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.

So jumping on users who gives negative feedback of a game is considered constructive critisism here?

Jebus, the reply war is off topic. Topic here is the KTM release.

You can jump on people on the conversations posts.

But that is not only for you. I mean that you all. I only got your latest post as a reply since you were going off topic.

Name calling, troll feeding and other stuff, please do in the conversations.

To be fairly honest, I agree with you on the features stuff, it's imperative that S3 releases more features, this game is way too light on features still, though I'll keep getting the content I like seeing out.

Back to the topic folks, last thing I want to this is to become an inflamed topic.

It seems that I may be one of the "Whingers" that wants more features rather than constant car releases. After spending hundreds of pounds on RRE tracks and cars (No I didn't buy the all inclusive pack last Christmas) I would like to be able to compete in endurance style races with night and day transitions and driver swaps. I have no problem with RRE as a sim, as I actually love playing it. However, I would just like a bit of concentration, by the developers, on the ability of the platform to deliver true, multi driver league racing, with realistic weather and night time effects. This would make this sim unbeatable. That's "My opinion" and I believe I've been able to post that on Race Department since the day I joined and subscribed over 2 years ago. Previous to that I was a fan of VirtualR which was spoilt by bickering and fan boys.

Please don't make this site go down the drain by putting down people's opinions when they don't agree with your own. We have enough of that **** to deal with in the UK after the Brexit vote so I don't want to come on here and read childish arguments when I come here to cheer myself up.

TVM.

Just to back @Lorenzo Bonder up, we understand that with every new content thread in R3E people like to bring up features and the business model, but let's keep it civil.
If it goes off topic or abusive after the warning I will close it.

Nah, we ain't pulling a referendum just yet.

But gives an unlimited supply of pints to all of us in the staff zone to see what what we're capable of doing

 

[Gerbuho]

I do want new stuff, always.
Not a fan of this weird 4 wheels motorcycle but WTH, let's have fun!

 

[M D Gourley]

Anything new from all the Sims I have is always welcome...keeps things fresh...I personally will be purchasing this as it will not break the bank.

 

[Caramidaru Andrei Bogdan]

update happening now, so let's see/...?

 

[Christian Moreau]

Would've preferred the closed top GT4 version but whatever, it's fun to drive in AC and I'm sure it'll make for good racing in R3E as well.

 

[Rodent]

Just gonna point out that this is the X-Bow RR and not R that everyone keeps referencing. Not that I expect there to be a day and night difference. Hopefully we'll see some of the other announced cars out earlier though, kinda looking forward to that M6.

Oh yeah, I will be racing the heck out of that M6 when it comes out.
