    I do not think, the business model of iracing is based on an incalculable number of paid modules in addition to the subscription

    I would assume that it would be a combination of both like they dow with Oval and Road: A new license type that has some free tracks and some add on paid tracks. Some base cars and some add on cars for dirt.

    Still don't think it's out (at least not that I've seen). Does anyone know if they've announced a release date?

    I'm almost sure that it will run with the oval category, i would be surprised if they actually create a new one for this.

    They have currently quite a lot of great stuff in the pipeline, so it could take a while.

    The rendering of the dirt in the photo above that you posted in October looks fantastic. I hope they didn't do what Microsoft did with FSX in 2006 though when they claimed that it would look like this if you used dx10. :D

    It turned out this was an artists impression of what it should look like and not an actual screen shot.

    What is ugly, the graphics? The physics? Just saying "ugly" does not qualify or disqualify a game, of course opinions can differ but I form my opinion when I have tested a game and not before. Honestly I would like to know your summary why this game is "ugly". Thank you.

    If I were talking about physics, I would have said that it is not realistic
    But I give my opinion on the graphics of a game that although it is in ALPHA ... is paying !!
    The graphics are so far from what is currently being done
    The behavior of the cars is very well rendered, it is the great strength of the series, but we can not qualify as beautiful these graphics

    ---

    si je parlais de la physique, j'aurais dis que ce n'est pas réaliste
    Mais la je donne mon avis sur les graphisme d'un jeu qui bien qu'il soit en ALPHA ... est payant !!
    les graphismes sont tellements loins de ce qui se fait actuellement
    le comportement des voitures est très bien rendu, c'est la grande force de la série, mais on en peut pas qualifier de beaux ces graphismes

    DIRT..........
    WEDNESDAY MARCH 29th



    A small quote from the release notes
    " Back to dirt. The 5 pieces content going on sale will be the tracks Williams Grove, Eldora and Volusia. All the dirt tracks have day and night lighting. The cars will be a Late Model which will include three versions for the price of one. A Limited, Pro and Super Late Model. The second car for purchase will be a Winged Sprint Car which also will include three different versions in the car package for the price of one including the 305, 360 and 410. Additionally we will be granting free dirt content including a dirt version of USA Speedway, a Dirt Street Stock, and a Dirt Legends Car. Last but not least dirt versions of the Camping World Trucks (Silverado and Tundra). If you already own those vehicles, you will have the dirt package for free. They are not separate dirt vehicles, it is just that when you are on Dirt, you will have the dirt package for example when the NASCAR series goes to Eldora on the schedule.

    We will be putting up 5 series when we release. Three official series and two fun series. The official series will be at the lower license levels with the lower HP Cars to start off at least, for a reason. (The two fun series will the higher HP cars.) We strongly suggest you start with the lower HP cars no matter how experienced you are as a sim racer. Dirt racing is much different than pavement racing. There is much more to it than throwing the car in the corner. To be blunt, it is hard and takes hundreds of laps of practice to get it but it is very fun and rewarding as you progress. I’m not any good at any type of sim racing but I really have struggled not driving dirt like I do pavement. The pedal control overall is a bugger, keeping the pedal down (mostly) through the corners on a short track, the timing of the brakes and steering, the dynamically changing lines and conditions of the dirt is difficult to be proficient never mind master. Even going down the straights you have to concentrate, that car wants to go left big time. It is critical to practice. Watch the Chris Bell video if you get a chance on our YouTube Channel, it is excellent. We will be releasing much more in the coming days and weeks about dirt racing including tips and pointers from experienced real world drivers (and sim racers). Be patient and help each other out like you always do. That is what is great about this community. Most of all, have fun."
