I got myself a new gamepad. I got a Logitech DualAction controller. It lacks force feedback or rumble features, but I'm okay with it since I don't usually use that sort of thing. Playing rFactor with this thing had me frustrated trying to make left turns (imagine this scenario in a NASCAR oval race). So I turned off the analog and just used the control pad. Actually, you can still use the analog sticks, only you still get to see the steering wheel in in-car views to not be very realistic. I'm not using my Driving Force Pro for my rFactor racing, though I do have a DFP setup in rFactor.

I had a few drives in rFactor tonight just testing out my new controller. Nothing was too special except that I raced a few tracks with the Formula Nippon 2007 mod while falling in love with the engine noise and their unreal speed. Since I've been so fascinated with Dubai lately, I've been envisioning what an update to the Dubai Autodrome would be like if one was planned for rFactor. The controversial FIA GT Championship mod had an add-on that included just about every GTR2 track converted for use in rFactor. Among those courses was Dubai. This was the Dubai in 2004. Today's Dubai course has a downtown view as well as many cranes building up the city. That Dubai Autodrome (or MotorCity) is supposedly part of the Business Park with buildings all around the course. I even recall seeing some kind of city background when I saw that video package of FIA GT racing around Dubai. To add some challenge, I did some testing around Dubai's Grand Prix course setting the time to 7:30 PM and then 10:00 PM in a later session.

To get an idea as to how Dubai looks nowadays, search "Dubai" in the Autosport gallery ( http://www.autosport.com/gallery ). Then, type in "Dubai GT" for a few more pictures. My "Emergence of Racing in the Middle East" thread in the Drifting and Other Motorsports forums showcases a little more on my attraction to the Dubai Autodrome, stating that it is a mix of a permanent road course and a true metropolitan race track. Just be interested if someone decides to recreate the Dubai Autodrome in its current state and make a download available for the Dubai Autodrome including as many track variations as possible.
 
Historic GT and Touring Cars Mod is still in development. here are some old videos. you guys are gonna have heart attacks when this comes out 👍 It's going to require a GT-Legends to play. the physics are much better than gt-legends, though.


 

Epsilon Euskadi released. :) I haven't tried it myself yet

I've been looking at this game more and more as Sports Car GT keeps working worse and worse, and I'm wondering if my computer has the power to play it properly (I would like at least medium settings). Assuming it can, what are the opinions of rFactor?
 
im getting rfactor next week by downloading it from the site.

i hope the reactivation process will be easy to use

edit: nvm. $10 more will get me the disk version of rfactor & race 07 from amazon
 
TBH, if you care alot about online racing, i'd reccomend Live for speed. You can do leagues in rfactor, but there are so many mods and tracks and versions of mods and tracks that sometimes finding a race in rfactor is difficult. LFS is about 10x easier to find decent races in. Leagues are good in both games, but LFS is much better at quick races. Overall lfs is the better racing sim IMHO. if you most play offline, then rfactor is a good choice
 
you can find information on modding in the rfactor section over at rscnet. Carfactory is already released and there's a new utility about to be released by the same people soon.
akina has been out for rfactor for a while now...
 
I know pretty much nothing about modding myself. I'd love to be able to create tracks and such but beyond creating the 3d mesh I have no idea what to do. Even if I did I doubt I'd have the time to make something good, got plenty of ideas if I could though.

Is that Akina track on rfactorcentral.com?
 
that's pretty simple :). you just have to put stuff you download in to the correct folders. Usually the mods come with installation instructions. some even have regular installation steps that simply ask for you to tell it where rfactor is installed.

also, this track is very good, and i think it may be the 1st laser scanned track in rfactor. :D eastern creek!

Piddy gets interviewed about his Laser Scanned Track (eastern creek) for rFactor. I recommend everyone check this track out. it's quite fun to drive :D

Click to expand...

just wondering, what are these guys doing to make sure its a legit copy of GT-legends and not a burned one? a verification code?
 
I wish someone could create a Download with tons of cars, and another one with tons of Tracks. That way I Don't have to do it one by one :(

Any good Track recommendation?

By the way any DTM (early 90s) in making? I know somone DID 2007 DTM
 
It's strange that none of the mods look anywhere as good when your actually playing them.
