AUS-Modders have postponed the planned release of their Bathurst Legends mod for rFactor for one week to fix a late glitch. The team has posted the following statement at RSC:
“Sorry guys, you have my deepest apology for the delay on this mod. Believe me I did everything in my power to get this mod released on time after finding out we had a issue, but alas time and energy has failed me.
Therefore we have delayed it for a week to give us time to sort out the minor glitch. “

Jessica, Darin & Shaun of InsideSimRacing.tv were recently joined by Image Space Incorporated's Gjon Camaj who visited the guys for an interview in an upcoming SRT episode. ISI's head-honcho did not come empty-handed though as Camaj showed off rFactor 2's user interface for the very first time. Below are six screenshots of the interface, showing off what looks like a major improvement over rFactor's much criticised UI-system. Furthermore, Camaj confirmed that ISI is still aiming for a 2010 release of their much-anticipated simulation, more on rFactor 2 will be coming up in the next episode of SRT.

About a year ago, Team NLC announced a sucessor to their popular VLN 2005 mod for rFactor, planning to bring the 2009 season of Germany's popular racing series to the simulation. For almost twelve months, the team has been quietly working in full force on their massive project and is now able to present us with a very big batch of renders to show off their progress. The renders show twelve different car models sporting various liveries. While some models like the Renault Clio or the Mini Cooper S have been converted, others have been equipped with new parts such as the ...

Virtua_LM has released new previews of another stunning track creation for rFactor, showing us new shots of the Japanese Fuji Speedway in late 80s specification. Located near the famous Mount Fuji in Oyama, Japan, Fuji Speedway was opened in 1963. The track was a popular venue for sports car races as the track was part of the FIA World Sports Car Championship for Group C prototypes from 1982 to 1988. Even though the track was slowed down with two chicanes during the 80s, speeds on the track remained very high thanks to the 1.5 kilometer main straght - The longest in motorsports. [nggallery ...
Alless has released his Audi R15 TDI for GTR2, adding Audi's current Le Mans Prototype challenger to the simulation. Introduced in 2009, the R15 is Audi’s second Diesel prototype for the Le Mans 24 Hours. The V10-powered car won its debut outing at the Sebring 12 Hours but failed to match the speed of the Peugeot 908 at Le Mans, making it Audi’s first LMP since the R8 that has not won the 24 hour classic at its first attempt. The R15 features several revolutionary aerodynamic elements, some of which caused a big controversy in the sports car world as competitors Peugeot ...

exactly why no modder should ever give any type of release date.

The only reason modders shouldn’t give release dates is because of all the whining, spoilt kids who expect this free stuff exactly on that date as if its owed to them.
Theres is absolutely nothing wrong with release dates. At least it stops all the ‘when, when when ?’ comments from the above-mentioned whining spoilt kids.
If a date isn’t met for whatever reason, no matter how valid, the biggest problem is that certain people have no understanding or room for latitude in their minds to let it be.
I mean how awful are people being who berate modders who don’t release on a date they thought they were going to.
You can be sure that the modder wanted it out on that date and if its not, all hell breaks loose.
The same thing is happening on rfc with the FSOne track pack.
People just whinging and moaning like they have some entitlement to it. Makes me sick.
Wait the week, accept their apology and deal with it like a mature adult.

Easy does it.

That was easy. Its just that over the last couple of days Ive read so many posts from people whinging over modders release dates if they dont happen on time.
One minute people are screaming “When!!?” when theres no date, and when there is one and its missed by a small margin, people go ballistic. I just dont understand that attitude. Again it has to be repeated that modders do this in their own time for free and owe the public nothing. Quite the opposite in fact. Its the public that owe the modders – respect, thanks and a little bit of tolerance.

If i was a modder, i’d seriously think about not even telling the public about my mod until it was ready for release

Each to their own I guess. On the opposite side there’s also so many previews these days that there’s no surprises any more either.
I reckon the ideal is something in between. Keep something back and no specific dates.

Oh no! What a sad day. Well at least Heikki won today in F1.

Kudos to the modders. I’d rather have them admit there’s a flaw and take the time needed to fix it BEFORE release than just toss it to the public, creating the need for endless patches and fixes caught in public release that should have been detected and fixed in beta playtesting.

Paul, thats exactly what I think.
Modders do this great work for free in their own time and whilst it can be a little frustrating waiting for the next big mod to come out because we all want to have a go. But until it does there are plenty of others to keep us all amused.. and if that fails… theres always that “outside” things people go on about

Yes, I have heard about these outside things, but its just a myth.

lol stabiz. I’ve heard tell of such things as ‘books’, ‘culture’ and ’socialising’. Personally I think they are just old wives tales. Outside is a place where you go to buy food and earn some money to pay for our addiction.
But yeah, until these new mods come along, I’m quite content to drive HistorX (which I dont think well wear off for a looong time), FSOne07 and a few others.
Failing that if I dont want to drive I have a mid life Crysis, or FSX.
Waiting for the new mods is aching enough, but hanging on for Spore, Far Cry II the new Splinter Cell and ‘24′ Season 7 is too much :) Life seems to be just waiting and waiting then you die :)
And while I’m off topic, I want to add a lovely quote from the bald Manc tw*t himself Karl Pilkington (google him and listen to the XFM podcasts :D)…”Money is just something you have in case you don’t die tomorrow”. Genius.
