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

It's a shame that it is not possible to disable the movement of the camera.I feel that the movement is more important than bonnet cam.
This mod is really successful!


Thx again

Thanks for your kind reply and nice screenshot, Sébastien Degraeve.
I'm relieved to hear you like the camera movement too.
Unfortunately, WRC 3 does not have "Visible Steering Wheel" option at this time.
But I hope Milestone will add its option and support In-car Onboard View officially in their future titles.
Thanks again too !

Thanks for the replies.

I want to get this game but now I'm hesitant as I have a T500 wheel, CSP's and sequential shifter.

Advanced physics mod is out!!!

Wrong password?

I get a gamecontroller feeling, when the TH8RS is plugged in (Controller ID 1). Without it, I can use separate USB devices like my CSR Elite and my CST pedalset (with an analog handbrake on that controller) as they should.

 

[Mkase]

wrong PW here, too!
???

 

[Patrick Spence]

You have to put in the pw and type in the numbers it asks you under it.

WRC 3 is now a SIM. Totally transformed, feels like RBR!! Here is a run I just recorded @ france using the mod.

 

[JvMr]

Nice!

Btw, how about AI? Is it adjusted, as surely the times are slower with the mod?

Yes, EC recommends lowest AI setting. Also, change your FFB to 1 or 2 clicks up from zero.

It's holiday on ice on the French Tarmac ?

 

[bertox]

What? You ever play rally?

 

[Patrick Spence]

The French stages are damp/icy.

Patrick, I take your word for it. I've just downloaded and also donated. I've not tried it yet and won't be able to until later but I'm just glad there are modders supporting this title.

 

[kludger]

I like the grip reduction, feels like a great improvement, hope they keep working on this.

 

[Patrick Spence]

It's more than just grip reduction, they made tons of changes if you look at the change log. Pretty impressive stuff.

Another vid, super special.

 

[John Robertson]

how do I download this.?

Nevermind I didn't realize the graphic under the WRC graphic was a d/l link.

Yes and I have more grip me.
