rFactor

[RaidoGT]

BlackDog, I've been running rFactor on a Mac as well. Runs ok as long as it's a 2 GHz Core 2 Duo and 9400M video at least.

I've been using CrossOver Games 8 to run it though, so that I ran run rF directly in Mac OS X and don't have to boot into Windows thru Boot Camp all the time. Works ok if run in DX8 and with not too many opponents.

As for mods, I'd say if you have a wheel then the sky's the limit, the Japanese F3 Mod is highly rated, as are the Caterham, Civic 4G and Historic GT (HistoriX) mods.

My personal favorite, though, is vintage Formula Vee. Has gotten good ratings all over, doesn't necessarily need a wheel (thumbsticks on a gamepad will do) and is likely to be the most fun you could EVER have with just 65 BHP. 👍

Yeah, my white MacBook is 2.1 GHz and has the 9400M. I don't have CrossOver, so I'll have to check it out. Does it help the performance in any way? Because you said you can run rFactor in DX8, but when I'm booted in Windows XP, I can't run in any higher than DX7 even with the settings low. The game will crash. I do have the desire to upgrade my 2GB of RAM to 4GB, but I just don't have the money right now, so I'll have to make do until then.

Thanks for the mod recommendations! I have a wheel, but I'll be sure to check all of them out for I am quite open. I'm just happy to have a game that's very mod-accessible, let alone a proper racing simulator 👍

My hot lap of the 2010 layout of Bahrain.

2nd on the grid. The laps are done offline because the server was glitchy, we coordinated everything over teamspeak.

Trans Tasman Racing Enduro Driver Needed!​

Is this your opportunity to drive in a top car, with top drivers?

To drive with Trans Tasman Racing in the Adrenalin Factor V8 supercar series first of all you must have had some sort of rfactor experience. Second of all, you must be willing to take the event seriously.

The driver pairings are still not confirmed, but this is how it stands so far:

#66 - Mad94d/PAPAOSA
#77 - Supersonic88/TBA(Is this you!?)

The car you will be driving is the #77 Gran Turismo Commodore which has been on the top step of the podium 9 times this season, it is proven race winner!

I will then give you instructions on how to properly get involved at Adrenalin Factor and the race itself.

Thank you,
TT-R Management

 

[Mad94d]

Excuse the double post, here is a new mod that I am helping BETA test that is coming out soon. 👍

Preview by DmXtreme, he is an awesome video editor in my opinion. 👍

 

[waggles]

Can I have a go? It looks awesome.

I know it's a beta preview, but...

This saturday night (or sunday-whichever is more popular), I'm going to host an F1RFT server. Who wants to join?

 

[Mad94d]

Ah no you can't. But I can tell you that it's nearly released. Osier (guy making the mod) claims it's about 95% done. Race Factor (Australian League) is going to run a league when it's done. I'll be racing with TT-R and VisionRacer cars. In the BETA mod Osier skinned me a Gran Turismo/Polyphony Digital car. Not sure if you saw that black and silver one in the video, but it's mine.

About the server, going to have to be Saturday night. Although I am doing a 125 lap race on sunday night with Adrenalin Factor as I posted up above. So Will be doing that sunday. 👍 But yeah I am keen, F1RFT is the 2009 mod isn't it?

 

[kayman]

ahh yeah, dmx put up this vid over at xgn. Looking good. Cant wait.

Oh yeah. Get all the crap at worldf1racers.com. Don't download anything that says 2010.

If you guys run a league with it, I'd love to join it-I love slow formulas.

 

[Mad94d]

Yeah, no worries will do. Although I may be doing something else at on saturday night now, but i'll try and get a few runs with ya. XGN is running a 45 lapper at Bathurst in the Bathurst legends mod, might do that.

The F4000 mod is not slow either, I managed a 58.3 at Oran Park Lidar with it which isn't exactly mucking around. But it will provide great racing that's for sure. I'll post league details here when the mod is released.

Well, that's interesting because I've got a MPB 2.4 Duo on Leopard 10.5.8 with 9400 M and 9400 M GT and CrossOver 8.0, and it runs LFS quite okay, but I couldn't get rFactor to work so far. Not at all.

