Has anything been changed regarding height differences in corners? For example the hairpin at mallory park? Can't wait to try tthe new release ;)

Your right, the rider in reality has to hold a part of his mass because he's not on the center of gravity but more inward of it.
You could realize the acceleration forces with a bike movement but the bike could then slowly move back withouth you noticing. while the moving room around gives you the impression of your tilt position. Of course this wouldn't be very practically and the bike tilting as it's done in the example is probably the better solution. In the end there can't be a realistic simulator but a real motorbike ;)

Have you ever thought about the fact that a real bike leans in a corner because this is the point where gravitation and rotation forces neutralize eachother?
So on a real bike in a corner the rider wouldn't have the problem of falling of the bike at the inside. So if you want to build a realistic simulator it would be the better solutions the keep the bike in place (just shake it a litte from left to right) but to move everything around it.

Racing / Re: Mallory Park 250cc Race

Is it possible vor anyone to record the race? Or maybe give the replay files for gpbikes?

Can't look at it right now, but maybe a rotation sensor?

You even have a little bit of slip when a tire is just rolling. I won't explain this but when you think of the tire (maybe in 2D) on the ground it's a circle with a flat spot. Since the hub of the wheel has a constant RPM and the velocity at the tire is proportional to the radius and this rpm the velocity at the surface of the tire must change at the flat spot. So the tire speed in the middle of this spot is less then the surface speed of the tire not on the ground. So the speed of the bike will be somewhere between this speed of the free spinning wheel and the speed the tire has at the point of coontact to the street.
So one parameter for this effect is how much tire pressure you're using. An ideal stiff tire wouldn't show this effect at all.

Nice! But one of the exhaust pipes has a carbon texture. this propably isn't supposed to look like thats, is it?

Well thats a license issue. Some people use licenses for their software that allow other people to even use it as a part for their own commercial software. If the original developer is okay with this, I don't see any problem.

indeed, well over 10 years old, almost 15, lol, and still RBR is one of the most authentic feeling rally sims out there.
seems like in the world of sim gaming, things peaked around the 2000 mark, and have deteriorated since - fancy shiny graphics, sure, all great, but seemingly at the expense of the essence of a good sim.
back then things were looking bright for sim lovers - RBR, GP500 and such. somewhere along the way, devs at large decided that shiny graphics is better than a decent sim component, and things have gone from bad to worse, generally.
there may be one or two exceptions, and PiBoSo's GPB is head and shoulders above anything else on offer, even in the development stages.
give me good sim physics over shiny graphics any day, although it seems that those of us who share this sentiment are in the minority.
i wish the console kiddy generation would hurry up, grow up and mature, and then hopefully realise this as well.  one day. i can but hope. ;D

Well it's the same with all genres of games. I started playing PC games around 2000, mainly ego shooters. I played Rogue Spear (Rainbow Six) and later Counter-Strike (I think 1.3 back then). And also Operation Flashpoint (great game at that time!). At those times you played such a game 2 years. The community was different, too. In the ingame chats you actually talked to people, asked them where they were from or how long they played this game. People commented the last round, and so on. But also: at those times you where a nerd when you were playing any game online. I also think the stories in many single player games were a lot better as well while the games were a lot more deamanding.
Now allmost everything got mainstream and a big business.  Some series like CoD or BF have a release once per year...

But there's also good turns: For example the steering wheels have gotten a lot better since then ;)

I've done a few hours now. Still like it allthough It's definitely not a sim. On tarmac there's allways lots of grip (even when there's ice on it), but on any other surface there seems to be no point where the cars goes from gripping to sliding. I mean I never tried rallying but I've driven a car over gravel or mud before. And that felt different. Each time I start RBR and only drive slowly over a non-tarmac road it somehow feels real, where Dirt Rally doesn't. The feeling on dry tarmac I like a lot though.
BUT: The game has very nice graphics and is demanding for a mainstream game. I like it.

Funny story: At the weekend I had a girl at my place who didn't know I did sim-racing. When she saw the G27 on my desk (which I hadn't used for a time and therefore she hadn't seen yet) she thought I must be a total nerd. I convinced her to give it a try in dirt rally. She played several stages that evening and the other day again. ;)

Just bought it yesterday. Good fun! ;)
Maybe it's not a hardcore sim, but compared for example to wrc 3 it's very demanding. In WRC everything was a like an expressway...

Does Win 10 use the same serial key as win7 when you upgrade? Is it possible to install Win 7 again using the old key once you upgraded to win 10?

I like your proposal but another option could be to respawn next to the track...?

Sounds good, I might give it a try, too ;)

In the good old days I played CMR 2 and later RBR, too when it came out and didn't like it. Because I couldn't handle it at that time (no wheel, just keyboard), several years later I gave it another try. Great game! But very old fashioned for those times. Since then, there hasn't really been a good rally game. :(
