My first article about the 2021 Italian GP. The second one will focus on the MotoGP race. The first one is for Jason.

Sorry that I'm late to the party. My life is more Miller and Maverick than Quartararo at the moment.

Enjoy.

Got it from Steam, yeah... lots of basic things still missing, like a clutch! Lots of gfx bugs/glitches, sound issues and a host of other problems. This is NOT a 1.XXX... release if you ask me. Alpha, perhaps a very early beta would be a better description.

Physics feel very arcady and rudimentary. 

My main issues (without going into the motorcycle physics):
* Can't resize/turn off any hud elements (they are huge and obstruct your view when trying to look ahead through corners).
* The camera view options are mostly just weird. And they reset if you go into photo mode or back to the pits menu, so I'll have to cycle through them again to get to the FPV I use.
* Camera views are not adjustable.
* Sound... it's as loud when you ride the bike as it is when you crash and the bike gets further away from you.
* No clutch...
* No Edtracker or IR track support (as far as I can tell).
* Loads of GFX glitches, helmet parts popping up and disappearing depending on the riders view position, the other bike's (your on-track track-day buddy/ghost) middle section disappears, rider floats in the air when standing up after a crash and so on.
* GFX are not good, has this mobile game feeling to it (lack of shadows might be the main cause of that?).
* No weather choices.
* Limited nr of tracks/bikes (they are saying more will come in future upgrades).

I'm not gonna bother refunding, the game didn't cost that much and I collect bike games anyway (think I have all of them, even the most obscure ones), but to say that there is room for improvement is an understatement.

Nice Davide. Did you do the presentation in GPB or some 3d program?

@Piboso
Hi.
I get "503 Service Unavailable" message when trying to access mx-bikes.com. I get "This site can't be reached" when trying to get directly to forum page. Is it down for maintenance or is their some other issue?

The race bodies are the real thing for real racing and bloody expensive. I get from MotoForza and PascalPlast in EU, the seats come with and the black Yam comes with fitted Dzus fasteners. Screens are original double bubble and expensive too. You can get all parts seperate or in kits, normal fibreglasse, black or carbon too.............

The Simagic M10 Direct Drive I will be using goes on the steering axis as in real life and strong enough to break your bloody arm, I know I tested it lol.

Thanks for the info.

Cheers.

Looks awesome DD. Quick question, where do you get the fairings from (the front/tank and rear). I'm guessing they are to big to be 3d printed at home. Is the seat padding from an external supplier or?
