In the quest to find the best in Sim Racing, one user has ignited a spirited discussion, ardently dissecting their experiences with popular racing platforms in the pursuit of perfection. Leading the conversation are two prominent contenders, rf2 and am2.
Summary
- The original poster (OP) has recently adopted Sim Racing, having sampled four platforms (acc, ac, iracing, and raceroom), each presenting certain strengths and weaknesses.
- Despite being impressed with iracing’s realistic feel and ranked online play, the OP deems it too costly, sparking curiosity about rf2 and am2.
- Trailing this, users jostle with opinions on various aspects of the games, from physics to AI, community to modding potential.
Perceptions on Physics and AI
A sweeping sentiment expressed by Racer013, is the enriching, albeit imperfect, multiplayer experience within iracing, leaving AC hailed as the modding flexible sovereign with lacking cooperative play. The user touts rF2’s real-like physics however, tags multiplayer as inconsistent. Contrarily, they commend AMS2’s AI racing, despite finding the driving lackluster.
Popularity and User Base
Notably, one user referred to as quetiapine_fumarate points towards AC’s burgeoning influence in online ranked play via Low Fuel Motorsport as an alternative to iRacing. Whereas, n0ghtix runs with ACC for its vibrant player base that enables finding competitive events at any time. He perceives windows of opportunity in rFactor and AMS2, although recognizes their small user bases.
Single Player Experience and DLC
Djimi365‘s account of the AMS2 single player experience resonates positively, throwing light on aspects of weather, day/night cycles, track evolution, albeit acknowledging the online component isn’t stellar. Coupled with reasonably priced DLC and growing mod options, AMS2 seems to have advantages. rF2, on the other hand, appears a bit dated and clunky but still holds some charm.
So here you have it folks, a classic case of ‘different strokes for different folks’. A user’s perfect sim racing platform depends on their individual priorities, be it multiplayer, modding, single-player or overall gameplay experience. And who knows, maybe the perfect sim racer is yet to pull up to the starting line. Drive safe!
