Hello everyone.
I've recently tried out rFactor and more particularly the F1 mods that are available for it which I think are great; given the drought of anything on console or PC that even comes close to being an F1 "sim".
My question is.... what is considered to be the "definitive" F1 mod if such a thing exists?
I've given FSONE09, CTDP05/06, and RST09 a spin. I've also got WCP09 but haven't tried it yet. I'd love to hear what people think is the "better" mod and why, and also the relative activity online for these respective mods.
Physics aside I've found the biggest problem is acquiring high quality F1 tracks to race these cars on. Through much searching I managed to find a pack of RST tracks, although this was explicitly labeled as not being their own work as such, I assume these are the commonly accepted "standard" versions of tracks raced in whatever league uses RFT.
This has become a very convoluted post, but I'd basically like to ask, Why was it so difficult for me to find a download link for RFT09? and what are the rest of you guys playing for your F1 fix?

Hi! I've been living under a rock and just found out about rFactor. Bought it last week and having a lot of fun with it 
I can't believe I missed this game. One thing I want to ask though, what is your settings for G27 wheel? Maybe it's just me but are a lot of cars under steer??? I downloaded the Gallardo mod and it took a lot of effort to take Tun 1 at Bahrain.

I heard some things about the pit stops for the F1 mods in GTR2 taking as along as the FIA GT teams in GTR2. Is this true?Just picked this up for all of the F1 mods; so far I've gotten FSOne 2009, WCP 1997, and MMG 2007. They're all freakin' awesome, blows almost all of the F1 mods I have for GTR2 clear out of the water.
From TT-R's Home Round, I assume.

Yes and no; more often then not - no.
You can disable refueling, and you can go in to just change the tires and be out lickety-split (assuming there's no physical or mechanical damage) same goes for if you leave refueling enabled...as long as you don't crash into something hard enough...you'll be out of the pits in no time. I have, however, run across a glitch that when you go into the pit, none of the crew will do anything at all...which wastes your time, and is even worse if you're in a condition that needs the help of the pit crew.
That's only happened to me about three or four times out of the three years I've had it, so, that's not even a problem.
Here's a recent vid of me getting used to everything, and my god are the visuals eye-popping...even for DX9; practically everything looks better in rFactor when compared to GTR2.

Because RFT09 has been replaced by FSONE09.
In terms of presentation, quality, and what's given, CTDP06 hands down takes the cake. It has a different model and skin for each race of every car, as well as a brilliant default setup for each track run in the 06 season.
Terronium, have you considered the TVSTYLE mod? It's brilliant.

I have it installed, found out about it when I was installing the CTDP 2006 mod, and it is brilliant. 👍
EDIT: I've just installed the CTDP 2005 mod, and it won't let me drive any of the cars because I don't have enough experience points: anything I can modify to increase my EXP, or will I have to do that manually?

Go to an offline test session using the car that the mod starts you off with, and type ISI_BABYFACTORY into the chat window
Strittan: as far as I'm aware rFactor doesn't have an in-game option to adjust the maximum rotation of your wheel, so you'll need to do it in the firmware
Speaking of wheels & rFactor, I can't get a good setup for my G27 in rFactor. Live For Speed is fine, Race07 is relatively fine, but rFactor is just terrible. In 900 mode I was having to turn the wheel over 120 degrees(!) just to make it around the turns at Indianapolis in the 09 Indycars, and that was after I set the car's steering angle to its maximum
Setting the wheel to run in 720 mode for rFactor in the Logitech profiler helped a little bit, but I was still having to turn the wheel past 90 degrees... it's as though the steering in rFactor is reaaaaaaaally slooooooooooooow. In LFS I can leave the wheel in 900 mode no problems, and I only have to use a lot of steering angle to make it around very tight hairpins. waggles?

You may have to elaborate on that, because you don't own any of the cars from the get-go. However, it did work for the Server Edition...gave me a wealth of credits.
I should mention that if it does something other then giving me more credits then I could ever hope to spend...it's only applicable to the SE version of the mod.

The public edition of CTDP05 starts you off with a choice between the Minardis of Albers and Friesacher, if one of them isn't already showing in the spinner, you'll need to go and buy it manually (should cost 2,500,000 credits; you start out with 3,000,000) - then you'll be able to do an offline test session to unlock everything.You may have to elaborate on that, because you don't own any of the cars from the get-go. However, it did work for the Server Edition...gave me a wealth of credits.
And yeah, it gives you like 1.7 billion credits, but more importantly it unlocks every car (ie it gives you infinite experience).
Strittan: open rFactor/UserData/Controller/<controller mapping name>.ini and look for this line in the first section: (you can override this for individual profiles - as opposed to globally for all profiles using that particular controller mapping - by editing Controller.ini in UserData/<profile name>/)
Code:
Steering Wheel Range="360" // Degrees of rotation of in-game steering wheel- 28,332

My previous experience with CTDP 05 was that the rear had zero grip.
Also, I will be in the worldf1racers.com fsone server tonight, and will distribute setups for the tracks that I have setups for.
You will need the MP version of FSONE2009, and the RFT trackpack, located here:

Aaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrgggghhhhh I still can't get the FFB right (or steering for that matter) in rFactor. Either I can have no FFB whatsoever, which means I can literally spin the wheel through my fingers, or the FFB has such a large deadzone that for at least 40% of the wheel's rotation there's no resistance, then the FFB comes on in one huuuuuuuuge lump, and doesn't reset until the wheel's back straight. But that's easier said than done, as the FFB will force the wheel past centered to max lock in the opposite direction... 
I have RealFeel "installed", but not configured; is that likely to be the problem?

I shall try that once I get on mood. But I mostly meant in terms of mods and such.

Well, the primary reason I have it is because of all of the awesome F1 mods, however, I can recommend the following....
EnduRacers, ver. 1.20
M1 Procar 1979-1980
Panoz Esperante GTR-1
MMG F1 2007
FSONE 2009
That'll definitely get you started in the right direction.

Sorry, but must be blind again. Can't find it.Strittan: open rFactor/UserData/Controller/<controller mapping name>.ini and look for this line in the first section: (you can override this for individual profiles - as opposed to globally for all profiles using that particular controller mapping - by editing Controller.ini in UserData/<profile name>/)
By default I think it's 200 degrees; change the value to whatever you have your wheel set to and it'll match up like a dreamCode:Steering Wheel Range="360" // Degrees of rotation of in-game steering wheel
Here's a copy of the .ini file so if anyone can find it and show me where to change it, I'd be glad.
Thanks in advance.

Do you use a wheel? If so, it probably won't be there.
In my file, it's here:
Alternate Rearlook Activation="1" // if left look and right look are both pressed, rearlook becomes activated
Steering Wheel Range="360" // Degrees of rotation of in-game steering wheel
Minimum Controller Buttons="2" // Increase if not enough buttons are being accepted (meaning we need to override a driver bug)

Changed it but nothing happened. Guess it's because I'm not using the G25.Make a copy of G25.ini and then try and change it
Anyway.. more issues. Just installed the AE86 CLUB mod, and I absolutely love it. However, there are no reflections on the bodies. The windows and rims have reflections but not the body. Anyone know how this could be fixed?
Also wonder if anyone know how to setup the "realfeel" physics for the mod?
Thanks.
EDIT: Nevermind about the reflections. Just had to set the graphics higher.
