Rfactor Central is the best site i've come across

is that in vista or have you installed rfactor in your documents folder?!!

rFactor/UserData/Hepatic@[GP]/Settings/Oulton for example, not necessarily in the C:/ drive

[olly83]

It is in Vista, I don't know how installations on other operating systems differ.

They Work!

OK, I just downloaded a new carset, and now when I open rFactor, the menu music plays but a blank screen displays. What have I done wrong?

[Fish_Flake]

OK, so my last post for some reason didn't update the thread's position on the forum. Any help?

[S.Moss]

which carset is this? Also have you got the FIA GT mod in rfactor, this tends to give an error on menu showroom when you put a new carset in. If you alt+tab when no car appears in the menu, it should go back to windows and show a little box with an error message, if you post it here i'll try helping

[Fish_Flake]

I installed the rF Open Wheel Racing 2007 (IndyCar Series) mod.

[Rockmunky]

I've just bought rFactor.

[chunder]

Have gone off this game now a bit

Most of the people wh tend to play that I have com across are a little too nerdy!!

And often the mods I like noone plays at all!

Most people tend to play F1 mods or Meganes, thats about it!

Champ Car is beautifully done, but again the physics just dont really get it for me, too GTR'y, no slide ruule all the time.

[YZ250]

Mate I think you need to look around a little and broaden your Server Searches, we have regularly 30 + Drivers at each of our Rounds, we run varying Tin Top mods.

Ohhh and were far from Nerdy, what kinda generalisation is that Mannnnnnnn

[Aysedasi]

Actually I like the Meganes..........

[Hepatic]

Actually i despise the Meganes...!

Chunder, what would you like to run? Was in the Skodas with rockmunky last night, was fun to get back in them again but my favourite is still the F1 Classic (67) cars, them slide until i can't grin no more

'67 F1 cars on Rfactor? I haven't seen that mod! Linky please??

It's a very bad conversion (ilegal too!) of GPL to rFactor.

For physics like that, we already have the various Toca Fake Drivers gamies for little kiddies

[Hepatic]

Excuse me? Which version have you tried, 'cos the 1.5 i have is every bit as good as the GPL one its based on, and looks far better thanks to the changes in IT since then. Yeah, it's kinda illegal sort of, the GPL guys said yes to the conversion and update to rfactor but then comms went a little mental and all of a sudden the OK got pulled. Shame as it has the opportunity to bring the GPL fans to a current day mod.

That said, they are freely available at http://autosimsport.netfirms.com/F1_Classic/catalog/

[Gil Abobeleira]

Ever tried GPL?

Ever really tried GPL?

Like going negative at Spa with the Cooper, or sub 8m at the Ring?

Then compare it with the "n" versions of that pile of s***.

And it was pull-out because the guy was not giving a c*** about physics and authenticity. That's a no-go in GPL (and, I'm afraid, that doesn't matter to the arcade racers that literally invaded rFactor )

[chunder]

Hehe, and the above post is the reason why I dont play these games anymore!!

Try racing against these guys and you will see what I mean, pointless really! Might as well just play arcade games!!

[The Shrew]

I only got Rfactor last week and so far i think its a great game. The lads on race connect site have been real helpfull. The site seems really well organised run some great races series. Thats coming from someone who is far from a geek.

Exactly Shrew, jump on our servers whenever you feel listed under Adrenalin Factor

Yes i have thanks, in fact i had GPL a very long time before i had any other games on a PC. Why can't the GPL brigade move on tho? In it's time it was a leap ahead of anything we'd seen before but times change and so does technology.

If slimjim had been given the support and he'd not released a version way before it was ready we'd be applauding it now, but no we just get the pro-GPL camp banging on about how good it was and the rest of us just cursing it's not been moved in to a mordern day platform that it's worthy of.

And if you care to actually spend some time looking for mods in rfactor, rather than just picking what's top of the list in the servers ( like the poxy Meganes) then you'll find there is a world of great mods out there. The PCC997 is fantastic, Aussie V8s too. There is a quality Formula NIppon there as well as a Truck mod that sadly doesn't get the time online it deserves.

And if you pick the right mod, you'll get the right kind of players online too. Pick an arcade mod and you'll get the arcade drivers. Thats why GPL was such a high quality online - its so flipping hard to drive the arcadey lot stayed away!

I love GPL, but times move on sir. Maybe you should too

[Gil Abobeleira]

Obviously you don't know me.

Firstly, I didn't speak about other mods (even though, to tell you the truth, I loathe those megane thingies, way harder to drive than GPL LOLOL).

Actually, I've been driving a lot in rFactor (I'm just not in the mood for GPL, as the leagues were I used to drive oblige me to spent too much time with it, and being an auditor and fiscal consultant, I don't have enough time for driving a different car in GPL every fortnight or so).

Mods?
- GP79 (love it!!!!!)
- HistoriX
- Spirit of 76

Any of these is way better than that crap made by that f***-up (he f****-up as well with his other mods, he just not cares about getting the right permission and stuff).

GPL is really long in the tooth, even sooooo, there are some tracks that are missing in rFactor (solitude and clermont 67 are high on my list, as well as the "new" authentic Isle of Man and the Little Madonie!!!!!).

The new kid in the block? iRacing (I suck there way higher than in GPL or GP79.........arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

[Hepatic]

Not sure about solitude but i'm sure i have clermont 67 somewhere, i'll have a look tonight. i'm not saying the F1 "Classic" is perfect, but the way it's gone i fear we'll never see it in rfactor which is a massive shame. F1 79 is a blast if you can find the right server and the Historix is just unreal. I loved GTL but hated the way it played online, so by mixing a better platform with those models we have one hell of fun time

Nowt like drifting a Mustang round Brands or a Cortina at Nurburgring...

[Woolley]

Got Rfactor some time ago, but I haven't yet spent much time on it, or taken the plunge of adding mods, circuits, cars, etc. That side of things is all a bit new to me, but there's a bunch of circuits I'd really like to have a go at. I shall have to go searching soon for instructions and places to get the downloads from. All help and advice will be much appreciated!

[Rockmunky]

Well if you ever need some pointers, gimme a shout. It's simple once you've done it a few times.

You'll have to come and and have a look at Race-Connect H, we are running the Historix GT's and TC's on Sunday nights starting Sept 7th the GT race on the GP circuit and the TC on the Indy at Brands. All other rounds will comprise of long and short versions of the circuit choice each fortnight. We also run CDTP F1 2005, Meganes and a series comprising lesser known mods on British tracks. We also use GTR2 and Race07 and have series planned for the eventual release of GTR Evo
