job of mod-editing the posts.

Doesn't have anything constructive to add to the topic? Then go rant or troll somewhere else.
