WRC4 WRC 4 The Game

[Bram Hengeveld]

On the iOpener website there is a very interesting article about an upcoming World Rally Championship simulator:

World Rally Championship's next game: Racing live against rally heroes

The next generation WRC computer game will allow players to 'compete' in live rallies", states ISC chairman Neil Duncanson in the April version of SportBusiness International magazine. ISC, the global promoter of the World Rally Championship (WRC), mentions WRC's ultimate goal as building up an online gaming world championship alongside the real thing.
ISC and the computer gaming industry believe the next step in gaming is this 'live' competition between gamers and real drivers, made possible through iOpener's patented technology.
ISC CEO Simon Long says: "Now we are a global promoter, we want this to be multi-platform, multi-publisher, multi-territory."
For Long and Duncanson the new game is part of WRC's broader efforts to appeal new fans beyond the hardcore enthusiastics. FIA's chairman Max Mosley has said the virtual champion will be honoured at the WRC's annual end-of-season awards ceremony in Monaco.

Last April we already brought you the first news about iOpener Media's beta testers recruitment for their Real Time Racing project.

The news about this technology where virtual racers can compete against the real drivers on the track in real time is now spreading amoung the simracing communities.

iOpener is still looking for the worlds best simracers to join their beta test program that's about to start soon. If you are interested in joining then you can sign up on the RTR website

I prefer the version 1.There isn't this effect of watercolour especially visible in the sky.
Here the last version:


Contrast is a little too high.On some rallies, it's difficult to differentiate between the landscape(mountains, trees) and the sky.
Here the first version:

Thanks for the comparsion again. I tweaked again some hrs to get this alive:

Try that on several places with cockpit view mainly.
Sky is fixed and also the exposure of the snow track itself.
Thats the best between both worlds and the way to go for both snow and dirt tracks.
I really feel the white is a bit oversaturated in default game therefore v 1 will look that over the top. Hope you like it, thats maybe the upcoming update version.

Thanks guys for your work.

Hey mate,

I would like to ask if its possible to get the cam with disabled brake movement?
would be great cause the effect looks a bit "hard" on my setup if i step intoooo the brakes.

Hello, modmate.
I think driver's head inertia & body inertia related movements are very well adjusted and don't feel any problem.
As you wrote "on my (your) setup", it may be a physics side

Great work for sure, who ever is doing it!

The icy stages look much more slippery, I was disappointed when I first drove the monte carlo stages, so much grip on the tarmac.

 

[Kai Lohmann]

Sure , cause i just can cheack on my setup, the view is great of course its just i step into the brakes sort of hard here and there since i play with shoes on (t500rs).
If i do so the braking looks like a frame drop..
But nevermind mate, i will do one for personal use for me.

 

[Sébastien Degraeve]

Thx modmate.For me,this new version is perfect!

Thanks for your reply, modmate.
I don't have any problem with the braking, it is the best way for you

 

[MJRL]

Yes, thats it
Thanks for your reply.

 

[Tommi-TAG]

Yes, thats it
Thanks for your reply.

I feel sorry for not being able to help you so much.
And thanks again for your kind reply too.

Is it possibile to center the cockpit cam like a real Rally's Onboard Camera?
Thanks for any answers

[Tommi-TAG]

Hello, Alvi84.
Thanks for your comment.
Yes, it's possible and actually I'm working on it as "Action Cam".　Here is a preview pic.

The problems are we can't display ...

- Co-Driver
- Driver's helmet & body

in cockpit view at this time. So, as seen in this pic, we can't move camera position to backward from this point.
Anyway, it's enough fun to play as it is.
It needs some more work and testing. I'm a bit busy lately but I'd like to continue to work on it. Please give me a little more time.
Thank you

nice pics! how did you change the sponsors to real ones?

 

[Patrick Spence]

Hey Manuel, good to see you bro! I'm playing through the whole 13 event calender as Petter, not the Road to Glory BS. That's why the sponsors are legit.

Speaking of which I just got to France and have a couple rallies I need upload pics from.
