After countless months of modeling, texturing and creating, the members of CTDP are now facing the most daunting tasks of them all – testing and bugfixing.
What sounds like an easy thing to do is a little more complicated with a project like their Formula One 2006 mod for rFactor. The mod includes all carshapes and liveries of every single race of the 2006 season, a huge amount of combinations that have to be tested. The team is making good progress though, fixing 10 bugs in the past two days.
Furthermore, the team is now working on other details such as the mod’s manual or a new cubemap which will be used on all cars except the Mclaren. The cubemap is based on 6e66o’s release, first previews of the cars sporting the new reflections can be found below.

Im probably not super excited for this mod, as there is already alot of modern f1 mods… but the detail looks great.

When this mod comes out in 2009 or 2010 it will get the same reaction..it would of been good 2 years ago.

hypertek, have you tried CTDP F1 2005 mod ? If you haven’t, try it. It has nothing to be compared with MMG, RFT and any other recent mod. The driving is simply awesome, the graphics are good, the reaction of the car is the most real I have seen yet. I compared some brakings with tv ones, these are the most real reactions on suspensions and tyres I’ve seen yet.
Believe me, try CTDP 2005 and you will be anxious for this 2006 mod.
And Dave, this mod is almost done. Anytime now will be out. Just testing and correcting final bugs.
I can’t wait for this mod.

It doesnt really matters for Renault F1 Team(Benetton)fans, like me! Luis, U arnt right. MMG(RH – which was started more earlier than CTDP)is quality team like CTDP!
By the way, I want CTDP F1 2004 on rFactor, please! Do U hear me!

Make a 2004 mod yourself then Mitos, if you *want* it so badly :razz:

Nop… MMG is a good team, but not CTDP quality. This Physics are for people who are learning, are medium physics, obvious not really compatible with RealFeel and other good stuff.
They start mods without finishing others. They are making at least 5 or 6 mods. And believe me, only 1 or 2 will see day light. The F1 MMG 2007 Mod is a good mod, but not as close as CTDP 2005.
And the front guy at MMG is so damn stupid… always complaining and offending people. He’s really annoying. FSOne (which have a very good 2007 F1 mod, FSOne 2007 – try it) team takes time, but at least don’t talk too much…

Actually, I think it’s the opposite, FSONE is nice but it’s much easier to drive than MMG07, I also think that MMG07 looks much better than FSONE. Then again, it’s all personal preferences

Does anybody know something about this? Why will all the cars except McLaren have the new cubemap?
Mitos
November 12th, 2008 at 13:01
Yep, Luis. I spoke about MMG problem – they are announced mods without finishing previous. More that, they are going to do same years, like CTDP. They spend their(& our) time on rubbish. We dont need MMG F1 2007 ver.2.0, we need MMG F1 2008 ver. 1.0.

No Mitos, you want 2008, I want a full content season mod which has quality, not something like RFT2008

I’m not a MMG fanboi, but you do talk out of your ass alot Mitos.
@Luis – The reason the Mclaren isn’t using the new cubemap is that our old previous cubemap gave a much better effect. The new one made the car quite diffused, when it wasn’t in the ’sun’ lights projected path.

Thanks for the explanation :smile:
I have to agree with Dillyracer. If having a 2008 mod is having F1 RFT 2008, then it’s better to wait…
Don’t you prefer to pay a little bit more for a TV, if it’s really good? Then why some people don’t like to wait for a much better mod? Why does it have to be the latest stuff, but it will surely be worse? Patience is a virtue :mrgreen:

Some people don’t realise that the 2009 cars are going to be much much closer to the Monza specifications of modern era than any other version. And with CTDP providing the better quality + providing the Monza specifcation then its a good balance. Won’t be entirely accurate to 2009 Specifications but will be alot closer to it than other variants for a while.

Mitos, so what if we announce mods? We announce them with the full hopes of delivering. We can’t help if things go wrong. We’re not a major company with millions of dollars of funding to be able to pay all our workers so they don’t quit.
You know, CTDP have spent the last two years working their ass off for this mod. They’ve put work into this mod that we at MMG haven’t put in on ours, and throughout the years of their developing people like you who bitch and complain about how long it takes is what ruins the motivation of mod groups. Instead of saying thank you CTDP for dedicating 2 years of your lives to create something special, regardless if its 2006 or 1956 mod, you sit here and criticise the year of the mod or the length of time it took. Jesus christ, you’d think that you paid them to make this mod or something the way you complain. This goes for the rest of you complainers too. What do you think mod groups owe you? They don’t even have to release the mods to you.
It may seem a bit wierd seeing me defend CTDP, but before I began MMG into a more serious level, I was an RH and CTDP fanboy, it was their groups that inspired me to become a modder. I do not have the talent for modeling, or texturing but I had the ability to manage a group.
CTDP have gone through so much hardship over the last two years, and like MMG, they too have mods un-released. But so what? Why don’t all of you stop looking at what has not been released, and start looking at the dedication and hard work that is being placed into this mod by CTDP simply for your enjoyment.
I myself would like to congratulate the CTDP team for coming closer to releasing this mod. I am anxious to try out the Midland as that is my favourite car in 06. The mod looks fantastic and I hope the physics will be the same. Keep up the excellent work guys.

Comparing MMG with CTDP is insane. CTDP actually finishes the mods it promises and is responsive to the sim community instead of being petulant.

See what I told? Yanden has proven it.
At MMG everyone complains just too much. And that’s not all. If there’s something I hate is someone who “sacrifices himself” in order to do something and waits for people to be thankful and, if nobody says “thank you”, they’ll scream.
I’m sorry to tell this, and believe me, I appreciate (and I already said thanks on a blog and forum, the day MMG 07 was released) the work MMG does (except that they like A LOT to start new mods instead of finishing the WIP), but that’s something that really annoys me.
STOP COMPLAINING, MMG Team! If you don’t like what you do, then don’t do it!! Don’t expect people to say thanks, some will, some will not. That’s humans. Yes it sucks. No, you can’t change it.
Don’t misunderstand me, MMG Team. This is a constructive critics. If you google it, you’ll see much more information about what I just told

Yanden, I know that U’re not a major company with millions of dollars(or Bank of America)like CTDP & others. I just want to know what about MMG F1 2008. By the way, I spoke to Luis, that MMG is quality mod team like and CTDP(see my first comment). But too much announces.

CTDP and MMG rocks!
This is why every budy is so impatient to drive!!!
I love the sounds and AI of FSone 2007 but their steering wheels are too small ruining the imersion and they insist on those ridiculous driver arms…

I would say completing this mod in 2 years is actually very fast. The models and textures look extremely good, better than any mods that we have now(at least in the screenshots.

What about keeping your mouth close Mr Mitos. You seem to have criticism for everyone without making any positive contbributions of your own.
LuisNabais
November 13th, 2008 at 21:32
F1Racer, I’m sorry, but I’ve searched on this list of comments and the only one I found is you telling someone to shut up.
Is there anything hidden in the middle of your comment that I can’t see, that makes your comment positive or constructive? I only see a critics on someone, without saying any valid kind of reason. And you even tell that another member just criticizes everyone without reason, when I can see comments from that member that tell otherwise…
So… If you have anything useful to say, then say it, or else, it’s you who can be quiet in your corner.

November 13th, 2008 at 21:33
Oh, wait. it seems, from the link in your nickname, you are somehow related to MMG or in MMG. That explains everything. Again, complaints, no reason for that other than just not knowing how to accept critics or people not saying “thank you” in a very polite way… please…
