And tires, beam NG tire simulation is not the best out the but is far superior to ror

With the addition of multilayer trough mods it also filled the last feature gap

My only gripe is that devs have a scant idea of how control input should work for games, and recently introduced a steer limiting system that is all around bad and broke the two previously working mods that did it great, including mine, so racing is now bad again unless you have a steering wheel

Who has the best tire simulation? iRacing ?

it's a moving target, but iracing v7 model is one of the best, for the cars that have been ported to the v7 model.

RFactor 2 does degradation best tho. so there's that.

I work in the industry and always thought iRacing model was the most detailed but wanted to know if someone knew a better model.

It's a shame they don't license their models for engineering customers (like rFactor does), since it's a single made-up parameter set tuned to make things feel "real".
