In real life you have no such luxery!

Yeh, but what do you hit to stop your engine exploding when you over-rev by accident or are king hit up the arse by your modem opponent - ALT b is a bit inconvenient when your engine is dead

In many forms of motorsports you do have that luxury. I don't know about Indycars but they can use them in NASCAR.

: In many forms of motorsports you do have that luxury. I don't know about : Indycars but they can use them in NASCAR. Um, please watch the race at Mid-Ohio. You can CLEARLY hear the cars on the limiter in turns 7, 8 & 9. You know, the rev limiter that PREVENTS you from blowing your motor from over-revving. It's NOT in the game.

a rev limiter is somthing that goes in your car so that it keeps you under a certin RPM no matter hoe far you put the gas to the floor. It woulden't help though if your were going 220 mph and shifted into 1st!

It > woulden't help though if your were going 220 mph and shifted into 1st! WHOA!! I thought he meant for the pits since thats when the rev limiter is mostly used. If he or you need a rev limiter for the race something is wrong with your driving ;)

Let's see... You're near redline at full throttle, your opponent hits you from behind hard enough to push you "into the red" and your engine blows. Did I get that right? If so, I don't think an engine limiter is the cure.... Maybe a new modem opponent :) Having an engine limiter to keep you from over-revving your engine is a little like turning on "automatic shifting", isn't it? I think it detracts from the realism. Part of the thrill of manual shifting is getting the most out of your engine without blowing it up. IMHO Mike

: Having an engine limiter to keep you from over-revving your engine is a : little like turning on "automatic shifting", isn't it? I think it : detracts from the realism. Um, when will you people understand. REAL IndyCars HAVE rev limiters. In REAL life for REAL. They DO prevent a motor from blowing from over-revving for REAL. We are not asking for a cheat, we are asking for a REAL limiter. Hey, even some passenger cars have REAL rev limiters. For REAL. Get the point. REALLY! And you have the balls to call this GAME a SIM! REALLY. Here is the beef. The SOUNDS of the engine do not always match to the revs all of the time. That is 13000 does not ALWAYS sound the same from shift to shift. Therefore, if you are like me and shifting by SOUND (so you can watch the ROAD), you will find that you will be venting more motors than you wish. It's a REAL item in REAL life. REALLY.

Thats weird cause I shift by sound and NEVER blow motors, Why do you need a REV limiter in ICR2? Unless you have no control you shouldnt need one in the least, I guess this seperates the men from the boys ;) Nothing personal I just cant see why you need it

I don't know about "detracts from the realism", I don't know for sure but I'd be very surprised if Indy rules didn't allow rev-limiters (and cars have them fitted). What's the point of forcing people to risk extremely expensive engines for the sake of a relatively cheap limiter? A rev-limiter is MORE realistic. Cheers!

Nice to see a sensible opinion - onya John!! Scott

<snip> Since it's only a GAME and not a SIM, why are you so upset that it does not have everything that REAL life has? It's only a GAME, really.

EDIT...... REAL ly, Hey Doug, you REALLY need to lighten up !!! (joke ya all) BTW I think you will find almost ALL modern (post '90) cars have rev limiters, I agree with you 100% it would be nice to have a rev limiter but not to the extent of GP2 where you can go from 6th to 1st and hear the V10 revving its balls out but she won't blow, now THAT is un realistic.