I was using this guide here: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd7rg77m_23fnc8k6gs

Got any suggestions? How do you get it to work?

 

[Mad94d]

Hey Waggles, downloading the F1RFT 2009 patch and the 2009 track pack overnight. Do I need the 2010 track pack for saturday night?

 

[waggles]

No-but bring more people.

 

[Mad94d]

No-but bring more people.

Ok, i'll do my best. Not sure if anyone else will show up but I know of two guys who may be interested from GTP.

EDIT:
Video of me "practicing" with an aussie league racing friend by the name of Corey.


And the most recent Round video for Adrenalin Factor made by myself. (new one will be up tomorrow by PAPAOSA).

Congrats on the Race 2 win there Mad One. So where does this put you in the Drivers standings?

I was by the Adrenalin Factor website not too long ago and I see you have amongst the participants someone from Minnesota. Guess you have to get up really early in the morning in the States to race in the series, huh? Do the races get streamed live over the Internet if anyone wants to have a look in at what you guys do?

 

[Mad94d]

Thanks mate, I've managed to win about 10 races this season I think. My Championship is gone though, I've missed too many races so the Red bull designed livery will win (Sandman) for the 4th season straight. I'm 7th in the points by the way. Next season i'll be going for the championship.

Yeah, we have a few americans. Well a driver by the name of J-Holley is from Canada and Dave Millard from America.

They used to be streamed live, but not anymore unfortunately. All we have to offer is the round videos. Speaking of which, here is the latest Round Video - Round 10 Phillip Island. It was a 70 lap enduro which was won by myself by 37 seconds.

 

[waggles]

I can't do it tonight. I have the flu, and my attention span has dropped too far.

My head is nodding as I post this.

 

[Mad94d]

Ok no worries mate. Next week maybe?

 

[waggles]

Maybe-see how I'm feeling.

 

[Mad94d]

Maybe-see how I'm feeling.

Ok, no problem. I got it all downloaded by the way. So i'm good to go. 👍

 

[waggles]

If you want to race, try the public servers-they're good fun, if you stay up front. Go to the back, and you get the punters.

 

[Cultlife]

I've been trying out F1RFT 2009, but can't for the life of me find any setups online. Anyone seen any?

It's great that people share them in-game though, fantastic community on some of the public servers.

 

[waggles]

I have a couple, but they only really work for my driving style.

I'll make a private server soon and share them round.

 

[Voltaic]

Aight...

I got sick of waiting for GT5, I'm all set up with rFactor. Anyone have any races/series organized?

This game, depending on the car/track you run, is awesome!

Cheers

 

[Mad94d]

I run in many race series', but all are Australian Leagues and not here. I race FVR V8 Supercars, Touring Car Legends, V8 Factor and HistoriX mostly on Australian tracks. Those types of things interest me. You may also want to check out some F1 mods, CTDP, MMG, FSONE, F1RFT are all great mods.

 

[Voltaic]

Thank you for the info. I have been doing the FABCAR challenge and love it. I have also been enjoying the Gallardo challenge.

are there no organized races within GT Planet?

 

[Mad94d]

Not that I know of, Waggles has tried a few times but we've been unsuccessful. I know that a lot of people, including myself, race outside of GTPlanet which is the reason it hasn't really worked well here.

 

[Voltaic]

Well, I'll race'ya! Hehe.

How do we, or can we race each other?

I am a n00b at rFactor

You kind of have to organise it like you do for GT5 Prologue. Saying that, there is heaps of servers to go on when ever you like, this can be confusing at first, but if you want info on what is on the server or how to join a server, quite often they have their site name in the server name. You can go and visit their site for info. I go on ADRENALINFACTOR.COM #1 (goes to #5) servers because that's where I race. But there is a few public ones out there.

Or, if you have a good internet connection, you can set up your own server from your own internet.

But basically, you need to organise a time, a server and a mod to race each other. I have a Ventrilo server (voice chat, you need a PC headset) for my team. If you have a headset that helps a lot too. 👍

 

[waggles]

Again, probably this weekend, we might do an RFT server.

Just need to make sure everyone can get there.

Voltaic, you'll probably get some monster lag as you're American, but what the hell.
