Regarding damage model. I think this is very important, because it defines how "careful" you regard drive. Of course knowing how fragile your car is changes your handling and the risk you take on maneuvers and on the track. A fine damage model forces you to decide whether to take the chance and say goodbye to your frontwing flaps or not. Precise collision detection is part of this, one

Off-Topic Just to throw it in the pool. Many universities take part in the
Formula Student, an international racing series where university teams take part by constructing racing cars and taking part in a competition. The cars have to be build within a year on a limited budget and run in various competition on the race weekend. Not only the speed, but also the management, finances, PR etc will be graded.

F1 Remind me never to give you access to my parks.
I don't have a garage, but if I had to list stuff taking up space, I guess I had to refer to som electronic equipment I never got around to get rid of.
I have all my files from school, which take up some shelves.
And I got my secret box of notes, scribbles, ideas and designs I did over the past 10 years.

Grand Prix 4 Do you have any sources for this claim?
I know Philip Morris had some plans back in 2004, to buy all of Ferrari's sponsor space and let them run an empty car, that is still supposed to keep the association with Marlboro. However I never read anything about enacting this plan and obviously the car isn't empty. [1]

F1 I'd go on thin ice here and say, that having no mipmaps wouldn't improve performance either. Think about it this way. You have your model in the distance and the high-res textures are applied to the car only to be discarded in ther rasterizer, due to the low amount of pixels the car actually is rasterized to. This does indeed result in worse results:
1. the rendering algorithm has to

Grand Prix 4 Tex-format is comprised of 4 DDS-Files within. TGA is just a common format for editing and saving textures, ultimately they are compressed to a more hardware-readable format. For every DirectX this is DDS and GP4 uses the DDS-Files within the Tex-texture format.
Another thing, the uncompressed textures mentioned above are heavier on the hard drive and take longer to load, but they are not bigg

Grand Prix 4 I'm convinced ISI has different priorities than modders do. After all, we do a good job on the content, but this is mainly the case we can concentrate solely on content and don't have to be bothered with programming. Plus, we don't have time-constraints. This makes a lot of difference quality-wise, especially for small companies like ISI.
Still, I sometimes have the feeling, they

We don't post alot at the moment, because we are doing alot of work that is not really "visible" and hard to show. We have been for the past couple of months and we are continuing very steadily.

Grand Prix 4 That's the payoff for the big variety rFactor offers. I agree without, that the whole mismatch and mod-update situation is bad is hopefully addressed in rfactor 2. At CTDP we are very carefull to release versions, because we fear every new version just increases the chance of mismatches.
Yes the AI is troublesome and rFactor is much better for multiplayer. But given this focus, the misma

Other Games Personally, I don't care for the whole discussion, this is my stance:
We want close racing and hard fights and this is when collisions happen even among the best drivers…
Personally I have a lot of respect for RBR for letting their drivers race themself and not going for the safe way. I hope they don't change this now.
@#$%& happens, move on…

I always enjoyed my time here and releasing my cars back in 2004. Since then I have worked alot for CTDP, released mods for rFactor, studied in Berlin and worked in North Italy, where on a boring summer weekend I started a little project of mine. I was working on my Mac and couldn't work with textures, because the DirectDrawSurface-format wasn't supported and there

It is copyrighted by nature. Somebody created it, thereby it is copyrighted.
