I was wondering if Tapatalk support was in place for the forums and if not, could it be?

[Update schedule]

There are a few things that bother many people, potential customers. PiBoSo, if you read this, please take it as an attempt to communicate and hopefully help. So, here are some issues that I have had highlighted to me by people in my sim racing community and on youtube via comments on videos.

• Seemingly random update schedule
• lack of teasers
• no idea about future features
• Netcode prediction code

To expand further. Please note, this is feedback gathered from many sources, seasoned sim racers. No trolling, just genuine concerns or advice. Anyone with any clarification would be welcome.

Update schedule
It seems very random. With each of the PiBoSo titles it seems very "You will get it when it is done, whenever that may be" with Kart Racing Pro being the primary focus of updates. Maybe this reflects the revenue stream and that PiBoSo are simply supporting the title more which brings them most income. I agree with that, bills need to be paid. This assumption has no basis and is 100% speculation.

Lack of teasers
There were two screenshots of vehicles, which is nice...... but, there is nothing I can "sell" people. I honestly have so many people ready to buy, but nothing to entice them with. This is part of the reason I made the video to showcase the dynamic features of the sim. As much of a "hey guys, look at this!!!" I could muster.

Future Features
What is the direction of the sim? What do you intend to do with it? No matter how long term with no ETA. Lots of people I speak with have...... well, no idea why they should buy, because they have no idea what the future holds.

Netcode
I don't know the technical term. But basically this is pretty much the most common thing people comment on. The jittering about of other players on servers. Of course, this could also be because of the clients terrible connection.


There are probably more and to be complimentary I often hear that the driving is superb and that the dynamic effects of the dry line and track rubbering are also brilliant. I personally feel all of the building blocks are right here.....it just needs......focusing? (Probably the wrong word.

Please, please, please, don't take this as a bashing, it's not. I absolutely love all of the PiBoSo titles and promote them to anyone I can in any medium I can. I'm not asking for exclusive access to sensitive data or anything.

If some of this stuff has been answered already, maybe more established members can point me in the direction of the details.

Thank's so much for reading.

I tried to put together a video to show off the features of WRS. I hope I got all of the info correct. I just wish I had more time to do more laps for more effect but people should get the idea.

On the server page at http://stats.gp-bikes.com/servers.php I see lots of servers including two of my own. In the sim I am only seeing 3 servers, only one of my own.

Any ideas what is causing this?

FYI "my" servers are hosted on a dedicated server in the Netherlands using different dedi ini's and different ports. The problem above is why I put two servers up, I got the impression it was a ghost town online with no support.

After a good while of practising last night, having purchased yesterday, I finally had a really good fun run on the 990!

PS, how do we embed YT vids?

Hi guys,
As part of my degree studies, in my 2nd year one of my assignments was to create a Formula One car, The Ferrari F150/ 150 Italia. I still have the model files and I was wondering about the viability of converting it in to a mod.

I want to point out this model was made to look "as good as possible" and the intention was not to put it in to a game. I presume the poly count would have to be lowered, a lot, to make it viable as the poly count is at just under 9,000....

For all I know, it's totally useless, I dunno.  But I am willing to donate the model to any modder who thinks they could make it work or would like to try.

The model was built in Cinema 4D. I could try to export in other file formats if needed.

If it's useless, let me know. I just know nothing about putting the model in to the sim.
Below is a video of my assignment submission showing the building process and result of the build and also a picture of the model in Cinema 4D
