Back in March, Team RMT had posted a first help request regarding their rFactor version of World Super GT. Following the release of the original GTR2 version, the team had started converting their mod over to rFactor but switched focus to working on World Super GT 2 in the meantime.
Since the first help request did not result in the help the team was looking for, RMT is now looking for a converter team that can finish the conversion. The base conversion is almost done except for LODs and some parts. The team has also been working on modelling new wheels for all cars, replacing the ones used in the GTR2 version. These wheels still need to be mapped and textured, RMT could provide assistance with that though. Another remaining task includes tweaking the physics to RealFeel compatibility.
To Do List
More info can be found here, all needed templates and scenes will be provided to to the converter. If you have experience in converting mods from GTR2 to rFactor and want to help rFactor to a stunning GT mod, contact Klaas.
