So it looks like iRacing graphically, which isn't very good due to how old it is(trying its best, though), it has below Assetto Corsa's ffb standards(a very low bar), what place in the market does this have? If it gets mod support, it has to come back up against AC and even rFactor 2, neither of which it can beat in feel or graphical fidelity. Where does it leave Pista? It's not a looker, it's not a handler, it's got nothing older sims don't do better. Who is this for?
As of right now, I guess its main selling point is the unique content, though I'm not sure how much interest they'll be able to generate by just focusing on Argentine racing series. In a way, it reminds me of several Brazilian series from AMS/AMS2, though those sims do also have a lot of more common content (e.g. GT3 and F1 style cars, and well-known tracks), and have better graphics (in case of AMS2 at least). Graphics are definitely Pista's biggest letdown for now. I'm gonna keep an eye on how it evolves over the next few updates though. It definitely does need a bunch of upgrades to be competitive on the sim market.
@@virtualpaddock The thing is, all those cars are available for AC as mods. AC is huge in those parts because it's almost constantly on sale for like 2 bucks at best, so naturally modders of those countries have made those cars for the cheapest sim that you can still pretty up with CSP. It might not be fair on bone stock PISTA to compare it to modded AC, but that's the sphere of influence it's moving into.
