rF2 Rain Video (Experimental)

[TimCollier]

Following the rainy cockpit previews released a few days ago, Image Space Incorporated has now released the first ever moving footage of rain in rFactor 2!

The short video shows the experimental rain effect in use with an open-wheeler, ISI points out that the effects are still work in progress, especially the droplets. Another preview video showcasing their progress will be able at a later date but for now, enjoy the first ever rain footage of rFactor 2 below.

rFactor 2 will introduce various improvements to the modding-friendly simulation including weather, driver animations and a refined graphics engine. ISI has not announced a definite release date yet, the company is still aiming to release their newest title by the end of 2010 though.

Looks pretty sweet (and scary). What do you mean by "driver animations? Are they going to show the drivers spraying champaign or fighting in the pits?

I didn't notice any ghosting or double-vision (Cool), although a helmet visor will actually shed water at speed.

Despite that, it is quite impressive.

Looks like I may need to switch to a closed cockpit car. Naaa, I'll see if Speedo will come on board as a sponsor.

btw - Based upon the video, is Taki Inoue a test driver for ISI?

Another screenshot of some rain. The article mentions we might get this before the end of the year? I'd be surprised, but happy.

Naaa I think it is Andrea de crasherous.

Naaa I think it is Andrea de crasherous.

That would have been my second guess, but I couldn't tell if the leader was behind him or not.
